It is only in Nigeria that a song is banned after it has become a household song.
Wizkid's
'The matter' which contains lyrics like "... 20 man shall fall that day
if you cross my lane ... Oya back to the matter open and close..." was
considered explicit by NBC.
Also Phyno's Man of the year which has
lyrics like "...oburu na okwero iba tee ya vaseline(if e no gree enter
apply vaseline)..." was also considered explicit.
Thus, both songs were banned from Radio air play by NBC.
Nigerian
Broadcasting Commission has banned Wizkid’s Back to the matter and
Phyno’s Man of the year. BeatFM OAP Gbemi Olateru Olagbegi reported this
when she tweeted about it. In the past the commision had banned May-D’s
Soundtrack, Maye Hunta’s Ekatte, Femi Kuti’s Bang Bang Bang due their
suggestive lewd lyrical content.

What Is The Difference Between An Errand Boy & This Police Officer?***
Nigeria is a crazy zone: We have crude oil but we can't refine petroleum products for our local consumption, in the last 15 years. In 1961, Nigeria was responsible for 42 percent of groundnut export in the world, but today our country Nigeria is not exporting even 5 percent groundnut. In 1999, when Obasanjo came to power, we had just 1,900 megawatts, when he was leaving in 2007, he increased it to over 4,000 megawatts, but today, six year after, Nigeria is still battling with the same 4,000 megawatts.
We have close to 400,000 policemen in Nigeria today but the level of insecurity is more dangerous than it was in 2000 when Obasanjo first gave approval for mass recruitment into the police. But, how can there ever be adequate security when policemen are washing cars for big men and carrying bags for their wives?
...this is certainly not police duties but house boy and house girl work!
Budget Defence: CBN Overshot Its 2013 Estimates By N326bn -
BY SEBASTINE OBASI & MICHAEL EBOH
ABUJA — Deputy Governor in charge of Corporate Services, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Suleiman Barau, yesterday said that the apex bank overshot its 2013 budget by over N326 billion.
Barau made the revelation while defending the 2014 budget of the CBN before the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency.
According to Barau, CBN budgeted N413,373.89 billion as its expenditure for 2013 but ended up spending N739,640.63 billion.
However, in a bid to justify the excess expenditure, Barau also told the committee that the money was spent on “liquidity management” of the country’s economy.
The bank, according to the budget performance presentation earmarked N180 billion for “liquidity management?” but ended up spending N536.6 billion.
Other highlights of the 2013 budget showed that total income to CBN amounted to N600,533.65 billion, while interest on foreign investments amounted to N80,175.29 billion; interest on domestic investments, N388,208.58 billion, just as interest on domestic loans and advances amounted to about N13,540.45 billion. Others were placed at N118,609.33 billion.
Meanwhile, the CBN in its 2014 budget projected N553 billion as income while N377.9 billion was the expected expenditure.
In his comments, the Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, Jones Onyereri ordered the bank to present the comprehensive nominal rolls of all its staff to the committee.
He also demanded the “administrative expenses” by the banks in its 2013 budget which indicated that member subscription, subvention and donation cost N1.8 billion, Corporate Affairs and Recreation/Sport sponsorship/NYSC, nation expenses cost N495.5 billion.
CBN stated that it currently has 661 staff on its payroll.

$10m Plan To Save World's Rarest Gorilla In Nigeria
The world’s rarest gorilla, which is believed to be down to less than
300 remaining individuals, can be saved with a $10.5m action plan,
conservationists say.
The Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) lives in a hilly rainforest area around 12,000 sq km in size along the Nigeria-Cameroon border, regarded as a globally significant “biodiversity hotspot.” It is the rarest of four gorilla sub-species and is listed as critically endangered.
But experts at the Wildlife Conservation Society believe its population could remain stable and even increase if a new five-year plan is put into place to protect it from poachers who hunt it for bushmeat, and habitat loss as land is turned over to farming.
The plan says that levels of poaching in the past may have been underestimated, and that the forest it lives in is becoming increasingly fragmented, as trees are cleared for farming, particularly in Nigeria.
“With such a small population, the loss of even a few individuals each year represents a very serious threat to their long-term survival,” the report says.
The plan for 2014-2019 calls for more research into the gorillas’ distribution, more local-led conservation efforts, monitoring of disease, ecotourism developments, and safeguarding of ‘corridors’ between the species’ main sites.
The species has shorter palates than other gorillas, and short, strong jaws, which ecologists believe may be because they feed on tough tree bark during dry seasons.
“The outlook for the Cross River gorilla is encouraging, provided we build on past successes and continue with key partnerships to protect this great ape and its remaining habitat,” said Andrew Dunn, lead author of the report.
