It is only in Nigeria that a song is banned after it has become a household song.
Wizkid's
'The matter' which contains lyrics like "... 20 man shall fall that
day if you cross my lane ... Oya back to the matter open and close..."
was considered explicit by NBC.
Also Phyno's Man of the year which
has lyrics like "...oburu na okwero iba tee ya vaseline(if e no gree
enter apply vaseline)..." was also considered explicit.
Thus, both songs were banned from Radio air play by NBC.
Nigerian
Broadcasting Commission has banned Wizkid’s Back to the matter and
Phyno’s Man of the year. BeatFM OAP Gbemi Olateru Olagbegi reported this
when she tweeted about it. In the past the commision had banned May-D’s
Soundtrack, Maye Hunta’s Ekatte, Femi Kuti’s Bang Bang Bang due their
suggestive lewd lyrical content.
See Gbemi’s tweets about it below.
