Falz, a Nigerian rapper and activist, has lambasted the country’s leadership and religious organisations for increased insecurity, a lack of accountability, and the ongoing cycle of terrible governance.
In a recent editorial, Falz voiced displeasure with the country’s reoccurring violent attacks, stressing that mass fatalities are frequently followed by official declarations with no arrests or punishment.
He questioned the efficiency of government actions and accused officials of failing to safeguard residents and provide justice.
The rapper also chastised religious leaders for focusing on spiritual issues while supposedly enabling politicians to exploit church platforms for political campaigns.
According to him, this behaviour contributes to voters regularly electing leaders who have failed to address major national concerns.
Falz also expressed alarm over politicians’ failure to alter the Electoral Act to allow real-time transmission of election results, claiming that such resistance threatens electoral openness.
He asked Nigerians to focus on long-standing patterns of government and civic involvement, saying that significant change would be impossible without accountability and informed voting.

“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….”
