Pornography in Nollywood!

I have always known Hollywood was daring when it comes to showing skin but then it appears their Nigerian counterparts have begun to "chop liver" as we like to say it in this part of the world. The rate at which more skin is being revealed in our home videos is really alarming.

I got an inkling of this when I started seeing disturbing posters of Nollywood movies where women are in underwear. One particular one made me want to puke. The lady was taking her panties off! I can't believe that I would witness the day when our movies would get to that level. In fact the one I saw on a blog this morning brought the gravity of the situation home to me. The actor, Muna Obiekwe, was actually pulling off his boxers! The devil is using some of these actors, movie directors and financiers to unleash a wave of lust and immorality into the airwaves. Have you wondered why all of a sudden, the rate of rape cases has suddenly increased? Just this week a gang of rapists was caught and displayed on TV. A few months ago it was the case of a gang of students raping a fellow student and putting it on twitter. Could all these be as a result of the increase in the activity of demon spirits empowered by the release into the airwaves by these movies?

The most dangerous bit is the cheap availability of these movies. Just walk down Oshodi and with N500 you can buy between 5-7 movies. Or simply go to your local barber store and you'll get to rent these movies for between N20 and N50. So anyone can just walk anywhere and get a full dose of pornography, to his heart's content.

It may surprise you but most of our youth are being "trained" for immorality and lewdness and most of us are clueless as to how this is happening. How has all this happened right under our noses? Simply because we kept quiet and didn't do anything. We must understand (and accept) that there's a legitimate desire for entertainment. It's human (and not an "unspiritual" desire). However, we must ensure that the desire is fed with the appropriate content. Right now is the time to release content that is wholesome. Let's make movies that are better in content and promote kingdom values-character, trust, love, friendship, courage and so on. These values cut across all mankind and are not just "christian".

As part of an effort to empower individuals with the information to rightly influence this generation, I'll be holding a seminar this Sunday at NOIC Grounds, Charley Boy b/s, Opposite Intercontinental Bank plc, Gbagada. The programme is focused on how media can be used to bring the influence of God's kingdom to this generation. It promises to be practical and insightful. The venue is just after the foot bridge just before getting to UPS and ChristChurch. Click here to go to the Facebook Event Page.

Here's a link to description to the venue.
