Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Traditional leadership plays a significant role in the cultural and social governance of many Nigerian communities. Hausa films, deeply rooted in the traditions of Northern Nigeria, often portray traditional leaders as custodians of culture and mediators of societal issues. These representations influence public perceptions of leadership roles and values (Aliyu & Ahmed, 2023). In Faskari Local Government Area, Katsina State, where traditional systems still hold sway, Hausa films serve as a medium to reflect and sometimes critique leadership structures. This study investigates how traditional leadership is represented in Hausa films and its impact on viewers’ perceptions of governance and culture.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While traditional leadership is a recurrent theme in Hausa films, its portrayal often oscillates between idealization and criticism. The lack of comprehensive studies on how these depictions influence societal attitudes toward leadership in Faskari creates a gap in understanding the intersection of culture, media, and governance (Bello & Musa, 2024). This research aims to explore the nuances of traditional leadership representation in Hausa films and its implications.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To analyze the portrayal of traditional leadership in Hausa films.
- To assess the impact of these portrayals on community perceptions of leadership in Faskari.
