Human Factors and Cultism Control in Social Media for Higher Education
The social media network is one of the trending platforms engaged for communication by students.
Regrettably, this system has been used by persons to plan and commit cyber fraud and public vices.
Some of the tertiary institutions including secondary and university in Nigeria have been turned to
cultist environments resulting in killings and disorder amongst students in the school and environs. This
is a situation that has continued to struggle with solutions in most higher institutions in the country,
particularly in the government owned institutions. This obviously is a human factor issue that needs to
be addressed. The objective of this study is to provide social media‐based system that is integrated with
anti‐cultism component services towards combating cultism on campus. The platform will support
interaction and learning on and off campus while at the same time helping to curtail cultism among
students through filtering of keywords communicated on social media that are crime‐based or cultismrelated.
In carrying out this study, appropriate research methods and implementation techniques such
as modeling, design, server‐side programming, database were deployed. The platform provides a dual
platform that will enable active students to participate in learning, and also cultism control in the school
system
