Popular rapper and activist Folarin Falana, also known as Falz, says that he may not raise his children in Nigeria.
The ‘This Is Nigeria’ crooner says threats due to his activism and the country’s security and economic challenges as the reasons.
Falz featured as a guest in a recent episode of the Dear Ife Series Podcast hosted by Ifedayo Agoro.
The host asked: “Would you raise your children in Nigeria if you were going to have any?”
Falz replied:
“Ah! That’s a deep question. I didn’t expect to here this question. I haven’t really thought that far, let me not lie.

“But it’s something that I can’t actually said ‘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].”

“Not knowing how to navigate that coupled with feeling like I don’t want to scatter things as resulted in me staying away.
“Some people would say I’m running away from commitment but it’s one thing to know you’re not prepared for commitment and it’s another thing to deceive yourself and mess things up for yourself and the other person. It’s me just being conscious.
I’ve never been heartbroken. If you don’t put your leg inside water, can you drown? I’ve been giving small heartbreak though.“In a romantic way, I’ve never told somebody ‘I love you’. I’m not devoid of emotions, I have felt and told someone I really like them, but not that I’m in love. Maybe it borders on being conscious and not wanting to go all in.”
