“…The scholars submit that Nollywood is a cultural output that celebrates Nigeria's diverse cultural history. Nollywood is consistently and fascinatingly remapping the culture and entertainment landscape in Nigeria, other African nations, and beyond (Tsaaior, 2018). Meanwhile, through early Nollywood films, Oti (2019) confirmed the youth as representatives of social formation in a collection of Paul Ugor's series of debates.…”

Nollywood is considered the site of popular culture and harbinger of cultural renaissance, especially amongst young adults confronted daily with the remote acculturation that foreign films offer. While many stakeholders believe that Nollywood, the second most prolific film industry, dispenses cultural knowledge and memory across borders, Nigerian tertiary students are suspected of preferring Western flicks or vacillating between foreign and local films. Consequently, this study was conceived to ascertain if Nigerian students perceive Nollywood as a cultural industry and Nigeria’s cultural ambassador. A 5-point Likert Scale of a 13-item questionnaire was administered to 283 Lagos State University of Science and Technology mass communication students. The descriptive, t-test, and ANOVA findings revealed that the students in this study consider Nollywood a cultural industry. Still, their perception showed that Nollywood’s performance is weak regarding cultural representations. Therefore, the study recommends that Nollywood films portray endogenous and authentic cultural values. However, the research suggested a further study involving more students across Nigeria, with mixed methods and advanced analyses.

The 2019 Oscar winner, Parasite attracted millions to South Korean cinemas even before its success in Hollywood. Nigerian cinema is also growing, with local movies topping the theatrical box office and new cinemas being built. Meanwhile, in South Africa, feature film production and cinema attendance are declining without significant transformation of access to the means of film production or to distribution and exhibition. Practical propositions, including the implementation of quotas and taxes, are presented as remedies for the survival of South African cinema, particularly in relation to content creation and the expansion of the exhibition infrastructure.
