    As someone who is Nigerian and lives here, I would say that obviously, this is not the whole Nigerian story. No society is all bad. That said, Falz's video does a really good job of highlighting the issues that pervade the daily reality in the country. Cheers to Falz and his creative team and of course, Childish Gambino and his team for coming up with this concept. This is a much-needed wake-up call for us.

  • @tobiadeniji6630

    I guess we should all be thankful to Childish Gambino for the inspiration.

      victor orji no shout needed cause everyone know that plus he has to get approval from Gambino before doing this. Gambino is very close to Nigeria people.

    Thank you so much!

    I love you Falz, I love and honor people on earth like you. I'm an American filipina girl who have a nigerian boyfriend and because I love him so much, I research more and more everyday about Nigeria and I really appreciate your song, I'm so impress about your courage to sing it for the world to know and for Nigerians to wake up and do something....even me though I never been to Nigeria but just because I love my Nigerian boyfriend so much...I'm thinking someday if I become his wife...I would love to live in Nigeria and make a difference there.

    • @bernagenwhite7131
      @bernagenwhite7131 6 років тому +4

      I met my boyfriend already, just in case you think you wonder if I'm only dreaming and a victim of a scammer. It's really all up to him whether he wants us to settle down in Nigeria or not in the future...but when we do....I definitely want to do something. And no I'm definitely not planning to run for any office although most of my relatives in Philippines are politicians. So @ Moses, I know exactly what you mean but people like you are one of the reasons why the country is the way it is. You should not worry what the world can do to you but worry what you can do for the world then you're life would be mean worth while living. Coward citizens are the reason why their country has bad systems.

    Nigerian who are criticizing aspect of this video confirm the fact that most Nigerians live in a mental prison and are very uneducated. This video is what Nigeria and its youth needs. We need to stop being so hard headed in this country and focus on what is good for all of us. There is too much pride in Nigeria for the country to move forward. The Nigerian ego is a problem...may be THE problem

    • @DivestedCanadianBacon
      @DivestedCanadianBacon 6 років тому +2

      Sample Library the people have nothing to do with this. Its the government

    • @samplelibrary2794
      @samplelibrary2794 6 років тому +13

      the government isnt made out of robots. Nigerians are in the government not aliens. Corruption starts before you are elected a public official. Nigerians need to stop blaming their government and ensure those who campaign to be government officials are not corrupt but then again when your condition is tough, you will sell out for a bag of campaign rice then complain when it runs out.

    • @DivestedCanadianBacon
      @DivestedCanadianBacon 6 років тому +4

      Sample Library No im agreeing with you. The government like every other government in every other country creates these living conditions. Crime and poverty go hand in hand. How can one make an honest living if there are no jobs? It is not the citizens fault that they are poor. The power is in the hands of the greedy. The system is broken, how can you expect the citizens not to be? They go hand in hand. The government needs to do their job so Nigerians can live properly
      Lol and there is no way to ‘ensure’ those who campaign wont be corrupt. In what country can citizens ensure this? Nowhere.

    He did an excellent job! He used the moment to speak of Nigeria’s ills. Many people of other nations did similar versions for their countries.
    Nigerians are so selfish and have too much pride and ego. It’s gross. It is really a shortcoming not an asset: ‘Pride is Before a fall.’
    Gambino told the truth, other people found it liberating to tell theirs also.

    Like Jay Z said, "we're vessels.. we're whistles.. the wind goes through us, and we wake the noise".
    Artistes have a responsibility, their voice combined with their audience is enough platform for (positive or negative) influence. Sadly most Nigerian artistes aren't concerned about positive influence. Kudos to Falz!
