Popular Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, better known as Falz, has revealed that he may not raise his children in Nigeria.

Speaking on the Dear Ife Series Podcast hosted by Ifedayo Agoro, Falz cited growing security concerns, economic challenges, and the risks associated with his activism as reasons for his uncertainty.

When asked if he would consider raising his kids in Nigeria, Falz responded:

“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].”
