Abstract
This study explores the use of ritual as a tool for power and revenge in Nigerian films, focusing on Lakatabu. Nollywood, rooted in Nigeria’s cultural and spiritual realities, often portrays ritual as a means of negotiating authority and resolving conflict. Through analysis of the film’s plot and themes, the research examines how these representations mirror societal beliefs while raising ethical concerns about th filmmaker’s role. The study further highlights Nollywood’s continuity with Theatre Arts, showing how performance—on stage and screen—shapes cultural memory, morality, and identity
