@james_yeku @james-yeku In his preface to the netizen book, Michael pointed out that 2 definitions of netizen developed. One using the word as he intended as practicing a new form of citizenship, the other as any user. Nice that you use netizen as Michael intended when introducing it.
Want to thank Dr James Yékú @james_yeku for the Zoom session you had today 2/24 about “Nigeria’s Twitter Ban and the Logic of Cultural Netizenship" It was good to learn about the activism of everyday people in Nigeria using social media to push back against the abuse of power.
Just got a notice A7272/S7412 was signed into law late last night. The new law will be known asChapter 749 of the laws of 2021. It’s an Important law to strengthen the affordable housing provided by the Mitchell-Lama law. Still need to see details of new law.
The expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision is one of the most popular and important provisions in the entire reconciliation bill. It’s what the American people want. It’s not coming out.

It’s time to build affordable housing and create good-paying jobs in the process.
