INTRODUCTION
The impact of home video on the life of students in tertiary institution in Nigeria. The work of the twenty first centuries because of the advent of technology. Today it now dominates the life of man kinds. It has been upgrade to a level where all things happen without using energy as it was in the case of post centuries. This century had brought along changes and unstoppable materialization one of which is the adoption of style of living by the Africa continent and Nigeria most especially. Even as we have some ‘’ sit tight’’ cultural believe it is obvious that the advent of technology has really affected societal norms and values.
However the gospel truth remains that the society is misplacing its values cultural heritage and at the center of all our students in tertiary institution who are undoubtedly leaders of tomorrow whether they are possessions of quality personality or on the contrary. The Nigeria home videos are been celebrated by these students. Most of them had formed the undeniable habits of watching every
Home video released into the market hence there have been a mountain of criticisms being leveled on these home videos for their failure to promote morality in our higher institution of learning.
What is being showcased and obtain in home videos in nutshell are cases of violence prostitution, money laundering armed robbery and photography as could be extracted from this film ‘’THE SENATOR’’ the film propagate double standard, lack of honesty cultism, wrong societal value blackmail success through dubious means lack of respect for parents. As a mirror to the society, the film has been label to send a wrong message to the minds of students of higher institution. It misplaced the universal standard of how an average student ought to go about in his/ her sojourn in tertiary institution, making thieves armed robbers, cultists from our generation of students. Home video in Nigeria instead of bringing messages story lines that could promote our cultural heritage and good values have deviated in adding more problem instead of trying to solve them. Some films introduces prostitution as the only way out for a female students whose infirmity could not pay her school fees; as if prostitution is the answer to poverty. Thy failed to show some students that are in such situation that the normal thing to do may be through menial jobs and other sources.
The video ‘’The senator’’ brings out social vices and deviant behaviour in the truth of matter remains that the impacts such films is having on students of tertiary institution is of negative. Now some believe that getting to the top is by joining secret cults or becomes black mailers. Such videos create conflict of reasoning and most time changes ideas and orientation thereby causing violence in our higher institution.
Today, our institutions are dumping ground of mediocre. There you will find prostitutes armed robbers homosexuals, lesbians, cultists. Worse still is that home video promote the ills, finding its way into our campus and after scrutinizing every home videos one can hardly find one that promote hard work intelligence respect peace meekness development events, education or promote moral education that is to say the home videos producers/ makers gives our student foreign disguise through our local actors and actresses. our nervousness now is that the continual extent had adverse social and moral decadence in our campuses which we cannot risk and afford if our future should be guaranteed.
Therefore the essence of this study is very important because whether it should be given a thought or not. It is believed that our youth, most especially students in tertiary institution are being impacted with home video with unacceptable ways of life obviously opposed by our cultural heritage and societal norms and values. Hence what touches a finger must spread to the hand. This means that the ugly behaviors being exhibited by our students in higher institutions as a result of watching home videos will certainly effect Nigeria if not today surely we cannot escape it tomorrow.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
This research work tries to x- ray the impact home videos are having on students 9in higher institutions.
Home videos often time channel wrong information to these students thereby causing anomaly in campus. This films are deviating from acceptable success goals instead they impact social vices as success goals.

What impact will it be making in their lives ? is it necessary at all to watch home video ? Does it promote morality especially in pursuance of excellent moral standard in our tertiary institutions ?
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Impact Of Home Movie On The Life Students Of Tertiary Institution:
The impact of home movies on the lives of tertiary institution students can be both positive and negative, depending on how they are consumed and integrated into their daily routines. Here are some of the potential impacts:
Positive Impacts:
- Entertainment and Relaxation: Home movies provide students with a source of entertainment and relaxation. Tertiary education can be stressful, and movies offer a way to unwind and take a break from academic pressures.
- Social Connection: Watching movies can be a social activity, allowing students to bond with their peers. They can host movie nights or discuss their favorite films, which can strengthen friendships and create a sense of community.
- Cultural Exposure: Home movies often reflect different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Watching a variety of films can broaden students’ horizons, increase cultural awareness, and promote tolerance and understanding.
- Creative Inspiration: Some students in film or media-related programs may find inspiration in home movies. They can learn from different styles, storytelling techniques, and cinematography, which can enhance their creativity and skills.
- Stress Relief: Watching a good movie can be a form of stress relief. It can help students temporarily escape from their academic worries and provide a mental break.
Negative Impacts:
- Academic Distraction: Excessive consumption of home movies can become a distraction and hinder academic performance. Students may prioritize watching movies over studying or completing assignments.
- Sedentary Lifestyle: Spending long hours watching movies can contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, which can have adverse health effects, including weight gain and a lack of physical activity.
- Sleep Disruption: Late-night movie marathons can disrupt students’ sleep patterns, leading to sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep can negatively impact academic performance and overall well-being.
- Social Isolation: While movies can be a social activity, excessive viewing in isolation can lead to social withdrawal and a decrease in face-to-face interactions.
- Financial Implications: Going to the cinema or subscribing to multiple streaming services can be costly for students on a tight budget. Overspending on entertainment can strain their finances.
- Inappropriate Content: Not all home movies are suitable for all audiences. Students may inadvertently be exposed to content that is not age-appropriate or that conflicts with their values and beliefs.
In conclusion, home movies can have both positive and negative impacts on the lives of tertiary institution students. It’s important for students to strike a balance between entertainment and their academic responsibilities, as well as to make conscious choices about the content they consume to ensure it aligns with their values and goals. Additionally, practicing moderation and time management can help mitigate some of the negative effects of excessive movie-watching.
