Abstract
The study examined social media mockumentay’s influence on separatist movements in Southeastern Nigeria. Survey research method was adopted while a combination of questionnaire and interview schedule were used as the research instrument. Findings reveal that the people of Southeastern Nigeria are exposed to social media mockumentary; the messages of social media mockumentary have been able to give adequate information on the strengths and weaknesses of political office holders and that the residents of Southeastern Nigeria not only believe but also apply the messages of social media mockumentary in their estimation of political office holders. Furthermore, findings show that social media mockumentary have greatly influenced separatist movements among the residents of Southeastern Nigeria. The study concludes that the social media has given enough attention to the issue of good governance and liberal democracy in Nigeria but the response among governmental officials is low.
