The Nollywood's Venom~2~

-

It is quite appalling to know that there is no strict censorship imposed on such movies.Movies meant only for adults have found their way into the hands of children,who get infected with the concealed viruses.Movie renters and sellers are more interested in the money they make more than the impact such movies are making in the society.Producers,directors and distributors are unable to control the censorship of nigerian movies.

Even foreign movies which are mostly pornographic have been freely circulated without any effort to checkmate them.Imagine where very little children of primary school age are caught possessing pornographic materials especially the popular blue films and sex magazines.Parents and clerics now have this menace to battle in youths and children.This behaviour in children must have emanated from the habit of watching our locally made home videos,mostly junks and filled with obscene scenes.

In his book,'Reflections',Adepoju Paul said that he feared watching nigerian movies because they could reduce ones IQ.Instead of sitting down to study their books,Youths make out more time for watching home videos even he it means staying awake late into the night.Little wonder their performances are very bad.They then resort to examination malpractice,seeking effortless shortcuts to success.

Our movies are usually centred on the so-called 'love' and are passed to the wrong eyes for consumption.Our inability to improve and delve into other relevant,educative themes has worsened the situation.Nollywood has rather preferred mass production to the quality of the products.

It is pertinent to note that our inability to produce quality and educative films,together with possessing the ability to censor them accordingly,will only corrupt more,the society.The message for the populace can be passed across to them without contaminating our holy eyes and minds.The actors and actresses that feature in our movies should be well educated on their roles.The government and other regulatory agencies should arise to regulate whatever goes on in the movie industry for the benefit of those that watch them.

The Second Stanza Of The National Anthem: A National Prayer

-
The Nigerian National Anthem is usually performed at major events having to do with national pride,such as the President's address,major sporting events and at school where it is usually accompanied by Nigeria's National Pledge. The anthem was adopted in 1978. The lyrics are a combination of words and phrases taken from five of the best entries in a national contest. The words were put to music by the Nigerian Police Band under the directorship of Benedict Elise Odiase. Unarguably,many people are conversant with the first stanza of the anthem and the National Pledge but the second stanza is rarely sung by people. This has made the stanza almost forgotten by Nigerian even some leaders. As we celebrate our independence again and 49years of much struggle without reasonable achievements,lets reflect on the second stanza of our anthem,believing that things will be better. I believe that the proper understanding of this stanza may make us change our wrong notions against our nation. ...

Nigerian Elections - When Sycophancy Pays

-
Elections are at the corner with party campaigns heating up, politicians are making their interests known to the public. Carefully concocted manifestos are being paraded, INEC compiling the names of party representatives and support sought from individuals and people groups. The great wind of elections is sweeping across the country and many become victims of assassinations and kidnaps, others end up mishaving due to much excitement. With the good, the bad and the ugly poised to lock horns in the April polls, the electorates are left with much work to do in the voting process. Politics in Nigeria has been regarded by people as the quickest and easiest way to get rich and amass wealth for themselves and unborn generations, at the expense of other legitimate citizens. This poor mentality has even been bequeathed to the younger generation, who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow, the future of Nigeria, our hope of escaping possible extinction of our nascent democracy and the hop...
