Eedris Abdulkareem’s new song Tell Your Papa has been banned by Nigeria's National Broadcasting Commission for its political criticism of President Bola Tinubu. The song urges Seyi Tinubu to address the nation’s challenges. The ban has sparked debates over freedom of speech and censorship in Nigerian media.
Eedris Abdulkareem's latest song, Tell Your Papa, has sparked controversy after being banned by Nigeria’s National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). The song criticizes President Bola Tinubu's administration, urging Seyi Tinubu, the president's son, to speak to his father about the country's worsening conditions. In the song, Abdulkareem calls attention to the rising insecurity, corruption, and unfulfilled promises plaguing Nigeria. The song's pointed message led NBC to issue a circular, declaring it inappropriate for broadcast, citing its violation of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
The song's release coincides with comments made by Seyi Tinubu, who described his father as "the greatest president in Nigeria’s history," fueling further public debate. Abdulkareem’s bold criticism resonated with many Nigerians who share similar frustrations, yet it also triggered the regulatory body’s swift response.
In an official statement, NBC urged media houses to refrain from airing the song, stressing its objectionable nature. This move has ignited a wider conversation about freedom of expression and the role of media in the country’s political discourse.
