Eedris Abdulkareem Under Fire as Nigerian Government Bans His Explosive Anti-Tinubu Diss Track!
“Tell Your Papa” – The Song Too Hot for Nigerian Airwaves!
Controversial Nigerian artist Eedris Abdulkareem is making headlines again—this time for his scathing new track “Tell Your Papa,” which brutally calls out President Bola Tinubu’s failing leadership. But the government isn’t having it—NBC (National Broadcast Commission) has BANNED the song from TV and radio, declaring it “inappropriate” and “objectionable.”
Why Is the Government Scared of Eedris Abdulkareem’s Lyrics?
In the song, Abdulkareem directly attacks Tinubu’s policies, urging his son, Seyi Tinubu, to warn his father that “people are dying” from hardship, hunger, and insecurity. The lyrics—delivered in a fiery mix of English, Yoruba, and Pidgin—accuse the president of “too many empty promises” and demand Seyi experience Nigeria’s dangerous roads instead of flying private jets.
Tinubu’s Painful Reforms & Nigeria’s Suffering
Since taking office in May 2023, Tinubu’s economic “reforms” have plunged Nigeria deeper into crisis:
- Fuel subsidy removal → Petrol prices skyrocketed
- Inflation above 30% → Food prices out of control
- Nigerians skipping meals just to survive
- Kidnappings & insecurity still rampant
The government claims its policies will “stabilize” Nigeria—but citizens are fed up, and Abdulkareem’s song has become their anthem of frustration.
NBC’s Crackdown

The NBC, which regulates broadcasting, ordered all stations to stop playing the song, threatening fines or license suspensions. But this isn’t Abdulkareem’s first rodeo—back in 2004, his hit “Nigeria Jaga Jaga” was also banned after it exposed the country’s decay under Obasanjo.
Will the Ban Silence Eedris Abdulkareem?
Unlikely. The song is already trending on social media, and Nigerians are demanding answers—not censorship. With Tinubu’s approval ratings sinking, the government’s attempt to muzzle dissent might just backfire.
