1.1 Background of the Study
Consumer behavior, shaped by cultural, social, and psychological factors, determines purchasing decisions and market trends. Nollywood, as one of the world’s largest film industries, significantly influences Nigerian society by shaping perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors through its narratives (Obi & Adeola, 2023). In Kontagora Local Government Area, Niger State, Nollywood movies are widely consumed, often serving as both entertainment and a source of lifestyle inspiration. From showcasing fashion trends to promoting specific products, Nollywood films have the potential to impact consumer preferences and spending patterns (Okoro & Nwachukwu, 2024). This study examines how Nollywood movies influence consumer behavior in Kontagora, focusing on their role in shaping preferences and brand choices.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While Nollywood films are known to influence societal norms and values, their specific impact on consumer behavior in Kontagora remains unclear. Despite their widespread viewership, there is limited research on how product placement, character choices, and storylines drive consumer decisions (Eze & Aliyu, 2023). This study investigates the relationship between Nollywood movies and consumer behavior in the local context of Kontagora.
