Friday, April 11, 2025 - Singer, Eedris Abdulkareem has reacted to the decision of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to bar radio and television stations from airing his trending song “Tell Your Papa''.
The
commission had in a memo sent to broadcasting corporations, declared the track
‘Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB)’ under Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting
Code.
Despite the
song gaining traction on social media, the commission said its lyrical content
violates responsible broadcasting standards.
Reacting to
this development, Eedri in a post shared on his Instagram page, said the Tinubu
administration is “going on record as one of the most insensitive, vindictive
and grossly maleficent administration ever to preside over the affairs of
Nigeria,” adding that “constructive criticism is always deemed as a big crime
by his government.”

‘’NBC JUST BANNED MY NEW SINGLE "TELL YOUR
PAPA"
It's obvious that in Nigeria, Truth and constructive
criticism is always deemed as a big crime by the government, and this present
government led by President Bola Tinubu, is now going on record as one of the
most insensitive, vindictive and grossly maleficent administration ever to
preside over the affairs of Nigeria.
Just under 2 years of his presidency, and the results are
just frighteningly abysmal from all fronts. And this is a fact, known by all
Nigerians, irrespective of religion, tribe and political affiliations, except
for the few happy slaves grovelling for crumps from their paymaster's table!
The attached letter has been sent to all broadcast houses
in Nigeria, instructing them to shield the government by hiding the candle
under the table.
Well, I have travelled this road before as this is
reminiscent of the ban of my song "Jaga Jaga", by the Obasanjo
administration 21 years ago!
Any wonder why Nigeria hasn't made impactful strides all
these years?
"The Conscience is an open wound, only the Truth can
heal it"
Aluta Continua!!!''
