Political Communication in the South East Nigeria: An Analysis of sit-at-home communication Model
Keywords:
Political Communication, South East, Sit-at-Home Communication modelAbstract
The study tries to critically analyze sit-at-home as a communication model developed by the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as innovation political communication strategy for the zone. The model emerged to balance the communication gap between the elite and the people, which hitherto has been communication from them to us, and not communication from us to them. Essay method was applied to allow experience-rich narrative in the analysis. Processes and obstacles in form of militating factors were observed with bitterness. Therefore, the study concludes that the communication model was ideal for the marginalized people though suppressed now, but can resurrect in the future as marginalization narratives continue.
