HERE WE GO AGAIN...
In a fresh attempt to once again use Nigerians as the scapegoat for everything negative,a writer in Uganda opined that Nigerian films, which entertain millions in Nigeria, across the African continent and the Caribbean, are the cause of that nation's increasing rate of crimes against children. . Specifically, the writer, Nathan Were, explained:
"According to statistics... over 3,760 cases involving children have been reported and investigated. Most of these cases range from child neglect, abuse, torture, abduction, sacrifice, murder, kidnapp and abortion. Although some measures have been instituted to reduce these crimes, one area that has not been exploited is the contribution of Nigerian movies towards crime."
Nathan also went on to State,
"the [Nollywood] scenes depicted are mostly those that involve violence, witchcraft, murder, child sacrifice, robbery, theft and breaking families. The images these movies portray are detrimental to our society and could possibly be one of the little known causes of increased crime in Uganda. Desperate people pick tips from these movies on how to execute crimes."
