LAGOS, - A German-Nigerian firm, AgroVulce says it will start a recruiting and structuring process into launching Internet and Movie pornography in Nigeria very soon, Ascology News can confirm.
The group indicated its readiness to launch a major pornographic website only featuring Nigerian porn stars and productions as well as get involved in local porn movie productions; a selection process is on the way to select and recruit cast members and porn actors, it said.
The AgroVulce group says it will partner with foreign investors in their bid to achieve a sustainable growth of the sector in the longest period of time. It also cited claims that most ‘African American’ porn cast members are Nigerians, further adding that Nigerian girls who travel outside the country to engage in illegal occupations (specifically prostitution) could earn ‘honest’ living in the country.
In a press statement retrieved by Ascology News, its publicity director, Emma Okoye said, "We believe in the right to unlimited freedom and the freedom of Nigerians to watch whatever increases their morale, spirit, energy and positivity."
"Although we are aware of the moral challenges that face us in a country like Nigeria, but we hope to spearhead the industry despite the challenges ahead and we are sure of overcoming them especially when you consider the fact that 70% of online users between 18-34 visit porn sites at least a month" Okoye added.
According to experts, the porn industry is estimated at $20 billion worldwide despite growing challenges for global restraints and actions against the industry and a total stamp on child pornography.
A legal expert speaking to Ascology News, Thomas Oluwole-Coker said such a move will meet high legal and technical challenges in Nigeria.
"This is surprising because be it Porn made in Nigeria or outside Nigeria, society in general frowns as such and the law is against it. The technical aspect that surrounds the legal aspect is that there is no adequate law preventing pornography in Nigeria as it is alien to us in the first place." Thomas Oluwole-Coker said.
"Still on the technical aspect, if you produce a porn movie (Nigerian or Foreign) it cannot be sold publicly as that is illegal, but if sold privately and Nigerians are involved, such person faces absolute scorn, condemnation and social stereotype in typical Nigerian society”.
The demand for online pornography is without doubt huge and magnanimous as site publishers rake in an estimated $1.2 billion annually. Sex.com sold at $13million in 2010 was listed as the most expensive domain name of all time according to online statistics from Compete. Porn.com was listed third (3rd) on same list and was sold at $9.5million in 2007.
The group however gave no further indication on its proposed plans and refused to divulge information on selection processes of cast roles or on any of its implementation plans.
