      And whether he tried to or not, he really made America look pathetic for complaining about how we disagree in politics. There are real issues around the world, and we’re over here acting like we have it rough. This song and video is amazing. We need more of these from people around the world calling to their issues they have in their own countries!

So it feels like crime is all around. But also works as.. people feeling like they're being treated as criminals even tho they're obeying the law.. the international assumptions about Nigerians due to the Nigerian prince scams.. And also as a lack of trust in each other, even those who aren't criminal are treated with suspiscion just incase..

      Peculiar Runas it is so crazy, it is even crazier when the youth see nothing wrong with that and idolise overnight celebrity that only eat, gossip, talk shit and have on TV.
      The politicians are only playing on our "mumuness". Reward a best graduating student will not make the news but rewarding those having sex on TV and are welcomed by crowd (mostly youth) will go viral and appreciated by the yoot.

      Africa could be the leading continent of the planet if its leaders, once in power didn't only think about themselves, their bank accounts and their families, but had for only main thoughts the future of their countries.
      It's with such leaders that Asia has risen to give such numerous economical powers (China, India, Taiwan, Corea, Malaysia, Turquey, Iran, Singapour, etc...)
      As long as each african leader that takes the power at the place of the previous one will only care about cashing as much as possible before beeing ejected too (and so forth, beeing bribed and used as a puppet by the current super powers, and multinational corporations), Africa will just keep beein in its current state...

    The end part just hit the nail on the head. It’s sooooo annoying that Church members would contribute for a particular purpose (eg to build a school) and the leaders of the church would build the school and fix the fees so high that majority of the people that contributed to the success of the project can’t afford to send their children there. This is all in the name of making excess profit, which would now be used to buy luxury items and live big lives . It’s such a disappointment 🤦🏻‍♀️

      Listen you are not forced to continue in that church. No church came to your house with cane and say if you don’t attend we will kill you. Stay in your house if you don’t want to go. So many Nigerian are religious bigotries. On Sunday if you don’t go to church you are a sinner. Churches are open more than industries and factories because we believe when we pray God will open a way for you where there is no way and we will sit at church no work and be praying on top our voices. Sister use that your Sunday offering put them together and start a side hustle and stop pointing to the church. The church tell people what the want to hear and the join. Like when you toast woman you tell her what she wants to hear and she is all yours.

You think "Manya " rythym belongs to wizkid? It was done by a group of Ghanaians . Davido's "IF" has lines from lagbaja's song.

Setting a trend, so that others try to imitate something as closely as they possibly can... or to identify specifically with what you put out there in your work is the definition of starting a movement...

"THE PEOPLE" who watch these atrocities take place and become bystanders instantaneously. You're just another asset in Donald Glovers scheme to make money. He's not exposing the world to the peopel. he's exposing the people to their own infidelity to their communities and eventually to the worl. 😂😂😂 You guys are all fucked.

    For those who don't understand the pidgin English Falz used:
    This is Nigeria, just because I'm on TV now, person wey no get work is checking to see if my watch is original- meaning; Just because he's on TV, someone who's jobless is trying to know if his watch is original. (On his social media platform by the way)
    This is Nigeria, where dat madam philomena, money vanish from your office 36 million naira , you talk say na animal - this means Where's that madam Philomena, 36 million Naira vanished from your office and you say it was swallowed by an animal (Snake); She was in charge of the JAMB(Joint Admission and Matriculation Board) funds for registration of University applicants
    Politicians wey steal some billion and billion, e no dey go prison o - meaning Nigerian Politicians who steal/loot billions and billions of dollars/Naira don't go to prison.
    Police station dey close by six; Security reason o - meaning Police stations in Nigeria closes by 6 p.m because of security reasons (Though it's not all Stations)
    Young people are still working multiple jobs and dem talk say we lazy o - This means young people work multiple jobs and yet the president said that Youths are lazy ( though the president never said that Literally but said at the commonwealth meeting in london recently that "since Nigeria has been an oil producing country the youths just want to sit down and get schools, food and health care for free)
    This is Nigeria; there's plenty wahala sha, Fulani herdsmen still dey slaughter, carry people dey massacre - This means there's a lot of trouble in Nigeria, Fulani herdsmen go about Slaughtering people and they Massacre farmers as well.
    This is Nigeria, Yahoo Yahoo don tear everywhere and we act like it's so cool - This means that Yahoo Yahoo (Internet Fraud/Advance Fee fraud or crime ) is rampant and we act as if it's so cool.
    This is Nigeria; SARS ( Special Anti-Robbery Squad) stop you for road , any explanation you go talk am for station o - meaning Whenever you're stopped on the road by SARS you have to Explain yourself to them at their Station, there's nothing you say that can set you free until you get to their Station.
    I hope I've done justice to the pidgin for those that understand pidgin English.
    This is not the first Falz music about the social ills in Nigeria so for those saying he's a copycat you should check out his other song titled Wehdone Sir. He just saw an opportunity that would get enough reactions which he has gotten as the Wehdone Sir only has 1.7 million views
