Abstract

Often described as the decade of renaissance, the 1990s ushered in a floodgate of locally scripted, edited and produced movies into Nigerian homes, and jump-started the moribund fortunes of the industry as a commercially successful venture. So meteoric was its transmogrification that the industry became a strategic keystone in the Nigerian Government Millennium Development Goal. However, this conquest of both the local and international market came with a litany of public apprehensions and outrage primarily traceable to the violent and occult content of these productions. Film makers frantically struggled to outdo one another as those who fail to glamorize violence compensated for the shortfall by romanticizing mysticism. Hinged on the stimulation, social learning and cultivation analysis theories, the study, after analyzing the content of fifty Yoruba films produced in 2007, concluded that the product of the industry still contain a high dosage of violent and fetish content.
