Movie lovers has been wagging their tongue for few weeks now after
information went viral that the Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board
(NFVCB), led by Patricia Bala has been withholding the release of the
award winning film titled, Half of A Yellow Sun, and the question is,
what is actually the reason behind it, the film has been viewed in
Canada and other countries of the world.
The former National
President of Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), and veteran actor Segun
Arinze is really bitter about this situation as the movie has been
longed due for release, the actor has raised his voice high demanding
for the release of the film. Mr Arinze lamented that people who are
close to Madam Bala should beg her to release the film, as she has no
concrete reason to ban the film.
He stated: "Please tell Madam
Patricia Bala of Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board, to release the
movie, Half of A Yellow Sun. She has no reason to hold on to the movie.
She has no right to censor the movie only to classify it.
"She
saw it in Canada and even partnered with the producers in Canada during
the premiere. What she is doing now is an embarrassment to government
and a big insult to our dear industry Nollywood. We are not in a
military regime. She should kindly resign." - Segun Arinze
