Falz Yakubu

The presidential, gubernatorial, national assembly and state assembly elections of the largest black nation on earth, Nigeria have been concluded, but Nigerians aren’t having it due to the slapdash electoral malpractice, violence and lack of transparency. The election conducted by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yabuku has been condemned by many international and local observers, as well as well-meaning Nigerians. The election has also been regarded by many as the worst in Nigeria’s democratic history. To that effect, renowned Nigerian rappers, Falz and Vector have decided to express their views about the election in their latest single ‘Yakubu’ titled after the INEC Chairman.

On the new single ‘Yakubu’, Falz and Vector represent frustrated Nigerians who have been constantly oppressed, and denied their constitutional right to vote. With lyrics such as: “Mr Yakubu! Ę ma ń se bi fraudster, you don’t want to prosper, come and collect, oscar 300 billion te gbà lówó ìjoba, kí le fi se ná sir,” Falz didn’t hold back, the rapper calls out the INEC, INEC Chairman, and corrupt political parties allegedly involved in the electoral malpractices. Vector had some critical points to buttress as well, the rapper had a lot to say about the electoral process, the court jurisdiction and of course, the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yabuku.

‘Yabuku’ serves as Falz’s second official single for 2023 and is a follow-up to the previously released ‘Owa’ featuring Tekno. As regards production credit, Chillz has it to claim. The video on the other hand was co-directed by Oyetwopointo and Falz.

Lyrics

[Verse 1 : Falz, Vector]
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
You don’t want to prosper
Come and collect Oscar
Three hundred billion te gba lọwọ ijọba
Kí le fi se ná sir? (A ti fi je mossa)
Twitter dey talk
This one go hot
Other chairman corrupt but
This one is not
Youth sef dey talk
When we protest, they shot
Make we carry PVC
Make we see wetin go sup (Go sup)
Suddenly, e scatter
Area boy ti jagba
As ole dey japa
Ọlọpa dey guide am
You wayo the number
The portal, e shut down
You drop us the lamba
Somebody e hack am

[Chorus: Falz, Vector]
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudstеr (Ah ah)
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudstеr (Ah ah, are you calling a dignity-?)
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster

[Verse 2: Vector]
The same Mr Yakubu?, who?
Oju at’ọrun?
Ẹnu no dey work (Work)
Ọpọlọ ti burst (Burst)
Na who do the law? (Law)
Na who kill the law? (Law)
Who people go ask? (Law)
Na who dem go call? (Law)
I been dey my own (Dey my own)
Shey make I do like I no know wetin I know? (Wey I know)
Or make I do like I no see wetin I see? (See)
Shey make I be person wey no be wetin I be? (Wey I be)
You must be stupid if you think you have a case (Have a case)
Mr Yakubu who came from out of space (Out of space)
Mr Yakubu who is not like Gowon (No)
He’s not head of state (No)
He doesn’t need a gun (No, no)
He took the results verified by a lot (Yes)
The honorable court even ruled back then that all parties can go ahead and access the source of their claims
Mr Yakubu is just a name

[Chorus: Falz, Vector]
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster (First argument
I’ll leave the rest for the next argument)
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
(Calling me names)

[Verse 3: Falz]
Yeah!
Ki lo wi?
Talk am make I hear (Make I hear)
Ole
Alatenuje
You want lie say the cheddar no flow
The right thing na wetin you no know?
Lion no dey sleep for jungle
As the breeze blow, fowl nyash e don show
Lion no dey sleep for jungle
As the breeze blow, fowl nyash e don show
Thank you my lord
I respect you my lord
Unreasonable tribal prejudice galore
Sebi wọn ti sanwo? ẹ ti sáré kọ
O wa sọ fun p’o ti jọba tan, kan ma gbadebọ
No be say the job clean, dem no get janitor
Evidence everywhere, everybody capture
Wetin you come write for inside your report card?
You think two hundred million people are not smart?

[Chorus: Falz]
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
Mr Yakubu! ẹ ma n se bi fraudster
