Not Bothered About Nigeria Broadcasting Commission Banning My Song… Reminisce

Since the ban of his song along with other artistes, singer, Reminisce, has decided to speak his mind about the banning of his song, 'Tesojue,' by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission.

According to the singer, the banning of the song does not really have much effect on his career as it has not slowed him down in any way.

The singer stated that he was surprised that they are just coming to ban a song he has since released in 2014 and has enjoyed massive airplay and downloads.

“The ban on my song, 'Tesojue,' actually makes little or no difference. The song was released last year and it enjoyed airplay towards the end of last year and early this year. I am not someone who often goes to a radio station with my songs, so the effect is very minimal. Although it is very disappointing, it has little or no effect on my career or creative flow,” he said.

He stressed that the NBC needs to upgrade itself and employ the creative manpower that understands the industry and a proper laid down rules should be spelt out.

“I think NBC should try to hire people that understand the industry because abroad, they also have these laws but once the radio version is clean, they do not disturb the artistes. They should create a screening board that would check our works and inform us of the ones they feel are not for public consumption. It is not fair that they make us go through the process of creating a hit song, and shooting the video with millions and they later tell us the song is banned. What have they been doing since?”
