Finally, the work is dedicated to my family members that have slept in Christ, who I always imagine standing among the cloud of witnesses in Heaven cheering me on. Your memory is a blessing to me. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I am grateful to God whom I often praise as “Baba ti ki pa omo lekun” (A father that does not delight in making his child cry). He was and is the anchor for my life on difficult days. He stood by me, with me and for me all through life and particularly in the trying period of this doctoral programme. Moreover, it was the Prince of Preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon that once said that “gratitude to God must not be excuse for ingratitude to men.” Hence, my appreciation goes to those who made the journey pleasant and easy for me. I deeply appreciate the leadership of my spiritual father and Chancellor of Covenant University, Dr. David O. Oyedepo. Daddy, thank you for your obedience to the Heavenly vision that birthed the Liberation Commission and our royal institution, Covenant University. More so, for your relentless and untiring commitment to see it become a globally renowned institution and one of the top ten universities in the world captioned as Vision 1 of 10 in 10 by 2022. I equally celebrate and appreciate the support of my spiritual mother, Pastor (Mrs.) Faith Oyedepo. Thank you for being a living epistle of the woman described in Proverbs 31. You are indeed a woman of the God-kind. Also, I want to thank the management team of Covenant University led by Vice Chancellor, Prof. A. A. A. Atayero; Deputy Vice Chancellor Prof. Akan Williams, Registrar Dr. Lanre Amodu for your wonderful leadership. Similarly, the Dean of the College of Leadership Development Studies, Prof. Innocent Chiluwa and Head of Department, Prof. Sherrif Folarin, thank you. I am deeply indebted to the immediate past Head of Department and Co-supervisor, of this thesis. Dr. Oluyemi Fayomi for your unwavering love and support since my undergraduate days at the Covenant University. Thank you for being a role model of ethical and compassionate leadership and also for being an “Apostle” of honesty, sacrifice and authenticity in the work place. I am also grateful to my supervisor Dr. Matthew Egharevba. I also appreciate the Dean of Postgraduate Studies Prof. Abiodun Adebayo for his leadership and encouragement. vii Furthermore, I am thankful to past and present member of the Department of Political Science and International Relations.

I also want to thank my friends in Department of Business Management; Dr. Stephen Ibidunni, Dr. Hezekiah Falola and several others for their encouragement. Significantly, I celebrate my “foster” parent, Pastor Gideon Oyedepo and Pastor (Mrs.) Grace Adunola Oyedepo. Thank you for believing in me. I deeply appreciate your financial, spiritual, emotional and material investments. Thank you for standing by me when I thought my life had ended and I would never smile again. Specifically, I appreciate and celebrate your kindness mummy; I have learned not to qualify your motherhood in my life as biological or otherwise because you tower above such a qualification, you did and surpass what my biological mother would have done if she was alive. I deeply and sincerely love you mum. I also want to express gratitude to my younger brothers: Johnson Oluwatosin Isreal, Johnson Adeyinka Daniel, and Johnson Abiola Moses. I am learning through you continually the definition of love and kindness. More so, I celebrate my sisters, Dr. Faith Oyedepo and Sarah Oyedepo; you ladies exemplify and redefine sisterhood in ways that will be models for generations to come. Similarly, I am thankful to a brother and father figure in my life, Deacon Peter Popoola and his lovely wife, Mrs Bunmi Popoola.Thank you for your encouragement and support during this programme. Pastor Kayode Popoola and Mrs. Elizabeth Popoola, thank you for your support spiritually, financially, and materially all through this doctoral programme. May the anointing over your life never run dry. viii Furthermore, it is Iyanla Vanzant that distinguishes being a mummy from being a mother. The former, she asserts is biological and the latter is a product of role and responsibility. I am thankful to my elder sister turned “mother,” Johnson Florence Abosede. Your role and responsibilities in my life reflect that of a mother. Your kindness and love towards me and my younger ones in many ways are reminiscent of our biological mother and for this I am grateful. Also, I am grateful to Lady Victoria Johnson for towering high as an intellectual “brouhaha” that as a child I craved to become. Thank you is so inadequate for all you did and will continually do for me. Of great significance are the contributions of Gbade Popoola, Brother Sola Popoola and Faith Popoola; thank you for standing with me during the most challenging and difficult moment of my life. I celebrate your sisterhood and honour your support. I am grateful to my friends turned sisters, prayer partner and gist partner, and with whom I have walked on the sea of life together and known the high and low of life; Dr. Olufolahan Osunmuyiwa, time has proven that you are a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Engineer Funmi Adiat, thank you for being my shade when I would have been melted by the sun and the heat of life. I am thankful for the day I met you. Dr. Ayo Adiat and my Lagos, Global Positioning System (GPS), Queen Adiat, I am thankful. Equally, I am thankful to my friend’s parents Dr. and Mrs Adiat and Mrs. Abiodun Osunmuyiwa, thank you for loving me as one of your daughters. I am thankful to my number 1 in-law, Mr Leye Wuraola and his amiable wife, Mrs. Funmilayo Wuraola for being a constant pillar of support. My gratitude is beyond what I can articulate in words to Dr. & Mrs. Ojo (Mummy and Daddy Tope), I appreciate your prayers and encouragement. I am indebted to one of my elder brothers who was solidly behind me in turbulent times, Dr. Olatunji Oyedepo and his lovely wife, Mrs. Moyo Oyedepo; thank you for your encouragement and counsel which I greatly cherish and value.

