Abstract

This study examines the connection between family conditions and the criminal behaviours of children. Over the years, drama has been used to address the socio-political, economic and security challenges in different societies. The goal of these dramatists is to chart the way forward for a harmonious political, economic and social system. It is in this wise that, Foluke Ogunleye used her knowledge of drama to address serious issues affecting the progress and stability of the nation. This study finds that the explosion of crime in the nation is linked to the fragile family system surrounding the children’s upbringing by their respective families. This paper analyzes one of Foluke Ogunleye’s plays, Jabulile in an attempt to educate Nigerian families on what is expected of them as far as the issue of national security is concerned. This is done with the recognition that the family is the first unit of socialization. This study recommends that proper socialization of children by their parents is therefore a stepping stone for a harmonious socio-political system.

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection of communication strategies and theatrical performances in the context of political mobilization in Nigeria. Anchored on Play Theory and Social Identity Theory, it examines how political parties engage the electorate through performative tactics during rallies. Utilizing an online survey method, data were collected from 600 respondents across four Nigerian states: Edo, Lagos, Kaduna, and Enugu. The findings reveal a dominant preference for musical performances (67%) over local comedies (24%) or cultural dances (2%), indicating a strategic shift toward celebrity-driven engagement. Moreover, 64% of respondents perceive these performances as propaganda rather than substantive political communication. These results suggest that theatrical strategies are widely used not merely to inform, but to entertain, emotionally charge, and shape group-based political identities. The study calls for a balanced integration of cultural authenticity and civic education in campaign performances to enhance democratic engagement and national cohesion.
