Popular Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz, has expressed reservations about raising his future children in Nigeria, citing insecurity, economic instability, and threats linked to his activism.
Falz made the remarks during a recent appearance on the Dear Ife Series podcast hosted by Ifedayo Agoro. When asked whether he would consider raising children in Nigeria, the artist responded with hesitation.
“That’s a deep question. I haven’t really thought that far, let me not lie,” he said. “But it’s something 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.”
Falz, known for using his music and platform to spotlight social and political issues, including the viral track This Is Nigeria, has been vocal in criticizing government policies and human rights violations. His comments add to growing concerns among many Nigerians about safety and the long-term future of the country’s younger generations.
