ADOPTION AND USES OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON FAMILY BONDS AMONG RESIDENTS IN AKUNGBA COMMUNITY, ONDO STATE
Abstract
It examines social media's impact on family bonds in Akungba-Akoko, identifying WhatsApp as the primary platform for communication. It finds that while social media enhances interaction and emotional closeness—especially for distant family members—it also introduces challenges like conflict, suspicion, and reduced physical togetherness.
