Nigerian rapper and actor, Falz is no doubt one of the most versatile entertainers in this clime. While Falz can decide to create dance-able music, he also doesn’t hesitate to make socially relevant songs. A case in point is ‘Wehdonesir’.
The talented entertainer is back with a new song titled ‘This is Nigeria’. The song is an adaptation of American rapper; Childish Gambino’s much talked about visual magnum opus dubbed ‘This Is America’.
Just like Gambino, Falz’s addresses essential national issues ranging from; politics, religion, social vices and insecurity in the song.
The song starts with a voice over of his father the lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana, discussing the consequences of rampant corruption and exploitation, before adding his own cutting criticism: “This is Nigeria, look how I’m living now, look how I’m living now. Everybody be criminal,”
In the same vein, the song ends with a speech by Falz’s father, Femi Falana (SAN). He addresses the puzzling case of expensive tuition fees imposed by church-owned higher institutions.
“For instance, there is no law that allows you to take money from the church, invest in business, and privatise it. It is only in Nigeria, where you can take money from the church – money contributed by poor congregation members, you go and set up a university that the members cannot send their children to. It is against the rule and law of God, it’s against our constitution”.
