Controversial activist VeryDarkMan has announced plans to sponsor the video shoot for the banned protest song “Tell Your Papa” in Nigeria. The song, which was recently banned by the government for being deemed inappropriate and offensive, has now gained significant attention following the ban.
In response to the ban, VeryDarkMan criticized the government for censoring the song and expressed support for the singer’s message. He has pledged to assist in remaking the video for the song.
VeryDarkMan said:
“So the government doesn’t want to hear it on the stations, and they know he is saying the truth. Isn’t there hardship in the country? Ain’t people dying from insecurity?
“This is what we are going to do now. First of all, we don’t even know radio. How many people listen to radio or watch TV? That’s by the way. We are going to take it over by social media.
“Dear, Eedris Abdulkareem, we are going to shoot another video. This time, we will sponsor it. I will be in the video. We will also look for Tinubu’s lookalike since we can’t get the President to be in the video. We will remake the video, ‘Tell Your Papa 2.’ Then, we will also highlight other problems.
“That [the ban] is to say, this people listen to what is going on in Nigeria but they don’t want to act. Then when you talk, they want to control the media so that you don’t have a voice and this voice doesn’t exceed what they can control.”
