'Social media propaganda secretaries': the job title for the online influencers being hired by Nigerian politicians to run disinformation and fake news campaigns. @HassanIdayat and @JCHitchen went to meet some of them in Kano, and the details are wild. mg.co.za/article/2019-0…
We are really excited to publish the @mailandguardian's first ever story in Hausa, on the people who were running fake news and disinformation campaigns in Kano ahead of the Nigerian election: mg.co.za/article/2019-0…

Read in conjunction with this other fascinating @HassanIdayat analysis on how Nigerian politicians are weaponising fake news. And it's by no means an exclusively Nigerian problem. mg.co.za/article/2019-0…
