Performance and effort expectancies in the use of institutional repositories among postgraduate students in Southwest Nigeria
(ALIS, 2022) Babalola, Oluwaseun O.; Adeyeye Sophia
Through a correlational survey of 313 postgraduate students from two universities in Southwest Nigeria, it was found that the use of institutional repository among the respondents is high. It was also found that performance expectancy (ß= 0.283, t= 3.904, p< 0.05) is a significant predictor of institutional repository use while effort expectancy (ß= 0.172, t= 2.310, p> 0.05) is not a significant predictor of the use of institutional repository among the respondents. We conclude that the repository content and awareness about the repository are crucial to the adoption and use of such systems.
Reading Nigerian Hip Hop Music through Nollywood Films: An Examination of The Wedding Party
(International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS), 2022-09) Adedeji, Wale; Afe, Adegoke
The symbiotic relationship between motion picture and music cannot be over-emphasised as both stands as an important aspect of the expressive art form. Movies represents and mirrors the society while music communicates emotions, complements the storyline and expresses the characters’ inner feelings. This study explores the interrelationship between popular music and Nollywood by investigating the occurrence and implication of hip hop music in the movie the Wedding Party. Through in-depth content analysis of the data (movie) a larger occurrence of hip hop music was isolated and classified which indicated the popularity of the genre and its acceptance amongst all age grades. The research also validates the argument that hip hop music and its associated culture is becoming the toast and major feature of the mainstream wedding ceremonies in Nigeria today
Documenting Nigeria’s Hip hop Music Evolution in Nollywood: an Examination of Tunde Kelani’s Campus Queen
(American Journal of Interdisciplinary Research and Innovation (AJIRI), 2022-08-30) Adedeji, Wale
It has been established that the Nigerian music industry has grown tremendously in recent times through the popularity and dynamism of the Hip hop genre, which has positioned itself as the mainstream music presently. Likewise the Nigerian film industry now referred to as Nollywood is credited as the fastest growing film industry and rated the third largest film industry in the world after Hollywood and India’s Bollywood and currently accounts for an estimated N 853.9 billion ($7.2 billion) or 1.42 percent of Nigeria’s GDP. This paper establishes the interface between popular music culture (hip hop) and Nollywood through the notion of documentation with a highlight of how Hip hop music is being documented in Nollywood formative years either consciously or un-consciously. The paper adopts a qualitative research method with an in-depth analysis of music in the movie-Campus Queen. The research concluded that a piece of recorded music can be considered a document while the existence of Hip hop music in Campus Queen attested to the fact, thus making Nollywood a veritable source to assess and analyse popular music genre.
Digitalization and New Trends in the Nigerian Music Industry: The Social Media Angle
(International Journal of Recent Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (IJRRSSH), 2023-08-08) Adedeji, Wale
It is evident that the evolution of digital technology has created an apparent and drastic shift in the way the music industry operates. Social media as an important tool in music digitalisation is also bringing further transformation to the way artistes, producers and other music industry stakeholders conduct their business. Adopting the qualitative research method with digital ethnography and consultation of relevant literatures, this study examines the Nigerian music industry and the popular music scene through the current Afrobeats sub-genre against the backdrop of social media deployment. The paper argues that the social media has contributed positively towards the popularity of Afrobeats and the Nigerian music industry, and through social media new trends and novel way of music production, promotions and dissemination is being witnessed in the Nigerian popular music scene.
Copyright policy and the Nigerian music industry in the era of digitalisation
(Journal of Legal Anthropology, 2023) Adedeji, Wale
The booming Nigerian music industry is having a tremendous impact on the global music scene, but at the local level it is beset by dif- ficulties brought about by copyright enforcement. The very vibrancy of this industry is attested through numerous kinds of sonic outputs amidst the ongoing process of digitalisation, especially as evidenced by the cur- rent mainstream youth-driven hip-hop hybrid music genre known as ‘Afrobeats’. However, insufficient attention has been given by scholars to the availability, or lack, of spaces for independent and/or emerging art- ists to create songs outside the tight control of copyright and intellectual property laws. This is especially true for musicians who produce ‘digital mixes’. One issue that comes up rather often in reference to the production and consumption of music in this heavily regulated internet-era context is piracy, which, though ethically problematic, has nevertheless persisted in the absence of meaningful ways to allow independent and emerging artists the freedom to ply their trade.
