Actors Blast NFVCB DG Over Stopping The Release Of Chimamanda's Film

Former President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria , Segun Arinze has berated the Director General of the Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board over her refusal to approve the release of Chimamanda Adichie's movie.

Here is Segun's statement.


Please tell Madam Patricia Bala ,the DG 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

Another Veteran Film Producer Tunde Alabi-hundeyin Dudu also has this to say about the DG's insistence that some portion of the movie should be removed.

"How many films have BOKO people watched that triggered their bloodletting. Do you think work of art and creativity can just be cut away like the bad part of a yam and you continue eating the rest. If they remove that part do you think the rest of the story will have meaning. It's just a nation of incompetent people. Disgusting."
