Release ‘Half Of A Yellow Sun’ Now Or Resign, Segun Arinze Tells Bala…

Former president of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Segun Arinze has called on Madam Patricia Bala of Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to release the movie ‘Half Of A Yellow Sun.’

Some weeks ago, in a very shocking decision NFVCB banned the widely publicised and internationally acclaimed movie, ‘Half of A Yellow Sun.’

An adaptation of the novel with the same title by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie which has been premiered in Nigeria.

Arinze made this call via a BB message made available to NigerianCurrent on Wednesday. He said Mrs Bala has no reason to hold on to the movie.

“She has no right to censor the movie, only to classify it. She saw it in Canada and even partnered with the producers in Canada during the premiere.

“What she is doing now is an embarrassment to the government and a big insult to our dear industry, Nollywood.

“We are not in a military regime. She should kindly resign,” Arinze said.
