Hypocrisy...thy name is Gidi.

Much has been said about the bans on recent Nigerian songs by NBC.
Some of them are
“Maga don Pay” by Kelly Hansome,
“Suddenly” by D’banj,
“Close to you” by Mo hits
“Enter the Place” by 2face ft Sound Sultan…(for a full list, visit Linda Ikeji’s blog).

Right now, I am very worried about D’banj’s much anticipated “KOKO MANSION”…lol because from the look of things, it seems to have a flava flav feel to it and if they won’t allow these songs to air any longer, how would they cope with D’banj’s sexy self and his kokolets, come June? Lmao!
So while I understand the reason behind the ban on some of these songs, I don’t understand why 9aija refuses to focus on the REAL issues!
Have they ever heard of the internet in 9aij??? It reminds me of something I was watching on E! , when Paris Hilton finds her sex tape on the shelves of a corner store, grabs it, runs without paying and mumbles something about exposing the “children” to this! Lol poor Paris…there were a million other copies circulating shops in Yankee…how is stealing one going to help anything? Ok I digress…
My point is Nigeria has a knack for picking on little things, when there are much bigger issues to be dealt with in the country.
Which is why I was so pissed to find out that 9aija policemen were harassing women, claiming they were indecently exposed because of a comment Gov Fashola of Lagos made about scantily clad women. There’s a vid on Youtube where Funmi Iyanda talks about this, with other like-minded women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn2tMDLNtcI&feature=PlayList&p=C7A0DAE557610BEB&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=15
Then there was the Big Brother issue too, when them house of assembly guys were trying to stop DSTV from airing Shower time on BB.

As in, seriously! A look at the headlines of major Nigerian newspapers goes to show that the government has enough to think about without worrying about women going around naked or kids getting influenced negatively…leave that one to their parents to worry about. There’s the Ekiti re-run Polls violence, World Bank is predicting that Nigeria will account for 18 of the 90 million Africans that will sink below the poverty line in 2009 and labour took to the streets of Lagos today, to protest deregulation.

Another oddity about 9aij is the fact that whilst 9aij is a very “religious country”, morally, it is quite bankrupt and it is these same leaders who ban this and ban that are the ones sexually exploiting and spending lavishly on young girls old enough to be their daughters (the aristo sturvs.)

Which is why I conclude with … “hypocrisy, thy name is Gidi!!”
