Juguler l'instabilité en Construisant une Personnalité Nigériane Grâce à la Traduction des Films


Olivia Ezeafulukwe

Abstract

That Nigeria is unstable is no longer a secret. That its instability is connected to Nigerian citizens who feel no belonging to the Nigerian entity is not to be disputed. Seeing a stable new Nigeria, with which one can identify, remains the desire of many Nigerians. By discussing the Nigerian personality, this article has been able to examine the major causes of instability in the country. Watching videos being a major means of relaxation in Nigeria, this article postulates the translation of movies as a real tool to reconstruct the Nigerian personality towards one who would feel Nigerian and therefore experience the desire to see a Nigeria that works. The scopos theory served as a theoretical framework for this research. It was discovered that translating movies can help Nigerians to understand and see themselves as Nigerian and therefore stop instability.
