NBC BANS OBSCENE VIDEOS

Due to incessant airplay ban of videos of some popular Nigerian artistes by National broadcasting commission (NBC), it is crucial and imperative that concerns should be raised as this not only cripples the fastest growing industry in Africa, but  also discourages up coming artistes.However, several youths have been taken off the streets by music, making them not just rich and famous, but relevant to mentoring other youths who have lost hope. The effect is not only felt by the industry, but worst hit is the artiste, who perhaps must have relied on that hit as a source of financial freedom. This is nothing but  strangulation of creativity.
Some few years back, same NBC banned the music of a "used to be" popular artistes, KONGA, as well as Zulezoo due to the so called profanity in their songs, ever since these aforementioned artistes have found it difficult to bounce back, reason is they were busy promoting their hit songs, instead of recording other songs. But this should not be the business of NBC.
The question is what are the parameters used in classifying a song as profane?  what is the mental state of the NBC official who listens or monitors? what is the age of the official?
We are in a youthful dispensation, NBC should employ the young at heart to appraise these songs and videos. Kill profanity and not creativity. Below are some of the Videos banned by NBC.

1)           Tillaman Ft Vector       -        Koma roll – contains erotic and              

                                                          suggestive dance steps.

                                                without a beach scene.

 

3)          D’ Prince                       -        Take Banana contains erotic, vulgar

                                                words and suggestive dance styles.

We cant assume they dislike the industry or  Nigerian artistes, but regulate the vulgar and unethical contents of most releases by our musicians. This should serve as a caution to most of our acts, to keep their lyrics and videos free of profanity.
