It’s Not Only Record That Should Be Banned, Musician Himself Should Be Proscribed-Soyinka Slams NBC
Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has criticized the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) over its recent decision to ban a song by Nigerian musician Eedris Abdulkareem that criticized President Bola Tinubu administration.
According to a report by Punch, Soyinka expressed strong disapproval, saying that banning just the song wasn’t enough. According to him, “It’s not only the record that should be banned, the musician himself should be proscribed.”
Soyinka’s comments appear to be laced with sarcasm, highlighting what he sees as excessive censorship and the growing intolerance for dissent in the country. He has previously criticized the NBC's broadcasting regulations, calling them an attack on freedom of expression and a threat to Nigeria’s creative industry.
The NBC’s decision to take down Abdulkareem’s song has sparked debate nationwide. While some support the move as necessary to maintain decorum in public media, others argue it is a direct attack on free speech and creativity.
Soyinka’s reaction adds to the growing criticism of how Nigerian authorities are handling political dissent, especially through music and the arts.
