Finally, Nigeria censors board approves Half of A Yellow Sun for viewing


THE movie, 'Half of a Yellow Sun, was, on Friday, finally approved by the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), for wide release.

This is in confirmation of the story exclusive published on this website three days ago about a possible release of the movie which was unapproved by the Nigerian censor's board for months.
The board had delayed the release of the movie since April, citing current security situation in Nigeria and claiming the movie, which is based on a novel of same name on the Nigerian civil war, could incite violence.
The movie, whose novel was written by Chimamanda Adichie, was classified 18 and above by the censor’s board.
