Popular Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye and some Nigerian skit makers and content creators, recently caused a stir online after jumping on the trending ‘Mr. Yakubu’ challenge initiated by the foremost rapper, Falz.
Falz and Vector recently came up with a new song titled ‘Mr. Yakubu’ and he subsequently launched an open verse challenge inviting and permitting Nigerians to jump on the jam.
As expected, a lot of videos from talented individuals surfaced as they did justice to the jam.
According to this New Jam, Falz and Vector discussed the 2023 elections in their most recent song, “Yakubu” which is named after the ‘Eye Neck’ chairman.
The activist teased a portion of the music video on his official Twitter profile, which piqued social media users’ excitement.
The ‘Eye Neck’ is seen as an expression to represent the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that conducted Nigeria elections headed by chairman Prof. Mahmood Yabuku.
In the new song accompanied with a video, the rappers speak for disgruntled citizens and criticised the ‘Eye Neck’ chairman and other political parties that are supposedly complicit in election fraud.
Falz had previously criticized the electoral commission for spending N300 billion on an election that numerous international and local observers, as well as well-intentioned Nigerians, had characterized as a fraud that was not credible, free, or fair.
He also made public a sample of what is thought to be a replica of the tampered-with result sheets in Nigeria.
Falz, the son of Femi Falana SAN criticized INEC Chairman and political parties for suspected electoral fraud.
His lyrics said; “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.” Vector also buttressed a few critical points in the song as well.
