Don Jazzy reacts to "Oliver Twist" ban by Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation


In a response to the alleged NBC ban on D’banj’s latest song ‘Oliver’, Mo’Hits C.E.O and beatmaker Don Jazzy has played down the censor saying that ‘they only banned it because they have the power to do so’.

News of the ban first came from popular rapper Ruggedman who spread the news via Twitter: ‘NBC strikes again. 1st @IAM2SHOTZ Supermandead is banned. Now its @iamdbanj Oliver Twist. Na wah o cc @DONJAZZY’, @Ruggedybaba tweeted. The rapper further disclosed that he got the information on the ban from radio station Cool FM Abuja.

Speaking with a source in Cool FM, who would rather remain anonymous, a clear instruction has been given that the ‘Oliver’ song is not to be played. This claim was seconded by a Rhythm FM personnel who confirmed that his station has received a circular from the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to the effect although other radio DJs and OAPs claim they are yet to.

‘Yes boss I heard over Twitter about that. Oh well they have banned it because they have the power to do so. Let’s see how they stop people from hearing it elsewhere. We’re not the first people they’ll ban and we’ll not be the last. When u flog a child at every chance you get, after a while the child would adjust and get used to the beatings’, label boss Don Jazzy responded in an e-mail enquiry sent to him by Nigerian Entertainment Today.

He continued, ‘The truth is that the person that banned this song will hear this song till he is sick of it. He will hear it at almost every party he goes to. He will hear it from the cars that will drive pass him. He will hum the melody even in his sleep. He’ll probably record his own version of the Oliver video sef lol. He is doing his job so let’s allow him exercise his power. It’s allowed. May God bless him and his hustle. No long thing’.

The hit producer who performed along with the Mo’Hits crew at the recently held Koko Koncert in London, also had a word for his fans. ‘Shout out to all Mo’Hits Records fans out there. May God continue to bless you all for the love and support o. Una too much. Please follow me on twitter my name na @donjazzy. See you guys soon. IDJA’.

Recently, NBC placed a ban on rapper 2Shotz song ‘Superman Dead‘ for indecent use of language.

Well, what can i say

BAD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!!! HATERZ EVERYWHERE, FEW DAYS AGO IT WAS PSQUARE, NOW IT'S NBC, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE LYRICS

Urrrm, ok, the lyrics are kinda rude but you wouldn't notice and they can always "bleep" it out!! If kids can be used in Chris Brown's Yeah 3x video/song with all the f-words, I don't see anything wrong with this Oliver song. Oh well NBC have the power let them ABuse it!!!

i don't like song but was NBC sleeping when Scally was singing palapala

These MoHits guys been acting suspicious in a while. From the Oliver twist gayish dance move to Kanye and Dbanj's London performance with D'banj and all the mo hits crew wearing freaking tight pants. That shit make em look gayishh.

dats beefing in d making

Please was it the audio or the video that was banned?

This is because I've listened to the audio and it seemed okay although I've not seen the video.

Booyah!

Intelligent response by Don Baba J

Sincerely, i dont know why this song was banned. I have not really listened to it. Who knows, maybe its the vedio.

Why can't the musicians release "radio versions"
You can curse for all you care on the CD or unrated video. All you have to do is make a radio version that complies whith broadcasting rules. If you comply with the rules, there would be no reason for any ban. If a radio clean version is banned, then the artists can sue them to court. CREATE RADIO VERSIONS and stop blaming "bad belle"

@phuck NL good great pragmatic and intelligent advice to all.

Stupid idiot, dey ban song wey no concern am, BEEEFFFFFF

I have listened to that song, Oliver Twist, and regret to say that it doesn't come across to me as worthy of the hype. Mo Hits and D'Banj have made a number of solid hits but I wouldn't count Oliver Twist amongst them. Sorry oo.

the song isnt even a song. Whats the ban for? Durella and Terry G sing worse lyrics. so abeg they shud back down.
The song is a hit because they cleverly included fans, since fans r making their own videos and sending them in. Thats y the song is a hit.

@ Phuck NL, d most sensible reply to this thread so far, cudnt have said it better, I believe some of us here are just being unecessarily sentimental rather than being objective. Am a big fan of Dbanj no doubt but that doesnt mean I wont admit to the fact that most of his hit songs contain lewd lyrics, wouldnt blame him though, he got d clue fast, sex, sheer nudity and immorality is d name of d game at d moment. Dbanj shouldav known better with the likes of International artist like Akon who comply with broadcasting rules by releasing radio edit version of the song 'I wanna luv u', Its simple Koko masta, do what you ought to have done in d first place n save yourself this unfortunate embarrassment

Why is NBC giving more fame to this song. Apart from the beat of the song, the lyrics are nonsense, Whether Nbc ban it or not. Makes no difference.

Dem BAN o or no BAN.Things like this are happening
