 Stop making movies projecting Nigerians as uncivilised – Yul Edochie tells Nollywood producers Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has urged filmmakers in the country to desist from making movies that project Nigerians as clowns and uncivilised when they travel abroad. He noted that movie producers are tarnishing the image of the country with such storylines. He advised them to rather tell stories where Nigerians travel abroad and proffer “traditional solutions to problems and become leaders over there.” On his Instagram page, Edochie wrote: “I wish our producers will stop making films where Nigerians travel abroad, dey mumu. We sell ourselves short with such storylines. “Oyibo people will never make a movie where a white man is foolish on African soil. Instead they’ll make the white man smarter than all the Africans in the movie. “It’s intentional. They use movies to sell themselves as superheroes, while we use ours to run ourselves down. “Let’s make movies where a Nigerian goes abroad and b

 Senate confirms minimum age requirement for admission into universities


The Nigerian Senate has made it clear that the statements regarding the potential increase of the age limit to 18 years were individual viewpoints.


The Senate stressed that any adjustments to the age limit would require proper legislative procedures, whether they involve lowering or raising the limit.


Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Adeyemi Adaramodu, made this known in an interview with journalists on Wednesday.


Recall that last week, Prof. Tahir Mamman, the Minister of Education, stated that the government is thinking about changing the minimum age for entering universities to 18 years old.


“Comment on the minimum age requirement for admission is not a law,” the lawmaker said.


“So it is just an opinion. It’s not a law. By the time the Senate resumes, whoever wants to bring that one out to make it a law, will now bring it and then the procedures will take place.


“You can bring whatever to the floor in form of a bill. When you bring it, there’s going to be public hearing.


“All the stakeholders will sit down and talk about it. The parents, teachers, legislators, civil society organisations, even foreign organisations.


“We will sit down and talk. Even if they say that the minimum age should be 30 or 12, we will all discuss it in an open forum. So it’s still a comment which cannot be taken to be the law.”
