Falz and Vector compose a diss track for the INEC chairman in new song ‘Yakubu’ and these are some words you probably don’t understand in the socially conscious song ‘Yakubu’
“Come and collect Oscar 300 billion te gbà lówó ìjoba
Kí le fi se ná sir ? A ti fi je Mossa” :
On November 3rd, 2022, it was announced that 300 billion will be spent by the electoral umpire to conduct the just concluded election. Falz in a subtle diss says that the money was not used for election, rather it was used to eat goodies.
“Suddenly e scatter Area boy ti jagba
As Ole dey japa Olopa dey guide am”
The singer is talking about the snatching of ballot box in the 2023 election, he further posit that even the security operatives aided and were heavily involved in election violence as they guarded the thugs who committed the heinous crime.
“You wayo the number The portal, e shut down
You drop us the lamba Somebody e hack am”
The most surprising event about the election happened on February 27th when INEC revealed that their Irev portal is facing hitches, and the commission failed to upload the election results on time. This is what Falz is refering to here by alleging the electoral umpire of tampering with the results.

“Mr Yakubu who is not like Gowon He’s not head of state
He doesn’t need a gunHe took the results verified by a lot”
It was under Yakubu Gowon as the head of state that Nigeria slipped into the infamous civil war which killed thousands of people. Comparing Mahmood Yakubu to Yakubu Gowon, Vector with this line is indirectly saying that the Inec chairman does not need a gun to kill as he has already done that by allegedly tampering with the election result.
Unreasonable tribal prejudice galore
Sèbí wón ti sanwó? E ti sáré koó
O wá so fun p’ó ti joba tán, kón ma gbádébò
As it could be seen, Falz is talking about the tribal war that occurred in Lagos prior to the governorship election. ‘Sanwo’ in the lyrics above is referring to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos while Gbadebo’ is talking about Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the governorship candidate under Labour Party whom many throw different tribal slurs and say he can’t be the governor of the state because his mum is from another tribe. Forgetting that his Dad is an indigene of the state with history dating back to over 200 years.
