Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has criticised the country’s leadership and religious institutions over rising insecurity, lack of accountability, and the continued cycle of poor governance.
In a recent commentary, Falz expressed frustration over recurring violent attacks across the country, lamenting that mass killings are often followed only by official statements without arrests or prosecutions.
He questioned the effectiveness of government responses and accused authorities of failing to protect citizens or deliver justice.
The rapper also faulted religious leaders for focusing on spiritual solutions while allegedly allowing politicians to use church platforms for political campaigning.
According to him, this practice contributes to voters repeatedly supporting leaders who have failed to address critical national issues.
Falz speaks on senate and electoral act
Falz further raised concerns about the refusal of lawmakers to amend the Electoral Act to allow real-time transmission of election results, suggesting that such resistance undermines electoral transparency.
He urged Nigerians to reflect on long-standing patterns in governance and civic participation, warning that meaningful change would remain elusive without accountability and informed voting.
His words …
“I don’t know what’s wrong with us. I don’t know. And I don’t know when we’re going to wake up.The other day, nearly 200 people were k**lled in Kwara. President just came, release statement, normal statement. Oh, I’m saddened by this. Bro, who has been arrested? Who has been prosecuted for this? Nobody. Nothing. Just carry on. You’re always sending people. What are they doing? Nothing. They’re k**lling scores and scores of people every day. But today, people will go to church. Your religious leader, Daddy GO, Papa, he will tell you to sit down there and pray. Pray that God will come and save you. They’ve started campaigning for the next elections. Quote, unquote, “Relax, Tinubu is fixing Nigeria.” Tinubu is fixing Nigeria. He is? Okay. They’ve announced coordinator for the east, for the west, for the south. Now, these guys will still go to these same churches. And your papa, your daddy GO, will allow them on the pulpit to campaign to you. And he will convince you that you should vote for this same e*vil. And you too, in the same cycle, in the same pattern that we’ve used for years, you too, you will follow suit and you will vote. Papa did not tell you that currently the Senate is refusing to adopt the resolution amending the Electoral Act to allow for real-time transmission of election results because they know it will not allow them to be able to rig elections. Papa will not tell you that one. Papa will just tell you to sit down there and wait and pray for spiritual solution. No problem. Let’s be waiting….”
