Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Kannywood, the Hausa-language film industry, has gained significant popularity across Nigeria, particularly in the northern regions. Films produced in Kannywood often depict various aspects of Hausa culture, including traditional marriage ceremonies, which are central to the social fabric of northern Nigerian communities. However, the portrayal of these ceremonies in films may not always align with the traditional practices, potentially altering public perceptions and behaviors (Mohammed & Suleiman, 2023).
In Kura Local Government Area of Kano State, traditional marriage ceremonies are deeply rooted in cultural practices. This study seeks to explore the impact of Kannywood films on the public’s perception of these ceremonies, particularly focusing on whether they influence how these traditions are viewed by younger generations.
