NFVCB Announces Ban Of Films Celebrating Villains

Published

on

National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has announced a ban on movies with stories that glamourize villains. Adedayo said that films with stories that ennoble characters deserving of punishment will not be approved.

The board’s CEO Adedayo Thomas confirmed the latest rule in a statement presented on Monday September 6, 2021, at a five-day capacity building workshop on censorship and classification for selected University of Calabar students.

”Nigerian films and movies should depict reality but also give out moral lessons at the end. Our films should identify a societal problem, go into action and at the end of the day, show what happens to perpetrators of evil in the film,” Thomas said.

“But when you produce a particular film and you glamourize or celebrate someone who has done terrible things against the culture or humanity without punishment, we don’t approve such films.”

During the workshop, Thomas disclosed that in line with the Buhari-led administration’s move to monitor hate speech online, the board is also looking into movie content released on platforms like YouTube and Google. The board will also monitor script development.

The NFVCB boss also announced a note of warning to filmmakers who bypass the board to still release films with unapproved content.

“Even though we are aware that some defaulters still produce movies without passing through NFVCB, we want to make students understand the activities of the board so that it becomes part of them.”

According to Thomas, the government seeks to ensure that filmmakers are making morally upright films with the goal of protecting Nigerian children from societal ills.

Published

David Williams, the comedian and actor, is leaving Britain’s Got Talent after ten years as a judge on the ITV show.

 

 

 

 

David, 51, resigned as a judge on the show after being forced to apologise for foul-mouthed remarks about contestants.

 

 

 

 

 

After a decade on the judging panel, David Walliams is being replaced. In the coming weeks, Walliams plans to formally confirm his decision to step down.

 

 

 

 

A source disclosed to The Sun;

 

 

 

“David has decided to bow out after a ten-year run. He wants to leave on a high after a wonderful time.

 

“Being on the show has been a huge source of entertainment and joy for him and he is arguably the most popular member of the panel.

 

“He hasn’t taken the decision lightly, but it feels like time to move on and focus on his other projects.

 

“His team have quietly been having conversations over the past few days where it has been made clear that David is readying himself to step down – and then producers will start to think about who might replace him.

 

“His exit might not be popular with fans who adore him.

 

“But for David it appears that now, after an amazing ten years on the show, it is the right time to move on.”

 

 

For the 16th series, head judge Simon Cowell, 63, and panellists Amanda Holden, 51, and Alesha Dixon, 44, are expected to return.

Christiana Ojumu, popularly known as Christy O, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, shared a video of herself driving a white Mercedes Benz G-wagon worth over 100 million naira. She sparked outrage online when she claimed to have just purchased the car.

 

 

 

 

After sharing a video of herself chilling in the new white Mercedes Benz G-wagon, the former Big Brother Naija 7 housemate set tongues wagging online.

 

 

 

 

However, this seemingly good news has prompted some to question whether purchasing such an expensive car at this time should be a priority for a young celebrity like herself. Others have slammed the story as nothing more than fake news designed to draw attention to her because she did poorly during her brief stint on the BBNaija show.

 

 

 

 

Many BBNaija fans have reacted to the reality TV star’s video, claiming that it is nothing more than a publicity stunt, and that if she did acquire the luxury SUV, her priorities are skewed.

 

 

 

 

 

Some fans congratulated her in the comments section, while others suggested that Christy O was chasing clout with the vehicle because she couldn’t possibly afford it.
