Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has openly expressed his views about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that the word “hardship” immediately comes to mind whenever he hears the president’s name.
In a recent interview with Soundcity, the “Wehdone Sir” crooner was asked what immediately comes to mind when he hears the name of Nigeria’s president. Without hesitation, Falz responded: “Hardship. No elaboration.”
Falz’s comment reflects growing frustration among Nigerians over the country’s economic challenges under the current administration.
Just last month, the rapper also criticized the state of the nation in an interview with Arise TV. He argued that Nigeria has regressed under Tinubu’s leadership, noting that little progress has been made since the start of his tenure. He further stated that the President still has two years left in office to prove himself and deliver real change.
Falz, known for using music and public platforms to speak out against social and political issues, continues to be one of the most vocal celebrity critics of the Nigerian government.
In other news, Popular social media personality and health advocate, Aproko Doctor, has shed light on the powerful role of beliefs, storytelling, and everyday conversations in shaping human behaviour and societal values.
Speaking recently on the significance of shaping narratives, the medical doctor—whose real name is Dr. Chinonso Egemba explained that many of today’s behaviours are rooted in long-held stories and cultural beliefs passed down through generations.
“When you look at the behaviors we currently see in society, they were shaped by the beliefs and stories we’ve told ourselves over time,” he said. “They were built by the conversations people have whether through life experiences or matters of the heart.”
He emphasized that communal conversations play a pivotal role in forming behavioural norms. According to him, the dominant culture within any society is a direct reflection of what its people regularly discuss and cherish.
“If you examine the prevailing culture in a particular place, look at what is in their hearts and the conversations they are having. Those are the elements that shape behavior. So, if we can influence what people are talking about, we can influence how they behave it’s all about how the message is told.”
Aproko Doctor, known for simplifying complex health topics for the average Nigerian, continues to use his platforms to promote awareness around health, lifestyle, and social change—encouraging meaningful dialogue as a tool for societal transformation.
