Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana better known as Falz details the messages hidden in his latest music video This Is Nigeria which has been trending non-stop since its release.
Falz transposed the song, which was originally made by American actor/rapper, Childish Gambino into the Nigerian context and titled it 'This Is Nigeria'.
The track was was produced by Wande Thomas, and the video was directed by Prodigeezy.
In the video, Falz addresses issues plaguing the country, from Fulani herdsmen, Chibok/Dapchi girls kidnap, Internet fraud, Police brutality (SARS), Money laundering, votes rigging and so much more.
Falz’ brilliance and his consistence in making social-conscious music is nothing short of admirable. With a voice over speech by his father, lawyer and social activist, Femi Falana, Falz once again shows us that the apple doesn’t quite fall far from the tree.
Explaining the concept behind the song, Falz said his motive was to influence societal change through music.
