nairaland mods are tired

NBC should answer us one thing and one thing only.

Can it vouch that none of its staff members have not at one point or the other danced/nodded their head to Olamide's "Wo" song before?

Less than 24 hours after the National Broadcasting Commission banned one of his recent songs, Wo, among others, from being played on the airwaves, popular rapper, Olamide Adedeji, has said that he never intended to cause harm to music fans with the song.

The rapper, popularly called Olamide, on Tuesday tweeted, “No intentions of promoting tobacco to get people killed. I love my people, I love my country. One love, one Nigeria.”

The NBC, on Tuesday, placed a ban on works by three of Nigeria’s top level music artistes for an alleged violation of its rules and regulations.

It named Olamide’s Wo and Wavi Level; a remix of Davido’s If and 9ice’s Living Things as the culprits in a current list of banned songs and music videos that it released to the public.

Although the commission did not give specific reasons for banning the songs, the decision may have been influenced by a recent reaction from the Federal Ministry of Health to the music video of Olamide’s new song.

Last Friday, in a message posted on Twitter, the ministry kicked against the video of Wo, released a few days ago and described the content as contravening the Tobacco Control Act of 2015.

The Ministry of Health also noted that the video contained scenes showing youths of different ages openly smoking substances believed to be either cigarettes or narcotics and concluded that such scenes could encourage second-hand smoking among underage children anywhere in the country.

However, this is the third time that the NBC has brought down its hammer on a popular song by Olamide.

The last time was 2016, when two other songs by the rapper were slammed for what the commission described as “obscene and indecent” lyrics.

Also, before the ban on 9ice’s Living Things, the song had been fingered as the subject of a statement by fellow rapper Falz, which urged Nigerian musicians in general to be mindful of the kind of messages that they passed to the public in their songs.

Falz had appeared to be genuinely concerned about the impact of such messages on the youth. He pointed out that artistes who saw nothing wrong about glorifying Internet fraud, drugs and other anti-social behaviour were not doing the society any good.

Psalm45 (4) - This is not entirely true, is it?

nairavsdollars:
Before a song is released into the society, i expect NBC officials to listen to it first and then decide if it is suitable or not...but here they ban after such songs have enjoyed massive downloads and play at clubs. Common sense is not common in Nigeria

I'm not sure they have the right to ban people from singing about what they like. The best they can do is to prevent it been aired.

Rubbish! The so banned music's are already in circulation, NBC must be sleeping when the songs was released to the air.

kokoye:
NBC cant ban the songs on the internet so...more views for the songs.

Who listens to radio or watch local TV nowadays anyway?

Many persons do. Don't forget many children reside in rural areas

NBC is Baning, Nigerians are Fajjying!!!!

. if u know the number of songs released in Nigeria per week u won't be talking like this. truth is they can only censor what they see and if they don't see them then that's another thing coz there are a lot of upcoming artist who blab all this stuff and more and yet their videos don't reach anybody. u can't expect NBC to be disturbed with all those people.

Op love reading old news
Wo!!! Ke
After which Olamide don release Science student.

We are still using a moral and conservative compass to curtail economic growth. Songs that have the potential to contribute to the economy through their purchase in one form or the other have been truncated. Economic development did not come to the countries we call developed today until the hand of conservative aristocrats/religious authority waned off. What government t should only do is regulate and provide a platform for private capital and economic growth through the initiation of policies that will facilitate more growth.
There were great civilizations in the Arab world way before the Europeans knew what was called technology, but it died off the day they started the journey towards an ideology(Islam) that has a disdain for everything outside of the scope of Islam and that’s why a lot of these conservatively religious countries are still in the 14th century. Innovation & modern technology are not actually a monopoly that western countries enjoy but man finding solutions to tasks that are deemed repetitive or less efficient. Algebra, Science, and astronomy have great roots in Arabia but Islam killed those things off.

I don’t even know if I have diverged from the topic. Anyway my 1 kobo for today. Its Friday!!

this news is very old. pls post something recent.
