Tongues have started wagging over the latest production of controversial film producer; Dickson Iroegbu – the Gay-themed movie titled ‘Law 58’, after he made known his reason for shooting it.
‘At the time, I was shooting the movie, most of my colleagues frowned at the project because it was rumour then that some of them were involved in the act. I thought it was time to take a stand, given the fact that I was once called a gay, just to discredit my personality… when the film is finally released into the market, they will be able to reconcile it with the Dickson Iroegbu they have known for several years. The world will also ascertain whether I’m a homosexual or not.’
The unifying reaction however is that the movie was borne out of the need to satisfy his selfish reasons.
‘Releasing a movie to change people’s perception about you won’t make a frigging difference’, a comment on a blog which published the story read.
‘He’s basically making this film for his own benefit and not really to condemn those in the act. If no one had accused him of being gay, he wouldn’t have felt the need to make an anti-gay movie, especially as the law concerning homosexuality hadn’t been passed’, another said.
Some others castigated him saying that the film director had certainly run out of ideas adding that research shows people are usually defensive of what they are guilty of. ‘This guy is gay, people always try to play defensive and camouflage when they want to hide who they really are .
Others questioned his motive, ‘Why focus on homosexuality, why not a movie about the suffering and starvation of Nigerian people instead of trying so hard to prove to the world that you are not gay’.
A composed Iroegbu says the movie is already finished and due for official release sometime this month of February, 2012.
