This is on point bc instead of making fun of This Is America he uses this as a chance to let the world here his message.
100%
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!
Ptyler lol I get what your say but this is America was just about disagreement on politics thi
Kevin Kissoon 💯
*Me* vs People who tell me what to do
the world is so unwoke
"The police station closes at at 6 for security reasons" the irony is INCREDIBLE.
Wow
I dont get it
Potato Go ironic because the police ARE the security and their supposed to be the ones that criminals fear but it’s the other way around. The security closes for their own security basically.
@@quincyihe wtf do you mean 'your parents' ? If your parents are from Nigeria, where are you from ?
@@Ayden.gn2s Police Station (which should secure the people) closes by 6pm for security reasons.
I visited Nigeria recently, and boy let me tell ya , Nigerians are the most hardworking people I have ever met. From very young to very old, everyone is doing something. You even notice school kids selling food after their school hours. You rarely find anyone begging.Long live Nigerian nation
Khadijeh A same here apart from it was Egypt I visited
Wow
Same situation in Uganda, the people are also very helpful and friendly.
Khadijeh A well you can’t beg when everyone broke can you 😂
Yeah, you wouldn't be saying shit if u didn't have a soldier by your side
Came back to watch this after this whole election drama
My heart bleeds for Nigeria😭
Me too
I watch am just after Dem announce thiefnubu✌️
wait whats going on? idk the news
me too
🎉🎉❤
Coming from the club at night. Get arrested for no reason. The kids with parents who have money to bribe the officers get out. The remaining ones get harrased. I relate too much to this...
Thanks to gambino people from all over the world are telling their countries story through his sound and his message im in tears .. Watch this is Iraq too its amazing
2024 and we're still in Nigeria. 😂
Falz. ❤
"Young people still works in Multiple jobs and youre talking we are lazy ah?" !! this one was hard!!
witali mik it’s hard out here mehn. Went hard!!!
or "Police station got closed by 6, security reasonal" :D those words man
It's even worse than u think
This is how a cover is done... kudos Falz
No...
iSocialTV Show facts
tehjamez YES!!!!!
Everyone do yourself a favor, and do an online search of what a "cover for a song" is. This is not a cover, it's a copyright infringement.
Steph Ss if it was copied and stolen, Falz would claim the idea and creation of the content of this video HIS lol. He credited Gambino in the description.
Come back when your tea is hot
Did he just say the police station closes at 6 for security reasons?? LMAO!!
Na so naw

Attendance Marked
Are you going to say this every year
I am Ghanaian and we also experience some of the problems in the video. I really respect Falz for fearlessly exposing this. This is an African problem.
I love how this remake sticks to the concept of the original. How corrupt this world is
JTR.Beauty what was the concept of the original. If you think this sticks to the original, your interpretation might be a little off.
IzThat it i think she means it's the same as the original, in the sense they both are talking about issues in their countries. I dont think its the same issues, but they both are a voice for the people.
ReelLife C couldn’t have said it better
ReelLife C Well she should of said "I like how it kept the same concept. Showing how corrupted each place is."
I'm waiting for *This Is Wakanda*
Someone already did it
Azerrz
did
ruclips.net/video/NbJvPrd-Pq8/видео.html
they already have it
azerz don’t really count because there is no music video for it
billy blanks check out azerrz
"Pastor put his hand on breast of his member his pulling the demon out!"
I don't know why but I absolutely love the flow and that line. This rendition is just full of gems like that.
Sounds about right
Sexual harassment by men of the cloth, in the name of "exorcism" of female church members
That part where the police arrested 2 guys but the rich father came and bailed his son out by bribing the police while the other one faced beatings in police custody is so legit!
The KinkCHIC ikrrr
if you are here you know everything he said is so real and staring at you everytime
The first remake I have seen that is not of comedy but is about serious matters instead🔥 loved it💯🌊
Adey Alake deadass this shit made me think it’s crazy cuz it’s terrible everywhere smh
Adey Alake this is Jamaica came out before this and thats the best cover
This is the only cover that doesn’t take away from the original message, but rather, adds to it. Fantastic!
And This Is Jamaica you should check that one too also on a light note this is Canada.
Falz, the only artiste in naij with a conscious side to his music, addresses real life issues in Nigeria. It's not everyday turn up music man, we need this as a country
THE VME REAL talk
Brymo and Asa do the same too. Just in a more artful and subtle way
Nneka too
THE VME have you listened to Pity 4 us by Timaya?
Lool... really? conscious music? falz?? when??? ... This is the only time he has and he's just riding off the wave of Gambino's "This is America"
I’m an African American, and I just found out I’m 54.6% Nigerian. So I came here. 🇳🇬
❤️
Cool 👍🏾
Black American.
@@amehka5416 what do you mean? Don’t speak for him

