Tinsel star and Nollywood actor
Gideon Okeke took to his Instagram page to bash veteran actor Chiwetalu Agu for
his incessant use of vulgar slangs in his movies.
According to Gideon,
Chinwetalu Agu’s vulgarity is no longer funny as young kids also watch his
movies. He also came after directors and producers who give Chinwetalu Agu the
freedom to use those slangs in movies.
Gideon has however deleted his post
after fans of the comic actor came for him. Read Gideon’s post below.
“You know him as the wicked uncle in
film. But I know to check the sanity of my mind and ears whenever he comes on
screen. I’m a fan of his and also a film person, but the measure of liberty
this dear actor enjoys from directors and producers (within Nollywood) to
improve vulgarities in movies is not funny to me anymore as an audience member.
Hiding behind the pretext that not all of your audience understand Igbo
Language, is no licence to throw decorum out of the window. Our job is not only
to entertain, but to educate, inform and propagate culture, by subtly reshaping
perceptions. This is a case for the Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) and
our movie channels that play eyes-right to the demographic ratings 13, 16, 18
or PG. Watch Chinwetalu Agu again…You will reckon. He is funny no doubt, but
the kids are watching, adults are cringing.
NFVCB must be sleeping. Not all
content is day time content. I may be wrong, but that’s my view.”
