We Did Not Ban Olamide, Davido, 9ice's Songs - NBC

As opposed to the news of Olamide's WO, Wavy Level, Davido's FALL, 9ice's Living Things being banned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the commission has made it known it did not ban these song neither did they issue a statement to that effect.
Director of broadcast monitoring, Idachaba Armstrong told TheCable that the commission has nothing to do with the news of the ban.


“First of all, NBC is a commission, not a corporation.

“Nobody at NBC issued a statement to the effect. We can’t be issuing a statement on every album released in his country. The broadcaster has the responsibility to do the needful.
“NBC does not ban songs, we don’t have any business with the artistes. It is left for NBC to tell stations to ensure the songs and videos are fit for broadcast before putting them on air.”
“The whole idea of offensive vulgar lyrics. It is the responsibility of broadcasters to ensure they don’t come on air,” he said.

“They are supposed to do what is called gate-keeping and they should have editorial control over their content but broadcasters now carelessly air songs without exercising that editorial discretion.
“They abdicate that responsibility and then expect us to start chasing them.”
