It is from Ekiti parapo wars that pithed town against town in the struggle to survive the slave raids. In current usage it refers to home town or ethnic chauvinism. Yoruba linguists may correct my understanding of the term.

Nollywood Oga Biko,There is no "parapo"
factor in Auteuring Nollywood at all. I only
attempted to complicate the periodization issue in the
interview but did not do any such thing in the volume. I
think you will find it a beautiful experimentation with the
auteur theory/philosophy
angle. I love the essay you wrote with
the Baudrillardian angle. Nice

Thanks for sharing, Gloria. Ken
must be disappointed that you did not film any trash in the
background though you chose a posh part of Lagos for this
purpose. I look forward to reading
Shina's book too though his choice to focus on his
parapo may limit the appeal of the book on a national
phenomenon. Gloria should be cautious about
ingoring postmodernist theory given that Derrida creditef
his African cultural backgroynd with inspiring his
decobstruction discourse. The saying that the author is dead
simply means long live the critic because the author cannot
dictate the reception. Here is an essay that I wrote on
Nollywood highlighting its technological inovations and
taking Baudrillard seriously https://www2.ubishops.ca/baudrillardstudies/vol-11_3/v11-3-agozino.html Biko --------------------------------------------On Fri, 9/2/18, Emeagwali, Gloria

That is a
realgood compliment - coming from
a renowned specialist inthe field of African
cinema.The Lagos
shotswere done around 8.00am on a
Sunday . That is why the streets
wereclear. This gave me the
opportunity to enjoy the beauty
ofLagos from another
angle. Specialcommendation to Governors
Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode
forfacilitating such
a clean
andbeautiful
city. The
interviewtook place at Maryland, Lagos
about a week before. Dr. Afolayan had one minute
notice!!!! GE
