These days, Nigerian street corners are saturated with movies that should only be sold discreetly in some designated outlets, due to their visible adult content.
But it has been gathered that most of the movies are brought into Nigeria from Ghana and as such do not pass through necessary screéning.
Reacting to the issue, Nigerian Censors Board head, Ms Patricia Bala, said:
“Because it’s an underground thing, it keeps coming up, and we have been trying to trace the sources enough to understand that most of these movies emanate from pornographic sites on the internet. We have been trying to trace the people who operate such sites on internet.
"We have been to Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and they said they don’t regulate content on the internet.
"Our next approach is to approach YouTube and other site managers that do such business, so that we can stop them. As a matter of fact, we want those sites to be blocked.”
I think the prolifération of ádult-contént movies on our streets should worry every right thinking person.
