The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), has barned a newly released song, “Tell Your Papa” by a Nigerian popular rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem from being aired on the Nigerian radio and television stations citing its “objectionable nature.”
According to a memo dated April 9, 2025, and issued by the Coordinating Director of Broadcast Monitoring, Susan Obi, the commission declared the track Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB) under Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
This section prohibits content deemed inappropriate, offensive, or in breach of public decency from being aired on Nigerian broadcast platforms.
NBC observed that while the song has gained momentum across social media platforms, its lyrical content fails to meet the standards of responsible broadcasting.
The statement titled, “Restriction on broadcasting ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem,’ read, “The National Broadcasting Commission has identified the song ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem, currently trending on social media, as content deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to its objectionable nature.
