The Nigerian
Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, on Friday finally approved the movie, Half
of a Yellow Sun, for wide release.
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..
The
classification was announced Friday evening alongside over 70 other Nollywood
movies. It came at a time the producers of Half Of A Yellow Sun already
enlisted it for online viewing in the United States of America.
