Nollywood Movie Posters; Encouraging Nudity? (+18)


On several occasions, we get to pass by one movie poster or the other in different locations, mostly on the streets. Now, these movie posters are there to give a hint on what the film is all about and lure people to grab a copy of it.
For so many people, who tend to be lovers of Nollywood films, they can testify to this. Seventy to 80 percent of Nollywood movie producers prefer to use half n*ked pictures of actresses to advertise their movies on posters, which of course, for those who like such views, buy them and find a different content entirely in the film from what was projected on the posters.



Some have advised that movie posters advertised in public, which have X-rated poster contents, shouldn't be viewed as p*rn and even though it is p*rn, but should be kept away from the eyes of children. This is because many parents take their children out or send them on errands and the kids get glued to these posters and starts looking at an adult posing half n*ked just to sell a film, sometimes, few are even fully n*ked. These set of actresses used for such 'adverts' are in the up and coming category. They want to do anything to get fame and money.

What then are the moral lessons to be expected from these movies? And if it is a p*rn, it should be known and not put for public consumption. We all know that kids of this generation tend to learn faster than they are expected to. The Nigerian movie industry is fast becoming like its Western counterpart.

The rate at which Nollywood movies are going er*tic is alarming. They are beginning to take n*dity as a normal thing.

Above is a poster of a Nollywood movie, Calabar Girls and the girls are almost n*ked on the poster.

What do you think of this trend as children get to see these posters too?
