ABSTRACT
The general objective of this study is to appraise the representation of the Nigerian Culture and our Historical events in the global map by the Nigeria film industry (Nollywood). Specifically, the research tried to find out how Nollywood projects the richness of our culture and traditions to the world and how consistent they are in portraying the historical events that makes us who we are as a people. Nollywood was chosen for this study because it resonates with the Cultural values and heritage of Nigerians and her leading role in the film industry in Africa. This study becomes necessary because Nigeria has suffered over the years, negative image representation in the comity of nations and over the erosion of indigenous cultures. To this end this research employs content analysis method and analysed the film's selected as case studies. This study therefore recommends more consistency in the portrayal of the rich Nigerian Cultural values rather than imitating the Western culture or leaning narrowly on the country's past negative cultural practices that have no place in the current Nigerian society anymore.
