Abstract

The spread of fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, as in many other countries, had significant effects, exacerbating the challenges faced by public health authorities, governments, and citizens. In Nigerian context, social media is a means of keeping up with occurrences all over the globe and is used to shed light as regards the Nigerian situation, the ability to sieve authentic information from an avalanche of half-truths and false information available on social media networks is a challenge in Nigeria. In Nigeria, tackling this issue effectively during the pandemic was critical to improving public health outcomes and societal trust. The paper argues that social media has become an essential part of human life as it allows remote creation of contents for the purpose of entertainment and dissemination of information, making information sharing easier and faster in Nigeria and the world at large. The paper concludes that addressing fake news requires a combination of education, regulation, and collaboration between governments, civil society, and media organizations. Thus, the outbreak of Covid-19 in Nigeria spurred a digitalized reaction with citizen surfing about Covid-19 content to gather information about the virus. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter, appeared to be among the prominent platforms consulted by Nigerians to create awareness on Covid-19 in the country.

Abstract

This study examined the portrayal of gender roles in selected Nollywood movies. The study objectives were to; analyze the depiction of women in domestic/familial roles compared to men in Nollywood movies. The study employed both the cultivation theory and gender schema theory to serve as theoretical frameworks for this research. The research design employed in this study is the content analytical design which specifically involves systematic examination of communications to objectively describe and quantify phenomena and the population of the study were the Nollywood movies produced between 2012 and 2020. Iya Alalake (2012), Oloture (2018), Isoken (2017) and The Wedding Party (2016) were selected for the analysis because these movies characteristics represent cultural representation, critical acclaim and exploration of gender themes. The findings reveal that the study on gender portrayal in four Nigerian films can be compared and contrasted with previous studies that have analyzed Nigerian film and other cultural contexts. This confirms that the films are reiterating certain patriarchal expectations while advocating for renewal. In addition, previous content analyzes of African films have emphasized their use of narratives and multiple layers to effectively construct gendered narratives. This study reflects this and sees how films like Isoken and Aya Alalake show many inspiring women who defy the odds through education and participation without killing. The study recommends that there should be an increase the funding and distribution of films with outstanding women and relationships that are stronger than the characters. Also, provide literacy instruction to help audiences interpret social situations and think from new perspectives.

Abstract

The evolution of media consumption in Nigeria reflects the country’s dynamic cultural, technological, and economic landscape. Internet surfing and television viewing have become significant aspects of everyday life, influencing education, entertainment, communication, and socio-economic development. This appraisal explores trends, impacts, and challenges while offering recommendations for optimizing media consumption in Nigeria. An appraisal of internet surfing and television viewing in Nigeria reveals both opportunities and challenges. While these platforms have transformed education, communication, and entertainment, they also pose risks that require careful management. By addressing the digital divide, fostering local content, and promoting media literacy, Nigeria can harness the benefits of modern media while mitigating its drawbacks. The paper argues that the Internet has become a basic tool for trading, entertainment, and communication, as well as education, in the contemporary world. Nevertheless, despite its positive uses, the presence of additive behaviours among some Internet users has drawn the attention of the public and helping professionals. The paper concludes that the interplay between internet surfing and television viewing in Nigeria is shaping the cultural and economic fabric of the nation. While these media provide opportunities for growth, education, and connectivity, their unregulated use presents risks, especially to younger audiences. A collective effort from stakeholders, including the government, media industry, educators, and families can help harness the potential of these platforms while mitigating their challenges.

Abstract

The regime of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), Nigeria’s military ruler from 1985 to 1993, was marked by a sophisticated strategy of political manipulation designed to consolidate power, maintain elite loyalty, and control public perception. This study examines how Babangida’s government deployed propaganda, patronage networks, and psychological tactics to shape political allegiances and suppress dissent. By leveraging state-controlled media, co-opting influential elites, and fostering a culture of political uncertainty, the regime engineered a system where loyalty was rewarded while opposition was systematically neutralized. Through an analysis of government policies, media narratives, and elite interactions during this period, the paper highlights how Babangida’s administration blurred the lines between governance and manipulation. The institutionalization of prebendalism, coupled with calculated misinformation campaigns, allowed the regime to maintain a façade of democracy while orchestrating one of Nigeria’s most prolonged transitions to civilian rule. Additionally, the annulment of the 1993 presidential election, widely regarded as free and fair, underscored the regime’s ultimate reliance on deception and control to maintain its grip on power. This paper contributes to the broader discourse on authoritarian governance in postcolonial Africa by illustrating how Babangida’s rule set a precedent for political maneuvering that continues to shape Nigeria’s democratic trajectory. It also underscores the enduring impact of elite manipulation on political institutions and public trust in governance.
