Recall that in the month of January this year, the viral song of YBNL head Olamide titled ‘Science Student’ which generated negative ripples and knocks from critics and fans alike was also declared unfit for broadcast by the NBC.
The NBC at the time tagged the song a ‘Not To Be Broadcast’ (NTBB) material and proscribed the song warning radio and television stations across the country not to air it.
Six months before banning Olamide’s ‘Science Student’, no less than five songs from three different artistes deemed unworthy by NBC were banned from being aired on national radio and TV stations.
The five songs tagged “Not to be Broadcasted” by NBC include tracks like Wavy Level and Wo by Olamide, Fall and IF (remix) by Davido, and Living Things by Alapomeji CEO, 9ice.
