Nigeria has banned “Tell Your Papa,” a sound track that criticizes the government from being played on air.
The song which was sung by Eedris Abdulkareem slammed President Bola Tinubu and his administration for the current hardship the country was facing.
The track went further to urge his influential son, Seyi, to let his father know “people are dying” through hardship and insecurity and there “is hunger” in the country.
The National Broadcast Commission (NBC), which issues licenses and regulates the industry, through a letter ordered the track not to be played, saying “it violates the country’s broadcast code.”
It said Tell Your Papa’s content was “inappropriate” and “objectionable” adding that it falls short of public decency standards.
Released earlier in the week to remind the president about his numerous promises to transform the Nigerian economy.
The song has gained a lot of attention on social media and has sparked debate among the Nigerians regarding the economic and security situation in the country.
