As a data analyst one should be able to analyse the current trends in social media. This is useful in decision making and insight on people's views. Currently there is teachers strike in Kenya which has lasted for four weeks. Schools are closed and the strike is still as per the time of updating this blog. I won't go to the logistic about the strike but I can use my skills to determine people's views, correlation between the strike and other things. Take for example the president's name, the opposition leaders, the teachers and the children, all of them are affected from the analysis. Check out the ggplot product below to gain more insight.
The data sets are just tweets about the teachers strike. The bar graph shows more insight in that among the tweets users mention different words during tweets and the frequency of these words is what I have used to plot this graph. Also check out the word cloud below.
From the word cloud it is clear that strike was the word of the tweets. Followed by other words like teachers, the impeachment thereat from the opposition, UKenyatta the current president who is facing impeachment threats, Raila is the opposition leader, Ruto is the deputy president, Mutahi ngunyi is a well known political analyst who is a staunch supporter of President Kenyatta. There are so many words from the tweets but the word cloud only had specific frequency I had set.
