Abstract
Foreign cultural traits and tastes seem to be prevalent among Nigerian students. This case study therefore attempted to investigate the impact of cultural diffusion and globalization on students’ lifestyles at Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta. A sample of 275 students out of a total of 5,012 Nigeria Certificate in Education students had their opinion investigated through a 15 – item questionnaire. Using a randomized survey method with percentages and chisquare (X2) test on two hypotheses, it was discovered that the students belong to the “split-personalities” class with a significant preferences for Eurocentric lifestyles. There was equally a significant difference between male and female views on some elements of cultural diffusion and globalization in the college. True African cultural renaissance was therefore recommended as a remedy. Keywords: Cultural diffusion, Globalization and Split-personalities.
