Don't believe everything you read online.
This is a prime example of how quickly fake news and fabricated stories can spread across social media.

But the real outcome of this workshop cannot be measured by attendance figures. It will be measured by stories reported more responsibly, misinformation challenged more effectively, and democratic conversations that become more truthful & inclusive as #2027Elections approaches.

In a practical session on Verification & Fact-Checking, @themuslaw, FCA Fact-Checker, led participants through essential verification workflows: reverse image search, source authentication techniques, OSINT methods & responsible use of AI verification tools for electoral content.

Day 1 focused on one critical question: What does Nigeria's information environment look like as we approach another major electoral cycle?

Leading this conversation was Tonye Bakare, @AFP Nigeria Correspondent, who led a great session on the pre-electoral information landscape.

[FactCheckAfrica @FactC_Africa]

the workshop is designed to strengthen the capacity of frontline information actors to respond to mis/disinformation, hate speech, and emerging AI-related threats ahead of key electoral milestones, including Ekiti & Osun governorship elections & Nigeria's 2027 general elections.

A participant mentioned that ,Men are not involved in discussing pregnancy hence their lack of involvement of FP.

Understanding what women go through will enable them to participate in FP /Reproductive discussion

Speak the language men’s want to hear will aid their involvement in FP discussions. By designing messages that is tailored to men instead of women alone. Most programs are centered on women alone.

"By intensifying and censoring messages on social media, we can ensure the dissemination of accurate information." In other to ensure Male Involvement in FP advocacy.

#TCINigeria @gatesfoundation @LSMOH @getittogetherNG

To achieve male involvement in using FP methods”Assessment needs to be done and identifying key stakeholders and Capacity building “ when comparing about Northern and Southern Nigeria .
