‘I might sue NBC over the ban of my song ‘This is Nigeria’ – Falz spits fire

Published

Falz who had reacted to the NBC ban on his song ‘This is Nigeria’ which they say contains vulgar words, has threatened to sue the agency a day after he shared a letter which revealed that a Radio Station in Jos was fined for playing the song.

The call for the song’s ban had first been made by MURIC, who claimed that some ladies in hijab were dancing Shaku Shaku and they believed it was against the Islamic religion, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. However announcing the song’s ban this week, the NBC said;

This is Nigeria, look how we living now. Everybody be criminal,” stating that it made the song vulgar and it was in contravention of Section 3.6.1 and 3.13.2.2 of its constitution.

Falz who disclosed that he felt it was ridiculous for the commission to ban the song, argued that it was not a vulgar song but a socially conscious piece of art which addresses the current issues in the country.

In his Interview with Saturday Beats, Falz said;

“There is absolutely nothing vulgar about the song and I think it is ridiculous that the Nigerian Broadcast Commission singled out the least vulgar line in the song and ascribed it to be the reason they banned the song. It is a very simple and clean song. The only thing is that I was very blunt about the way I talk about things. I do not know maybe some messages in the song hit them and that is the real reason they banned the song. The line was, ‘This is Nigeria, look how we living now. Everybody be criminal.’ If they ban this song, then I do not understand them because that song is definitely not a vulgar song.”

He also stated that he does not know if there was any conspiracy to ensure that the song never enjoyed airwaves, but he was aware that the song could have hit some nerves of certain people. Falz added that his lawyers will be investigating why his song was banned.

“I do not know if the fact that some group wanted me to retract the song is linked with this new development but I know that there were a lot of messages in the song and it is hitting a lot of people in the wrong places and that is what is making them react in that manner. However, there was absolutely no basis for the NBC to ban that song. I am going to have to write to them through my lawyers to find out what is really going on. When I find out the reason behind the ban, I could ask them to lift it if need be and if they do not adhere to my request, I might have to seek legal redress,” he said.

‘I Cry Because of the Burdens People Carry’ – Pastor Jerry Eze Opens Up on Emotional Prayer Sessions

Renowned Nigerian televangelist and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has revealed the deep emotional weight behind his tearful prayer sessions, sparking conversations among his followers.

Speaking during an interview to mark the fifth anniversary of his popular online prayer platform, NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations), Pastor Eze explained that his tears are not mere theatrics but a reflection of his overwhelming compassion for the countless people who seek divine intervention.

“The Bible says we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,” he stated. “I have always known myself to be a very compassionate person, and coming into ministry, I realized that compassion is an inevitable tool for the miraculous.”

According to him, his inbox is flooded daily with heartbreaking messages from people facing unimaginable hardships, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He recounted a particularly devastating story: “How do you make this kind of prayer? You see a woman who lost her husband, tried to remarry, lost the second one, and after everything, tried to marry a third time only to lose him too. How do you not feel that?”

Pastor Jerry Eze’s tearful prayers have become a signature aspect of his ministry, drawing millions to his online services. His explanation has further solidified his reputation as a pastor deeply moved by the struggles of his congregation, with many testifying to miraculous turnarounds after his intercessions.

While some critics have questioned his emotional displays, his followers see them as a sign of genuine empathy and spiritual burden. As NSPPD continues to grow globally, Pastor Eze remains committed to his calling, declaring, “What God cannot do does not exist!”

Governor Monday Okpebholo aide condemn killing in Uromi…..

No amount of pressure, frustration, or disagreement should ever justify the taking of another person’s life. Life is sacred, and the act of unlawfully ending someone else’s existence goes against the fundamental principles of justice, morality, and human dignity.

With that being said, the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East where about eight person of the Hausa community where allegedly identified to be kidnappers beaten and burnt alive, is deeply condemnable. It is disheartening to witness such acts of violence within the uromi community, where peace and unity should be the guiding principles. The behavior exhibited during this unfortunate event was not only unnecessary but also unacceptable, as it disregarded the values of justice and respect for human life.

In times like this, we must remind ourselves that violence only leads to pain, loss, and division. As a people, we must strive for peaceful resolutions to any issues that may arise from our community and uphold the virtues of patience, understanding, and dialogue. No grievance, no matter how severe, should push anyone to commit such a grievous act.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the departed. May their soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.

May God heal the land, restore peace, and guide us towards a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect.

Daniel Eromosele Aka Pikolo,
Chief Protocol,
Edo State Government.

The drama between the two musicians escalated after Speed Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming show, only to be met with rejection and insults. Portable, known for his outspoken nature, accused Speed Darlington of using his name for clout, insisting that his appearance fee was N20 million—an amount he claimed Speed Darlington couldn’t afford.

Following Portable’s refusal, Speed Darlington took to social media to express his frustration, stating that he regretted ever extending the invitation. He also revisited an old incident where Portable allegedly suffered a beating from an associate, vowing to release the footage as a form of public humiliation.

However, the feud took a darker turn when Speed Darlington shared a shocking video of himself negotiating the price of a coffin for Portable. In the clip, he was seen bargaining with an undertaker while directing his message at the Zazoo crooner. The video was captioned:

“@portablebaeby are you ready to die for not coming to my show April 13th?”

The post has since triggered widespread backlash, with many calling out Speed Darlington for taking their online banter too far. Some fans have dismissed the stunt as mere entertainment, while others have condemned it as insensitive and a potential threat.

As the feud continues to unfold, all eyes are on Portable’s response, with many wondering whether he will retaliate or simply ignore the provocation. Meanwhile, fans of both artists have taken to social media to share their opinions, with some urging them to settle their differences amicably.
