Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Nollywood, as one of the largest film industries globally, has a significant influence on Nigerian society. Its films often portray family dynamics, addressing themes such as love, conflict resolution, and generational gaps. These narratives shape audience perceptions and behaviors regarding family roles and responsibilities (Adamu & Ibrahim, 2023). In Ganjuwa Local Government Area, Bauchi State, where traditional family structures prevail, Nollywood movies provide a platform for reflecting on evolving family values. This interaction between media and culture necessitates an exploration of how films influence family relationships and societal norms (Garba, 2024).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While Nollywood movies have gained widespread popularity, concerns arise about their portrayal of family dynamics, which may sometimes conflict with cultural and religious values. In Ganjuwa, there is limited research on how these films impact family relationships, including communication patterns, conflict resolution, and role expectations. Understanding this influence is critical to addressing any potential negative effects while harnessing the positive aspects of Nollywood storytelling (Yusuf & Abubakar, 2023).
