Veteran Actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo Fumes As FG Bans ‘Money Rituals’ In Nollywood
Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has kicked against FG’s ban of money rituals in films.
He joined other prominent figures in Nigeria’s movie industry to strongly oppose the government’s new restrictions.
FG had put a restriction on rituals and other portrayals in films, music videos, and skit contents.
This came after the Minister of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, under section 65 of the NFVCB Act 2004 approved the prohibition of Money Ritual, Ritual Killing, Tobacco, Tobacco Products, Nicotine Product Promotion and Glamorisation display in Movies, Musical Videos and Skits” Regulations 2024.
Reacting to the restriction, Kanayo dubbed the policy as “arrant nonsense,” questioning the reasoning of Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, for endorsing such constraints on filmmakers.
In his words, “Arrant nonsense. This minister has no work, just like lair Mohammed.”
Additionally, veteran musician Mike Okri expressed his doubts about the government’s intentions, suggesting the ban might be an attempt to undermine the film industry.
