The song "Talk" by Falz is a commentary on the social and political issues facing Nigeria today. The lyrics speak to issues of corruption, hypocrisy, and social injustice. Falz urges people to always speak up against these issues, to challenge authority, and to hold leaders responsible for their actions. The repeated refrain of "anything I talk make you talk am again" acts as a call to action, a demand for accountability, and a means of encouraging listeners to speak truth to power.
The song addresses a range of issues including the misuse of religion and politics, corruption, the lack of accountability, and social injustice. Falz criticizes those in power and those who support them for their hypocritical behavior, highlighting how they claim to be doing good while exploiting the masses. He also calls out the masses for being complacent, and not holding their leaders accountable, even when they are clearly not fulfilling their promises.
Overall, the song encourages a culture of activism, one that is rooted in truth and the desire for change. Falz urges people to be vocal about their experiences and to use their voices to hold those in power accountable. The song ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking up, even in the face of oppression.

Why can’t we appreciate each of them?
What if I said to you that you can keep Falz in Nigeria we have Nas here in the states . How would that sound to you ?
I am Afro-American I am feeling Falz music . I am becoming a huge fam of him. The next time he is in the States I will certainly support. More people over here are now discovering his work.
You can not keep a great mind hidden for too long it is bound to reveal it source .
I love artists that wake up the consciousness of people. (Especially black/african people )

Nas is not a Nigerian immigrant . He is a descendant of enslaved Africans who were kidnap and forcibly brought to the Americas though slavery (in this particularly case N. American) who built the United States of America.
Africans were in America in bondage for over 150 years (1619 actually even earlier then this) before the united states was actually form into a country and had gain its independence from Britain in 1776.
Which means those Africans were literally some the first natural born citizens of a new country called “The United States of America” formed in 1776.
There would be no United States country/empire if has not been for those brave Africans whom built it from the scratch up.
Thanks to technology today Nas was able to traced his roots back to Nigeria. He was pleasantly shocked way when he found out. Nas loves Africa . He looks up to Africa .
Everyone should look up to Africa .
@bamjoshy
Love the intro - highlighting the era of technology killing obtuse atrophied brains of the inhumane old guards. Hence why the dad dropped his phone (whist having a seizure) and it’s a young boy (the future) that’s taking control of the game - the youth are taking over the polity. Perhaps also hinting that next month elections will shock the old behemoths.
Also Notice the juxtaposition between the not so modern game console (a representation that Nigeria isn't yet advanced technologically & still stuck in archaic game console) and the Benin kingdom relic (Benin kingdom civilisation technology) giving the son powers to make the right decisions and defeat the old order. i.e. the spirits of our ancestors are going to empower the youth to take control of their sovereignty, destiny and country.
Perhaps you have noticed other inconspicuous messages in the video: the PDP & umbrella had a low life RED power line. The APC & broom had an RED & AMBER power lines. While the Eagle- Falz (other) & Mace (a symbol of WE THE PEOPLE sovereign authority had full GREEN power lines. You can see this when the son had to select who to vote for. Falz is pushing for the alternative to the inhumane corrupt behemoths of PDP = APC.
Als check out, the scene where the bucket of water poured was shielded by the umbrella. At the backdrop of this scene is a transformer. Perhaps hinting on the inhumane corrupt behemoths not wanting Nigerians to ever have steady power supply or a jab at the GENCO, DISCO, TCN.
The whole video is encrypted down to the artwork of the album cover. If you get spare time, zoom in on a picture of the art work covering the album. Both front and back. There are texts written in small prints with messages.

Let's not forget that Buhari came with the same mantra of change, stronghand integrity, former general, war against indiscipline pioneer, look where we are economically today. World poverty capital. You can't close your shop and chase criminals for four years and hope to achieve results.
We need someone with a world view, visionary leadership who is strategically and economically viable with concrete plans not a media guru, calling bad people out and punishing them alone is not enough to solve Nigeria's problems.
Rather, fixing the national identity while laying foolproof strategic structures in place for human capital development and economic growth is the way forward.
We are not fools, we're naturally gifted with bright minds the world is yet to discover, we need to reclaim our title as giant of Africa with an economy that reflects that, every Nigerian should be made to understand basic economics and appreciate policies that foster growth and well-being for our people.
Enough of worshipping the god of small things(oil revenues), harbouring tribalism and social divides. Our strength lies in our unity with one shared vision to make Nigeria a force to be reckoned with globally. So that when we bring out our passport, globally you command respect because from the President downwards to the reformed education system and vibrant economy they know what stuff you are made of and that our graduates are not coming to clean their toilets.
Why would our youths and bright minds be fleeing our country, dying in the Sahara desert, joining militant groups, dying in the Mediterranean sea in search of greener pastures when our country is made comfortable and economically strong with self sustainable development goals in place for generations to come to thank us for?
That's where Moghalu comes in as our leader, he is overqualified to lead Nigeria to a vibrant economy.
We Nigerians refuse to be lead by political and media activist who constantly complain about the past government, and promising to wipe out the cabals, the reality is that we need structures that frustrate corrupt practices in-built into every area of government, not just replacing people. Creating systems that makes it not conducive for people to think about trying it even if they tried to remain that way we would see who is working and who is pretending by monitoring and appraising their performance with accountability.
I used to support Sowore however, the difference between him and Moghalu and how you know who's really going to make an impact is that you learn something new about ways to move the country forward each time you listen to Moghalu talk about his vision for the country.
With Sowore he just complains constantly about the present government and offers basic ideas with no real strategic thought behind it.
One is an activist the other a technocrat, #ItIsTime Nigeria was lead by a sound, geopolitically well exposed person, not a noise maker or an agbero or former army general for that matter, we've had enough of that barbarism under the shadow of integrity, no different from Buhari's change mantra. #OurMumuDonDo #VoteYPP #IStandWithKingsleyMoghalu
If Sowore puts Nigeria above his ego to become president, then he would support a more competent candidate on the same mission rather than trying to split the votes, it's not a popularity contest, it's rather one of competence and strategic expertise.
