    Falz the good guy?

    People were in too many feelings over the weekend when Falz dropped 鈥淭his is Nigeria鈥. It鈥檚 not just another music video, it鈥檚 a remake of Childish Gambino鈥檚 own video. Like 鈥淭his is America鈥, it focused on crucial issues happening, and how we generally respond to them. We were fascinated by peoples reactions, for example;

    Falz the Copycat!

    A ton of people attacked Falz, saying he copied Childish Gambino.. I mean it鈥檚 a parody. That鈥檚 the point of a parody, right?

    OMG Falz is buff?

    Female fans couldn鈥檛 help but notice Falz is actually built to their standards, as our guy was shirtless through the entire video! Would he get more affection now?

    This is God speaking to me, I will change Nigeria!

    Falz clearly inspired Nigerian youths, by speaking about these issues. So much that some of us are thinking of running for president! Nothing is impossible sha

    If my Presidency doesn’t work out…

    Then Falz has to be our president!

    We need a new National Anthem

    This would really bang as our national anthem right? think about it.. I know you鈥檙e thinking about it now.. okay lets start *this is Nigeriaaaa* no? okay no!

    Falz watch your back o!

    鈥淲hat if Sarz sees this and gets angry and comes for falz? omg we need to protect falz!鈥 Helppppp!!!

    Dont sing this out loud, a policeman could be around

    But did Falz really say 鈥減olice station dey close by 6, security reason oh鈥. What a wawu.

    This version is better than the original one.

    We didn鈥檛 say that, Falz鈥 die hard fans did.. we can鈥檛 tell if they鈥檙e right or wrong, but we know they鈥檇 like for us to argue with ourselves.

    If I slap you! Which version? What? where?

    Falz鈥 fans are taking this too far.. the rest of twitter believes! we鈥檙e just going to grab a bowl of popcorn and watch this wonderful fight till it ends.. *currently whistling 鈥榯his is Nigeria鈥 *

    Were there problems with some of the narratives?

    Yes, yes, but he deserves some credit for the effort. Perhaps, this should push other people to want to create socially conscious work and uplift the conversation.=
