Lekan Ayinde, Manager of Wale Adenuga Production (WAP) in Lagos,
says Nigerian films are not too immoral nor vulgar as being portrayed by some
critics.
Ayinde told the naijaroyaltyculture.blogspot.com on Wednesday in Lagos that critics’ accusations of excessive immorality in Nigerian films were unfounded.

The reality is that what people consider as overt exposures of
female sexual appealing figures are really happening in our society.
“These exposures are not actually extreme.
“Besides, what we show in our films have global appeal that our government and regulatory agencies do not condemn.

“Besides, what we show in our films have global appeal that our government and regulatory agencies do not condemn.
Government’s regulations support watching foreign films that
show these so-called immoral things and this indirectly urge us to follow
suit,’’ the manager said.
According to Ayinde, Nigerian films score high on ethical issues
and conform with the moral ethos of the world today.
“It will be inconsiderate to ban our films for merely aligning with the things we see and watch in foreign movies.
“It will be inconsiderate to ban our films for merely aligning with the things we see and watch in foreign movies.
Those who feel that kissing and dressing to expose cleavages of
women are not part of original cultures are old fashioned, mundane and outmoded
in their thinking’’.
Ayinde said if government did not do anything about Nigerians watching
foreign films, then these global tendencies would continue to flourish in
indigenous movies.
On WAP’s latest project, Ayinde told naijaroyaltyculture.blogspot.com
that “Baba Ajasco Reloaded’’ would return with a different story line entirely
within weeks.
The new series is a redefinition of the programme to further its
relevance to the current trend.
About professionalism in the film industry, the production manager said the sector was becoming more closed to the `institutionally untrained actor’.

They should also portray their views of society through the
camera and theatre.
Generally, our film and theatre industry is not doing badly
compared to other developing economies.
According to him, the economic recession in Nigeria is a general
problem affecting all segments of the society.
Without the right money, Nigerian film producers will not be
able to engage society for development and global relevance the way they will
wish to.
