  • To have more children is not a crime-9ice

    Nigerian Afropop artiste, Abolore Akande a.k.a 9ice has debunked reports online stating that he is expecting his fifth child from another baby mama. Many of his fans online began trolling him calling him ‘Father Abraham’.

     

    In a recent chat with Punch, the singer said there is nothing wrong in having more children, while denying that he is expecting another child.

     

    He said: “The reports are not true that I am expecting my fifth child from another woman. I have no idea where the report came from, but the truth is that in Nigeria, especially in Yorubaland, there is an adage that says that you don’t count a man’s children for him.To have more children is not a crime, but the sad thing is that people would believe what they want to believe. I am currently in the studio working on new songs and I am also promoting my new song, ‘Ebami’, but no one would write about that. All they know is to peddle false news about me.”

    Outspoken Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola has reacted to the news that Nigeria Broadcasting Commission has barred ‘If and Fall’ by Davido, ‘Wo and Wavy level’ by Olamide and ‘Living Things’ by 9ice from being transmitted.

    Daramola opines that whether banned or not, people need to know the impact of the artistes songs to the society, and whether their children can learn from what they are singing.

    Hear her:”As much as I love these fantastic talented artists and I don’t have anything against them but 1we are Africans though our now has been taken care of, but what’s going to happen to our kids and the ones yet unborn, our future?

     

    “I don’t believe technological advancement should make us drop what we stand for. Whatever we do today we should always consider our tomorrow when doing them. ..Can your children relate with what you do now, what values are those songs impacting to our society?

     

    “When I was of a marriageable age and I brought a man home to my mum, she would ask me who he is, what he does for a living (even when it’s obvious he has money)what family he comes from and so on

     

    “We are fast losing our value system, We complain about our leaders and how corrupt they are but we also forget in a hurry that our leaders are a representation of what a society is and it starts with the mind”she said.

  • NBC debunks banning Olamide, 9ice, Davido’s songs

    Following prevalent reports that the National Broadcasting Commission had issued a statement banning the songs of Olamide, Davido and 9ice from being broadcast, the commission has debunked the viral reports, adding that it is not in the business of banning songs.

     

    Director of broadcast monitoring , Idachaba Armstrong, told newsmen that a ban notice of ‘Wo’ and ‘Wavy Level’ by Olamide, ‘Fall’ by Davido and ‘Living Things’ by 9ice did not originate from the NBC. Recall that the ban notice has been circulating online for a few days.

     

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

     

    “Nobody at NBC issued a statement to the effect. We can’t be issuing statements on every album released in the 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,”

     

    When asked If the songs are actually offensive, he said:” The songs are actually offensive.I have reliably gathered that some of those songs are actually offensive, regarding the lyrics. Some of these songs are for clubs.These stations that should practice self-regulation are lazy and unprofessional in their conduct. We will impose the necessary sanctions on the stations. If the stations contravene any of the broadcast code, they will be fined,” he said.

     

    Olamide on Tuesday took to Twitter, declaring that he did not intend to promote tobacco in his video.

  • Again! Olamide, Davido, others face NBC ban

    The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) has labelled five Nigerian songs as “Not to be Broadcasted.”

    The songs banned include: Davido’s “If” and “Fall”, Olamide‘s “Wo” and “Wavy Level“; and 9ice‘s “Living Things.”

    Recall that the Federal Ministry of Health had in a tweet on Friday said that the video to Olamide’s “Wo” is in violation of the Tobacco Control Act of 2015.

     

     

    In retrospect, this is not the first time Davido and Olamide, would be getting axed by the NBC .

    In 2015, Davido almost got into trouble with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), after they filed a case against him for promoting the use of drugs in ‘Fans Mi’. The singer was examined but later let off the hook.
