FG To Arrest Skit Makers Who Release Content Online Without Approval by Prestar(op): 5:30pm On Jun 28, 2024

The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) announced plans to arrest skitmakers releasing online content without approval. The board, led by Shaibu Husseini, issued a social media statement warning filmmakers and content creators to stop producing, promoting, and distributing unapproved content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter.

The statement expressed growing concern over the proliferation of content violating Nigeria’s censorship laws. “The attention of the National Film and Video Censors Board has been drawn to the activities of some unscrupulous filmmakers/content creators who are clearly flouting the provisions of the country’s law with impunity,” it began.

The NFVCB specifically targeted same-sex content, declaring it illegal in Nigeria. The board, responsible for censoring and classifying films and videos, emphasized the legal requirement for all content, including skits and music videos, to be classified by the NFVCB before distribution or exhibition.

Reminding creators of the 2014 Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, the board stated, “It is an offense to directly or indirectly make a public show (Exhibition) of same-sex relationships in Nigeria.” The board also reiterated that distributing or exhibiting any film or video content without NFVCB classification is illegal.

The NFVCB announced its collaboration with security agencies to identify and take legal action against those violating these regulations.

A welcome development. There should also be a law to arrest and jail those putting people's life in danger all the name of skit/prank.

My only regret is that there will no longer be skits mocking bad politicians.

This policy is absolutely right. Stupid pranksters will be put in their place now. Those teaching children vulgar slangs will be disciplined by this policy. Crossdressers too will collect.

But the process of approving such contents should be simplified.

Working in an office that approves such contents will be fun. The workers will be the first to watch every skit.😂

Nigeria just like making laws they can't enforce

How do you define a skit maker? Or a random person posting a video of themselves acting?

This law makes no sense

Instead of you to focus on taxing their streaming earnings by 40% minimum .. This is easier to do, easy to trace and instant revenue generation

But no u want try to control them nig to abuse the president and u would fail making u appear weak

Another tax
Just because Facebook monetised the platform for Nigerians, government has come out to collect money through the backdoor.
Why is this APC evil government trying so hard to dampen the effort of Nigeria who have been impoverished by their policies?

The government refused to empower the youths, now that they no longer rely on you people, you still want to be talking about getting approval from you people before making any contents.

Stupid government. This policy can't even work. By the time they have thousands of videos a day waiting for approval, which will spill to millions in a week.... Government agencies that doesn't even respond to emails.

By the way, what do they define as content? They want to bring social media bill through the back door.

If I make a video about ugly Tinubu falling would they approve it?

Has anyone noticed a trend, from killing crypto business in the name of fighting money laundering to fighting skit makers.

APC zukwanike.

Businesses are leaving daily and the economy is bleeding and all people can think on is to strangulate skit makers and content makers will be next.

Someone needs to be told in very plain words that this is not a military rule.
APC came to kill , steal and destroy

The government is right this time. Content creation needs to be regulated. Taxation is necessary but cannot substitute the regulation.
