Why I might not raise my kids in Nigeria – Falz

Popular rapper and activist, Folarin Falana professionally known as Falz, has revealed that he might not raise his kids in Nigeria.

The ‘This Is Nigeria’ crooner cited threats due to his activism, and the country’s security and economic challenges as 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].”

The rapper is currently single and yet to have a child.