this is america.. this is Nigeria.. this is iraq
this is everywhere... we love u Nigeria from iraq ♥️
yup معك حق
❤️️❤️️
Wow! For real... Till now
I'm gonna have to check out This is Iraq right now
@@czas4 yeah go
Wow this song is hot. I like the fact that a Nigerian artist is saying something meaningful and not always singing about women and their bodies. Well done Falz.
Mary Mee gotta admit to your problems before you can fix them.
I admit I have a very dim view of Nigeria but if this guy can gain support and make a cultural change for the better..... then he deserves all the help we as people can muster.
Yes that's true
Mary Mee I didn’t listen to a lot of songs by Falz but he often has meaning behind his songs
Hello I just subscribe to your channel please i would appreciate if you do the same back for me. thanks
Please kindly mention any countries musicians that doesn't sing about women and their bodies..Matter of fact doing that was what brought out most of them and make them sell,be a musician and make the difference if you ain't down with all this.
This song makes even more sense in October 2020.
True ,very true
It shows how backward we are in Nigeria
Word!!
@@Mzlizzy TRUE

SamSpeedy You no dey upload videos again. Oga why na
Yes this good but still copying. AM not sure if this is supposed to be a cover or an actual song????
Ireoluwa Williams Read the description
So Sam you were here ! We have been looking for you all over !
Hey, SamSpedy, good you are here. Greetings from my Son. Thanks for your videos. Looking forward to your next upload....
And the pastor “putting his hand on the breast of a member - he’s pulling the demons out”? Men standing up for women against religious abuse EVERYWHERE should be supported! Thank you Falz.
Damn that was hilarious sadly it's true .
Yeh the priest was a perv and he paid off the cops near the end. I've seen a lot of corrupt priests in developing countries. And they never goto jail.

