  • Portrayal of Women in Contemporary Nollywood Films: Isoken and King of Boys in Focus

    Portrayal of Women in Contemporary Nollywood Films: Isoken and King of Boys in Focus

    Portrayal of Women in Contemporary Nollywood Films: Isoken and King of Boys in Focus Emwinromwankhoe Osakpolor, University of Benin, [email protected] Volume 9. 1 (2021) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2021.299 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This study investigates the portrayal of women in contemporary Nollywood films, using Isoken (2017) and King of Boys (2018) as case studies. The objective was to highlight the various ways in which women in the films are portrayed to viewers and ascertain whether contemporary Nollywood movies are an improvement on the issues of gender stereotypes and sexism which are hitherto prevalent in the industry. Anchored on the cultivation theory, the study adopted the qualitative content analysis method. Findings showed that women in the studied films are negatively portrayed in various ways and that these portrayals are, at best, parallel to the stereotypical ways in which women were portrayed in previous Nollywood movies. Taking cognizance of the fact that both films are directed by women, the researcher recommends that Nollywood female directors should look beyond the lenses of financial gains and set a pace with regards to changing the narrative and portraying Nigerian women in a positive light.

It was a British colony which was amalgamated in 1914. The country became independent in 1962 and was right away bedeviled by military coups d’états and a bloody civil war (1967-1970). In 1999, the country experienced democratic dispensation. In the 1990s, the Nollywood nascent movie industry—following in the footpath of Hollywood and Bollywood—flourished. The movie industry grew thanks to four factors: Rapid urbanization; the hand-held video camera; the advent of satellite TV; and, the overseas migrations of Nigerians. Local languages are used in these films; however, English is the most prominent, along with Nigerian pidgin broken English. Many themes are treated in these films: tradition and customs, religion, witchcraft and sorcery, satire, urban and rural lives, wealth acquisition, consumerism, etc. I discuss the ways in which American popular culture is adopted in Nigeria and recreated on screen.

Film, therefore, can set out for the singular purpose of expression. This study intends to analytically expose those indicators and determinants of feminism locked in within the film content of Isoken, a 2017 Nollywood movie produced and directed by Jadesola Osiberu. These components should lend evidence to the central argument in this paper that this particular film displays a strong tendency towards feminist sentiments. The Feminism Theory is, aptly, adopted to buttress the standpoint here. A theoretical study, it utilizes the qualitative research approach, relying on personal analysis and interpretation of the film. It found that a good number of elements exist within the film content to suggest that ISOKEN leans sufficiently towards feminism. These include Isoken's defiance of communal and family values, the predominantly female cast as well as the brazen usurpation of certain privileged roles that the Nigeria society had hitherto reserved for men, amongst others.

Most playwrights/screenwriters write their plays for the purpose of impacting moral lessons in the society or exposing the ills and imbalances of a society. From its earlier beginnings, character and themes among other elements combine to set a play/film in proper perspective with the cultural milieu of the play/films existence. A study of Emem Isong's films, 'Reloaded' invites the audience to reflect on society in order to capture the meaning and essence of life. This study investigates the challenges of character portrayal and the issue of themes in the video film. Its ultimate aim is to help would-be artist who would venture into screenwriting to write stories not just for the purpose of entertaining, but to write on pressing issues in the society that needs to be corrected. Data for this study was collected through continuous watching of the movie, script and character analysis, relevant journals and discussion with people.

    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of African Media Studies published by Intellect doi: 10.1386/jams.9.3.487_1 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/32045 Celebrity endorsement of political aspirants and its effects on college students in Lagos Añulika Agina and Akpevwe Ekwevugbe Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos Abstract This article examines two main research questions: what factors justify celebrity endorsement as an election campaign strategy given the increasing doubts associated with celebrity involvement in politics? Did celebrity endorsement of political aspirants influence young adults‟ voting behaviour during the 2015 elections in Lagos? Using mixed method approaches, and supported by source credibility and celebrity endorsement debates, a survey was conducted with a sample of 375 students of the Yaba College of Technology. Three semi-structured interviews with members of successful campaign teams were also conducted. Our findings revealed that campaign managers have huge confidence in the celebrity endorsement strategy for several reasons and would employ the approach in future. Further, the young people interrogated revealed that two-thirds of them are fans of Nollywood stars and music icons. But they were not influenced to vote on the basis of the celebrities‟ say-so. These findings are somewhat consistent with extant literature, but suggest the need for further studies regarding how celebrities translate fandom to votes. Keywords: celebrity endorsement, celebrity, politics, voting behaviour, election campaigns, Nigeria Introduction Media celebrities are highly regarded in their societies; and this enables them function as effective promoters of persons, issues, products, and causes since they are perceived as believable, trustworthy, likeable and persuasive (Austin et al, 2008) agents.

  • A Visio-Cultural Study of Nollywood Video-Film

    A Visio-Cultural Study of Nollywood Video-Film

    The Fantastic Subject: A Visio-Cultural Study of Nollywood Video-Film A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Art History) of RHODES UNIVERSITY By Nomusa Makhubu 2013 Declaration I declare that this essay is my own work and that all the sources I have used have been acknowledged by means of complete references. _____________________________ 2013/12/12 Abstract The increasing popularity of Nigerian video-film, defined as the ‘Nollywood phenomenon’ (Barrot 2008, Haynes 2010, Adesokan 2011), has attracted recent interdisciplinary academic attention, now known as ‘Nollywood Studies’. The aesthetics and ideological approach of Nollywood video-film are often differentiated from those of the long-established and illustrious African Cinema. Films of Africa are, however, generally characterised by seemingly unique forms of the fantastic – an uneasy theme in scholarship on Nollywood. Although Nollywood video-film is commended by some scholars, its representation of the supernatural and the fantastic is often perceived to be demeaning. Considering the complexity of fantastic themes in creative arts of Africa, this study contributes to this field of study by positioning Nollywood as an interventionist artistic practice that subverts the division between art and popular culture. Further, it considers how this positioning could shift our thinking about what constitutes art and creative practice in Africa. The distinctions between art and popular culture have been inherited from particularly Western disciplines. A critical analysis of the fantastic in Nollywood could expand interpretations of the broader uses of new media and appropriation and develop the discourse on contemporary creative practices of Africa and the parameters of the art history discipline.
