The National Broadcasting Commission has banned some popular Nigerian songs from airing on radio stations.
The songs which include “This is Nigeria” by Falz, ‘Iskaba by Wande Cole’s and Olamide’s ‘See Mary, See Jesus’ was pronounced unfit.
This was disclosed in a letter from the NBC dated 6th August 2018 and addressed to the CEO of JODAJ Global Communications Limited, the parent company of Jay FM.

The letter which was signed by its Zonal Director, Igomu Onoja, said the aforementioned songs were “vulgar” and contained “indecent lyrics.”
Recall that Muslim Right Concern had demanded that Falz take down “This is Nigeria” video over some “hijab” wearing dancers which they claimed could brew religious and ethnic crisis.
MURIC also condemned “a character that dressed like a Fulani man, who suddenly abandoned his traditional guitar and beheaded a man” featured in the video.
The group also alleged that the video is spiteful and intended to denigrate Islam and Muslims.
