VeryDarkMan has committed to sponsoring the video shoot for the new protest song “Tell Your Papa,” which was recently banned by the Nigerian government. The Federal Government, through the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), enforced the ban on Thursday, deeming the song inappropriate and offensive.

Ironically, this ban has sparked significant attention for the song, which had previously gone largely unnoticed. In response, VDM has criticized the federal government for prohibiting the song’s play on Nigerian radio and television, arguing that the content of the song reflects a truthful message.

In a video message shared on his social media page, VeryDarkMan expressed his support for Abdulkareem, the singer, and vowed to assist him in creating a new video for the song.

“I went to Eedris Abdulkareem’s page and saw the message NBC sent to him that they have banned his song, ‘Tell Your Papa,’ wherein he asked Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to tell his father that there is hardship in the country and people are dying.

“So the government doesn’t want to hear it on the stations, and they know he is saying the truth. Isn’t there hardship in the country? Ain’t people dying from insecurity?

“This is what we are going to do now. First of all, we don’t even know radio. How many people listen to radio or watch TV? That’s by the way. We are going to take it over by social media.

“Dear, Eedris Abdulkareem, we are going to shoot another video. This time, we will sponsor it. I will be in the video. We will also look for Tinubu’s lookalike since we can’t get the President to be in the video. We will remake the video, ‘Tell Your Papa 2.’ Then, we will also highlight other problems.

“That [the ban] is to say, this people listen to what is going on in Nigeria but they don’t want to act. Then when you talk, they want to control the media so that you don’t have a voice and this voice doesn’t exceed what they can control.”
