FG bans money ritual, smoking scenes in Nollywood films


The Federal Government has approved the prohibition of money rituals and the glamorising of vices in Nigerian films.


The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Executive Director and CEO of the National Film and Video Censors Board, Shaibu Husseini disclosed this at a National Stakeholders Engagement on Smoke-Free Nollywood held in Enugu on Wednesday.


The event was organised by the NFVCB and Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa.


Movie producers, directors and actors drawn from different parts of the country, as well as leaders of various guilds and associations in the Nigerian film industry were present at the event.


Husseini said that today, we are facing an industry emergency requiring bold and ambitious actions from all parents, guardians and stakeholders.


“When my predecessor approached the former Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed on the need to make a subsidiary legislation to curtail the display of smoking in Nigerian movies, he saw the need to include money rituals.


“Others included in the regulation are ritual killings and glamorising other crimes to further sanitise the film industry.
