Nollywood Banned From Glamorizing Money Rituals, Smoking In Movies

Nollywood Banned From Glamorizing Money Rituals, Smoking In Movies

Nigerian movies often depict themes and storylines, including smoking and money rituals. While these elements add drama and suspense to the narratives, it’s important to remember that they are fictional and should not be seen as a reflection of real-life norms or behaviors.

Smoking, as shown in movies, is perceived as dangerous, especially when portrayed in a negative light. It is well-known that smoking tobacco has serious health consequences, including various forms of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that smoking should not be glamorized or encouraged in real life.

Regarding money rituals, Nigerian movies sometimes explore this topic to create tension and intrigue. Money rituals typically involve supernatural or mystical practices aimed at acquiring wealth or success through dubious means. It is essential to recognize that money rituals are fictional and do not exist in reality.

The CEO of Nigeria’s National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), Shaibu Husseini, has revealed that the federal government has approved the prohibition of money rituals and glamorizing vices in Nollywood films.

“Today, we are facing an industry emergency requiring bold and ambitious actions from all parents, guardians, and stakeholders. When my predecessor approached the former Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, on the need to make subsidiary legislation to curtail the display of smoking in Nigerian movies, he saw the need to include money rituals.”

“Others included in the regulation are ritual killings and glamorizing other crimes to further sanitize the film industry. Today, I am delighted to announce to you that the  Minister of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hannatu  Musawa, according to section 65 of the NFVCB Act 2004, has approved the regulation.”

It is important to distinguish between the fictional portrayal of these themes in movies and the realities of life. Smoking is harmful to health, and engaging in illegal or unethical activities like money rituals is not advisable or acceptable in real life. It’s always best to prioritize health, well-being, and ethical behavior in the real world.

Negative Impact of Smoking In Movies

The glamorization of smoking in films has a negative influence on teenagers and young adults, who are often more susceptible to such influences. Research has shown that exposure to smoking in movies increases the likelihood of young people starting to smoke themselves.

Researchers have found marijuana metabolites in the urine of babies who were exposed to adult marijuana use.

In Nigeria, where teenagers and young adults make up a significant portion of the movie-viewing audience, it is crucial to address this issue. Smoking in films creates a perception that smoking is a desirable and socially acceptable behavior, leading to potential health risks and the normalization of smoking in society.

Efforts should be made to raise awareness about the harmful effects of smoking and to discourage the glamorization of smoking in Nigerian films. This includes promoting responsible portrayals of smoking, implementing stricter guidelines for filmmakers, and encouraging the inclusion of anti-smoking messages in movies.

Mr. Shaibu Husseini stated that the sensitization program was to educate stakeholders on the danger inherent in smoking in Nigerian movies.

He noted the film board was set to undertake detailed enlightenment programs in secondary schools, tertiary institutions, local communities, faith groups, and other institutions.

“As you all know, the film industry occupies a central position in the entertainment and creative sector, and it is imperative that we continue to place the highest premium on the progress of the film industry.

“The NFVCB supports smoke-free movies and smoke-free Nollywood, and we therefore seek your collaboration to develop creative content that discourages smoking and promotes positive health messages.”

Shaibu Husseini

Additionally, public health campaigns and educational programs help to inform young people about the dangers of smoking and promote healthy lifestyle choices.
