NFVCB reveals why they can’t ban ‘Gangs of Lagos’ movie
Tumblr media
Following the controversies that have trailed the movie, “Gangs of Lagos”, since it was released on Amazon Prime Video, the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, has explained why they cannot ban it. The Executive Director and CEO of the regulatory body, Alhaji Adedayo Thomas, said the board can’t take any action against the movie for now. According to him, the NFVCB has no legal backing to regulate what is being exhibited on the online platform. Alhaji Thomas made this known in a telephone chat with Vanguard yesterday. He regretted that regulating online platform poses a lot of difficulties since it’s not part of the mandate of the Board. “Have you seen the movie in any cinema house or being exhibited in any open space? Our job does not cover regulating online platforms. “I don’t know why people are referring to the Censors Board to take action. We have a bill before the National Assembly seeking to empower the Board to regulate online platforms and any other platforms where movies are exhibited. “Online platform is difficult to regulate and it’s not part of our mandate,” Alhaji Thomas explained. His explanation became necessary as Lagos indigenes, on the platform of Isale Eko Descendants’ Union (IDU) recently petitioned the Censors Board over alleged defamation of their community and Eyo masquerade in the ‘Gangs of Lagos’ film. Lagos State Government, on its part, described the movie as a cultural misrepresentation as well as portraying the culture of the state in a derogatory manner. According to the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, the Ministry, being the regulatory body and custodian of the culture of Lagos State, viewed the film as a mockery of the heritage of Lagos. Co-produced by Kemi Lala Akindoju and Jade Osiberu, ‘Gangs of Lagos’ was released on Amazon Prime Video, an online platform on April 7. It featured the likes of Tobi Bakare, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Chike Osebuka, Chioma Chukwuka, Olarotimi Fakunle, Chioma Chukwuka, Bimbo Ademoye. Other stars of the hit movie are Iyabo Ojo, Zlatan, Debo “Mr Maraconi” Adedayo, Yhemolee, Pasuma, Toyin Abraham, Tayo Faniran, Damilola Ogunsi, Funke Williams, among others. Read the full article

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two Nigerian filmmakers face the prospect of imprisonment if they ignore the stern warning of the authorities and proceed with the release of a movie about a lesbian relationship.  The dramatic face-off with the regulators – the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) – is worthy of a film itself.  Producer Pamela Adie and director Uyaiedu Ikpe-Etim are determined that Ife (meaning “love” in…

Thank You For The Support. My heart overflows with gratitude as I express my heartfelt thanks to the family, friends, and loyal supporters who so generously contributed their time and effort to my campaign during this very long election season of the Directors' Guild of Nigeria (DGN) where I emerged victorious as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) elect on Sunday, March 7, 2021. It wouldn’t have been possible without your understanding and support. Your words of encouragement, guidance, and advice kept me sane while chasing deadlines. It has been so encouraging to meet so many new people. During my campaign travels. . The support I felt on Election Day was incredible and I owe it to you. With your trust. A lot of people deserve more than just a thank you. I will forever be grateful to them for their advises and prayers. Thanking you from the core of my heart. I truly appreciate you. @dgndirectors @akujobi_amy @nollywoodnews @nollywoodinsider @nollywoodinhollywoodla #nfvcb #tvc #bayelsa #ijawman (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWkRaxFeW0/?igshid=1i1w7anmbowso

Suicide: Association wants censors board to ban films with suicide scenes
Tumblr media
The national Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) have been advised to ban production of films with suicide scenes. The Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association (YYSA) gave the advice in Oshogbo on Monday. The President of the Association, Olalekan Hammed in a statement said suicide rate was alarming, adding that negative roles of suicide in most home videos was contributing to the menace. He said watching of suicidal films had made people, especially youths to see it as an ordinary measure someone could take to free himself or herself from frustration. “Film producers should be encouraged to use the medium to promote tolerance, endurance and professional steps that could be used to resolve issues rather than committing suicide. “It is not an overstatement to say that, all forms of immoralities and abnormal behaviour being exhibited by Nigerian youths were adopted through music and films they watch. “The National Films and Video Censors Board needed to do more to curtail moral decadence and abnormalities in the country. “It is like the regulatory body has derailed totally from its primary assignment which is to regulate films and video production in the country”, Hammed said. He also implored the Federal Government to appoint religious leaders and custodians of culture as members of the board to help the board achieve its mandate. Read the full article
