CHAPTER ONE

1.1   INTRODUCTION

The creation of every society depends on human presence, which means that without human presence there will be no society of any form. The human therefore exists and depend on the community.

Communication started in oral and verbal form which later developed into human ability to present ideas by drawing on stones, cafes and later changed to reading and writing form of it.

The ability to read and write is a significance development in the evaluation of mankind, this is because, and it makes easy storage and preservation of norms, value and simultaneously adding to the rate of intellectualism in the society.

No society can live or stand in unity, peace and with an “abiding faith” in its progress without people receiving positive and affirmative information about themselves and the leaders.

The Nigeria press emerged from the nation earlier for years into representative democracy really bodied and battered. For example in the first Republic of Nigeria, the Prime Minister, Tafawa Balewa’s party NPC – NCNC coalition government assumed leadership on the October 1st 1960 when Nigeria became independent.

The Nigeria political history has been subjected to various reforms to witnessed tremendous changes over the years and can not be adequately discussed without the unique contributions of the media aimed in establishing a favourable atmosphere for a good government to operate their programmes and politics and making the government accountable to the people and thereby contributing to the crusade for good governance beneficial to the yarning and aspirations of the society.

The Nigeria media has witnessed a tremendous revolution from an ordinary information organ for self governance to a formidable social-political force and take its rightful position in the struggle for self-survival, self-actualization and an independent egalitarian social institution. For “a society without a lively responsiveness to the facts of public life and a concern for the welfare of the community, will collapse and be ruled by an anarchy”. Without continued determination, self-recognition, and professional steadfastness, the Nigeria media has plan a niche for itself as the only search light for a good governance and long lasting democracy in the turbulent Nigeria political terrain.

1.2   STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS

The main purpose of this research topic “The roles of the mass media in Nigeria politics” is to highlight the work of the media within the context of Nigeria political revolutions. The study which intends to talk about the Nigeria people, will also present us the geographical spread, tribes, customs and traditions and the diverse social cultural settings of the people.

The contributions of the media in harmonizing these Herculean trends in pre-independent, independence and post-independence of Nigeria periods would be critically examined and extensively narrated. The study would also explain the impact of the media toward the political development of the country and identify the constraints, tribulations, ordeals facing the media as a social institution in performing its certain functions of an inevitable channels or stations for political consciousness.

1.5   SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The significance of the study cannot be over emphasized, because, Nigeria is the most populous black in the whole of African nations and it is recognized as the giant of Africa.

Considering the large human and natural resources, the political transformation and revolutions witnessed by the country from the pre-colonial era up till date is one of the major hallmarks as a nation. It is also worthy to note the ever increasing political awareness and enlighten campaigns played majorly by the media. The study is rested in examining and evaluating the functions, roles and responsibilities of the media in the political development of the country in order to place the mass media in appropriate position of the forth estate of power, and taking after the executive legislature and judiciary.

Furthermore, the roles of the media is said to be the “watchdog of the society” in relation to their status of the omnipotence universal character since the media serves as social tools for political restrictions.

As turbulent and storming as the Nigeria political situations over the years now, the contributions of the mass media towards achieving an egalitarian society for the country through good governance can not be ignored.

In addition, readers, researcher, students and learners would find this academic effort informative, educative, analytical and indicatively, entertaining in the course of their individual and collective endeavours most especially, while trying to identify and appreciate the institutional responsibilities of the mass media within the context of Nigeria political history.

The scope of the study covers the historical background of media activities in Nigeria politics landscape with specific emphasis selected in the past and present public and private owned media houses, radio and television stations as well as notable news magazines.
