Four research questions were raised and analyzed for the purpose of the study. The descriptive survey was used to survey all the two hundred and eleven (211) Professional, Para-Professional and Non-Professional Library Staff at John Harris Library, University of Benin, Benin, Edo State. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire and it was analyzed using frequency and simple percentage. The results revealed the internet resources used by undergraduate student during COVID 19 era. It also shows the influence of internet resources on information seeking behavior of undergraduates during covid 19 era and the extent of use of internet resources by undergraduate students for seeking of information. Based on the result, it was recommended that internet tools used for information retrieval should be maintained and used so that library staff can focus on other things. Students should be disciplined when using the internet for academic purpose as distractions is inevitable when using the internet. Finance also has a stronghold on the use of internet resources, ranging from bandwidth, power supply etc. Proper measures should be put into considerations to ensure the smooth use of the internet resources. In order to save the patron's time, library professionals should respond to user queries as soon as possible when the nature of the problem to be answered is complex. Poor internet connections also have an impact on student’s information-seeking behavior. Libraries and students should subscribe to a reliable and internet service provider or better still have options where one internet service provider is down for a moment, in such scenario, one can easily switch to the next internet service provider (ISP).

The major hindrance causing underdevelopment in African countries, including Nigeria is corruption, and the role of the media in combating the menace is crucial. Therefore, this study examined, not only the manner in which the media stance shapes public knowledge and perception of graft, but how the problem of graft and anti-graft campaign within the Nigerian context is presented by the media writer. Data in the research work comprised headline news, top stories, news and opinion articles, which represent online version of the newspapers and news report journals. The publications represented the media presentation of graft and anti-graft campaign in Nigeria within the period of 2015 and 2022 the research covered. The publications which were retrieved through the Internet, provided accurate and unbiased information about corruption through grammatical expressions of their contents. They were collected and transcribed by using data analytic software – AntCon. Here, only the selected news relating to graft and anti-graft campaign were generated and translated into text for analysis, in terms of their relationship with the context. The three analytical procedures of description, interpretation and explanation of the data characteristic of language study were employed. And a blend of Peter R.R.
