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.
I don’t want to see any dislike in this video ifa find ..I will trace you come ur house😏.. If you love falz and support him in this step he made gather here 🙏🙏🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I love this statment: we need a selfless spirit! We are so consumed with ourselves that we don't care about others. We must be awaken to the needs of those around us. We must wake up oo! Thank you so much!
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.
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.
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.
Brilliant song. Great message. This is the kind of message we need right now not only in Nigeria but Africa too. It makes a change from afrobeats and it's materialistic get rich quick lyrics. Fela started it. PLEASE continue.

Dope ass video man.. African America that has lived in Nigeria. I applaud you for speaking up and fighting for Democracy and a voice of the Youth in people in Naija.. From Cali with love.
I found his video inspirational and ignited a quest for more knowledge within me. I live in rural England so, yeah, he made a difference. I hope to visit one day this fascinating and beautiful country.
This seems like a good man with a good heart. People of good will around the world stand with Nigeria and pray for peace and prosperity for your nation. Greetings from California. 🇺🇸
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
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.
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.
I like what this artist is doing and i hope it will be a wake up call to other artists in Nigeria. Just like he said, everyone is selfish and someone needs to make them understand that we need to take back our country and move up. God bless you dude
fearless guy but pulled out of court the minute he sensed injustice during the Ogoni 9 trials.....how does your own lawyer give up when you need him the most?
am so happy to see him doing things like this, I love the message on the music...thumps up for falz, he can continue doing by naming them part 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,10... till the government change from there evil ways
That what we call in French un artiste engagé. U will never stop to surprise me. Your answers show to every body your high level of education and responsability. Indeed you artists are the voices of the population. May God never stop to shower you in blessings. Kudos dear
God bless u Falz. I was beginning to be so disappointed with Nigerian music stars. We listen to sweet melodies, raps n lyrics, but we r in serious pains, and the guys with loud voices r not willing to speak out. Thanks a million times Falz
oh God,this is amazing boldness,like it's cool,we citizens have no power to confront,it's all fucked up,thanks to falz,awesome effort,,God help us in naija...
This is very important to Nigeria This video describe that we are living in fear in our country May God almighty continue to give falz more ability an wisdom to do more,an de almighty guard an protect him from the hands of wicked person's in our country an beyond
Falz talk true sha. For all those that are misunderstanding his word when he said "everybody na criminal", think again. He meant as Nigerians, everywhere we are, we are feared and classified as criminals because of what's going on with us. It's a mess, we need to fix our situation
Very true. We are normalizing a lot of problems in our country and it about time we wake up to the reality that meritocracy and ingnorance is not normal. It's about time do what is right.
People would rather live a lie than face the truth with whats happening in their own ccountry. Music is that bridge that helps is break down those barriers, childish gambino did it and anyone who follows suit his inspiration to cover his song I tip my hat to them and praise them
5:55 got me. Falz got that statement perfectly right. People speaking boldly and standing for what is wrong. Tha abnormal has become the new norm in Nigeria. Youths we have to wake up and stand for what is right.
Baba mi I like this one ooh,like seriously God will continue to bless ya hustle cause of the courage you've got to speak for us the youth.i really like this one
U don't need to wake people up But u need to wake wake some people's up Because is not everyone sleeping Is just that we don't have de voice to speak And when you speak u know what is going to happens Aii ? I luv your song men just keep it up and keep putting Africa on top #SierraLeone💎
Truth.... “A lot of people now are so confident to speak up for what is wrong”. Nigerians with bravado that celebrates wickedness hide your face!! Nigerians let’s stop asking what the government can do but what we can do for Nigeria. There’s soo much spiritual awakening taking place on the planet I pray Most Nigerians don’t stay sleeping. God help us all.
I wonder why a right thinking Nigerian would dislike this music. This guy just mentioned everything happening in Nigeria in summary. Politician are looting; ritualist everywhere, fulani herds men and someone says Falz did wrong for singing this? Waoh! No wonder we are been taken advantage of. Falz this is dope and super spot on
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!
On the plus side, thank God she didn't fix those outrageous 1feet long wipers (fake eyelashes). 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 she would have looked like a mannequin. But seriously, how do ladies wash their faces with those bristles attached to their eyez?????😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
For me I don't see anything wrong with his music video..he was just passing messages across not like all this boys singing with every igbo girls name all of them evertime baby this baby mama that..I buy this..I have that..is all bulshit they are not making real music.. nothing is on there lyris to inspired when you listen..
Rara by Tekno was talking about the ills Falz is talking about. However, when Noble Igwe just last week literally risked his Life by reporting criminals and exposing what they do. Look how many people attacked him. This week now everybody has found their sense of right and wrong abi?
Now in Sierra Leone West Africa we have a lot of artists that does the same concept like falz do THIS IS SIERRA LEONE, like L.A.J , DRIZILIK,XZU B and more, bravo FALZ D BADDEST
I love how he passes his message...He’s such an incredible artist 😍😍
Patricia Ibe luyexe
Falz is so fearless and it makes me love him more.#onevoiceforus!

I disliked the video because of you mate
Zon Music I know right
Zon Music same
Young Swizy I swear
Looks like you’re going to have to come some houses. Sounds like it’s going to be a bit more painful than kidney stones.
I love this statment: we need a selfless spirit! We are so consumed with ourselves that we don't care about others. We must be awaken to the needs of those around us. We must wake up oo!
Thank you so much!
I guess we should all be thankful to Childish Gambino for the inspiration.
Trueeeee
I was also waiting for him to shout out Gambino .
Niaja swear they dislike African Americans but they sure do copy their style and swagger!!! Be original
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.
Tobi Adeniji Spot on

Bernagen White lol you've enter one chance
I dont understand, what exactly you mean?
Lol 😅 don't mind me.
I was just joking.
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.

Moses Nj but the situation of your country is not funny.

I love how humble n wise Nigerians are. Real shit! #Africa stand up #Nigeria stand up ✊🏿✌🏿
Falz got the best remix ever in the world. And the story is true to Africa and Nigeria in particular!!!!
This seems like a good man with a good heart. People of good will around the world stand with Nigeria and pray for peace and prosperity for your nation.
Greetings from California. 🇺🇸
What we lack as Nigerians is courage! Thank you Falz for going against the odds and putting this out!
At 48 I'm addicted to THIS IS NIGERIA.
Anu Anna theres no age restriction for good music, truthful message.please enjoy.
This gal from Alabama in USA loves the song. It helped me get a an actual feeling for what I was learning about in books and articles.
