Popular Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, known as Falz, has voiced concerns about raising his future children in Nigeria. Speaking on the Dear Ife Series podcast, hosted by Ifedayo Agoro, Falz cited issues such as insecurity, economic instability, and threats linked to his activism as reasons for his hesitation.
When asked directly if he would consider raising his kids in Nigeria, Falz admitted he hadn’t given it deep thought but couldn’t confidently say yes. He referenced ongoing security challenges and Nigerians’ passive attitude toward governance, which have influenced his perspective on the country’s future.
Falz has been a vocal critic of government policies and human rights violations, using his platform and music—such as his viral track “This Is Nigeria”—to highlight societal issues. His latest comments echo the concerns of many Nigerians contemplating emigration and better living conditions for future generations.
