Why Lil Kesh's Track "SHOKI" Was Banned by phayvoursky(m): 1:39am On Sep 20, 2014
In an obviously ill thought out move to seem
relevant, the Nigerian broadcasting Commission
(NBC) has slammed a ban on Nigeria’s latest tune
export, ‘shoki’.

The media adviser of the NBC who spoke at a press
briefing told FNN correspondent that ” the song
‘Shoki’ which is a Yoruba slang for ‘quickie’ has
spread to other African countries and everybody is
singing what they don’t understand, even my two
year old daughter came to my room and just
started muttering ‘ahh shoki’, its a scary experience,
so we banned it”.

This directive has not gone down well with media
houses and the end consumers of the monster
banger as there was a protest in front of the NBC
office with the protester mounting massive sub-
woofer speakers and putting the deafening song on
repeat and shouting ‘Ahh Shoki’.

The 'Shoki' they're talking about here has a different tone/pronunciation from the Shoki in the song. Why are these people so jobless?
