  Social networks have become very popular in recent years because of the
increasing large number and affordability of internet enabled gadgets such as
personal computers, mobile devices and internet tablets. It has been observed
that the tempo of fraud in social media these days is over alarming most
especially in Nigeria. As a result of this, there is need to fortify the social
network services in order to secure e-mail communication and reinforce data
security. This paper advocates for an advanced and secured approach for
improving communication in a social Network with the use of geo-location
technique. The system was designed using an Object-Oriented software
development methodology and implemented using the server-based scripting
language - PHP, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and back-end with MySQL. The
proposed system will help the government and security agencies fight recent
security challenges in the country.