I honestly thought this was gonna be a parody of “This is America”. This is great. Glad he was able to spread his message! ✌🏻♥️
It is a parody of this is america
@@paulio1530 no it's a different song spreading a different message
@@lerinoronti6892 it came out right after this is America and the beat is almost exactly the same. The title is this is Nigeria. That makes it a parody of this is America. It's not an original idea. Not trying to take anything away from the song, it's really good. But you can't say it isn't a parody of this is America because it's the same song with different words.
@@paulio1530 Technically you are correct and I'm going to assume here that people think parody means taking the sh*t out of something for entertainment which isn't true well not entirely . For the 10 fps Boi who I hope they read this - same style of song (same beat), similar names, similar context just a different place and like Childish Gambino Falz tried to cover what I would call madness (for legal reasons a joke :D) with lies E.G. the dancing and the excuses.
@@jenny.belle_fille making a parody isn't against the law it's fair use
This hits harder in 2024
Indeed this is Nigeria
This message is not for Nigerians only,it's for all African countries.
Leadership is poor,no use of resources to better the life's of citizens,they only brag about it in their speech.
Anyone who make his or her way to the throne of the country only feeds himself. We just have to fight for ourselves besides our forefathers have been facing it ....and born us into it...it's only force promises we get.
May God Help And Bless Our Hustles.
Same shit going on in all over, very little improvement. And many of our brothers/sisters conforming and kissing ass more and more.
The Only Truth yh..hm..it's really sad
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...
Preach my brother/sister!
MoreAwsomeMetal also if they didn't lose s quarter of their population
This is America
Falz:hold my beer
Hold my fufu
This was made before this is America
@@cizzy2dizzy720 no....it was not. Look at the credit under the video. He credits Childish Gambino.
Then he spilled it.
Hold my bruddah
Funny thing is, Falz is a bit like Donald Glover in the artistic sense. He raps, Acts, Writes, does comedy skits and has a Law Degree
They need to do this for every country.
I like when falz says 'everyone is a criminal' so deep
Yup even though am American no offense but I love this better
Deep?
@@nyikasplace9886 I assume he means because it works on several levels. From a statement of fact about people in government, to SARS, to the man in the street working his hustle. 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..
"Police station dey close at 6 for security reasons"
..ahahahahaha this part weak me ...i laugh die
Adjei Alfred hahaha me too
Same as Tanzania
ikr
I wonder why most a-list artistes especially wizkid and davido have never done a song that talks about the injustice and corruption in Nigeria. Yet they claim Fela is their mentor. Great Job falz.
Charz Fortune ....oga the song is not original.
It's someelses idea.... Nothing special
Omatsola Asifor read your comment over again and see how ignorant you are. Get the message and move on with your life. We all know Childish Gambino did it first. You think "Manya " rythym belongs to wizkid? It was done by a group of Ghanaians . Davido's "IF" has lines from lagbaja's song. Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Demi Lovato and a whole lot if local and international artistes do it. Covers and excerpts are legal as long as you give credit and you have permission from the original owner.
Charz Fortune ....u can say that again that i m ignorant ...thats to tell u that ur likes of artiste like davido and wizi struggles to have contents in songs
This falz song is not original cos its copied from a-z......thats y Tuface makes the diff...anytime anyday.
For me. falz would have been better if it was in a diifer concept that can compete with gambino...
Omatsola Asifor gosh I can't believe that you're hammering on the fact that it's a cover instead of you to get the message. oya go and sue him Na. Since you're Gambino's lawyer. WTF
Ola Bode I get your view but this isn't because he did a Gambino cover. He owned the song. He brought a whole new level of creativity and entertainment put together. Muslim girls asking shaku, shaking political and social tables? Just appreciate his work and care less if it's a cover or nah. Funny enough I'm not his fan but this is epic!
this is Nigeria, where the number of churches is 5x more than the number of industries and hospital put together
Franklin O. Ohaegbulam I swear Islam is the leading religion in Nigeria
Franklin O. Ohaegbulam wait, whose fault is that....are the pastors your governors and president? if you want new hospitals and schools, go and meet the government. But pls don't expect pastors to stop building churches and spreading the gospel
Islam is 40% Christian is 39% catholic is 15% and 6% other

To the ones callling this a rip off, first of all, he has acknowledged Childish in his caption. Secondly I believe childish started a kind of movement where lyrics and the video will point out wrongs in society without being overly direct about it, giving us the notion that society is looking in the wrong place while injustice is abounding..... i personally find this outstanding.... cant wait for the many background theories and explanations to begin.
Seni Joshua sorry, I didn't say he was the originator of it. I am aware of this being present since the birth of music itself.... what I said was he has started a movement. .... and we must admit it is peculiar to him, the way he did it... otherwise it would not have blown up so massively the way it has. 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...
This is a rip off fact ...
You can't use Gambino's work and add Shaku Shaku and think you'd be called a Genius
well to start F.SARS on the jacket of the police guys probably actually means f*ck SARS
Israel Byoma Google parody. Then you'll understand and modify your comment
Israel Byoma bro even childish gambino uses south African dance and Nigeria so what's the difference we get inspiration from everywea, bro so calm down and listen to the lyrics... on love bro✌
God go bless you falz oooo police dey close 6, o'clock for security reasons #this_is_nigeria🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

CAPO DIZZA VEVO 😂😂😂😂 that was too funny!
CAPO DIZZA VEVO hahahhahahahahah..I dey tell you..no be small mata.Its appalling.

