In a post shared by Punch on Threads, Ini Edo publicly appealed amid the NFVCB pressure around her film A Very Dirty Christmas and its cinema run.
The dispute blends censorship pressure, public outrage, and the commercial reality of theatrical windows—where even short disruptions can wreck box-office momentum.
Ini Edo’s position is essentially: allow audiences to choose, while any regulatory concerns should follow due process rather than public intimidation.
Premium Times reported the board’s demand and the push to withdraw the title, while Vanguard also noted that the censors board had “asked cinemas to withdraw” the film.
Echotitbits take: Nollywood’s next growth phase needs clearer content classification and fewer ad-hoc “moral tribunals.” Watch whether NFVCB issues a transparent, written decision—and whether cinemas comply uniformly or selectively.
