Popular Nigerian rapper, actor, and social activist Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, has shared his concerns about raising children in Nigeria, admitting that he’s unsure whether he would want his future kids to grow up in the country.

The outspoken entertainer, known for using his platform to address social and political issues, made this revelation during a recent appearance on the Dear Ife Series podcast hosted by Ifedayo Agoro.

In the candid interview, Falz was asked a thought-provoking question by the host:

“Would you raise your children in Nigeria if you were going to have any?”

The This Is Nigeria crooner paused before offering a reflective response.

“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.

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].”

Falz, the son of respected human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), has consistently been one of the most vocal celebrity voices on socio-political matters in Nigeria. From his critical song This Is Nigeria to his active role during the #EndSARS protests, the rapper has never shied away from speaking truth to power — a stand that has earned him admiration, and also, as he hinted, some risks.

Referencing those risks and the country’s deep-seated issues with insecurity and economic instability, Falz acknowledged that his fears as a future parent are rooted in both personal and national concerns.

Currently unmarried and without children, the award-winning artiste’s statement sheds light on the growing unease among Nigerian youth about raising families in a country grappling with rising violence, poor governance, and limited opportunities.

While Falz remains hopeful that Nigeria can be reformed, his honest uncertainty echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians both at home and abroad torn between their love for the country and the desire for a safer, more stable future for the next generation.
