The National Broadcasting Corporation has banned five Nigerian songs, saying they are not fit for broadcast.
The songs are Olamide‘s “Wo” and “Wavy Level“; Davido‘s “Fall” and “If (Remix)“; and 9ice‘s “Living Things.”
The Federal Ministry of Health had in a tweet on Friday, August 18, 2017 said that the video to Olamide’s “Wo” is in violation of the Tobacco Control Act 2015.

Several people have also raised eyebrows about 9ice’s Living things, saying it glorified fraudsters. But 9ice denied the allegation, saying the song was only misunderstood.
No reasons were given by the NBC for the ban yet.
