This study was carried out to determine the use of Nigerian films for sustainability of royalty culture of Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria. Mixed research methods of content analysis and interviews were employed, with simple random sampling technique used to select thirty (30) different films which were content analysed within framing theory. Nollywood films have been used to project and preserve Igbo royalty culture in particular and the Nigerian cultures in general through representation of symbols, royal characters and lifestyles. The study shows that representation of Igbo royalty culture in thefilms in all ramifications is largely accurate and realistic except for some cases that depict gross exaggeration of opulence,flamboyance and unrealistic display of wealth as well as depictions of Igbo royalty with foreign, borrowed and mixture of other cultures, predominantly in relation to their attires. The impact of globalization and culture transfer were noted. The study recommends that Nollywood film producers should employ diverse research methods and consult widely to ensure that their offerings can effectively sustain the cultures against being eroded and extinction

A quarter of a century after the establishment of a regulatory authority for broadcasting in Nigeria, the nation is yet to experience full-scale professional excellence in the gathering, production and transmission of broadcast content. Amateurish reportage and dissemination of stale information, poor signals and hazy pictures as well as general disregard for broadcast rules, laws and ethics are still discernible. Are these deficiencies the handiwork of illegal broadcast stations or the result of poor supervision of legally licensed stations? To react to these posers, this paper undertakes a critical examination of the provisions of the National Broadcasting Commission Act No 38 of 1992 as amended and finds certain inherent defects in the enabling law for the regulation of broadcasting in the country. With the tenets of the Authoritarian Media Theory in mind, the paper opines that except such defects are redressed where they are found to exist, accruable public interest gains from broadcast regulation may never endure in Nigeria

Cultural imperialism is the bane of African culture. This work critically reviews television broadcasting in Nigeria and its role in the dissemination of Western culture. The study is anchored on Cultural Imperialism theory and it acknowledges television as a powerful medium. The paper observes that the activities of television channels in Nigeria are influenced by Western culture through programming, it showcases showcasing Western cultural practices such as dressing, eating, language and other materialistic tendencies. It is also observed that television stations in Nigeria promote indigenous cultural practices though programmes and other offerings. It is therefore recommended that all stakeholders, including government agencies, should work towards reversing the trend of overwhelming Western dominance by creating a healthy environment for the cultures to interact positively with each other.
