Growing up, Falz witnessed firsthand the positive impact his father had on people's lives, which sparked his own desire to emulate him. "Everyone had a story about how my dad came to their aid… At that point, I wasn't pressured; I aspired to emulate what he was doing," Falz said.

The post Madam Dearest Lyrics by Dotti The Deity Feat. Falz appeared first on NotjustOk.

Bobrisky recently revealed his struggles with depression and suicidal ideation following allegations of bribing EFCC officers with N15 million. The controversy began with a leaked audio detailing his jail experience and claims of Falz offering to secure a presidential pardon through his father, Femi Falana.

However, Portable responded to Bobrisky's distress call, emphasizing the importance of seeking forgiveness and repentance.

"Life is risky... God doesn't want sinners to die. Tell him to repent. If you die as a sinner, you're going to hell. Beg God to forgive you," Portable urged.

Furthermore, he encouraged Bobrisky to seek redemption, stating, "All he needs is to ask God for forgiveness of sin. What Bobrisky is facing now, if he repents, he will enjoy the world."

Portable's plea comes as a call to action for Bobrisky to reevaluate his lifestyle and seek spiritual guidance.

The post Portable urges Bobrisky to seek forgiveness, repentance amid suicidal thoughts appeared first on NotjustOk.

The audio, leaked by online critic Vincent Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan) with Seun Kuti's approval, claimed Falz and his father, Femi Falana, demanded N10 million from Bobrisky for a presidential pardon after his arrest.

So, Seun Kuti, who initially approved sharing the leaked call, clarified his stance on Instagram. He stated: "I know Uncle Femi very well... That part about Femi Falana is a scam."

Also, Kuti cited his personal experiences with Femi Falana, who reportedly represented him pro bono in three cases with Nigerian law enforcement.

"Uncle Femi Falana is so effing rich... If he believes someone is wrongfully convicted, he'll get them pardoned without asking for anything."

However, Seun Kuti expressed uncertainty about Falz's involvement, suggesting: "Maybe Falz fit talk to Bobrisky, take him papa dey brag... That's the only way, it doesn't reach Uncle Femi's side."

Lastly, the scandal has sparked controversy, with many questioning the authenticity of Bobrisky's claims.

The post Seun Kuti defends Femi Falana amid Bobrisky scandal, expresses doubts about Falz's involvement appeared first on NotjustOk.

Nigerian ace rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has given socialite Verydarkman 24 hours to retract his statement regarding the rapper and his father’s alleged involvement in a money laundering case.

Recall that on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, social media figure Verydarkman shared an explosive audio clip implicating Falz in a controversial situation. In the recording, socialite Bobrisky accused a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son of helping him evade charges—a situation Verydarkman alleged involved Falz and his father, the prominent SAN Femi Falana, in securing Bobrisky’s legal backing.

The audio also claimed that certain EFCC officers demanded ₦15 million from Bobrisky to drop the money laundering charges. Bobrisky admitted to paying the bribe, revealing that, rather than serving time in prison for naira abuse, he was detained in a private apartment.

During a recent Instagram Live session, Kuti disclosed that social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) initially shared an audio recording with him, which implicated Bobrisky in a money laundering case. The recording allegedly revealed that the EFCC accepted a N15 million bribe to drop the charges.

In the audio, Bobrisky claimed he did not serve his jail term and mentioned rapper Falz and his father, human rights lawyer Femi Falana.

Meanwhile, Kuti stated that he encouraged VDM to expose Bobrisky and the EFCC after reviewing the evidence. The musician, who has experienced his own share of run-ins with the law, highlighted the disparity in treatment.

Also, he questioned why Bobrisky received preferential treatment. "I served my jail term, so why was Bobrisky freed?" Kuti asked.

However, Seun Kuti's involvement adds another layer to the controversy surrounding Bobrisky's allegations against the EFCC. The case has sparked widespread debate about corruption and unequal treatment within Nigeria's justice system.

The post Lifestyle Lyrics by DJ Shawn Ft Pheelz, Falz & Magnito appeared first on NotjustOk.

In times of national protest, these songs become more than just entertainment; they serve as anthems for a generation demanding justice and a better future.

Here, we spotlight 17 Afrobeats songs about bad governance that capture the spirit of resistance, transforming music into a tool for social and political activism.

1. Mr. President – African China

Firstly, Mr. President by African China is a direct appeal to Nigerian leaders, calling for respectful and effective governance. Released in 2004, the song highlights the need for integrity and dignity in leadership, urging the president to “lead us well.” As the issues addressed in the song remain relevant in 2024, Mr. President continues to resonate as a call for accountable leadership and meaningful societal reform. African China’s bold lyrics and the song’s enduring message make it a powerful commentary on the state of governance in Nigeria.

2. Zombie – Fela Kuti

Secondly, a seminal work in the Afrobeat genre, Fela Kuti’s Zombie is a scathing indictment of the Nigerian military regime. Released in 1977, the track immediately resonated with the masses, serving as both a powerful anthem and social commentary. Also, Fela Kuti used his music as a weapon to expose the brutality and senselessness of the government’s actions, likening soldiers to mindless zombies. This song, along with others like Beast of No Nation and Ikoyi Mentality, solidified Fela as a revolutionary figure, inspiring generations of musicians and activists.

3. This Is Nigeria – Falz

Furthermore, Falz’s This Is Nigeria is a searing critique of the nation’s numerous challenges, inspired by Childish Gambino’s This Is America. The song and its accompanying video lay bare the pervasive corruption, police brutality, and socio-political issues that plague Nigeria. Also, through a mix of satire and provocative imagery, Falz fearlessly exposes the nation’s darkest truths, sparking essential conversations about the urgent need for change and accountability. This song has become a cultural touchstone, underlining its significance in Afrobeats music that tackles bad governance.

4. Jaga Jaga – Eedris AbdulKareem

However, Eedris AbdulKareem’s Jaga Jaga is a landmark protest song in Nigerian music, released in 2004. The track is a raw and uncompromising indictment of a nation grappling with systemic failures. The term Jaga Jaga refers to chaos and disorder, perfectly capturing the public’s disillusionment with the government. Eedris’ fearless delivery transformed Jaga Jaga into an anthem for the marginalized, sparking a national discourse on corruption and inequality. The song’s enduring relevance underscores its impact as a rallying cry for accountability and good governance.

5. Monsters You Made – Burna Boy

Meanwhile, Monsters You Made is a deeply personal track by Burna Boy, exploring themes of marginalization and injustice. The song features spoken word excerpts from African icons Fela Kuti and Ama Ata Aidoo, setting the stage for a powerful exploration of systemic racism. With a haunting chorus by Chris Martin, the song accuses power structures of creating "monsters" through oppression. This track serves as a powerful anthem that reclaims agency and challenges the narratives imposed by oppressors.

6. Barawo – Ajebo Hustlers

Additionally, Ajebo Hustlers’ Barawo is a critical commentary on Nigeria’s issue of mob justice. The duo’s lyrics and melodies combine to create an anthem against extrajudicial killings and systemic corruption. The song’s title, meaning "thief," is used ironically to highlight the baseless accusations often leading to mob violence. Although, the refrain “This country na wa” captures the nation’s collective frustration, humanizing victims and demanding accountability. The remix featuring Davido amplified the track’s reach and message. This makes Barawo a cultural touchstone that continues to spark conversations about justice and societal change.

7. 20 10 20 – Burna Boy