I love that Donald Glover opened the door for all of these other countries to remake his song and tell us about the problems in their countries.
guineawuv it's because of people like you, who love any thing these unoriginal pricks throw at you, that the world of entertainment is descending exponentially.
Hen Bers screw yourself! Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it's not good. You're not the absolute authority on what's good or not.
guineawuv how does you're un- evolved brain not see what's being thrown right at you through the song. "You" are the problem. "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. And this parody got the wrong idea too so I can't blame all of you.
ATZ Amen well stated I couldn't agree with you more. You speak the truth
SpiritSanta Jones thanks for the support friend
Coming here after what happened yesterday at the catholic church in Ondo state, this song hits hard 😞 Nigeria is bleeding!!!!
Yes
this is what we call poetic justice. my favorite part was when he said "police station dey close by 7pm because of security reasons" and the children taking the cough syrup to get high was the icing on the cake. he touched everything needed to be touched in Nigeria, kudos Falz, this is a movement
AWANI VICTORY i thought that was lean but i wasn't sure. Thanks. I hate that ish i really do.
This is one of the better remakes because it sticks to the original intention of the video. Good job!
Excellent! HerbSistah.com💓
OHM-968692 ruclips.net/video/jbsJ4wWdkXQ/видео.html
OHM-968692 is that the idea of it being racially based?
Jayman this talks of poverty and government corruption it is better to not blame race and try understanding something before you comment on it otherwise you sound really ignorant
Hi I I think you’re mistaken, the original “This is America” is very raced based and shows facts of black America and black people in American society, so I don’t see any comparison to the original if it’s not racially oriented, so I’d suggest you think before you answer comments in a defensive fashion.
This is America: 600M Views

This music just summarized everything that is happening in Nigeria, and I feel like this is very underrated.. maybe Nigeria’s will understand the music better in future
Exactly. Notice how in 2:38 they were supposed to get arrested but a man bribed them showing how there’s no justice in Nigeria as authorities are easily bribed.
Honestly, this is everything. There's still so much more that could be mentioned if the song was longer.

This should not be banned in Nigeria. These are speaking up against the government.
That's why it's banned...

Wait is it really banned in Nigeria?
What’s banned?
Fals I love that.. Nigeria police station close at 6pm waa..w . Nigerians youths are working hard but our leaders are all corrupt . May God help Nigeria.
The police station close at 4:30 in Detroit... I thought it wad like that everywhere
That's a lie. You could say they open at 6pm, cos that's when they make more money under the cover of darkness.
Came expecting a parody, but that doesn’t mean I was disappointed!
Thomas Urech yeah, I was wondering if this came out first or something I got confused😑🤔
I think its better than Original IMO
Yeah to this is America
I was thinking the same thing. This version makes more sense too!

Always good to see artist inspired by other artists. Childish Gambino inspired this man to tell his story, as it relates to his country.
The first time I watched the video, I missed the guy sitting casually with a snake wrapped around his neck😐

Wonderful video and lyrics
Childish Gambino has given eyes to the blind..
This is Nigeria where the best graduating student of a university is not recognized by the state governor but the winner or finalist of BIG BROTHER NINJA is made an ambassador for education and given millions of Naira for having sex on National TV
Ikr! Big Brother Naija is of more interest to politicians than education or development; a totally disgusting and shameful truth
Damn ! Sad fact
Peculiar Runas sad huh? Africa will always be Africa smh
Peculiar Runas hit d nail on d head!!..👍
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.
One more star for Falz for having the courage and sense to do this...man shall not live by booze and boobs alone.
"Police station dey close by six...for security reasons." Lmao the irony
Da Vidiamp Guy so love that line
Over 5yrs back and this still makes sense, still what we are facing. Nigeria my country, what is the wayy...?😢
Nigeria is one of the most beautiful countries in the world , yet the government is completely corrupted and the people are the only victims .
Powerful cover !
Greetings from Morocco
Zi Zou Same as Haiti 😪
CD-ASMR both are terrible

takemethere78 the problem of overthrowing a government in Africa is that rival political factions and rebel groups and sometimes the military even take control and it results in a decades long civil war
Lol, "only" victims.
This video is so powerful that it has been banned in Nigeria..
It has “the potential of causing religious crisis of unprecedented dimension” because of the background dancers.
lalaithan, stupid, hijab is dressing not a religion.. Or Nigerian Muslims so intolerant? No wonder Christians are slaughtered daily.. You disappoint me..
I'm not sure what me disappointing you or Christians being slaughtered have to do with the Muslim Rights Concern saying that. See here: qz.com/africa/1355833/falzs-this-is-nigeria-take-on-childish-gambino-america-banned/

