To Him alone be all the glory, honour, power, dominion, adoration, praise, and splendor forever.

They were the persons Allah used as worthy vessels to bring me to this world and to nurture me physically, spiritually, mentally, materially, and in other areas of life. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Numerous people contributed to the success of this research. But first and foremost, I want to acknowledge the generous help of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful (God Almighty) who was my backbone throughout the duration of the programme.

  • Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development
    Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development Harrison and Rachael Lagos State University, Nigeria 1. Introduction The idea of a global village, the aspiration of man at this jet age, is aided not only by the Internet, but also more seriously by other types of media. Thus, man, through the media, can get what language form, fashion, music etc are in vogue. In little or no time through our listening to the radio set or watching the television set, we could get to do what others are doing. The media, therefore, become a fast means through which we could get anything promoted. The objective of this paper is to examine the role of the media in the development or otherwise of Nigerian languages. We trace such contributions to the developmental stage the country, at present, finds herself. Development in this study covers a number of concepts, which range from education, social, cultural, to indigenous linguistic maturity. For the study therefore, we examine the radio and television programmes of two media houses each from inception to date. We see how these organisations have consciously or otherwise promoted or chocked the language and consequently culture, through their programmes. We link such positions to the people’s mental and social developments. The study is anchored on Gerhard Leitner’s The Sociolinguistics of Communication Media. Geshard Leitner based his work on address media in the context of the communication dominion. He reveals what performance is, what parameters are that determine its norms. He equally looks at the functions the media aims to fulfill in the society.

  • 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, osakpolorgregory@yahoo.com 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.

  • Nigerian Film Industry in the Mirror of African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA)
    Nigerian Film Industry in the Mirror of African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) (2016) Journal of Arts and Humanities 5.9: Pp 75-83. http://www.theartsjournal.org (ISSN: 2167-9045). By Stanislaus Iyorza (Ph.D), Department of Theatre and Media Studies University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria. stamorji@yahoo.com orjighstan@gmail.com +2347064903578 ABSTRACT Worried by the drastic decline in the quality of content of Nigerian movies as evaluated by critics, this paper analyzes the evaluation of Nigerian movies by the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) between 2006 and 2016. The objective is to review the decisions of the AMAA jury and to present the academy’s position on the prospects and deficiencies of the Nigerian Movie industry. The paper employs analytical research approach using both primary and secondary sources to explore assessed contents of the Nollywood movies and how far the industry has fared in the mirror of a renowned African movie assessor like AMAA. This paper assembles data of the awards of AMAA since inception and graphically presents the data. Findings reveal a sharp drop in quality of content of Nigerian movies over the years with a hope of an upsurge as adjudged by AMAA since 2006. The study recommends the private sector’s all round support to Nollywood and the federal government’s training or retraining of filmmakers as well as sustained funding for the steady development of the Nigerian movie industry. Key words: AMAA, Evaluation, Film, Jury, Nollywood. 1 Introduction Nigeria is currently faced with a myriad of issues including a drastic recession in the economy, the political arena and the art industry.

  • Jadesola Osiberu‟S Isoken: a Filmic Postulation for Feminism

Nigeria Correspondence: Charles Nwachukwu, Department of Mass Communication, Caleb University, Lagos, Nigeria. Received: April 2, 2019 Accepted: April 28, 2019 Online Published: May 29, 2019 doi:10.11114/smc.v7i1.4306 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/smc.v7i1.4306 Abstract While other media of mass communication such as Television, Radio and Print have to contend, largely, with the expectations of informing, educating and entertaining, film ascends over all these to find a niche in “expressing”. 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.
