A few hours ago, the Nigerian Broadcasting
Corporation came out with a list of Not-To-Be-
Broadcast songs and the list comprised Wizkid’s ‘The
Matter’ and Phyno’s ‘Man of the year’.
Movie producer and critic, Charles Novia reacted to the
action via the article below, enjoy:
On social media, a predictable furore has been
generated by the NBC’s action. Fans and friends of
the concerned artists have been expressing their angst
over the ban with some asking what yardstick was used
in placing such a ban. As amusing and sometimes
annoying one finds some of those comments, which I
think stem from an emotive viewpoint rather than
logical, I have to pity such commentators because I
believe they actually are the ones the songs have
corrupted in the first place.
In Today’s entertainment sector, sex is
king. The more sex the music videos suggest,
the better for the artistes, music video
directors and even the stations. I have
repeatedly screamed at various interactive
music fora that these days, when watching
the Nigerian television channels either on
terrestrial or satellite bouquets, one cannot
differentiate between the lewd music videos
and soft porn!
