so tell me the context of this chorus miss.

tempest01:
She made sense .... that line was wrong...we are not all criminals. apart from that, the song was on point

oloyede252:

so "everybody is a criminal " is art.
brother you're part of the 99%

oloyede252:

so "everybody is a criminal " is art.
brother you're part of the 99%

Slimdoug:

Common sense you don't have

Dank1u:

Go and listen to the song, it's the most beautiful piece of art.
But someone said, falz music is not for dummies, the problem is, most Nigerians are not free thinkers, we require people to think for us, listen to music for us , and to interpret to us. No wonder we have Buhhaha as President. It's a shame that close to 90% could not get the message.

INTERLUDE 4
But What Happens Everyday Is That, The System Has Allows It

For Instance, There’s No Law That Allows You To Take Money From The Church
Invest In Business And Privatise It. Noo
It Is Only In Nigeria , Where You Can Take Money From The Church, Money You Contributed By Poor Congregation Members, You Go And Setup A University That The Members Cannot Attend, Cannot Send Their Children To. It’s Against The Rule Of The Law Of God, It’s Against Our Constitution.

SexytorresE:
lol, funny how u can write all this but not understanding it This is really Nigeria...

tunjijones:
I know there are many criminals in Nigeria but there are millions of us that are not criminals that earn a legit wage that pays tax, and that are not happy the way other nationals treat us. So Mr falz am a Nigerian and am not a criminal

Litmus:
I feel so sorry for young Nigerians.You young ones, I shake my head, you'r young, you enjoy the music ,feel part of some imaginey brave new Youth World of edgy fashion and movement, so you suppport false FAlz insulting you and you tolerate the individual, frankly evil and wicked individuals that go around claiming , yes all Nigerians are criminals or the majority have criminal tendency and so on. They are evil becuse they know full well that claiming you are all criminals or criminal minded ONLY Damages your future. Many with such opinions may not even be Nigerians and in thire wicked hearts they want you to be less of a competition to them and thire nation. I am now in the wrong half of my mid thirties, well-to-do, nothing can touch me except death, probably will not step foot in Nigeria again till the day I die, cause I want to be buried in my homeland Nigeria.The politician whether they are good or bad will generally be okay and so too business people - good ones or bad ones. But you? I am addressing you Young ones, anyone tells the whole world that you, as Nigerians, are corrupt, criminals or majority this way inclined, is stealing your future at least as effectively as any bad government. Be they Buhari, Falz, Falz's collaborators that come here to fill your head with nonsense such as 'you didn't go to school so you don't understand irony'. They are stealing your future: in terms of discouraging investment that could provide you Jobs. In addition to this,make it difficult for you to leave Nigeria after they have helped distroy Nigeria: in terms of providing foreign nations the additional excuse they need to prevent you from coming to thire country - after all you are the so called corrupt and criminal ones.

SexytorresE:
To my understanding, what he meant "everybody is a criminal" could be base on how the police or Nigeria force treat the harmless civilians. And why is it only the "everybody is a criminal they saw? What about the other lines? Lazy Nigeria woman in another man's land telling us sh*t . Those are the kind of song our artist are even supposed to be singing now at this moment until the greedy leaders change. I missed Idris abdulkareem on this, Nigeria jagajaga should be remix now

lifedynamics:



Ehnn ooo...she won't listen to the whole song... It's one line she has been quoting... So we should be singing about the greatness of Nigeria, while people are robbing us, some stupid terrorists called herdsmen are killing innocents, some retards are hailing themselves while defrauding foreigners, embassies look at us like criminals, foreigners see us as terrorists and looters... With all these problems we should be singing about Bumbum and money?
So because people are making us proud(90% are abroad btw), we should praise Nigeria and ignore our problems?
Falz is "spoiling rep" which rep does she think we have before?

I think she has spent too much time with whites to the extent that they deceive her into thinking they respect her for being Nigerian. I'm in a white man's country I know these guys, they see us as nothing more than mere Africans.

SexytorresE:
don't mind her, she deleted the bashing she got on facebook

Litmus:


Is Faz in Nigeria?
