It is the gathering of diverse users involving people and companies who create, share, or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks (Buettner, 2016). Social Media sites have become very popular way for people to interact with family, friends and contemporaries from around the globe, changing the way connected individuals interact. Most social network users share a large amount of their private information in their social network space. This information ranges from demographic information, contact information, comments, images, videos, etc. Some users publish their information publicly without careful consideration. Hence, social networks have become a large pool of sensitive data and its simple accessibility makes it a major targets that attract cyber criminals. Cyber criminals exploit sensitive data and chain of connection mostly through social engineering and reverse social engineering (RSE). This has pose serious risks to privacy, data, and reputation. This paper examines privacy and security issues emanating from social media communications, revealing strengths and pitfalls hence proffering solution on how to protect user profiles as well as conversations using end-to-end data encryption.

These issues contribute to inflation, food shortages, and insecurity, impacting economic stability. The agricultural sector, heavily affected by climate change and insurgency, experiences disrupted production and distribution, exacerbating food scarcity and price inflation. This paper overviews existing literature on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields of human endeavor to address these challenges. It was observed that AI's capabilities in data analysis, predictive modeling, and decision-making provide tools for governments, businesses, and communities to address socioeconomic challenges. Machine learning techniques have shown effectiveness in forecasting inflation and understanding market dynamics, offering greater flexibility than traditional methods. In agriculture, AI applications such as precision farming, remote sensing, and crop monitoring improve yields and reduce environmental impact. The integration of AI in economic forecasting, agriculture, and market dynamics can drive sustainable development and economic resilience, helping Nigeria tackle its pressing challenges and achieve inclusive growth.
