The singer is seeking among other things;

A declaration that the Defendant’s prohibition of the Plaintiff’s song titled “This Is Nigeria” from being aired by the Nigerian media outfits on the pretext that same is laced with vulgar lyrics is in flagrant breach of the Plaintiff’s right to the freedom of thought, conscience and expression as guaranteed under Sections 38 and 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and to that extent, such prohibition is unconstitutional, null and void.
_
2. An Order of this Honourable Court setting aside and/or vacating the decision of the Defendant as contained in the letter dated 6th August 2018 and lifting the ban or proscription of the use of the Plaintiff’s song titled, “This Is Nigeria” by any and all Nigerian media outfit/organizations.

Good.

With our holier-than-thou attitude in this country, it is high time we began to take lessons on how to fight unjust institutions.

Abeg, what is wrong in that song?

NBC should go-ahead and ban Nigeria since the song is pure reflection of the country itself.

Nonsense.

It is called 'a cover'. Go to YouTube and see many artists from different countries that did different covers of the same song.
