This work carefully examined the social media utilization and students’ academic performance in Alimosho Local Government Area, Lagos State The investigation used the data carefully gathered from questionnaires administered to students and teachers of four randomly selected senior secondary schools in the local government. Responses of 300 students and 40 teachers in the selected school were analyzed employing the descriptive statistical instrumental of frequency count and percentage.
The analysis revealed that above 90 per cent of the student engaged one social networking site or the other with majority of them predominantly belong to Facebook, Whatsapp and 2go social media communities. However, most students failed to utilize these sites for academic-related purposes but for relational purposes and romantic purposes among others.
This is further affirmed by the results obtained by the researcher from the students’ poor performance in Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) between 2010 and 2015 in the selected schools. The researcher equally found out that students’ unguarded exposure to social networking sites posed many behavioural risks to them as some sites make them wild, aggressive, narcissistic, bullying in language, conduct, comportment and character.
Although, social networking site have negative effect on teenagers, this site also have benefits if students use then appropriately. This platform if properly utilized can be a veritable tool for e- learning. So school authorities should come up with a template on how their students can maximize the benefit of social media while the government need to put in place adequate control measures to regulate content of social media as well as student usage of the site.

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background to the Study
The emergence, growth and development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) all over the globe have improved communication a great deal. Of course, communication has a long history as the existence of man but the invention of ICT has brought information to the finger tip of people.
One cannot dispute the fact that the emergence of computers and mobile phones coupled with the corresponding internet facilities has aided the development and growth of many social media. People can now share ideas, thoughts, feelings, opinions, pictures, music, videos and make friends via different Social Networking Sites (SNSs). Thus, the social media has indisputably become one of the most important communication means in recent times.
However, Social Networking Sites exist so as to provide communication among people regardless of the distance, making it open to people easily share information, news, files and pictures and videos, create blogs and send messages, and conduct real-time conversations. These systems are referred to as social, simply because they allow communication with friends, family members, followers and co-workers so easily and effectively.
It also strengthens the ties between people of those systems. The favourites in the realm of internet sites are Facebook, Twitters, Youtube, Whatsapp, 2go, Instagram, Myspace, Skype among others. These websites and social forums are way of communication directly with other people socially and in media. The platforms can be used for teaching and learning processes, romantic relationship among others.
They are playing a large and influential role in decision-making in the global world of economy, politics, social, cultural and education. Asides our educational landscape, the world political, religious, social, media and business settings have been greatly influenced by the potential of social media.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The world today is a global village in which the internet is the most important source of information. Since the advent of social media sites in the 1990s, it is assumed in some quarters that the academic performance of students is facing a lot of distractions and other challenges. The educational system in Nigeria is faced with so many challenges which have certainly brought about a rapidly decline in the quality of education across levels.
There is a deviation, distraction and divided attention between social networking activities and their academic work. It is observed that students, especially in secondary schools and colleges devote more attention to social media than they do to their studies and this invariably posed a negative effect on their internally and external examinations.
There have been a lot of complaints among school authorities, teachers and parents on why students fails the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations organized by National Examination Council (NECO), West African Examination Council (WAEC) and others. Of course, education thrives where there are no distractions, but with the advent of social networking sites, students’ concentration in the class has been drastically reduced.
Though the curricula are less difficult when compared to what it used to be in the past, many failures are still recorded in the schools today. Many factors are responsible for this situations and one of them is not unconnected to students’ addictiveness to social networks. Students’ frequency of exposure to social networking sites has diverted their attention from the activities in the classroom.
No wonder, many schools have banned or considering the option of banning the use of phone and gadget that exposed the students to social media. Social media networks that students are more exposed to and the influence of social media as a medium of interaction between students have been part of discussion in recent times and which have imparted on their academic performance negatively. However, no matter how small, there are some gains in the sites too if sincerely approached.
Instead of students reading their books, they spend their time chatting and making friends, sharing obscene materials via the social media and this might definitely have negative influence on their academic performance, because when you do not read, there is no way you can perform well academically.
It is a common thing to see a student chatting in sensitive and highly organized places like church, mosque and classroom environments. Some are so carried away that even as they are walking along the highway, they keep chatting, the scenario that has made some to lose their lives after they are hit by cars, motorcycles or crushed by trains.
The trend had even made the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to banned the use of phone while driving because of its risk to life as many drivers have lost their lives, wasted the lives of their passengers and pedestrians as a result of chatting, pinging, face booking, twittering, 2going, etc behind the wheel on the road.
1.3 Research Questions
The following research questions were raised to guide the study:
- What is the level of social media utilization on educational attainments and behavioural outcomes of students in secondary schools?
- To what extent would students’ addictiveness to social network influence their academic performance?
- Does time spent on social networking sites reduced time spend on studies?
- Do students in secondary schools actually employ the social networking sites to gather academic-related information, social-related information or information that injures their mind and divert their attention from studies?
- Does students’ exposure to social networking sites affect their behavioural conduct in schools?
- Do more successful students connected on social media than less successful students?
