Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, said Nigeria needs a general overhaul due to the worsening econonmy and hardship experienced by citizens of a country.
The rapper stated this during an interview with Nigerian OAP, Osi Suave, while addressing the state of the nation ahead of the 2023 general election.
Falz also stated that he would rather die fighting for a cause than getting knocked down by a biker on a road where there’s no proper traffic control.
He said, “We need a very large and general overhaul. A lot of things need to be revamped. Some argue even the constitution needs amendment.”
Speaking on why he doesn’t fear lambasting the governments, bad governance, and speaking “truth to power”, Falz said Nigeria is already at rock bottom.
He said “It’s a rough environment we’re living in. But I feel like there’s nothing to be scared of when you’re already at rock bottom. That’s how everyone should be feeling. It can’t get much worse than this.
“Why would I fear for my life when the kind we exist in is not exciting. Basic amenities are unavailing. Every Nigerian is one small sickness away from either going broke or passing away. What kind of life is that?
Falz further lamted that there’s nothing to be happy about or fear for in a life that’s fickle and fragile “What’s there to be happy about or fear for in life so fickle and fragile? I’d rather die fighting for a cause than getting knocked down by a biker because there’s no proper traffic control. It’s as simple as that.”
KanyiDaily recalls that last year, Falz rejected the invitation of Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to a peace walk for “the healing of Lagos” in commemoration of the #EndSARS movement.
