Nigerians abroad jam to Eedris Abdulkareem’s ‘Tell your papa’ after NBC ban
Some Nigerians abroad have sparked reactions online after a video of them jamming to Eedris Abdulkarem’s Tell Your Papa which was banned by NBC.
Recall that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) officially banned Nigerian radio and television stations from airing the trending song “Tell Your Papa” by veteran rapper Eedris Abdulkareem, citing violations of broadcast decency standards.
In a memo dated April 9, 2025, signed by the Coordinating Director of Broadcast Monitoring, Susan Obi, the commission classified the song as Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB) under Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
This section bars materials considered “inappropriate, offensive, or in breach of public decency” from being transmitted on public airwaves.
However, it seems some Nigerians have turned a deaf ear to the banning of the track b the veteran rapper, Eedris.
A video of some Nigerians jammng to the song while having a fun time together has popped up on the internet. The group of men were seen dancing and singing along.
