Radio station in Jos sanctioned by NBC for playing Falz’s song, This is Nigeria

A radio station in Jos has been fined 100,000 Naira for playing Falz’ song “This is Nigeria” .
The National Broadcasting Commission, wrote a letter to the radio station informing them that Falz’ song titled This is Nigeria is “laced with vulgar lyrics” and for playing the song, they were sanctioned.

The lyrics that they had a problem with is the part that goes, “This is Nigeria, look how we living now, everybody be criminal.”
Also, the commission fined the station for playing Olamide’s song titled “See Mary, See Jesus.” The letter says Mary and Jesus are regarded as sacred by the Christian faith and as such contravenes section 4.3.1e.

NBC asked the station to pay the fine of 100,000 Naira within two weeks, else they will be made to face stiffer sanctions
