Unbothered & Unfiltered: Eedris Abdulkareem teases another protest anthem following NBC ban
Eedris Abdulkareem is once again turning up the volume on political discourse, teasing the release of a new protest anthem just weeks after his last track, Tell Your Papa, was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
The veteran rapper and activist took to social media on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, sharing an animated cover design bearing the phrase “3 Arms of Government”—a clear nod to Nigeria’s political structure and a likely preview of the song’s bold subject matter.
Though the title of the upcoming track remains a mystery, his simple caption, “Stay tuned,” has sparked widespread anticipation.
Never one to shy away from controversy, Eedris slammed the NBC’s ban of Tell Your Papa, calling it hypocritical and a blatant attempt to silence dissent.
But if anything, the censorship has only fueled his resolve. Known for leveraging music as a tool for activism, Eedris seems poised to deliver another unfiltered critique of the nation’s leadership and systemic failures.
The rapper also doubled down on the enduring relevance of his iconic 2004 protest hit Jaga Jaga, declaring it Nigeria’s “second unofficial national anthem” until critical issues like power supply, security, and governance are genuinely addressed.
With a new protest track looming, both supporters and critics are watching closely, expecting nothing less than another explosive and unapologetic message from one of Nigeria’s most fearless musical voices.
