Singer Dauda Rarara's Facebook account was deactivated after Northerners reported his song praising President Tinubu for solving poverty and insecurity. The controversial song faced backlash, with critics accusing Rarara of insincerity. The song's release follows his mother's recent abduction and coincides with planned protests over economic hardship.
In a controversial turn of events, popular praise singer Dauda Rarara lost his Facebook account after Northerners reported it over a new song he released. The song, which lauds President Tinubu for allegedly solving issues of poverty and insecurity, sparked a significant backlash. In the song, Rarara claimed, “Northerners have said goodbye to hunger, insecurity, and poverty,” attributing these improvements to Tinubu's leadership.
This praise, however, did not sit well with many Northerners, who accused Rarara of being insincere and motivated by financial gain. Critics argued that his claims were far from reality, especially considering the ongoing economic hardships and security challenges.
The controversy surrounding the song intensified because it was released shortly after Rarara's mother was freed by bandits in Katsina state. This timing led some to speculate about the sincerity of his praises. Additionally, the song emerged at a time when Nigerian youths are planning protests over the worsening economic situation in the country.
Social media reactions were mixed, with some supporting Rarara's right to express his views, while others condemned the song as misleading and insensitive. One user commented, "The North is awakening," while another suggested Rarara was using sarcasm to criticize the government indirectly.
Overall, the incident has sparked widespread debate about the role of artists in political discourse and the boundaries of freedom of expression.
