Kelly Handsome Ban? (Nigeria Issue)

One thing we have not realized in this society is the power of Music and Movies. These elements have a very strong influence on the orientation of the society, especially children and youths who happens to be the leaders of our tomorrow.

Therefore it would be wise if a strict check is done on the kind of messages passed on by our music and movies. “Maga don pay” by Kelly Handsome with all due respect has a very wrong message and influence on the society, especially when government and NGOs are discouraging cyber crime a.k.a “yahoo yahoo” and other fraudulent practices in the society.

It is a promotion of corruption and therefore any group that patronizes such artist or song should be seen as a promoter of corruption, an enemy of Nigeria. My pain about this issue is that corporate organizations that portray to be friends and builders of our societal values, for the selfish interest of promoting their brands and products, patronize such musical artist; they feature them in their entertainment shows.

I stand to be corrected, if an artist with a song that promotes wrong social values like corruption and crime is not patronized by theses organization, I bet you, they will have a rethink when composing new songs. All hands should be on deck to promote the development of this great country.

Nothing should be underestimated, especially music and movies, they have a very strong part to play in the re orientation of Nigerians because the major challenge of a man is his mind set, lets do the right thing for the benefit of posterity.

I hereby call for the BAN of that music “Maga don pay” by Kelly Handsome and every other music that preach this wrong culture.
