The objective of this study is to find answers to evaluate reactions of the audience to the Nigerian television drama series in Nigeria, giving attention to how the programmes are making waves and the extent to which the audience has invested their knowledge, time and interest in them. Seismology is the study of effects or waves created by a dramatic piece, the entire theatrical event or radio or television programme.  This discourse assumes that the Nigerian television drama series may not be evoking the desired reactions from their audience. The problem of this study is the uncertainty surrounding the impact or waves made by the Nigerian television drama series on their audience. To achieve the objectives of this study adopted quantitative and qualitative research methods to elicit audience reaction. The study employed the survey method using questionnaire and online interview designs to elicit responses on audience responses to Nigerian television drama series. Findings revealed that more than 80% of Nigerians watch at least one or more Nigerian television drama series out of interest. Audience reactions to the programmes are in form their expressions of knowledge about the drama series in terms of best actors, producers and television drama series in Nigeria. The audience also reacted that the Nigerian television drama series is more entertaining than educational and informational, even though some combine all those qualities. The audience also agreed that the Nigerian television drama series reflect life in Nigeria by promoting good morals and criticizing anti-social behaviours like raping, drug abuse and kidnaping. The paper recommends multinational companies' continuous sponsorship of television drama series that is targeted at making the Nigerian society a better place.

According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), "we are now witnessing the highest levels of displacement on record" with an unprecedented 68.5 million people forced from home globally (United Nations High Commission on Refugees, 2018). Among those affected are the Bakassi people in the Cross River State of Nigeria, who were forced to abandon their ancestral home due to the World Court's judgment of 10 October 2002 and Greentree Agreement of 12 June 2006 that ceded their oil and natural gas-rich peninsula to Cameroon. This paper aimed at communicating the challenges faced by these people who now live as refugees in their own country as well as assessing the public relations implications of their geographical displacement, social dislocation, and economic dispossession. The study employed the survey method and used the questionnaire to obtain data from 200 internally-displaced persons of Bakassi; as well as unstructured interview to gather additional information from five Government officials and five Bakassi elites who were involved in resettling these people. Egon's refugee theory (Kunz, 1981) Peter's social integration theory (Blau, 1960) and James Grunig's two-way symmetrical model of public relations (1984) formed the theoretical framework of the study. Data obtained were presented quantitatively, and analysed descriptively. Based on the conclusion that there is a noticeable Public Relations slack in the relationship between Government and the Bakassi IDPs, it was recommended that adequate efforts should be made to fill the observed gaps.
