In a swift turn of events barely 7 days after the threat of a legal
action, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) have now backed down on their
ultimatum.
he Muslim Rights Concern, (MURIC) have dropped its
move to proceed with a lawsuit against rapper, Falz for his video, 'This
is Nigeria'.
On June 5, MURIC issued a seven-day ultimatum to Falz, ordering him to take down his music video titled “This is Nigeria” and tender an apology or face legal action.
In a fresh statement signed by the its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola,
and made available on Monday, June 11, the group has now backed down on
the threat and would instead report Falz to the appropriate agencies.
The statement by MURIC reads thus in part; “In
view of the intervention of well-meaning Nigerians, counselling from
several quarters and commitments given by us to those who interfaced
with us on this matter, an emergency meeting of MURIC’s Think-Tank was
convened on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to review the situation and resolved
to drag the artist to government agencies saddled with the
responsibility of censoring films and videos.
It is not a U-turn but a sudden change in tactics’.
The
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) last week resolved to sue Folarin Falana
(Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian artist, who produced the video song
titled ‘This is Nigeria’ in which a Fulani man was seen beheading
somebody.
The video also featured
hijab-wearing female choreographers dancing the ‘shaku-shaku’ (a dance
associated with drug). A seven-day ultimatum was given for the
withdrawal of the video and an apology failing which a legal tussle
would be launched.
Our office has since
been inundated with solidarity visits, while our telephone lines have
been flooded with a deluge of calls from members, friends, well-wishers,
journalists and other concerned Nigerians, majority of whom are of the
Islamic faith.''
Falz stated he had no plans to take his 'This is Nigeria' video
Following the release of the ultimatum by MURIC, Pulse swiftly reached out to a representative of the rapper, Femisoro Ajayi, who confirmed that he was aware of the statement by the Muslim group, but they have no plans to take down the video.
'Yes,
I have seen the statement online, but we have no official response yet,
the video is out there and we have no plans to take it down, we will
only respond when we get an official letter directly sent to us'', he says.
The video continues to trend on YouTube with over 5 million views in two weeks.

Before I go on with the list I would like to explain what this
blogging of a thing means, you will agree with me that we hear the word
often but do we even know what it means?
A blog
is also known as weblog, it is the discussion or informational website
published on the World Wide Web with often discrete diary style texts
called posts.
It could also be called an online diary or journal which enables you
share your thoughts and ideas, you could add pictures, videos, games,
music, read comments of your readers and all these can be done with no
programming knowledge needed.
Today, blogs are now used as an appropriate media to spread news,
your own voice unedited, your personal views, and your own spin. It’s
all about how you view the world around you, your perspective and take
on it.
