Room 027 is undoubtedly the most controversial film on the Nollywood
scene till date, and it hasn’t even been released yet! The trailer of
the movie features Collins Onochei and actress Chinelo Ememchukwu in
steamy scenes that many say will put Tonto Dike’s Dirty Little Secrets
to shame.
However, Onochei argues that Room 027 is not soft porn. While talking
to newsmen recently, he said: “And I’m going to say this with all sense
of responsibility that the average Nigerian viewer is a hypocrite. Why?
Because you will sit down in the comfort of your bedroom and watch a
normal porn movie. No problem.
“Let’s even leave a porn movie. You will sit down in the comfort of
that same room of yours and watch a Sharon Stone movie featuring maybe
Michael Douglas and they are completely naked. You go and watch in
Silverbird or other cinemas movies where there are sex scenes. They are
all naked, yet nobody makes a fuss about it.
“Room 027 is nothing close to a soft porn movie. I have no interest
in nudity. I just did my job as an actor. Nigerians have not seen the
movie, they don’t know whether the girl was naked or if anyone was naked
and they are making a whole lot of noise about it.”
Well is Room 027 soft porn? You’d have to find out for yourself,
because being a respectable newspaper and all, we can’t publish the
pictures we found. But Collins, may we ask: “If we remove ‘soft’ will
you agree that it is porn?”
