NBC: Trying to Stay Relevant? (Part 3)

In 2013, NBC also banned 8 musical videos and songs like Wizkid's 'Caro', Olamide's 'Stupid Love', Phyno's 'Ghost Mode', 'Gobe' by Davido, 'Voice of the Street' by Olamide and much more.

Dear readers, kindly bear in mind that I am not encouraging lewd sayings but this I must say;
(I)  Sometimes, it seems like NBC is 'being paid'. What happens to placing a ban on Tiwa Savage's 'Wanted' video? What about Ducan Mighty featuring Olamide 'Blow am'? Olamide's 'Story for the gods.'

(II) Maybe NBC should start banning musical promo wallpapers like MC Galaxy's 'Suku' and stop irrelevances.

(III) Or maybe NBC should stop reading meanings into the title of the songs. If NBC wants to claim 'what is  Shoki?' Then I'd say what the hell is 'Sekem?' What is 'Sho le?' What is 'Shekini ni ni?' Or what is 'Doro'? - Someone help tell DonJazzy he hasn't convincingly explain the term 'Doro'.

(IV) NBC should note that most of these celebrities enjoy the attention naija musicians give their selling points and them. Who cares why Oliver Twist was banned? 'Face like tiwa, booty like Toolz' in Sean Tizzle's 'Sho le'.  . . Why give a damn NBC when Toolz no complain? *just saying*

Dear NBC, free our artiste, if you can't  do a better job of regulating these songs before they turn viral online, on radios, tv stations and in our ears, stop disturbing our headlines and if you don't ban a single song in a year, we no go talk say you no sabi your job.

Finally in Don Jazzy's words, ". . . We're kinda used to it now. Ijebu garri no dey do advert but e dey sell.".  . As for me, 'shoki ni shoki.  .'

What do you think readers? Kindly make your opinions known in your comments.

EGO!

  5. I think NBC should just improve and stop being a nuisance. Let them state concrete reasons for the ban of a song and you are right, if they want to ban at all, it should be before the song becomes viral!

  9. More like what is hiphop/rap without lewdness? Just saying, all these artistes just know how to tone it down more than each other! Make NBC just try and ban those they can and those that deserves it and not irrelevancies. Staying glued to my Sinach all the way *lol* #Between, your blog looks promising #Don't get tired or discouraged.
