The use of questionnaire is because of its necessity in survey research it provides the means of discove1ring the prevailing attitude and reactions of population. The theories used for this project are Development Media Theory and Cultural Imperialism Theory. The study concludes that there is a significant relationship between the viewership of home videos (Basorun Gaa) and the promotion of cultural practices, propagation of traditions, cultural values, norms and aspirations of the people. The study therefore recommends that home videos in indigenous African languages could serve as an informal class room for the learning of these languages, especially when the home videos are subtitled therefore promoting cultural practice it also encourages multiculturalism as non-speakers of such languages could understand and appreciate the culture attached to that language.
