Nigerian singer and human rights activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has spoken about why he uses music to criticise the ills of the government.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, the rapper explained that life in Nigeria is meaningless, noting that he is not afraid of death.
Falz said his recent song with Vector, ‘Yakubu,’ named after the chairman of the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, was to highlight the injustice in the just concluded elections.

In the song, Vector and Falz stated that the just-concluded elections were marred by electoral fraud, manipulation, and violence.
Falz stated that he would rather die fighting for justice than keep silent and perish as a result of the nation’s broken system.
The rapper, who joined the programme from the United Kingdom through Skype, said:
“I have released tons of records that are very confrontational. And I was on ground. I’m always on ground when I released these records. It is not to say that I’m running anywhere. Absolutely not. Everyone know where to find me. If anyone wants to find me. But I have no reason to fear anything. And I always say this when people ask me ‘How do you do these things without any fear of consequences?
