About time. Also ban using bible to defeat demons. Never happens in real life

lol.

Gajagojo:

Law operates on principle not specifics
Once the principle is established that they can ban content for so called Money ritual
The next thing is defining. RITUAL in law and. GLAMORIZATION e.g is paying tithe ritual if a connection is made between paying tithe and sudden or unexplained wealth
what the hell is glamorization how is that defined?


If they can ban smoking why can't they ban drinking or even telling lies.
They can ban shooting or killing in films
They can ban films showing eating pork,Beating wives, fighting they can ban miniskirts bleaching skin,mass marriage of girls,sagging pants,men plaiting hair
They will have the power to ban any film that casts Fulani herdsmen as bandits
We must still ask what is the underlying principle. Is it morality? islam or what?
Do we share the same morality across Nigeria

When you clap for one thing realise it may come back to bite you wearing different clothes

This is quality of argument needed on this forum

Them don Comot Kanayo from work be that o

Let us not complain when they ban films showing coups,films with women wearing. MEN'S CLOTHES or vice versa
The simple fact is you have the power to ban one thing in films you have the power to ban anything which is compatible with Northern Nigerian way of life where you deal with stuff by banning. Just like they ban spraying money in name of abuse Not surprised this is coming from a Northern Muslim
Certainly this is not our way in the south. We don't live by banning

Meanwhile, the tail does not wag the dog. You ban Tobacco on screen but do not ban it in real life. Are you not fooling yourself?

Banning them on screen does not stop them in real life. The screen display is just an imitation of the reality. They didn't start on the screen and are not even well-demonstrated on screen. Nobody takes the screen own serious.

The only good thing about the ban is that those Asaba producers using mediocrity to cash out will either become creative or fade out.

Nobody takes the screen own serious. Let me withdraw this statement. Some people get the motivation for silly things from the screen.

A lot of human actions are imbibed subconsciously by the things you see especially in kids and teens who are very vulnerable. Why do you think companies spend billions on adverts and why did US pass a ban in TikTok from a Chinese company? It is ready to use media for thought control of a population

A tad too late.

What people watch has more influence in their lives than they would like to admit. That's why advertising and modelling is very important for businesses. There are reasons brand "influencers" are paid very well.

But they will not ban big brother naija tv show where naked girls and boys knack each other and display immoral behaviors for the youths to watch which spoils the youths..... hyprocites

Desusi:

That's the next step now.Wait, na step by step.you're too forward.After that we go stop calling terrorists bandits.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's the bad economy, poverty hunger hardship unemployment that is the cause of money ritual and killings, criminal activities,cultism, fraudulent activities...not movies .. make the economy to be good and better and provide better lifes for nigerians and all this immoral behaviors and money ritual and killings and criminal activities will reduce and stop gradually.. so you the governmen it's your fault..simple

that may be true
So what?
Is banning the solution?

People do not see this on NTA they buy the films with their money
People who are adults make a choice what they want to watch in a democracy
Why should one adult decide what another adult Can watch on his TV in his house

Will they have the power to ban content in novels or live Theatre?

Does this mean they will ban YouTube in Nigeria
What about porn will they ban that too
Will they ban women who bleach ?or wear trousers?
Will they ban twerking?
Maybe they will ban films where people change their religion
Can they ban films if women don't wear hijab

Who decides what to ban?on what basis?
Once you give away such powers you will discover there is no limit

Useless clueless and backwards government. absolutely ridiculous! Kangaroo government. Shadow chasing corrupt thieving drog sniffing government.


I don't even watch them mediocre Naigerian movies but this policy is totally absurd.

This total bullshit,a very very idiotic move from this administration, Nigeria is not a Muslim nor Christian country,we are a secular country so all this can't stand,let the movie and music video promoters take them to court and get this rubbish suspended.

Gradually turning to Islamic Republic😥

Hi guys. The above headline has been debunked by the Censors Board DG, Shaibu Hussein. He claims that his words at the event in Enugu that aims to promote less smoking has been misused by mischievous bloggers.

Gajagojo:

Do you think they should ban the same in novels?

How many novels are read or written by Nigerians?

justmondris:


How many novels are read or written by Nigerians?

How is that relevant?

So things are criminalized by number?

How many planes have been hijacked in Nigeria

If you cannot reason logically be silent

Kanayo Kanayo will be unhappy about it

He was a one man Rituals Promotion and Publicity Army

SmartyPants:


People have the right to smoke. But the government can encourage them not to. That's the point.

And you are wrong that nobody takes the screen version seriously. That is how most youngsters get into it. Over time the association of smoking with things like sex scenes has been proven to drive the adoption of smoking

Indian movies and any foreign movie scene that has smoking must have the smoking kills message added to it.

justmondris:

The person you quoted has forgotten that some books are banned in Nigeria. If you think it is old school, when you go through immigration and they catch you with the material, you will remember the law. Not all novels are legal, even if is an ebook

Very overdue..not so much the tobacco as the rituals..it makes the dumb ones feel that is the way to wealth
