This news is yet to be
confirmed but there are indications that the much acclaimed Biyi Bandele’s “Half
of a Yellow Sun” – a film adaptation of celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie’s Orange Prize-winning novel of the same name has finally been cleared
by the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board for local release.
Simple put the film can now
be shown in Nigerian Cinemas.
The announcement however did
not include any date for the eventually released now that the film has gotten
the much sought after approval.
The Nigerian Censor Board
has requested for certain parts of the film to be edited because "it might incite violence in the
country" given its subject matter - specifically, a scene that
details a massacre at a northern Nigerian airport - in light of current
political turmoil within the country.
…………
For me, am
just happy I can finally walk into a cinema and watch with friends and family.
