The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has banned media houses from playing Eedris Abdulkareem’s latest song.
The song, titled Tell Your Papa, is a criticism of this current administration. In it, Eedris directed Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, to speak to his father about the worsening state of the country.
In Tell Your Papa, Abdulkareem sings, “Seyi, tell your papa country hard. Tell your papa people dey dîe. Tell your papa this one don pass jagajaga.”
“Seyi, how far? I swear your papa no try. Too much empty promises. On behalf of Nigerians, take our message to him; kîdnappers dey kill Nigerians.
“Seyi, try travel by road without your security make you feel the pains of fellow Nigerians. You dey fly private jets, insecurity no be your problem,” he continues singing.
The National Broadcasting Commission has now released a circular to media houses preventing them from playing the song.
