There are various security challenges facing societies around the world. Kidnapping is one challenge that undermines peace and stability in the globe. Kidnapping leads to death of victims, bodily harm, loss of properties and worsening economic conditions. To tackle kidnapping, social security is one valuable measure put in place. However, social security is bedeviled with challenges like corruption, mismanagement, lack of political will, ethnicity, bad policy and programmes. Therefore, this paper addresses the challenges of social security and kidnapping in South-West, Nigeria. The study intends to fill the gap created by shortage of scholarly materials to explore challenges of social security and kidnapping in South-West Nigeria. The data were obtained secondarily through the content analysis of peer reviewed journals, edited textbooks, and credible online resources. It anchors on social control theory by Travis Hirsch. Findings revealed that corruption, lack of political will, ethnicity, religiosity and other challenges are working against social security drives to combat kidnapping in Nigeria. The paper recommends effective youth empowerment schemes to bring to the shore the potentials among the youths. This paper will be useful by improving knowledge on the social security and kidnapping, improve the extant literature on social security and kidnapping, the policy-makers, employment of labour, organized private sectors and researchers in the field of social and management sciences will find it beneficial.

“…The outcome of this development was the birth and proliferation of feminist movements and scholars drawn from across academia, civil society, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to champion and advocate for the recognition of women's role in development against the backdrop that women have been sidelined hitherto (Omotola, 2007). This has been made more complex with the emergence of technology that has reduced the world into a Global village (Okeke & Iloh, 2020;Chukwuere, 2020). The core of this advocacy is that there is an unnecessary prejudice in men's and women's…”

This paper examines the discursive representation of power distribution between men (as husbands) and women (as wives) in Nollywood movies to unravel the ideological resource(s) against which such power is vested. Gender representation in Nollywood movies is imbued with ideologies that index differential power relations between men and women within the family circle. The bone of contention remains the distribution of power between men and women, with a tendency to always see women as victimized and sidelined social actors. Movie producers either sustain or subvert these ideological propensities. From this perspective, this paper examines the role of ideology in power distribution between men (as husbands) and women (as wives) within the marriage institution in an attempt to answer the following questions. What resource (s) is/are depicted as power resource(s) in Nollywood movies? Through what discursive means are these ideological propensities sustained or subverted in the two selected movies? As a follow-up to these questions, this paper hypothesized that wealth/money is ideologically tantamount to power within the family unit. Nollywood filmmakers use discursive linguistic and non-linguistic strategies to sustain this ideology. The analysis demonstrates that wealth is represented as a power resource, a representation that engenders unwarranted pursuit for wealth/money to wield power. The representation and understanding of women’s domestic roles, sex roles, and other related political roles as marginal rather than complementary have tended to create resistance resulting in miscommunication and unnecessary tensions.
