Falz ‘This Is Nigeria’ Official Video Is Trending Online And Has Got Everyone Talking
Nigerians are reacting to the latest video ‘This is Nigeria’ by artiste Falz. Falz who released the video hours ago to commemorate with Democracy Day talks about the ills in Nigeria.
He used the song and video remake to highlight the evident issues in Nigeria including corrupt politicians, hustling youths, SARS officials harassing people, the herdsmen killings and the kidnapping of the Chibok and Dapchi girls.
The song is a parody of parody of American rapper Childish Gambino’s This is America.

As usual, Nigerians on Twitter have reacted with mixed opinions.
Fals touched on corruption in government, corruption in churches, looters contesting election, lack of electricity, Yahoo Yahoo and Noble Igwe, Fulani heardmen killing, general insecurity, SARS brutality. Fantastic stuff. #ThisIsNigeria
I’m pleased that we still have artists like @falzthebahdguy and @2faceofficial_ talking about governance issues. Since the death of Fela, not many musicians have used their voices for the public cause. @falzthebahdguy’s #ThisIsNigeria is brilliant!
Omg! I cannot even lie.. Falz got this one right. #ThisIsNigeria ...Person wey no get work dey look my watch to check if na original.. Police station dey close by 6pm for security reasons
Falz is such a conscious rapper but in a country where even when you state things literally, many miss it, it is so hard for many to see through the jest and the wit, to see the consciousness within the character. Up there even on the layers of #ThisIsNigeria without digging in.
In #ThisIsNigeria, Falz used humour and a very creative concept to address the most pressing issues in Nigeria. This is what most people are afraid to voice out.
This is what we need to see more of in Nigeria. Music with a real message.
#ThisIsNigeria everybody be criminal.
This is Nigeria, where Madam Philomena. Money vanish for your office thirty six million, you say na animal

Falz doesn’t get the respect that’s due him as a rapper. He’s arguably one of the most insightful, most thoughtful rappers out Nigeria in a while. #thisisnigeria is brilliant and is what rap should be, reflect the culture. Respect!
