The conceptualization of gender from Old to New Nollywood seems to shift between rigid masculinities alongside subjugated females and assertive females confronting masculine aggressions, respectively. This article articulates New Nollywood’s approach to representing gender-related issues like violence and sexual exploitation and challenging women’s silence in corporate and domestic spaces. The paper argues that the narration of gender archetypes in Kunle Afolayan’s Citation and Biyi Bandele and Kenneth Gyang’s Blood Sisters – both New Nollywood films – challenge the African patriarchal context in the corporate and domestic spaces where the films are set.
