Former Plantashun boys member, Black Face has slammed Wizkid for calling out President Buhari on Twitter.

Police/Sarz still killing , Nigerian youth on a daily! Do something! Nothing concern u for America! Face your country !!”
In response, Blackface slammed the “Smile” singer for insulting a man old enough to be his father.

All I’m saying is we need to stop protesting on twitter because that’s all we’ve been doing.We need to protest in real life, just say u’re scared and you will rather tweet from home https://t.co/Txk7twUloy
“Protesting is never a disturbance of the peace. Corruption, injustice, war and intimidation are disturbances of the peace”
Peaceful protest
Peaceful revolution
How many young Nigerians will have to be robbed/ kidnapped/killed by SARS before our Government takes it seriously? The “Special Anti-Robbery Squad” is doing the robbing?! Such a disgrace. What will it take for our “leaders” to do something about it? #EndSARS#EndSarsNow
They are doing more of killing us than protecting us. You have lost control of your men. Take these touts in uniforms off our streets

Wizkid has reached out to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to take swift action over the recent killing of Nigerian youths by SARS.
The Governor had taken to his Instagram page to reveal that he is aware of the recent happenings in the state and that proper actions would be taken speedily. “The safety of our residents is my number one duty as the CSO of Lagos. So, reading reports of seemingly unlawful exploitation by the people charged to protect is very worrying & needs to be addressed immediately. Be assured that appropriate actions will be taken, & speedily too.”
Wizkid in response reminded him of their meeting in December 2019 where he spoke about how proud he is of the entertainment industry. Wizkid urged him to do something about the current situation so citizens can also be proud of him. He wrote: “Mr Governor! I met with you in December 2019! You expressed how proud you are of the entertainment industry and all we do. Pls do something let’s be proud of you too abeg ! #Endsars!!

This is coming after Wizkid slammed Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari for reaching out to Donald Trump after he tested positive for the coronavirus while SARS are killing youths on innocent youths on a daily basis. According to him, the welfare of the US president is none of his business as the police and Sarz have continued to kill youths like chickens.
He advised him to face his country and do something about the killings. He wrote: “Donald Trump is not your business! ,Old man! Police/Sarz still killing, Nigerian youth on a daily! Do something!, Nothing concern u for America! , Face your country !!”
Wizkid has slammed Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari for reaching out to Donald Trump while SARS are killing youths on innocent youths on a daily basis.
American President, Donald Trump, and his wife, Melania recently tested positive for the coronavirus and the president took to his official Instagram page to wish the couple a speedy recovery. “I wish US President, Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, quick and full recovery from Covid-19.”
However, this statement did not go down with millions of Nigerians who are currently fighting for the disbandment of the dreaded and controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad popular known as SARZ as the number of killings from the unit has continued to rise up. Wizkid who also happened to be irate took to his Twitter page to lambast the president over misplaced priorities.

