Falz Finally Reacts To NBC Ban Of His Song ‘This is Nigeria’ - NEST TV

Nigerian musician, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has reacted to the ban placed on his song, ‘This is Nigeria’, by the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC.

NEST TV had reported that the NBC in a letter on Thursday, declared as “unfit for radio” a part of the song – “This is Nigeria; look how we living now everybody be criminal”.

Recalls that the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) had requested Falz to take down “This is Nigeria” video over some “offensive” scenes which, they claimed, ridiculed their religion.

This sparked controversy online as some Nigerians criticised MURIC for not giving an ultimatum to Boko Haram and murderous herdsmen.

In reaction, the rapper had only laughed off the accusation, posting a copy of the memo  with the caption: “This is Nigeria, look how we are living now, everybody be criminal” is apparently a vulgar line. 

The comments that followed had shown the shock of many on the news of the ban despite the wide acceptance of the song since its release nationally and internationally.
