NBC Fines Radio Station For Airing Falz, Olamide, Wande Coal’s Songs

The Nigerian broadcasting commission (NBC) has fined a radio station in Jos for playing Falz, Olamide, and Wande Coal’s song which they claim is vulgar.

NBC, wrote a letter to the radio station informing them that Falz’ ‘This is Nigeria’, ‘look how we living now’, ‘everybody be criminal’ lyrics are vulgar and for playing the song, they will be sanctioned.

The radio station was fined with the sum of N100,000 Naira for also playing Olamide’s song titled “See Mary, See Jesus.” The letter says Mary and Jesus are regarded as sacred by the Christian faith and as such contravenes section 4.3.1e.

The station was also cautioned for playing Wande Coal’s ‘Iskaba’ with the lyrics, “Girl you dey make me kolo, shaking the ass like kolo” which NBC says is vulgar.

NBC has asked the station to pay the fine of 100,000 Naira within two weeks, else they will be made to face stiffer sanctions.
