Half of a Yellow Sun will still not be showing in Nigeria anytime soon, close to two months after it made its debut in cinemas worldwide.
Nigerian censors in their latest statement on the film said the movie could undermine national security. They therefore want cuts to allow the film, partly set during Nigeria’s 1960s civil war, to be shown to Nigerians.
A statement Wednesday by the Censors Board said the board was still awaiting a response from the exhibitors to a May 27 letter “requiring the distributor to expunge/edit some clearly stated objectionable aspects.”
