Playing violent video games could be fun for and among children but it also has 
negative implications when they play for long. These negative impacts are 
sometimes translated into violent behaviours that could be very devastating. The 
study is divided into four parts and these parts discuss the issue of violent video 
games on minors in Nigeria. The introductory part discusses the historical 
developments of video games and the contemporary nature of violent video games. 
The first chapter discusses various literature related to the restriction of video games 
and how these restrictions affect the behaviours of these minors. The study outlines 
the impacts that parents have on censorship and restrictions of how their children 
play violent video games in Nigeria. The findings of the study suggest that the 
strictness of rules and restrictions regarding censorship have a positive impacts on 
the behaviour of minors who play video games. The study also depicts the attitude of 
parents towards different restriction set on activities connected to violent video 
games. Another result of the discovered was that violent video games have
