In other news, Falz, a Nigerian artist and rapper, has finally responded to the recent nationwide rallies against bad governance.

It is no longer news that Nigerians went on a statewide demonstration to end bad governance on August 1st; today marks the second day of the protest.

Falz, a well-known activist against terrible governance, took to the microblogging platform X to express his displeasure with President Tinubu’s inhumanity in not responding to the protest.

He questioned how long the president wants to continue pushing the masses until everything falls apart.

His words: “Genuinely don’t know why it’s so difficult to be humane. They say make you leave am, you no gree. Say na your birthright. You can’t now turn a deaf ear. You tried to make it look like the protests were “politically motivated”. Shebi una don see now? How long do you think you can keep on pushing the people back before it blows up in your face ?”

It is worth noting that Afrobeat award-winning artist Burna Boy recently gave over the title of “African Giant” to Falz after distancing himself from the nationwide protest that was canceled by Nigerians in 2020.
