One of the most-awaited films of this year in Nigeria "Half of a Yellow Sun" has been finally approved by the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB).

According to Premium Times, it was made known on Friday. The movie, which had been previously banned over partially taking place during the Biafran War, will be allowed to watch only by those 18 of age.

This movie, along with more than 70 other Nollywood films was tagged "18 and above" by the censorship board.

It would be recalled that the story with ban of "Half of a Yellow Sun" caused mass disappoinment with the decision. Specifically, by the novel author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who characterized the move as "absurd".

Months after the controversies surrounding the novel-based film, it was finally approved as the one "fulfilling the regulatory conditions stipulated by the NFVCB".

They never had a solid reason to ban it in the first place.

"The movie, which had been previously banned over partially taking place during the Biafran War". The war existed, it's our history and over 2 million Igbo's lost their lives. i wonder why they have not probe the culprits of that war/genocide.

I see no reason why Nigerian Government are always hellbent to hide anything relating to Biafra ...

If all things are actually equal Biafran woulda been forgiven by younger generations but Nigerian Government and her uncivilised way of Approaching issues !!


America Bombed two Territories of Japan with Atomic rendering all lives and non-lives 'lifeless' ... Japs and America are one of the best ally today and the event is always commemorated yearly while Americans are always in attendance ...... No ill feelings !!!

It was a civil war , lives were lost and we should acknowledged that, Infact that day the war ended should be declared a national holiday so the whole Nigeria can sympathize with fellow brothers across Niger crycrycrycry ...

But either you or your source need to work on your writing skills. Had to read this carefully to get the real story.
