The recent reports are any thing to go by, then the sale or distribution of Ghanaian movies would be illegal in Nigeria .This is in retaliation to the ban placed on the distribution of Nigerian movies in Ghana. According to Nigerian movie makers under the arm of Film, Video Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (FVPMAN), the embargo paced on Ghanaian films takes effect from the end of June.
The FVPMAN chairman, Onistha branch ,
Mr.Uzo Godson Nwosu said this position was taken after the association's
general meeting last weekend in Onitsha. .In his words "Starting from
the first week of August, no Ghanaian film will be allowed to enter the
Nigerian market again.
We have resolved that no Ghanaian film will be distributed within our controlled market.Our Ghanaian counterparts have long stopped distributing our films in their country, and given this development, we have no choice than to reciprocate the gesture" He also stated that any member of their association who fails to comply would be prosecuted or have his goods confiscated
