“Why so good” – Funke Akindele recats to Falz “Child of the world” video

In his latest music video, popular Nigerian rapper Falz tackles rape, HIV/AIDS and suicide.

Following his viral hit “This is Nigeria,” in which he addressed a number of social and political issues facing Nigeria, Falz is back with another socially-charged song and video.

In “Child of the World,” Falz addresses the pervasiveness of sexual abuse against women and the harmful effects it can have on a victim’s life.

In the music video, which stars Nigerian actors Toyin Abraham and BamBam—who play mother and daughter respectively—Falz tells the story of a young woman who was on a promising career path, which gets rocked when she is suddenly raped by an authoritative male figure. She eventually contracts HIV/AIDS, and she considers suicide as a result. Thankfully, the young woman is able to put herself back on the road to recovery, and she goes on to help educate others about HIV/AIDS and suicide prevention.

Fans have also dropped their plaudits for the video, which was released on Saturday.

Funke Akindele was also one of numerous Nigerians moved by the masterpiece as she took to social media to applaud his efforts.
