Perturbed by the rising level of obscenity contained within Nigerian local music videos, the National Films and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has expressed grave concerns over the trend.
“Videos of most local music are lurid; there are too many nude pictures and many of these aspects are just not morally justified," its Coordinator, North Central, Mr Ailewon Danlami, recently said in Jos.
Danlami noted that the content of musical videos had always constituted some embarrassment to members of the public, especially family members and children.
He revealed that the board was working towards setting up mobile courts to promptly try offenders.
“Aside the videos, even the lyrics are not pleasing the ears as the words are not morally permissible," he stressed.
He said the NFVCB was screening such music contents with a view to check their use and protect the Nigerian society from its negative impact, especially the under-aged. Danlami also complained of violence in most home videos, and lamented that such scenes were usually relayed in the morning and afternoons when children were still awake.
