One of the most-awaited films of this year in
Nigeria "Half of a Yellow Sun" has been finally
approved by the Nigerian Film and Video Censors
Board (NFVCB).
According to Premium Times, it was made known
on Friday. The movie, which had been previously
banned over partially taking place during the
Biafran War, will be allowed to watch only by
those 18 of age.
This movie, along with more than 70 other
Nollywood films was tagged "18 and above" by
the censorship board.
It would be recalled that the story with ban of
"Half of a Yellow Sun" caused mass
disappointment with the decision. Specifically, by
the novel author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who
characterized the move as "absurd".
Months after the controversies surrounding the
novel-based film, it was finally approved as the
one "fulfilling the regulatory conditions stipulated
by the NFVCB".
