my movie is not porn - Nollywood producer (+provocative pics)

You must have heard about 'Room 027', the new movie by Collins Onwochei where there are a lot of steamy scenes including full nudity.Some have dubbed it soft porn but Collins say it is anything but that. This is his statement from press release
"Room 027 has made a lot of headlines, especially on the social network. I say this with all sense of responsibility. I think Nigerians are hypocrites. They are the same people that will say you can tell the end of a movie just by seeing the beginning. Same people that watch all episodes of Spartacus in the comfort of their living room and nobody gives a hoot about it. I did not shoot or act in a soft porn movie. Room 027 is nothing close to a soft porn movie. I have no interest in nudity. I just did my job as an actor. Nigerians have not seen the movie, they don't know whether the girl was naked or if anyone was naked and they are making a whole lot of noise about it"

From what we gather, the award-winning filmmaker, Ishaya Bako’s new film, ‘Fuelling Poverty’ has been banned in Nigeria by the Federal Government. The reasons is still unclear, but the content of the movie must be largely responsible.

Fuelling Poverty is a documentary on the fuel subsidy in Nigeria, and it tries to expose the scams of the political class. It is narrated by Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka. On reaching the filmmaker over the phone during the week, Mr. Bako, who is not new to controversy, said he has been summoned by the State Security Service to answer some questions.

Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, wrote a letter to the filmmaker, Ishaya Bako, saying the contents of the documentary “are highly provocative and likely to incite or encourage public disorder and undermine national security.” The Board warned Mr. Bako to abide by the order as he would now be treated as though he were a threat to national security.
