Controversial activist VeryDarkMan has promised to fund the video shoot for a new protest song, ‘Tell Your Papa,’ which was just banned by the Nigerian government.

Daily Sun reported that the federal government banned the song on Thursday through the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), citing it as improper and disrespectful.

In an unexpected twist of destiny, the prohibition drew widespread attention to the song, which had previously gone unheard.

In response, VDM slammed the federal government for banning the song on Nigerian radio and television, claiming that what the artist expressed in the song was factual.

He promised to help Abdulkareem re-do the video.

Speaking in a video message shared via his social media page, VeryDarkMan said, “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.”
