See the absurdity on parade in this trailer of a soon to be released Nollywood movie.
Evidences that the Nigerian film industry is taking a dangerous slope towards pornography are emerging at the speed of light with our teenagers and young adults as major victims. No wonder we now record cases of rape (and gang rape) in Nigeria almost on a daily basis. Some Nigerians are good at copying other people’s exploits; the problem is when they do, their focus seems to tilt towards the negative stuffs – knowingly or unknowingly.
‘Graphic’ sex scene movies which used to be the exclusive preserve of...
Ghanaian artistes is now gaining grounds in Nollywood through the likes of Muna Obiekwe and his 'partners in crime' - Jibola Dabo, Eucaria Anunobi, Oge Okoye, Tonto Dike, to mention just a few. But one actor who stands tall from the pack is Muna. The light skinned Enugu boy is known for his dexterity in playing such illicit scenes so much that he’s fast becoming a ‘hot cake’ for any producer/director who wants to join the band wagon.
Since stepping into the industry Muna has featured in some great movies, but his involvement in ‘graphic’ sex scene movies in recent times is becoming a cause for concern and unless something is done urgently by our Video Censors Board to tightened its regulatory grip, Nollywood will be heading “south” in no distant time. In fact, some critics believe we are already a major player in the farce.
The major problem is that these “adults” movies are sold on every street corner in Nigeria at N200 (Part 1 & 2), with their CD jackets displaying seductive pictures. I really don’t mind anyone acting or producing such movies, since there are people who enjoy watching same. But something MUST be done to regulate their distribution and display in public places for the sake of our youths; otherwise Nigeria should be ready to join the league of South Africa as one of the countries with the highest cases of HIV/AIDS in the nearest future.
Today cases of rape and unwanted pregnancy are making headlines in Nigeria more than any time in our history. Nothing happens by accident; there is a reason for this. We either do what MUST be done or fold our hands and watch things fall apart, and wait for posterity to judge us. The major work however belongs to the regulatory bodies... Some of the movies in this category are: Men in Love, Dirty Secret, Cruz, BlackBerry Babes, etc, etc.
