Item The Framing of Political Messages in Ayinla Omowura’s Song-Texts(Journal of Communication and Language Arts, 2016-01-01) Egbokhare, Olayinka; Fadipe, Israel AyinlaStudies on African popular music have revealed that African musicians engage in political discourse which they deploy to reconstruct nationhood. There is no doubt that popular indigenous musical genres, especially those that were prominent at one time in the past, have been given insufficient attention in research studies by African scholars. Many of these studies have been driven especially by social responsibility theory, hegemony and counter-hegemonic theories and so on. However, this study using framing theory and textual analysis approach, examined the political themes described in Ayinla Omowura’s song texts of Orin owo'le Eko (Lagos Rent Edit), Ire wole de (Udoji Salary Increase), National Census, Eyin Oselu wa (Our Politicians), Challenge Cup and Late Murtala Mohammed. Findings reveal that Lagos rent edict, Udoji salary increment report, 1973 national census, politicians' attitudes to elections, new currency introduction and 1972 change in the driving system are the dominant political events in the songs. Moreover, the social realities described include militarism, insufficient basic amenities, unemployment, policy implementation, hooliganism and electoral violence, rule of law, political class wrangling, among others. In addition, government and political leaders were mostly portrayed as benefactors, while masses were sometimes counselled, or mildly reprimanded by the musician. In conclusion, though the events described in the selected songs happened in the 1970's in Nigeria, these themes still feature in the country's socio-political realities and are germane to political discourses in the twenty-first century Nigeria.Item Influence of African Indigenous language media in COVID-19 digital health messaging(Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies, 2021-07-15) Israel Ayinla, Fadipe; Abiodun, SalawuCOVID-19 pandemic era has further energized humans to consider their health more than before, especially in the digital age when they experience a deluge of health information. This study, therefore, examined COVID-19 digital sources, health message types and how the use of African Indigenous language media enhanced people’s utilization of coronavirus health messages. Using an online questionnaire and in-depth interview data collection methods, respondents received preventive COVID-19 health messages on social distancing and personal hygiene from mostly interactive digital sources, which hardly infused African Indigenous language media in the health message. However, African Indigenous languages motivated respondents to utilize COVID-19 messages, though people still spread COVID-19 fake news through Indigenous media. Nonetheless, inte grating African Indigenous language media into digital health communication can confer credibility on information sources. Still, there is a need to fight the use of digital media to spread fake news.Item BBC Sex-for-Grades-Report: Nigeria Tertiary Institutions ‘Crisis Management Strategies and Stakeholders’ Reactions(The Journal of Society and Media, 2020-04-25) Israel Ayinla, FadipeStudies have already acknowledged sexual scandals as public relations nightmares of higher institutions of learning. Therefore, we examined the crisis management strategies of Nigerian tertiary institutions and stakeholders’ reactions after the British Broadcasting Corporation’s sex-for-grades report. Adopting qualitative research, we analysed 13 available press releases of institutions retrieved from some institutions’ websites and sampled opinions of 20 stakeholders comprising parents, students and lecturers through a depth interview. We used Coombs’ theory of crisis response strategies: denial, diminish, rebuild and bolstering as thematic categories. We discovered that the institutions mostly used denial with diminish response strategy to blame societal decadence, scapegoat female students for and downplayed the severity of sexual harassment incidence by the institutions. More so, all the stakeholders distrust the credibility of local media in the reportage of sexual harassment cases. However, female students feel aggrieved that school administrations and national government neglected them for failing to outlaw sexual harassment and severely punish offenders. Therefore, we recommend that considering stakeholders’ perception of sexual harassment incidence in Nigerian ivory tower, Nigerian higher educational institutions should not adopt denial response strategy for sex scandal cases.Item Reportage of the 2012 Gubernatorial Election in Ondo State, Nigeria: A Conflict Sensitive or Conflict Inclucing Press?(Journal of Media Practice and Research, 2015) Popoola, MuyiwaThis study investigated how selected Nigerian newspapers reported the issues of conflict in respect of the 2012 governorship election in Ondo state NigeriaItem Socially - Responsible or Calumnious Campaign in the press: Perpective on the coverage of the coverage of the 2013 governorship elctioneer campaigns in anambra state nigeria(Benin Mediacom Journal, 2016-01-10) Popoola, Muyiwa; Wasiu, OlatubosunIt is a globally endorsed paradigm that the press as an important instituition in the democratic process play key role during election .Item CONTENT AND HERMENEUTICAL ANALYSIS OF SELECTED NEWSPAPERS REPORTAGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN NIGERIAL(Silpakorn University Journal of Social Sciences., 2014) Popoola, MuyiwaThere has been growing concern about the environment and the need to engage sustainable environmental behavior in Nigeria .Item TELEVISION PROGRAMMING FOR DEVELOPMENT A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF SUNRISE A DEVELOPMENTAL MAGAZINE PROGRAMME OF CHANNELS TELEVISION ON THE AUDIENCE(Journal of Communication, Media and Society, 2011) Popoola, MuyiwaThis research projects was carried out to evaluate the level of impact or marked influence of sunrise o development magazine programme of channel television , Lagos on viewers.Item NEWSPAPER REPORTAGE OF PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO AND VICE PRESIDENT ATIKU ABUBAKAR POLITICO PERSONAL CONFLICT IN NIGERIA(Journal of media sociology, 2011) Popoola, Muyiwapolitico - personal conflict has been a recurrent problem of Nigerian politics since first republic.
