The Federal Government via the National Broadcasting Corporation, has made firm on its decision to ban Olamide’s anthem and hit track of the moment, Wo. This is coming a few days after the Federal Ministry of Health had openly aired it displeasure regarding visuals to Wo (Read  HERE ). In its own opinion, the video portrays a bad message that encourages second-hand smoking. However, NBC did not stop there as they also went further to ban four other hit tunes,  Wavy Level  by YBNL boss Olamide;  FALL  and  IF  by DMW boss, Davido and also  Living Things  by 9ice. You would recall that Falz had earlier called out music acts who entertain lavish lifestyles and also fraud. In view of Falz comment, 9ice’s “Living Things”, was the major talking point.
