Controversial social commentator VeryDarkMan has offered to fund the production of a new video for Tell Your Papa, the protest track recently blacklisted by the Nigerian government.

The Federal Government, through the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), barred the song from broadcast on Thursday, labeling its content as offensive and unsuitable for public airplay.

Ironically, the ban drew widespread attention to the song, which had received limited recognition before the government’s action.

In response, VeryDarkMan condemned the decision to prohibit the track from being played on Nigerian media platforms, asserting that the message in the song reflects the truth.

He further pledged to support Eedris Abdulkareem by financing a new video for the controversial track.

Speaking in a video message shared via his social media page, VeryDarkMan said, “I went to Eedris Abdulkareem’s page and saw the message NBC sent to him that they have banned his song, ‘Tell Your Papa,’ wherein he asked Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to tell his father that there is hardship in the country and people are dying.

“So the government doesn’t want to hear it on the stations, and they know he is saying the truth. Isn’t there hardship in the country? Ain’t people dying from insecurity?

“This is what we are going to do now. First of all, we don’t even know radio. How many people listen to radio or watch TV? That’s by the way. We are going to take it over by social media.

“Dear, Eedris Abdulkareem, we are going to shoot another video. This time, we will sponsor it. I will be in the video. We will also look for Tinubu’s lookalike since we can’t get the President to be in the video. We will remake the video, ‘Tell Your Papa 2.’ Then, we will also highlight other problems.

“That [the ban] is to say, this people listen to what is going on in Nigeria but they don’t want to act. Then when you talk, they want to control the media so that you don’t have a voice and this voice doesn’t exceed what they can control.”
