The National Broadcasting
Commission, NBC, has banned Nigerian Musician, Falz’ song, ‘This is Nigeria.’
This was disclosed in a letter
from the NBC dated 6th August 2018 and signed by its Zonal Director, Igomu
Onoja.
According to NBC, a part of the
song – “This is Nigeria; look how we living now everybody be criminal” has been
tagged “vulgar” and the song is now declared “unfit for radio”.
Also banned from being aired was
singer, Wande Cole’s song: ‘Iskaba’ alongside Olamide’s ‘See Mary, See Jesus’.
Recall that MuslimRight Concern(MURIC) had requested Falz to take down “This is Nigeria” video
over some “offensive” scenes which, they claimed, ridicules their religion.
This sparked controversy online
as some Muslims criticised MURIC for not giving an ultimatum to Boko Haram and
murderous herdsmen.
However, Falz, in response, said
MURIC’s allegation of a hate video is baseless as the girls in hijab dancing
‘Shaku Shaku’ in the video symbolizes entertainment being a distraction from
everything that is happening in the society.
