Falz reacted to ban on his 'This is Nigeria' trending music video

Popular musician, Falz just reacted to the ban on his song ‘This is Nigeria’ which they say contains vulgar words and says he want to sue NBC just a day after he heard that a Radio Station in Jos was fined for playing the song. MURIC who claimed the song should be banned because of the ladies in hijab were dancing shaku shaku and they said it was against the Islam 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 ...

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT A WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE HELD AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COMPLEX ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2018

The speech as obtained by Adoga Saint Blog, without blemishes. Read below as been itemized: 1. It is a matter of record that yesterday, lawmakers and staff of the National Assembly were prevented from entering the National Assembly Complex by heavily armed security agents of the Department of State Services (DSS). All entries to the Complex were blocked as early as 6.30 am. The National Assembly, the seat of democracy in Nigeria, was under lockdown. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives were prevented from gaining access. 2. The ensuring standoff was a show of shame that played itself out over several hours in full view of the country. In no circumstances should this have happened. And we as a nation reaped the bitter fruits instantaneously, as evident in media images relayed around the world, images that shame us as a democratic nation. The siege was also an act of cowardice by those seeking to carry out an illegal impeachment of the leadership of the Senate...

NIGERIAN OPPOSITION VICTIMS OF NAIVETY,GREED AND BETRAYAL.

By Egbara Emmanuel Ikaba Nigeria has failed to progress from the illusion of independence to the reality of freedom because of betrayal; firstly by the then corruption power politics, and lately by the naive and treacherous former opposition. This is the tragedy of our political development. Independence was cheaper but freedom will be much more expensive as it is now. The fight for independence had clear targets but now the targets for purposeful governance are hidden in the corrupt and treacherous black hearts of APC led government. In APC as a political party one only remained a hero as long as they pay homage to Buhari. This was the critical test. Those that remained for long accepted money for their loyalty and pledged never to question Buhari’s dictatorship. They were as prosperous as the effort they put in suppressing the people. Those that changed their minds were quickly silenced. Those that supported Buhari lasted longer. For someone to claim they were not...

BUHARI/IDIAGBON LED MILITARY JUNTA: A CASE STUDY OF DR. SAM MBAKWE LEADERSHIP LEGACY

~Ogar, Emmanuel Oko Against the many lies given by the barrack's boys for expelling the second republic political leaders under the superintendent of Alhaji Shehu Shagari of being corrupt; the whole water from River Niger cannot watch them clean of the evil dirt they brought on us as a nation. Some governors in that dispensation were clever. They were innovative and visionary in their leadership approach. They understood the essence of governance. They knew that good name was better than riches. Though, some were corrupt. Others weren't. My few months of sojourning in Imo state, I've been interacting with people and visiting places to be informed socially and politically. Those I mingled with, were actively involved in politics then. One erstwhile governor that his names rings like Monday bell is Dr. Sam Mbakwe. Mbakwe was a great man of extraordinary prudence. A native of Obowo LGA and by extension, my in-law. In less than four years, available record shows that...
