Only victimized Artistes like Olamide can explain how much it hurts them when their music has turned to ‘virus’ in the hears of Nigerians, about claiming unbeaten records and the next thing they hear is the breaking news of their song being banned.

Because these songs have gone viral and can still be downloaded many Nigerians thinks the government ban will not cause a tiny itch to the victims of every their ban. However, its a big deal for these Artistes most especially the upcoming artistes who managed to have a single hit song and afterwards the unexpected ban hits hard on them.

Banning of song is a big deal for Nigerian Musicians because the Government will request Media houses to stop broadcast of the songs with immediate effect.

These songs were banned for different reasons ranging from obscene videos, vulgar lyrics, videos depicting violence and promotion of ostentatious lifestyle, indecent exposure and many more.
