Nigerian musician, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has reacted to the ban placed on his song, ‘This is Nigeria’, by the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC.

It would be recalled that the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) had requested Falz to take down “This is Nigeria” video over some “offensive” scenes which, they claimed, ridiculed their religion.