    A Consideration of Genevieve Nnaji's Lionheart

    EJOTMAS: EKPOMA JOURNAL OF THEATRE AND MEDIA ARTS 83 http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ejotmas.v7i1-2.6 BALANCING GENDER STEREOTYPES IN NOLLYWOOD: A CONSIDERATION OF GENEVIEVE NNAJI’S LIONHEART *Roselyn Vona DOGHUDJE Abstract The current increase in the protest for women’s right all over the world, amidst the resurgence of feminist critical thinking in mainstream culture, is giving film researchers a lot to reflect on. Based on previous researches, it can be deduced that very little progress has been made to correct the stereotypical portrayal of women in Nollywood films by both male and female producers. In order to examine the stereotypes and investigate the extent to these stereotypes reflect the social reality of both genders in real life, Lionheart, a movie produced by a veteran Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, with an average rating of 5.6/10 on IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and was nominated for an Oscar award was selected. Quantitative content analysis was applied and findings revealed that there was an effort by the producer to ‘demystify’ the power of men. The issues raised in the movie are topical and relevant to the feminist discourse on women’s representation in film and in the media generally. The movie also provides a way forward for gender-based discourse and serves as a point of reference for other female directors willing to interpret the role of women in a manner that is more accurate and truthfully reflective of their strengths and capacities. The study is anchored on stereotype content model (SCM). Keywords: Gender stereotypes, Nollywood films, Lionheart, Feminist critical thinking, SCM Introduction The discourse about gender stereotype is on the rise and there is no sign of slowing.

    Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema Author: Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 2 By Añulika Agina Copyright: Genevieve Nnaji/TEN - The Entertainment Network Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema 3 By Añulika Agina Toolkit: Southern Nigerian Cinema A significant amount of literature exists on the southern Nigerian cinema, which was inaugurated with the 1992 Igbo-language film, Living in Bondage. Little is known and documented about the colonial cinema of Nigeria and the period immediately after colonial rule. Although films were made in the 1970s and 1980s by filmmakers such as Eddie Ugboma, Ola Balogun and Ladi Ladebo, such films and critical analyses about them are not readily accessible. Hyginus Ekwuazi, Jonathan Haynes and Onookome Okome (see texts below) have written excellent accounts of the history of Nigerian cinema, especially of the Nollywood boom and the socio- cultural contexts that gave rise to them. The film industry in southern Nigeria is today the largest in Africa, producing over a thousand film titles per annum with locally sourced funds and distributed internationally. Foreign investment in Nigerian film is on the rise given the visibility that local productions have created at home and abroad. The government has also taken notice of the commercial viability of the industry and pledged billions of naira through the Bank of Industry to support the film business. The films receive critical acclaim and are commercial hits within Africa and among Africans in the diaspora. The sections below provide some critical texts and film titles to guide new comers to the nature and scholarship on the Nigerian film industry. The lists are by no means exhaustive; they only serve as a tip of the iceberg in the hope that interested parties can request additional information by emailing aa207@ soas.ac.uk or [email protected] Some Key Texts Ekwuazi, H.

    THE EVOLUTION OF FEMINISM IN NIGERIAN MEDIA: A LOOK AT IGBO CULTURE FILMS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies University of Regina By Joy Adanna Emelogu Regina, Saskatchewan January 2019 Copyright 2019: J. A. Emelogu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Joy Adanna Emelogu, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies, has presented a thesis titled, The Evolution of Feminism in Nigerian Media: A Look at IGBO Culture Films, in an oral examination held on December 19, 2018. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Claire Carter, Department of Women’s and Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Sheila Petty, Department of Film Committee Member: Dr. Christine Ramsay, Department of Film Committee Member: Dr. Darlene Juschka, Department of Women’s & Gender Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Philip Charrier, Department of History Abstract This thesis addresses the subject of feminism in the Nigerian media, particularly on how issues related to women’s rights and gender discrimination have been addressed in Igbo culture Nigerian films. For several decades, the Nigerian home video industry, dominated by Igbo culture-themed films, has been one of the most influential media forms across Nigeria and Africa in general. These films are a staple in many homes; the images, narratives, and ideas that they disseminate go a long way in shaping or reinforcing public perceptions about the role of women and their status in society.

    The Reimagined Paradise: African Immigrants in the United States, Nollywood Film, and the Digital Remediation of 'Home'

    THE REIMAGINED PARADISE: AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES, NOLLYWOOD FILM, AND THE DIGITAL REMEDIATION OF 'HOME' Tori O. Arthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Patricia Sharp Graduate Faculty Representative Vibha Bhalla Lara Lengel © 2016 Tori O. Arthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This dissertation analyzes how African immigrants from nations south of the Sahara become affective citizens of a universal Africa through the consumption of Nigerian cinema, known as Nollywood, in digital spaces. Employing a phenomenological approach to examine lived experience, this study explores: 1) how American media aids African pre-migrants in constructing the United States as a paradise rooted in the American Dream; 2) immigrants’ responses when the ‘imagined paradise’ does not match their American realities; 3) the ways Nigerian films articulate a distinctly African cultural experience that enables immigrants from various nations to identify with the stories reflected on screen; and, 4) how viewing Nollywood films in social media platforms creates a digital sub-diaspora that enables a reconnection with African culture when life in the United States causes intellectual and emotional dissonance. Using voices of members from the African immigrant communities currently living in the United States and analysis of their online media consumption, this study ultimately argues that the Nigerian film industry, a transnational cinema with consumers across the African diaspora, continuously creates a fantastical affective world that offers immigrants tools to connect with their African cultural values.
