Why We Declared War Against Soft-Porn Movies – Nollywood directors

Some aggrieved movie directors under the aegis of Nollywood Crusader Directors have frowned at the rate at which soft-porn movies are indiscriminately uploaded on YouTube and other social media platforms in recent times. 

They described the rate as alarming, saying it created a serious negative impression about the country’s movie industry.
In a statement made available to HVP, and signed by renowned actor, Charles Awurum and founder of Igbo film forum, comrade Eze Harris Chuma, the group threatened to slam a ban on actors and actresses who feature in any sex Internet movie.

The statement read: “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.

“These young actors will be mothers and fathers tomorrow, they will sit and watch the shameful acts of their parents, years past.
“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.

“We have also agreed not to employ the services of the actors in any movie they are directing. 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 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,” the statement added.
