The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has admitted sending a petition to the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Falz’s ‘This Is Nigeria’ song.

It will be recalled that following the release of the video for 'This is Nigeria' by Falz earlier in June, the Muslim group had issued Falz with a seven day ultimatum to withdraw the song or face legal actions.

The group subsequently withdrew the ultimatum following widespread reactions from the public. News however emerged on Thursday, August 9th, that the NBC have placed a ban on the song and the group has now regained its voice.

In a statement released by the group director Ishaq Akintola, on Monday, August 13, the group admits to having sent a petition to the NBC to place ban on the song.

“We asked Falz to withdraw the video or we would sue him.

Instead of showing remorse he dared us. We knew he could delay the court case for years because he is a lawyer and he would use every trick in the books to frustrate us. That was why he was boasting.

Therefore, instead of going to court, we decided to ambush him by sending a petition to the video board. This week, the NBC banned the video and others like it.

He should be the one to go to court now if he likes. Let him go and show how brilliant he is in court.

He and his fans laughed at us when we complained about his provocative and vulgar video. But there is no doubt that he who laughs last laughs best. It is hoped that Nigerian artistes will borrow a leaf from this episode.”

MURIC used Fela Kuti’s activism as a point of reference, saying the Afrobeat progenitor never attacked any religion.

Fela Anikulapo Kuti used his songs to fight military dictatorship and other ills in the Nigerian society, but he never attacked Muslims or Christians.

Neither did he incite Nigerians against any ethnic group. He criticised religious groups but never in a vulgar manner and he never exposed Muslims or Christians to ridicule.

MURIC said the video for Falz’s ‘This is Nigeria’ could have resulted in a religious crisis but they handled it “intellectually,” adding that Nigerians do not appreciate their efforts.

“‘This is Nigeria’ should remain banned until the provocative and vulgar scenes are removed. The video can still go on air with slight modifications,” the group said.

“Not every Nigerian is a criminal. As we have the Evans, so do we have the Oloyedes, the Ahmadu Alis, the Femi Falanas and the Sowores. Even Falz himself is not a criminal.

“Therefore Falz and other artistes should encourage the youth to emulate our heroes instead of pushing them to ape rogues. Finally, we commend NBC and the video censors board for acting swiftly.” the group concluded.

MURIC is a terrorist organization

For real, they don’t play eye opening songs like that on radio stations, because most radio stations are heavily controlled by the government. You never hear TI’s the National Anthem on the radio in USA.

Na wa. I do believe that we should respect the religious beliefs of everyone but my major concern is that whenever there is a suicide attack or boko haram leader, shekaru comes out to claim responsibility for attacks and says he will continue because he is doing what the holy prophet says, we do not see MURIC causing an uproar, we do not see highly placed Islamic leaders take to the street to distant themselves from shekaru or protest that his way of understanding the holy book is wrong and his teachings are blasphemous. However, if a cartoon is drawn or girls are seen wearing hijab to dance, then all he'll is let lose
It just doesn't say well of the Muslim elites

Useless NBC and Useless muric

I love this.


Not everyone is a criminal.

If everyone is a criminal the he and his father are also criminals.

Bunch of fools... why CAN never ban the abuse on white garment churches in skits ,movies and music videos ? Instead of Muric to find a way to stop violence among people using Islam to cause havoc ,they are there chasing falz cos he said the truth. .

Who are those sponsoring this sh1t faced man self.

I always laugh when they say a song is ban in Nigeria, after how many months? A song with 13million views and counting?

If. They really want to ban a song, they should create a channel where every artist must submit their song for before it is being release.

Whether they ban the song or not, it's none of my business, I have better things to worry about.

Nothing new

They should show a copy of the petition or i dont believe it

Zombie!!!!!!!

Muric is now in control of NBC ba?

I hear say na james bond sang "This is nigeria song" abegi na true?

Yoruba muslim vs Yoruba Christian, I know the winner and the Lord will stand by his people in that land where offsprings of Jihadist through rape are now waxing strong. But let me tell you brothers, they will surely fail because darkness can never subdued light.

God bless Yoruba Christians, God bless Nigeria.
