CCUDD: Communication, Culture, Democracy & Development in Nigeria

Welcome! I created this blog to engage issues around communication and the media in Nigeria--which is my area of teaching and research specialty--especially as they relate to the intersecting issues of culture, democracy and development. My primary audience are students and scholars of communication and its intersection with culture, democracy and development. Here I publish my opinions about the Nigerian media, and occasionally report my research efforts and those of some of my graduate students. Occasionally, I will post the abstracts of their works--with their permission. I feature guest writers on this blog. The picture above is that of swanger dancers from among the Tiv people of Nigeria. Happy reading, and please leave your comments. --Ayobami Ojebode.
