Title: “N200 Million for Silence: Eedris Abdulkareem Exposes Bribe Attempt Over Protest Anthem ‘Tell Your Papa’”
Story:
The phone rang. The voice on the other end dripped with false honor, a cloak of political polish masking the scent of something rotten.
It wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t a friend. It was a so-called “honourable”—a self-proclaimed senator—calling with a proposition soaked in deception and desperation. N200 million. Cash. Quietly. For one thing only:
“Keep criticizing the government… but under our payroll.”
Veteran rapper and fearless truth-teller Eedris Abdulkareem didn’t flinch. He didn’t stammer. He didn’t sell out.
Instead, he did what only the brave dare—he exposed them.
In a viral video shared on Friday, Eedris laid it bare: a shady figure claiming links to top government officials and the President’s son, offering dirty money to hijack his message and turn resistance into a puppet show.
“I told him I’m not interested,” Eedris said, his voice pulsing with conviction. “Thieves. May God punish all of you.”
But the story doesn’t stop there.
Just a day before, the National Broadcasting Commission had already swung its axe, banning “Tell Your Papa,” the protest anthem that’s been echoing through Nigeria’s streets and social feeds. The ban only added fuel to the fire. A song meant to awaken has now become a symbol of the very oppression it speaks against.
But this isn’t just about one artist. It’s about a country where voices are being traded, censored, and sold—where resistance is a currency, and conscience is under attack.
Amnesty International has called it an “unacceptable abuse of authority.”
The Performing Musicians Association warns the ban will only amplify the message.
And the Media Rights Agenda? They’ve called out NBC for turning into a propaganda machine, shielding the government instead of serving the people.
Now, the world watches.
Will Eedris stand alone, or will others rise too?
Will truth be bought, or will it roar louder than ever?
N200 million for silence. He chose a mic instead. What would you choose?
