Abstract:
The objective of this study is to find answers to evaluate reactions of the audience to the Nigerian television drama series in Nigeria, giving attention to how the programmes are making waves and the extent to which the audience has invested their knowledge, time and interest in them. Seismology is the study of effects or waves created by a dramatic piece, the entire theatrical event or radio or television programme. This discourse assumes that the Nigerian television drama series may not be evoking the desired reactions from their audience. The problem of this study is the uncertainty surrou

Abstract:
Many scholars have written on the beginning and development of modern Nigerian drama. This paper is an attempt to do same, with reference to the views expressed, divergent as they are, by these scholars, on the beginning and development of Nigerian drama from its inception to the present. These views are matched so that the forms of modern Nigerian drama and the different generations of Nigerian playwrights are re-visited, for proper documentation and reference.

Abstract:
There is indeed a paucity of formalist criticism on contemporary Nigerian television dramas. Quite often, Nigerian television drama scholars, critics, and aficionados tend to focus so much attention on the exegesis of the contents of Nigerian television dramas without caring much about the aspect of the techniques through which meanings can be unlocked. Granted, as some have argued, that content is very central in art criticism, but equally important is the aspect of technique, for, in essence, the technique remains the sole vehicle for conveying meaning to the audience; as well as for giving

This paper examines the history and development of Nigerian Christian drama from its earliest time till date.

Besides, the paper shows the factors responsible for the emergence of independent Christian drama groups, and generally indicates a particular trend in terms of changes in the role of Christian drama at different phases of its development in Nigeria.

Abstract:
Purpose: Gender inequality has thrived in Nigeria for too long. Feminist scholars therefore feel that there is urgent need to change the status quo through feminist inputs and this led to the present persistent advocacy for women empowerment. Drama has been mostly deployed as a means of expressing this new trend of discourse. Thus, Nigerian writers, especially feminist dramatists, consciously reflect in their works the frightening realities of the prevailing socio- political and economic situations in the country, drawing the attention of the masses, especially the female gender to the inequal

Emotional abuse is a behavior that impairs a child's emotional development or sense of self-esteem. It may include threats, constant criticism as well as withholding love, support or guidance. Child prostitution is not only a cause of death and high morbidity of millions of children, but a gross violation of their rights. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the perception and exposure of the residents of Abuja Municipal Area Council, on Nigerian Television Authority Drama Programmes on Child Abuse.

Abstract:
Of all human identity categories such as race, religion, culture, class and gender that a person might belong to, race and gender are arguably two of the most contentious in the world. This study takes gender as its main focus, exploring how gender, gender oppression, patriarchy and resistance are negotiated in selected dramatic literary works emanating from Africa’s two literary giants, Nigeria and South Africa. It thus aims to bring two distinct literary traditions into dialogue with one another in order to clarify our understanding of how gender is articulated and inscribed across different

This research is situated within the practice-led method, enabling me as a playwright to gain stimulus for creating trauma informed plays. The framework for creating such plays in this research is the centre-periphery concept (Ashcroft, Griffiths and Tiffin, 2013, 43) situated with the imagined nation as backdrops for understanding postcolonial trauma. In order to gain stimulus for playwriting in this research, I explored Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman to understanding postcolonial trauma in my part of Africa, being Nigeria.

M. Tech. Drama<br>The issue of retention of membership in many Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria has been a matter of grave concern to both the Church hierarchy and the Christian community. The need to discover new ways of doing Church in order to retain members therefore cannot be over emphasised. Creativity in the way Church services are conducted is therefore essential. The use of theatrical and dramatic embellishments in the teaching of the stories of the Bible is expected to bring about sustainable growth in and, perhaps, enthusiasm for Christian worship. Therefore, it is imperative that en

Early writers from this country, influenced by their modernist education, misrepresented Ogun by presenting only his so-called negative attributes. Contemporary writers are reconceptualising him; it is the task of this thesis to demonstrate how they are doing so from a decolonial perspective. These alleged attributes represent Ogun as a wicked, bloodthirsty, arrogant and hot tempered god who only kills and makes no positive con
