Few days ago, the news that Lil Kesh's Shoki video has been banned by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission. The news broke out when OAP, Toolz said No way! NBC just banned Shoki!!! Ahhhh shoki! Apparently shoki means 'Quickie' in Yoruba…never heard that before'"

The news went viral which promted the Broadcast Commission to respond to the news of the ban and revealed that they did not ban the song but what they did was to restrict radio stations from playing the club version during 'Family Time' in the broadcasting terms, Family Time is the period when kids have access to TV & radio.

They gave out a statement concerning the issue today saying;

“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 were played around 9am which is considered as “family time”. The station that aired the club version was asked to play only a suitable broadcast version of the song. During these times children are exposed to all media & it is the NBC's duty to protect the broadcast rights of children. 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.