This is what I like about places in Africa and India. They're not afraid to mainstream their problems, instead of covering it up like many places in the world do. Song was well done. That's how to do it, make the song hit an international audience and then embarrass the hell out of the politicians who run the country into doing something to change it.
Aarya Singh I'm sorry Aarya, India is very afraid to mainstream our problems. Heck, I'd be surprised if we even knew what our real problems are.
Indians seem to be able to see only one problem- Hindu vs Muslims
discoguru Take UNICEF India's release of the 'poo to the loo' song. Most countries would find it embarrassing to even release a video about their obesity issue, and instead mask everything with "please no body shaming" or "big is beautiful." Indians are so open about their issues that they let international journalists in everywhere to a point everyone around the world knows about poverty in India. How many people know about poverty in China or Eastern Europe? Not many.
Aarya Singh You know that it's à cover right ? I mean that every country have a song about the problem into the country
ITeKs I'm aware it's a cover to 'This is America' by Childish Gambino. That doesn't negate the fact that a Nigerian (Jamaican too) created a parody/satire of the negative aspects of their country. India and Africa's problems are mainstreamed all over the international news. They're very quick to shame themselves. This is one reason why many problems such as malnourishment, homelessness, and open defecation are going down each year in these nations. Obesity rate, divorce rate, opioid crisis, etc. is going up in the west.
I've seen:
• This is America
° This is Ayiti
• This is Iraq
° This is Nigeria
And I really like how accurate they are!

It's funny how the definition of "remix" is shifting to me this is a cover version with a variation.
Most Unique
Kailus Coleman you're jaded. It's a good progression from the original and if people like the sound who r u to say
Kailus Coleman this guy has already achieved more then you ever will if you keep your crappy attitude. Be happy for other peoples success.
Most Unique stealing from whom ? You ?
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 🤦🏻♀️
Anita Ihesie very true my dear
Even worse, is the government continuously looting funds meant for maintaining schools and other sectors... Yet this church of less than 1% population of Nigeria's population have schools are way better of them in such a very short time. Address the main issue.
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.
And their so called members will be praising their pastors that its God that is blessing him abundantly cos he is a fucking pastor.. poverty and ignorance has turned pple is mentality to dust, i pity the zoo.They only care to type AMEN on fb to receive blessings everyday cos they were told that they will be successful and rich if they believe in God even without a job.. what the fk?
Goodluck Maduabuchi Okwara you’re one of the fundamental issues of this nation. With your stereotypical mindset. This won’t take you really far in life

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
udezeh henry Thank you
Thanks for translating! This video is so deep! I'm sure that it speaks of the corrupt ways in many places in West Africa and the world. I use to live in Togo and def saw some grimy stuff..
Matthew Harry. If you don't get it it's not for you let those that have ears hear and those that have eyes see what TMH is saying
Long Dreads well said. He who is ready, will understand

This is a general truth in Africa because we're all going through the same issues related to politics fake Leaders, non-pan African presidents, poverty, insecurity, health issues, embezzlement, ethnic hate, etc.
Issa Coulibaly
What do you think caused it?
Is it cultural or strictly political?
abhishek kumar I think it's strickly a wrong political system.
However from over 50 years with the same system : I conclude it's turned into a culture now
Ethnic hate is just too much in Africa.Nigeria own is someting Else
Same as Cameroon....
Preach my beloved brother!
The truth is it is because we are still colonized but this time it is colonization via the mind.
We are upside down.
After all, these states we call countries are all fake.
Some might say that our best days are behind us in terms of great civilization.
This is nigeria gone viral #earlyprediction

My country perish for lack of understanding. Our resources are meant to make life easy for her citizens not making it hard. Well said falz de bad guy.

