Reactions to Falz’ new video actually confirm that “This is Nigeria”

Falz the good guy?

People were in too many feelings over the weekend when Falz dropped “This is Nigeria”. It’s not just another music video, it’s a remake of Childish Gambino’s own video. Like “This is America”, 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’s a parody. That’s the point of a parody, right?

Childish Gabino’s Concept, Falz issa Copy 🐱 ….Love it though 😁😁

OMG Falz is buff?

Female fans couldn’t 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?

Falz just wanted to show us his tight body. 😀 But jokes aside this is a brilliant video — so well executed and so timely. Let’s make this video trend! Watch it. Share it!

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

‘falz has inspired me to run for presidency 😭😭’ @falzthebahdguy

We need a new National Anthem

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

Henceforth, we the people of Nigeria adopt #ThisIsNigeria by falz as our national anthem.

Falz watch your back o!

“What if Sarz sees this and gets angry and comes for falz? omg we need to protect falz!” Helppppp!!!

Wouldn’t be surprised if Falz’s #ThisIsNigeria gets banned.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the government should send their dogs EFCC, DSS, Police, SARS or even the Military after Falz.
These issues are long over due to be voiced, and the government’s insensitivity is simply amazing!

This version is better than the original one.

We didn’t say that, Falz’ die hard fans did.. we can’t tell if they’re right or wrong, but we know they’d like for us to argue with ourselves.

Let’s settle this once & for all, who killed the concept? 🙅‍♀️

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

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

Y’all gotta chill at times and slow down. You can’t compare parody/remix with the real version.

Falz wouldn’t have come up with the concept if Gambino didn’t invent it. They both passed the msg so rest! https://t.co/yi2Uz0Czju

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.=