Cos we in Celebration Quarter of the year (Ember months) This Vol.1, Stay tuned for Volume 2 (Soon Come).
Nigeria celebrated 60 years of independence and there were mixed feelings about it. While some artistes were unfazed by the ills plaguing the country and spread positivity with their music, there are some artistes that have reminded Nigerians of the harsh reality they live in. Their songs speak of all the things wrong with the country.
“Songs For Corrupt Nigerian Leaders“… From poverty, corruption, lack of basic social amenities, poor education, insecurity, Nigerians feel there is nothing to celebrate. This article seeks to highlight 16 songs that addresses the high rate of corruption in the land.
Songs For Corrupt Nigerian Leaders
Fela – “Authority Stealing”
From the godfather of Afrobeats himself, Fela compares the crimes of an armed robber to a person in power stealing. The armed robber would be lynched or thrown in jail for stealing a petty amount, meanwhile, the man in authority would get away with it. Or even be praised. “Authority people them go dey steal, Public contribute plenty money, Na authority people dey steal.”
He also listed out the crimes of those in power “Misappropriation, Maladministration, Nepotism, Mitigation, Make I remember another one wey them dey use, Defraudment, Forgerylization,, Embezzlement, Vilification, Mismanagement, Public inquiry”
Eedris Abdulkareem – “Jaga Jaga”
It seems Eedris saw the future when he wrote this song. “Jaga Jaga” was released during the administration of ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo, a time when corruption was gradually gaining momentum. ‘Jaga Jaga’ which is a popular slang used to describe something in a state of chaos or disarray was attributed to the situation of the country at that moment. “Nigeria jagajaga, Everything scatter scatter, Poor, man dey suffer suffer, Gbosa, gbosa, gun shot inna di air, Armed robber came to your house, Eno thief money, eno rape your wife Went straight up to your bedside”
This song was so powerful and controversial that it put him at loggerheads with then Olusegun Obasanjo and it was eventually banned off radio waves by reason of its supposedly non-gratifying lyrics as they were subject on the nation’s goings-on. 18 years later, it still describes Nigeria’s situation because Nigeria is still Jaga Jaga.
African China – “Mr President”
“Mr President” is one of African China’s most notable tracks till date. The socially conscious song emphasizes on the struggles of Nigerians on a daily basis. “Food e no dey, Brother eh water no dey, And our country no good o, Everyday for thief, One day for owner e, Poor man, wey thief maggi, Omo, dem go show ehm face for crime fighter”
China also calls on all Nigerian politicians from the President himself to a senator to lead the nation well. “Rich man go dey halla pe ah (modupe) Poor man go dey shout (Amolawe), Make una lead us well, No let this nation to fall inside well, Mr. President (lead us well), If you be governor (Govern us well) If you be senator (Senate am well) If you be police (police well well) Oya lead us well”
Tekno – “Rara”
In the same fashion, Tekno addressed the issues plaguing modern day Nigeria. The singer seeks to encourage Nigerians to try to stay positive amongst the suffering and corruption. He begins the track talking about a major issue in Nigeria- Electricity. Tekno sings “NEPA no bring light oh, ‘NEPA no bring light ooh, aah, Generator wan tear my ear,Generator wan tear my ear ooh-oh-oh”
He doesn’t leave out the corrupt politicians who steal public funds and load it offshore accounts because they can not be investigated or traced. “Them packi our money oh, Take it to other nation (oh no-no), Investi for your country oh, make it a better place, Spendi money for your country oh, make it a better place”.
Falz released this direct jab at Nigerian politicians just before the 2019 elections. It was aimed at reminding Nigerians about the dirty and shady schemes of the politicians. “Talk” addresses Nigeria’s ills in detailed and witty lyrics. At the start of the song, Falz speaks on the controversy of religious pundits attacking him over his use of the hijab to reflect the condition of the Chibok girls captured by Boko Haram. He warns against electoral violence in the next line “election don dey come dem go need your support“.
He also throws shade to the politicians who like to fly out of the country to treat themselves and for other reasons that remain undisclosed. ““4 year tenure, 3 year holiday”. In summary, Falz urged the youths to speak up for what they truly want.
Sound Sultan – “Bushmeat (Ole)” ft 2baba
Veteran singer, Sound Sultan teamed up with 2Baba and W4 in 2008 to speak about the corruption in the country. He sings “One day bushmeat go catch the hunter” before urging people to shout “Ole” which means ‘Thief’. He sings about how the government doesn’t care about the millions of citizens who are living in poverty. He also sings about the common practice of getting a job in Nigeria which is through connections (Knowing somebody to secure a job, Padi-Padi).
2Face – “For Instance”
Released from his iconic album “Grass To Grace,” 2baba sang about how he would make the country a better place if he was given the opportunity to rule. “For instance, Say na me be one wey dey give chance, Say na me be one wey dey make plans, For all man to benefit abi, To make we disagree, To agree to create chance”.
He sings about the corrupt politicians who have ignored the existence of Nigerians who put them in power. “But now I am not of importance, Cos now I am looking from a distance, That’s why you give them the chance. To do us and turn us to victim of circumstance, Them just dey ignore our existence, Them get us use do excuse to buy chance.”. And also how the politicians pack the country’s money and resource abroad to foreign lands leaving the citizens to suffer in abundance.
Falz – ‘This Is Nigeria”
Another brilliant masterpiece from Falz which addresses the country’s worst problems one reference at a time. The track is his take on Childish Gambino’s groundbreaking “This is America” video. According to Falz, the song “addresses numerous political and social ills”, and is an attempt “to spark a reaction in the positive direction”.
The captivating visuals highlights played out the everyday struggles of Nigerians from political corruption, Police brutality/violence, to extreme religious practice, and terrorism. It even captured the snake that swallowed 36 million Naira which is yet another example of the absurdity of Nigeria’s daily corruption.
Yemi Alade – “Criminal In Agbada” (CIA)
Released off her “Woman Of Steel” album, Yemi takes a direct jab at corrupt politicians describing them as “Dirty Criminals in Agbada.”Mr criminal criminal in agbada, Very dirty politician, Criminal in agbada“. The same people who steal from the country are the same men that treat citizens like criminals.
“Na who be thief na who be criminal, Shebi na the man wey dey take all of the money na, Na the same man wey say he go free me na.The same man wey con dey treat me like a prisioner, Na who be thief na who be criminal, .”
Listen!
Tiwa Savage – “Ole” ft Naira Marley
Listening to this track at first listen might give the impression that it’s another song to call out debtors but a closer look gives out the real intention. Tiwa and Naira Marley throw heavy shade at Nigerian politicians who they describe as thieves.” “Because sey I quiet no mean sey I be fool, Lori titi awon temi ti kanaku hmmm… E ba mi ki gbe ole (ole ole), Come and see ole (ole ole), Somebody shout ole (ole ole), Ki gbe ole (ole ole), Come and see ole (ole ole), Somebody shout ole (ole ole)..”

