Are social media platforms helping or harming Nigerian youths?

In Relevance of Social Media Indulgence on Mental Health of Nigerian Youths: A Critical X-ray, Irobiko Chimezie Kingsley delivers a powerful, research-driven exploration of how social media use, digital culture, and algorithmic influence are shaping the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Nigeria.

As smartphones, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), and YouTube dominate daily life, Nigerian youths face rising levels of anxiety, stress, social comparison, digital pressure, and emotional exhaustion. But is social media addiction the real issue-or is something deeper at play?

This groundbreaking book introduces the concept of social media indulgence, moving beyond simple screen time debates to examine:

  • The psychological effects of social media on mental health
  • Social comparison, performative hustle, and digital entrepreneurship
  • Algorithm-driven content exposure and emotional wellbeing
  • Youth unemployment, economic pressure, and online identity
  • Digital wellbeing strategies for the African context
  • The intersection of technology, culture, and mental health in the Global South
Blending academic research, real-life narratives, and context-specific analysis, this book is essential reading for:
  • Students and researchers in media studies, psychology, and public health
  • Policymakers and educators
  • Mental health professionals
  • Parents and youth leaders
  • Anyone interested in digital wellbeing and African youth development
If you are searching for books on social media and mental health, Nigerian youth issues, digital addiction, social comparison theory, or technology and wellbeing, this critical and timely study offers insight, clarity, and solutions.

Discover the hidden psychological costs-and possibilities-of life online.
