THE SEX REVOLUTION IN THE NIGERIAN ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY



We have such a situation right now in Nigerian movies where sex is no more implied but acted out. Sex scenes are becoming the order of the day.
While we were growing up, we were trained with morals and told the consequences of making mistakes. Now the message is different; we are being told to become "freaks in the sheet".

There is a sexual revolution in the Nigerian entertainment scene so much so that music videos and home videos are filled with revolting scenes. They say they want to be like Americans and that if Americans can do it why can't they do it? I'm sure they like what the American society has turned out to be; increase in teenage pregnancies, abuse of drugs, high rate of suicide and generally high rate of unhappiness. The American entertainment industry had a sexual revolution in the 90's.

Sex sells they say. And many of them are smiling to the banks with their newly made fortune but look at the effect on society.
Sooner or later they would realize that fame and fortune gotten that way cannot guarantee happiness. If it could why are American screen stars committing suicide and turning to drugs?

The effect can already be seen in the high rate of divorce in society and they wonder why their marriages are crashing. There are other movie industries in the world and even movies coming from America where sex is given its rightful place.
What is wrong if our movies and music videos are known for cleanliness just like it is with India then we can also export morality to the rest of the world.

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
