Nigerian rapper Falz has since
received a lot of credits and accolade after he dropped his own version of
Childish Gambino’s track “This is America” which he titled “This is Nigeria”.
The song has seen been heavily
received in good hearts by Nigerians who applauds his ability to address the
societal issues plaguing the country at large.
Reacting to the video which has
since gone viral, Diddy, owner of Revolt TV and Bad Boy Records, posted a short
clip on his Instagram page, which he promises to play the song on his station.
Mirroring the concept used by the
American musician/filmmaker born Donald Glover, Falz, who’s also a
multi-faceted entertainer, used his song to touch almost all the problems we
are facing now.
While acknowledging the Nigerian
rapper/comic-actor, he wrote: “#Nigeria LETS GO!”. ‘This is Nigeria’ was
produced by Wande Thomas and the video was directed by Prodigeezy.
On the song, Falz talks about the
menace of Fulani herdsmen, codeine epidemic among Nigerian youth, the
much-panned special anti-robbery squad (SARS), internet fraud also known as
‘yahoo yahoo’, the Chibok and Dapchi schoolgirls abduction.
