the relationships of Odionganons relationships. This study addressed the
following questions: 1. What is the demographic profile of the participants in
terms of: a) age; b) religion; c) sex; and d) work? 2. What are the negative and
positive impact of opposing political views on Odionganons’ to the following: a)
close relationship; b) family relationship; c) romantic relationship; and d) work

in terms of: a) face-to-face communication; and b) social media interaction? To
describe the impact of conflicting political beliefs on Odionganon relationships,
the study used a descriptive research technique. Using the data, an empirical
investigation was undertaken in order to obtain a conclusion that informs
warnings about the dangers of holding opposing ideas. A semi-structured
interview, on the other hand, was employed to gather information for this inquiry.
The analysis of verbatim transcripts of respondent interviews served as the
foundation for this method. The data was also analyzed using the audio
recording of the interview. The transcripts were obtained directly from the audio
recording of the interview. The researcher transcribed, assessed, and coded the
interviews. A variety of coding techniques were used to analyze the data.
Furthermore, the study discovered that various types of relationships are affected
differently by opposing political ideas, both positive and negative ways. The data
revealed that friendship was the most badly affected, followed by family and job
relationships, and love relationships were unaffected. Opposing political beliefs,
on the other hand, had a greater impact on Odionganons' social media
interaction than on face-to-face conversation. Given the findings that there is a
major negative impact on how people connect with one another, particularly
those close to them, the researcher suggested that the government, schools, and
workplaces take this problem seriously and take additional action.
