I thought they have resolved this long ago..."This is Nigeria where everybody be criminal"...The statement get as e be ooo..
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt's banned on conventional radio, nobody is asking you not to hear it.
Fela's songs were banned for the same reasons.
Lyrical content that doesn't promote Nigerian values.
And before you say the government should focus on other things, that's what NBC is for; regulating broadcast media.
Let other agencies/parastatals face their angles too.
Me i knew they will ban it cos our name NIGERIA e get as e b
DeleteFalz has already made and is still making his money, passed across his message and even received both local and international recognition.
DeleteHe's still getting views and money on youtube. So they shld keep banning.
Order from above. Buhari is a disaster!!
ReplyDeleteBull...
ReplyDeleteBut Buhari went abroad to call Nigerian youths lazy huh?
The music has been released and the message has been passed.
I've it on my phone and I will keep playing it.
Why the ban? Nigeria is truely messed up in all sectors. This is really NIigeria
ReplyDeletebut that song speaks the truth about Nigeria
ReplyDeleteNa wa o, me no be criminal ...why generalize everybody to be criminal
ReplyDeleteAm sure you collect eguje in your office yet you see your self as saint is alright
DeleteMy problem is not in the banning but why haven't they fix the country on the right path? Why haven't they start addressing those issues on that music?
ReplyDeleteYou can restrict it from airwaves but what about the CD's being played by individual? Has it stop people from hearing the truth. Nigerian worries shouldn't be on that music rather on how to improve its dented image before the international communities.
That statement defines nigeria.yes i said that.from our leaders down to an ordinary man.
ReplyDeletethis is pure wickedness and all thanks to muric o ha nyuri ihe n'esi.
criminals hate to be called criminals.
Everything is wrong in this country
ReplyDeleteStupid set of people. ....i have it on my phone
If they like ban it..... The message is passed already
Yes Nigeria is messed up & all imprintable names you can tag to it, but do you know what a song like this speaks to advanced countries?
ReplyDeleteDo you know the discrimination you'd face outside by mere mentioning ure a Nigerian?
When you apply for VISA and ure denied or put under a microscope for 2yrs before granting u 2weeks stay, you'd cry why oh why!!! We shouldnt air our dirty laundry further, the stench goes to high heavens already.... even in your family there are secrets u wouldnt let out. Who knows what goes on in North Korea????!!! The citizens dont even have access to internet, the last time i checked.
Just like I said above, nothing wrong or bad in that act but why are the things affecting national unity and good image not address? If they feel pained about it then they should work on the criminality affecting the country image.
Delete& they wonder why i fly with Ghana passport.
DeleteThank you.
DeleteIf its not for social media and the "trump-hatred" that's full blown, you would almost think the USA was a land filled with milk and honey flowing literally on the streets.
Most Nigerians won't read that letter but start making irrelevant statements.
"Everybody Na criminal" is not a right thing to say no matter how you look at it.
Na hausa people no like the song n
ReplyDeleteHas Buhari started distributing the 5k. ..it seems the issue has Been forgotten
ReplyDeleteTo late, we've heard the song, watched the video, downloaded both and we can all relate with the message in the song...NBC ntooor
ReplyDeleteyou could relate youre a criminal?
DeleteWhy the song? It's a message. Fix the decay. This is really a sad development. Haaaaaaaa God save Nigeria. I really need to work so my children can live this country fassst
ReplyDeletemy children will leave this country oh... as you want urs to live here.
DeleteLMAO @ anon 10:07. Mine will LEAVE this country oh... Hehe
DeleteIt's just a song. A message. Are we scared of messages?
ReplyDeleteA wise Italian said to me "Loose lips sinks ship!.. he was right!
ReplyDeleteSuch generalizarion can even put away potential investors, & we wouldnt even know its a mere 5mins song that put a nail to the coffin, we'd blame Buhari again.
Falz spoke the simple truth
ReplyDeleteThe song "THIS IS NIGERIA", hitherto depicts Nigeria a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteI understand why the song was banned, it portrays Nigeria in a negative light to the world, therfore investors, tourist might not want to invest in a country like nigeria.
Dubai never reports negative news about their country because they knows that their economy depends on the revenues generated from tourism.
Falz shouldn't have generalized "Everybody be criminal".
What is here to tourist? Nigeria should get itself out of the shit hole it’s sunk itself in.
DeleteAnon 10;43 where is your brain? Up your ass? Did u miss the investors part she talked about?
DeleteTourism was an example... una brain sha
Fal'z must not say that all Nigerians are criminals , thesame thing buhari did in london,nd Nigeria youths were all hungry,true be told ,the lyrics are really bad, nd tomorow if falz travle abroad, nd they treat him like a crimimal ,then he will start crying wovles..you have already told them Nigerians are all crimimals..so? I still prefer wizkid...he lyrics might not be 100% good ,but he is far better,compare to some ofthese our artist.
ReplyDeleteHave it on my phone,will play it thru.out this August...
ReplyDeleteThey should fix the country not banning the music.
Fix the rot in the system and stop focusing on musical lyrics that speaks nothing but the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe song is saying the truth but it portrays nigeria negatively to the outside world hence the ban
ReplyDeletePlease can they also regulate most of the rubbish our politicians says on international and national broadcasts?
ReplyDeleteFalz did not lie abeg.
ReplyDeleteMake next year come make i port abeg, the things i hear happening here in Nigeria everyday is just too much.
Nigeria my country.
ReplyDeleteThe message has been past, ban or not
ReplyDeleteJesuuuuuuu!!!
DeleteAbeg add "tense" to the past,,, lol 😂
Hmmmm gullible NBC the message has already been passed Across..
ReplyDeleteNo one understand that part where he said "everybody na criminal" when asked, he explained that every Nigerian is seen as criminal everywhere they go, which is true
