Controversy As Buhari’s FG Bans Olamide,Davido And 9ice

Following its recent controversy, the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, on Tuesday, has banned Olamide’s new record ‘Wo’, from airplay.

The record is one of five songs which have been tagged by the NBC, as “Not to be Broadcasted.”

The Commission released the list, saying it has banned the 5 songs from being aired on all local radio and TV stations.

The songs are: Olamide‘s ‘Wo’ and ‘Wavy Level’, Davido‘s ‘Fall’ and ‘If (Remix)’, and 9ice‘s ‘Living Things’.

There has been no official reason why the songs were blacklisted.

Recall however, that 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.

Tweeting the information via its official Twitter page, the Ministry of Health claimed that the video which features ghetto scenes in which youths are seen smoking, encourages second-hand smoking.
