About a week ago, the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) banned about 18 songs from Nigerian and foreign acts for being too raunchy for public broadcast.
While most of the songs have raked in money and fame for the originators before the ban, others have gone on to be street anthem.
The NBC ban was met by criticism from many entertainers including Nigerian king of comedy Alibaba and rapper Naeto C, whose Tony Montana was banned for depicting violence. There were, however, others who welcomed it.
Going by its criteria of vulgar lyrics, promoting sexual obscenity and overall raunchiness as reasons for the ban, it, however, appears that NBC may have closed its eyes to some songs while targeting others.
Here are some songs that escaped the NBChamer:
69 Missed Calls by Jah Bless, Chinko Ekun, Lil Kesh, Olamide, CDQ and Reminisce
If this song could escape the NBC ban, one needs to ask the corporation their definition of vulgar and sensual. The song is about women who hook up with celebrities. Among listeners, the song is considered rather wild and if the lyrics were not bad enough, it was accompanied by an obscene video.
Crazy by Seyi Shay ft Wizkid: Lyrically, the song is tame but the video features a prominent scene where Sey Shay grabs Wizkid’s crotch.
German Juice by Cynthia Morgan
The sexually suggestive German Juice was complemented with a video featuring well-endowed women shaking their stuff.
Ladi by Phyno, Olamide and Lil Kesh
One needs to consult Olamide, Phyno and Lil Kesh about what they were thinking before they recorded this highly vulgar song. The track is filled with suggestive lyrics from the beginning to the end.
Fine Boy by L.A.X ft Olamide
The Starboy act in his latest song with the YBNL boss instead of displaying what a fine boy is chose instead to portray women in various states of undress.
Early Momo by Patoranking
The Girlie O singer openly expressed his desire for oral sex every morning on Dj Hazan’s Early Momo. His explicit lyrics however went under the NBC radar.
