The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) a week ago set out to sue Folarin Falana (Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian craftsman, who created the video melody titled 'This is Nigeria' in which a Fulani man was seen decapitating some individual. The video additionally highlighted hijab-wearing female choreographers moving the 'shaku-shaku' (a move related with tranquilize). A seven-day final offer was given for the withdrawal of the video and a statement of regret coming up short which a legitimate tussle would be propelled.

Our office has since been immersed with solidarity visits, while our phone lines have been overflowed with a downpour of calls from individuals, companions, well-wishers, writers and other concerned Nigerians, lion's share of whom are of the Islamic confidence.

In perspective of the mediation of these good natured Nigerians, directing from a few quarters and duties given by us to the individuals who interfaced with us on this issue, a crisis meeting of MURIC's Think-Tank was assembled on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to survey the circumstance.

In concession to supplications made by good natured Nigerians, so as to keep confidence with our affirmed proverb (Dialog, Not Violence) and to additionally affirm that MURIC is a tuning in, develop and mindful association focused on advancing peace in Nigeria, the Think-Tank set out to drag the craftsman to government offices saddled with the duty of blue penciling movies and recordings. It's anything but a U-turn yet a sudden change in strategies.

This will have an all the more persisting effect on Falz as well as the whole media outlet. It will likewise influence the offices to sit up to their obligations and infuse a colossal measurement of teach in the music and film ventures when all is said in done.

MURIC communicates profound gratefulness to its individuals across the nation, especially Muslim legal counselors who volunteered to take up the case complimentary, pioneers of Islamic associations the nation over who offered their solidarity and also senior government employees who imparted their rich encounters to us.

In spite of the fact that he held back before apologizing, the craftsman has attempted to clear himself in distributed meetings made accessible to us. As indicated by him, he didn't expect to mock Muslims. He said his expectation was to point out the situation of the Chibok young ladies in spite of the fact that we think he has done that the wrong way.

A scene in the video in which the 'Chibok young ladies' are in contemplative mind-set would have been more illustrative of the truth on ground in light of the fact that seized young ladies can't be moving like individuals affected by tranquilize. They are in imprisonment thus they have no reason under the sun for jubilating.

Once more, the Fulanis (Muslims) were painted as executioners while Benue local armies (Christians) who stir Fulani cattles and butcher their spouses and kids were not included. This is terribly out of line. Falz should discover a method for adjusting his video. The hijackers of the South East (likewise Christians) were saved while the oil saboteurs of the Niger Delta (Christians as well) were disregarded. Falz video is stacked with Islamophobia. That video ought to be titled 'This isn't Nigeria'. It is Islam-bashing. Nigeria's video administrative office ought to consequently boycott the video or request that the craftsman alter it appropriately.

With this most recent advancement and even before the seven-day final offer lapses, MURIC is never again mulling over court activity against Falz, nor are we requesting any statement of regret from him or his administration. The conceivable monetary pick up in case of a court approval of our cases does not intrigue us. We are never again taking a gander at Falz however at a bigger picture.

The courts may be occupied with legalities, judiciability and details yet the video board will look past all that. Is it proficient? Is it adjusted? Is it genuinely illustrative of our nation? Is it ethically reasonable? These are what will intrigue the board and they are pair with our reasoning. We acknowledge specialists and our point isn't to rebuff Falz. He is certifiably not a sluggish Nigerian youth.

The issue will now go to those administration offices who should carry out their occupations in any case. Rather than making media pressure and giving shabby prevalence, this issue will now be taken care of by experts who recognize what to do.

Our accentuation will be for the most part on the depiction of Fulanis as executioners in the video with the attendant revolting discernment it is probably going to make among Nigerians and in addition its temporary fad impact on the picture of Muslims when all is said in done. This is one zone Falz has not possessed the capacity to clarify away, yet he declined to apologize. That part of the video would have been altered had the oversight offices done what was anticipated from them or if Falz had taken after due process.

In light of a legitimate concern for peace, lawfulness, we are approaching the National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to take up the issue from this minute. In spite of the fact that MURIC will even now complete a followup with an official appeal, we anticipate that the board will have started its free examinations on the issue especially with the furore created by the issue.

More or less, we demand that Falz video "This is Nigeria" is hostile and provocative. It depicts Fulanis (and Nigerian Muslims) as executioners. It is equipped for lighting emergency and encouraging a general breakdown of lawfulness. The video board should in this manner do the needful.
