The much awaited movie Half of a yellow sun has finally been approved by the Nigerian censors board after a two months delay. #yaaayyyy
Even though it is already showing in Britain and the United States, the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) blocked the release citing “regulatory issues” few hours before it's release.
Writing for the New Yorker magazine’s website in May, the novel’s author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said the authorities were concerned about a scene in the film adaptation depicting the massacre of Christians from the Igbo ethnic group by Muslim Hausa tribesman at a northern Nigeria airport.
Kene Mkparu of Filmhouse Cinemas, which is distributing the film in Nigeria said “We didn’t have to change the essence of the film, but we complied with what they asked us to do,”
I can't wait to see the movie #dancingmode
