Abstract
ABSTRACT This article analyzes representations of the value of university education, as depicted in selected Nollywood films and television serials. I analyze Tunde Kelani’s film The Campus Queen in conversation with Funke Akindele’s television serial Jenifa’s Diary, drawing out in each of them the commentaries on higher education and its uses as well as limitations. In The Campus Queen, such moments of critique are realized through instruction-driven classroom scenes, while in Jenifa’s Diary this happens through Jenifa’s adaptation of the salon as a pedagogical space. The article also shows the lines of continuity between this representation of education and the earlier Yorùbá traveling theater's didactic intentions.
