NBC BLATANTLY REFUTES BAN ON FIVE NIGERIAN SONGS INCLUDING OLAMIDE'S 'WO'!

Last week the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) released a list of songs to be stopped from airing on Nigerian broadcast stations and tagged them 'Not to be Broadcasted'.

On the list were Davido's Fall and If (Remix), Olamide Wavy Level and Wo and 9ice's Living Things. The ban which allows for the above listed songs to be played on
mobile devices, streamed online, nightclubs and in homes.

In a recent press release by the organization it blatantly refuted what it termed as reports making the rounds that, that it banned five songs from airing across the nation.

“First of all, the NBC does not ban songs. We only insist that broadcasters exercise a sense of responsibility in the kind of content they allow to go on air. So even if the NBC has placed such a restriction on any of these songs, it does not constitute a ban.
If you look at the report, you would know there was something fishy about it because the NBC is the National Broadcasting Commission and not a “Corporation” as being reported by the media outlets disseminating the news.”
