IS THERE ANY LAW AGAINST IT? Falz reacts to hijab-wearing girls dancing ‘Shaku Shaku’ in “This is Nigeria” video
Nigerian rapper, Falz, has revealed that having hijab-wearing girls dance ‘Shaku Shaku’ in his controversial “This is Nigeria video” was intentional.
Falz who is also a law graduate said “Is there anything wrong with people dancing because they are wearing Hijabs? Is there any law against that?
In a recent interview with Linda Ikeji TV’s show, Verified, Falz said he was inspired by the American version and was also pushed to talk about the Nigerian plight in a creative manner.
The rapper said that he thought the song will be very interesting.
Falz also said he was shocked and depressed to hear people condemning the video which he says was to address societal problems facing Nigeria especially kidnappings and killings in the Nothern part of the country.
Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that a Muslim Rights Concern group had given a seven-day ultimatum to Falz, to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video and apologise to Nigerians, or face legal action.

Falz said,
“It was very intentional. We continue to forget or neglect the innocence of the girl child and because of all the issues that we are having.
“The kidnappings and the killings especially in the Northern part of the country, the Chibok girls and very more recently the Dapchi girls.
“It is very disturbing and we don’t often talk about them and I was a bit surprised to hear people say why would you put girls in Hijab to dance Shaku Shaku…common, is there anything wrong with people dancing because they are wearing Hijabs? Is there any law against that?”
