Fela Durotoye was homophobic on the premiere of “On The Couch,” but Nigerians will vote for him anyway

Out from the great morass of chat shows, On The Couch looks like it might have a political slant, more concerned with aspirants contesting in the 2019 elections. Co-hosted by radio/TV personality Laila Johnson and now-problematic rap artiste Falz, the show is Nigeria’s version of the Australian television series of the same name, wherein a... Read More

The year 2018 has been a difficult one for Nigeria and its citizens. For proof, look no further than the news headlines. Violent clashes between herdsmen and local citizens over grazing rights have devolved into a full-blown security crisis across the middle belt, Boko Haram, once labelled as ‘’technically defeated’’ by government, has refused to...

#YNaijaEssays: Music is always political and protest music especially so

Falz’s This Is Nigeria seems to have become the de-facto counterpoint to Childish Gambino’s genre-bending self-examination as a black musician transitioning into mainstream spaces and having his identity suddenly become relevant to his music. Where Childish’s music is personal, Falz’s take spans a whole country. However, one of the major arguments is that somehow Falz... Read More

We know Falz means well but ‘This is Nigeria’ ends up tribalist and poorly executed

If you were really good at stretching the argument, you could probably convince a room of people that Falz is Nigeria’s Childish Gambino. Their career trajectories are quite similar, both of them have degrees and are academically gifted. Both have successful music and film careers and have been able to span several film and music...

Falz to the World, but are we ready to see the rapper play a dramatic role in “Church”?

What makes Falz’s artistry so accessible is the way it’s plugged into an offhand, lowbrow humour. His comical shtick hasn’t remained in the Jenifa’s Diary Universe, and making his Nollywood debut in the 2016 romantic comedy Couple of Days and the repackaging of his 2017 concert for cinema, he is one of the few artists...
