Alariwo speaks on his new song 'Common Sense' which he featured Senator Ben Bruce

Alariwo of Africa has opened up about his new song ''Common Sense'' in which he featured Senator Ben Murray-Bruce.

Here's what he had to share on Friday morning with Silverbird Television team.

When asked, why common sense?

''The answer is simple. A Fela Suffered. I’m a noise maker and I speak positively about happenings in the society and I have been seeing our distinguished senator talking about common sense. I just think about it and call my producer, let’s do something about common sense. Ben Bruce is an entertainment guru. I featured him by force. What I did was to go to the internet and download his words because it’s free. And I know Ben Bruce is too educated to sue somebody like me.''

And on the Ben Bruce's favourite texts he picked.

''I picked the right ones there and put it into song I call it spoken words kind of music and when I was done, he was the first person I sang it too and sent it to STV and Rhythm and it became a national anthem. Well, he’s got a lot of favourites, one N18, 000 minimum wage. That was just the basic reason why I took that part. That N18, 000. How can one live on N18, 000, a lot of things are complicated. The common sense, it’s got four, five version of it. This is just the beginning, I have another one that I feature him as well with Fela Anikulapo Kuti. I’m doing a full album common sense.''
