Media Personality Dotun Slams Bauchi Govt for Banning DJs

Oladotun Ojuolape, better known by his stage name Do2dtun, is a Nigerian disc jockey who has denounced the government of Bauchi State’s prohibition on DJs and event organizers.
Through his 𝕏 page, he reportedly voiced his disapproval, calling the decision unjust and detrimental to the creative sector.
In Bauchi State, the legislation limits the activities of disc jockeys and event planners throughout the state.

The government justified the action by saying it was required to reduce the high divorce rate and restore the moral and spiritual underpinnings of marriage.

Aloba, kawayawade, gala evenings, DJs, and other entertainment practices deemed to encourage immoral behavior are all prohibited.

In response to the move, DJ Dotun criticized the policy, saying it was ill-considered and detrimental to many Nigerians who depend on entertainment for a living.

According to him, such rules demonstrate a lack of knowledge about the contribution of the creative sector to job development and young empowerment.

“You are incredibly worthless if you are the one who implemented a state law that forbids DJs and event coordinators. What an utter lack of knowledge connected to unemployment and despair. How does such a law affect things? He wrote on Monday afternoon, “There are some people in Nigeria who are really backward.”
