It is surprising therefore that station like Anambra Broadcasting
Service (ABS). Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS) and Broadcasting
Corporation of Abia State
(BCA) have continued to package local and foreign programmes for the viewership of the target audience.
Interestingly
too, most of these foreign television programmes are specifically
packaged and transmitted for the viewership of Nigerian students. This
implies that there is something about education which such foreign
television programmes intend to impact on the psyche of the Nigerian
student, it is assumed there must be a corollary between such foreign
programmes and the social behaviours of the students.
These foreign
films are specifically aired to impact some measures of social tenets on
the behaviours of the students. They are not transmitted for the
purpose of transmission but to influence the social behaviour of these
students. The problem therefore, is whether students actually expose
themselves to the viewership of such programmes and if they do, is the
exposure minimal or maximal and to what extent such foreign television
programs impact on their social behaviours. 4
1.2 Statement of the problem
There
is no doubt that foreign film such as „‟Second Chance‟‟ has offered a
lot of meaning and purpose to the social lives of Nigerian students.
Some students see them as a way to shake up and release tensions. Some
others value their entertainment functions and some see them as away to
keep in touch with the so called latest fashion trend.
Whichever way
the youths perceive foreign films is an indication of their bias
against local movies. Such bias is an indication of their disorientation
to cultural orientation and values. It is generally assumed in many
quarters that there are gross violations of moral issues in most of
these foreign films.
The question this research seeks to answer
therefore is: what is the influence of „‟ Second Chance‟‟ a popularly
broadcast foreign film on the social behaviour of the undergraduate
students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka.