Please Nigeria needs to stand up and earn that title of giant of Africa. Nigerians are the most hardworking men/women living, intelligent, creative and above all hospitable. Let's all make our country a better place. Above all represent Nigeria where ever we go. Love from #WachsComedy. I rep Naija here in Philippines

WachsComedy I really hope all corrupt countries become free from this vermin
Falz is from a rare beed of musicians that never get the recognition they deserve for standing with the people against a corrupt government .
Hearing this again in 2024... And realized this song os TIMELESS
I'm the only one that think that the Nigerian accent is cool?
Not really, you're not the only one.
And that's coming from an East Afrikan.
Nope i love their accent im nigerian
Tony R. I'm actually Italian
Tony R. Obviously I'm a real Italian
Tony R. Dude if they say they're are Italian then they are. Why do you care anyway lmao
YO! I AM SO PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU FALZ FOR THIS, MUSIC THAT FINALLY HAS A MESSAGE WE CAN RELATE TO, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE NEWS JUST LIKE TUPAC'S BRENDA'S GOT A BABY. I AM SO PROUD, REALLY BRILLIANT
Useh Katherine
Nigerian girls = best girls
On a lighter note, I've seen you on almost every Nigerian RUclips series comment e.g. Rumour has it, inspector K, Shuga etc. You and Damie Alabi. We should be friends lol😂
we really should. i dont know how i missed your comment. hi my new internet friend
Asides from the six packs that is being transmitted sorry I mean, transfused I mean transcoded I mean displayed all over, Falz is one Musician that doesn’t joke with his lyrics, his lyrics are always on point and true. Accolades all the way 🍾🍾🍾.
Anita Ihesie lol... Stop that lustful... I mean sorry that thing in your mind.. 😂😂😂
Your reply just transmit.... Sorry i mean transpose, I mean transfer, sorry I meant transcends time.... LMAO
Anita Ihesie I know right
Pls o, was it lustful Nigerian youths or lazy Nigerian youths President Buhari was worried about again? 😀
Andy Azugebene u mean I should stop the transmission 😂
I think all Nations should make their own version of this tune!
Nah
Best cover I bet Childish Gambino will love this
You should watch this is Korea by big marvel 😭
Eta wa es Perú (parodia this is america)
diana busolo - now that we have internet access to all major city's you would think that this world we leave in would better but it's not, we can't get alone on this planet, but these big time gov. Can guard seas together and build United Space station together I hope one day in the near future we wake up and realize that we are more then the rest ,don't matter what color or way of life if you wake up every morning and you have to go to work then shit anit equal just saying personal opinion
the best version of "This is" things. Well done.
Dude what, Gambino's music video came out on May 5th
Bang Agamdadam why are you stupid
lmao this is the wost video
Bang Agamdadam Hi, this is my mom
lol, and you're incorrect
They just banned this song😠😠
THIS IS NIGERIA
That 1 na naija.., RUclips is always available
comrade doggo yea but that's not his point
It's not like banning a song will change poverty or criminality.
Bella Adhiambo: it's because they knows he said everything that's happening in Nigeria on the song and they don't want to be exposed. That's the reason why they banned it
Why is he doing the wakandan thing?
I love that people are using the song to speak their truth about their countries. Also, those background dancers kill it so damn hard 😍
The girls on hijab dancing represents the missing Chibok girls
shotlee J oh thanks for the information 👍🏾
Well no shit
tigerstripes FOH!!!!
Nice touch👍
Falz is one of the most creative and intelligent musicians in Nigeria! I love how socially woke he is and this video is great. Big ups to the noble igwe mention looool
Onyii Bekeh Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed.
This is nothing more than a cover ... And I can't help but fill ashamed
Couldn’t agree more. That’s what higher education instils in you.
Israel Byoma ok honey, enjoy your shame then xx
ne NOBLE, or EFCC will nvestigate you.
Onyii Bekeh haba taking somebody’s work is far from being creative...if you call this guy one of the most intelligent musicians in nigeria for this then you are for sure insulting Nigerian artists!
The last part got me thinking real deep, You take money from the poor congregation to set up a school for the rich kids. THIS IS TRULY NIGERIA. Great one FALZ! This song should be number 1 on trending.
DJKessyKing nobody's taking money from the poor congregation to set up schools for rich kids. tithes and offerings are different from seed that are down into the minister's life.
titihes and offerings are used for the welfare of the church. the expensive universities were funded from the ministers personal account.
So its different, besides building a school that standard costs a lot of money. You can expect him to make it free after doing it, BTW there are scholarships for the ones who can't afford. You all should stop talking trash about you don't know
Pls what do you mean by "seed that are down into the minister's life"? expatiate thanks.
2025 who's still jamming? 🎉
