Nigeria Entertainment Roundup: Segun Arinze speaks on Half of A Yellow Sun censorship

Nigeria Entertainment Roundup: Segun Arinze speaks on Half of A Yellow Sun censorship

Rapper Wale will soon visit Nigeria.

Popular Nigerian actor, Segun Arinze, has called for the resignation of the Director -General of Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board, Patricia Bala, for failing to classify critically acclaimed movie, Half of a Yellow Sun.

In a statement, the actor said the movie, which the D-G saw during its premiere in Canada, should have been released in Nigeria.

“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 wrote.

Half of a Yellow Sun, the film adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s book, was billed for Cinema debut on April 24.

Due to the NFVCB’s inability to classify the movie, majority of Nigerians are yet to see it.

The inability to classify the movie is believed to be because of what the NFVCB described as the sensitive ethnic content. The movie is a fictional representation of the Nigerian civil war where the Igbo sought to secede from Nigeria under the name Biafra.
