Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, is a well-known rapper and activist who has stated that he may not raise his children in Nigeria.
The crooner of “This Is Nigeria” gave the country’s security and economic difficulties as well as threats resulting from his activism.
Falz who was a featured guest in a recent episode of the Dear Ife Series Podcast hosted by Ifedayo Agoro, said “Ah! That’s a deep question. I didn’t expect to hear this question. I haven’t really thought that far, let me not lie.
This reply came when the host asked, “Would you raise your children in Nigeria if you were going to have any?”
Falz continued, “But it’s something that I can’t actually say ‘yes’ to because of what we are talking about [the insecurity in the country, threats due to my activism, and Nigerians’ docility].
“It’s something I cannot outrightly say ‘yes’ to. And it’s so sad. But I can’t also outrightly say ‘no’ because I’m pro-Nigerian and I really believe that we can actually get it right. But I don’t know, I don’t know, but let’s see [laughs].”
The Nigerian rapper is currently single and yet to have a child.
