Worried by the alarming rate at which
soft-porn movies are uploaded indiscriminately on Youtube and other
social media platforms in recent times, creating a serious negative
impression about the country’s movie industry, some aggrieved
directors have come together to stem the tide.
To arrest the ugly trend, the directors
under the aegis of Nollywood Crusader Directors in a statement made
available to HVP, and signed on their behalf by actor Charles Awurum
and founder of Igbo film forum, comrade Eze Harris Chuma, have
threatened henceforth to slam a ban on actors and actresses who
feature in any sex Internet movie. “We have also agreed not to
employ the services of the actors in any movie they are directing,”
they said.
They have also called on parents to
always monitor the Internet to see what their wards are doing in the
name of acting.
“This is everybody’s fight. Many
innocent young girls are being tricked or forced into accepting to
act the indecent roles and some because of their innocence, childish
brain, and hunger to become movie stars, willingly accept the roles,
and even pay for it with their bodies or money. Those that have not
gotten to the age of reasoning are the ones we cry for. Those above
20 years can go ahead and act their blue movies, if that is what they
have agreed with their parents. They cannot be used by any concerned
Nollywood Crusader directors.”
This is not in our culture, and it is
not our tradition. Parents should be careful of what their children
are using there phones to watch. At 4 years, most of our children
have started to operate phones very well, even more than some adults.
We are talking today, for the sake of tomorrow. This young actors
will be mothers and fathers tomorrow, they will sit and watch the
shameful acts of their parents, years past,” the statement reads.
According to Eze Chuma, the group’s task force will be working with
the Nigeria Police to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested and
brought to book. “ Any actor or actress caught in the act will be
isolated and punished accordingly,” Chuma warned.
