CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

One of the most paramount function of Nollywood movies in the society is to entertain as well as to educate. It is because of this salient regard that some of the key concepts of this work are examined and scrutinize it with a view to determine the effect of Nollywood movies have on students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, exceptionally, for the purpose of lucidity and better understanding, according to a documentary on Nollywood, “Nollywood is the name attributed to Nigerian movies industry. It’s Nigerian movies industry by Nigeria production teams for the Nigerian people. However, the focus of this dependable and systematical research work is on the effect of Nollywood movies on students of tertiary institution in Nigeria which is tremendously the work of twenty first centuries because of the advancement of technology in making use of digital instruments in movie industry. Today Nigerian Nollywood movies have dominated the lives of students in general in the country. These advancements of technology have brought along changes and adoption of styles of living by Nigerian students especially those in the tertiary institutions.

Although we have some cultural believes, it is obvious that the advent of technology has really impacted societal norms and values.

Hence, the truth remains that the society is misplacing its values, cultural heritages and at center of all students in tertiary institutions who are leaders of tomorrow, better Nigerian students of our great nation Nollywood movies are being celebrated by those students which most of them have formed the habits of watching, viewing every Nollywood movies released into the market by movies industries.

These movies produced by Nollywood have in all ramification failed to uphold discipline and morality in our higher institutions of learning. What is being displayed in Nollywood movies are cases of ferocious acts, kidnapping, prostitution,libidinous activities, money laundering, infidelity cases, cultism, sexual harassments, indecent dressing, tribalism, prejudice, Nepotism, gossips, slanders and total act of defamation all in the name of entertainment which is very much perilous to our children at home including our leaders of tomorrow,the students of tertiary institution. Success through dubious means and lack of respect for parents. As a mirror of the society, obviously the movies have been labeled to send obnoxious and erroneous messages to the minds of students of tertiary institutions. It  has misplaced the universal standard of how an average students ought to go about his or her carrier pursuits.

Tertiary institutions, in other cords, have made cultism, armed robbery, kidnapping, prostitution, violence and indicent dressing amongst the students to be rampant instead to be in curbing side of it.

Meanwhile these movies are expected to bring storyline that could promote our cultural heritages and good values since they are produced by our indigenoeus film industries that knows how the people dislike violence and immorality rather they are on the contrary. Some  Nollywood movies values and introduces prostitution as the only way out for the female students whose situation could not pay their school fees, as if prostitution is the solution and answer to the poverty as copied from the movies called “white Hunters” in this movie, they failed to show our students that are in financial quagmire or predicament that the normal thing to do is to develop appetite for menial jobs.

The movies’ “the kidnappers” showcased out social vices and atrocious behaviour, the veracity remains that the effect of such movies on students of tertiary institutions  has very egregious effect. Now umpteen of our students believes that getting on top is the apex of making money and the easiest way to make money is by dubious means. Some movies introduces indicent dressing, this has amplified the chilly trend to some female students walks around the campus half naked in the name of making fashions campaign. Female students have borrowed lessons from our felame students by engaging in this dilapidating trend. Our male students today likes putting on what we know as sagging. Our female and male students works around the town, school environments and places half naked in the name of fashions, it is because of the negative teaching of Nollywood movies such movies creates conflict of reasoning. Most times changes ideas and orientation thereby causing violence in our institution. Nowadays, our institutions are dumping ground of mediocre. There you will find prostitutes, armed robbers, kidnappers, cultist, homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, etc. worse still is that Nollywood movies have made it possible many of our students have lost the complete appetite for reading because of the sleepless night they have devoted in viewing the preposterous pictures. Nollywood movies sometimes promotes materialistic behaviours and ill-findings get way into our campuses and that promotes hard work, respect meekness and morality. That is to say that Nollywood movies producers gives our local  actors and actress. Now I believe we cannot afford to allow these great leaders of tomorrow to continue watching ferocious movies that negatively affect them in all conditions of life.

Therefore the essence of this research work is very paramount because whether it should be given a thought or not, we all know that our students most especially those in tertiary institutions are being negatively affected by Nollywood movies with its scandalous ways of life, obviously opposed by our cultural heritages and societal norms and values. Hence, what touches a finger must spread to the hand. This means that the hideous behavious being exhibited by Nigerians students in tertiary institution as a result of watching Nollywood movies should be eradicated and film makers and producers should confiscate storyline that will impact erronous attitudes, on our students and people in general.

Statement of the Research Problem

Nollywood movies umpteen times disseminate erroneous information to students of tertiary institution hereby causing anormally in campus most of the movies have totally deviated from the initial objectives of which Nollywood as a industry was established.

Most of these movies are rated of general viewing and indicating that some are morally unhealthy for our children and our students, but the producers have automatically failed intoto to ask themselves these questions. What effect would these movies make in the lives of our students? These movies do they promote morality especially in pursuit of excellent moral standard in Nigerian tertiary institution? If the producers had valued, those questions as the most significant things in entertainment or movie, industry unequivocally there must be promotions of morals and culture in Nigeria Nollywood industry.

Significance of the Study

I vehemently hope that this research work findings, suggestions and recommendations will change our students ideology to Nollywood for the better at least they should have phobia to some extents.