Burna Boy – “Collateral Damage”
From his Grammy nominated album “African Giant,” which made it to Obama’s playlist, Burna Boy speaks on issues of corruption, oppression, and nonchalant attitude of the youths as a whole to take an unflinching stance for their rights. In the hook, Burna sings about how the high ranked officials in government from the Ambassador to the President cart away with funds meant to better the country. “Ambassador go dey chop, And Governor go dey chop, And President go dey chop”
Burna says Nigerians fear what they do not see but they have a reason to be scared. “My people serve they fear too much, We fear the thing we no see, One day all of us go die, We always get reason to fear.Fight for your right o you go to fear, Police go slap you,you go to fear, Fight for your pikin dem no go to fear, You go to fear fear fear”

2face – “E Be Like Say” ft Soul E
Another iconic track from his “Grass to Grace” album, 2baba sings bout the dirty games politicians play especially when elections are near. “It seems like you’ve been playing me all the while, So many times, you asked to put the whole of my trust in you, So many times, you betrayed and played me for a fool, Why don’t we work together so the future would be brighter. Cos, e be like you and I, We dey need each other all the time”.
He sings about being tired and done with the empty promises year after year. “Another year has come, And now you want my trust once more Oh no, Chorus, E be, like say you want me to tell me another story again oh”
He tells people that the government doesn’t care about the welfare of Nigerians as all they want to get is the money because they believe it gives them power. But if the people have no peace, education, power is nothing. “They don’t really care about us, Because all they want to do is to get in touch with big bucks, Because they think the money gives them the power, But the power is nothing, If your people cannot get quality education, The power is nothing, If your people keep on dying of disease and starvation”

“Situation in this nation, Disposition, our condition, Unexplainable pain in our hearts not to mention, Brothers killing brothers for the wages adoration, Resolutions are made, For all we’ve made we lack conviction ,And perfection is the order as we keep seeking solutions Only God can solve, this mathematical equation.”

Nobody wants to hear the truth because we are all hypocrites. Released off his 2019 “Moral Instruction” album, Falz again addresses the wild socio-economic and political ills that continue to plague the society. A nation where old corrupt politicians are recycled, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
“What about the really greedy politician, Acting like he really care for the layman, And what about even you voters, wey dey act like say you only see two jokers, Recycle the same corrupt men, later you complain you say you hate the government, And the fake prophet, some dey for convent.”

American rapper and music mogul, Dr Dre has won the case against his estranged wife, Nicole Young.
The rapper will not have to pay his estranged wife, Nicole Young $6.5 million in expenses following their divorce. Nicole had requested that Dr. Dre, 55, pay $5million in fees she’s spent on their divorce as well as $1.5 million her for various expenses, such as security as her legal team said she’s been threatened amid the split.
The judge, however, dismissed her request, noting that she had previously fired a security detail the rapper had hired for her. TMZ reported that Young’s legal team argued that she wanted to hire her own team because Dr. Dre was using the security team hired by him to control her. “She claimed Dre threatened to fire the security if they didn’t follow his orders,”
Dr. Dre’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, said that the rapper is still willing to pay all of Young’s expenses pending the divorce, including a security detail. The judge ordered that Nicole could select a private security company for her personal protection, but it can’t cost more than Dre was paying.
The judge also rejected Young’s request to have a January hearing regarding the $5 million for attorney’s fees moved up to this year. According to the judge, there are serious domestic violence and custody cases he has to deal with, and that if she felt her life was in danger, she should file for a restraining order from the rapper.
Earlier this week, Dre rejected his estranged wife’s request that he pay $2 million in monthly spousal support expenses, claiming that he’s already footing the bill for her every need. Dre and Nicole Young married in 1996. It was the first marriage for the rapper as Nicole was previously married to NBA player Sedale Threatt. The pair share two adult children together, daughter Truly Young, 19, and son Truice Young, 23. The rapper also has four children from previous relationships.
