Contrary to what you heard,
NBC said it didn’t ban ‘Shoki’
Following reports that
Lil Kesh‘s song, Shoki has been banned by the Nigerian
Broadcasting Corporation(NBC), the NBC has responded through its official
twitter account that the song has not been banned.
The broadcast regulator
however said a radio station was sanctioned for playing a club version of
the song during the ‘Family Time’ belt,
when children have access to TV and radio.
The NBC statement goes thus: ‘We
at the National Broadcasting Commission can confirm there was no such ban. A
club version of the song cannot be played on radio. The club version contains
vulgar lyrics, which was played around 9am, which is considered as ‘family
time’. There is a broadcast code to follow by every
broadcast station and this station failed to comply. This said station has been
sanctioned for playing a club version during family time. We at the NBC did not
ban ‘Shoki’- by Lil Kesh. We
simply asked the suitable broadcast version to be played on the radio.’
