Rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has expressed frustration with the country’s lack of progress.
Speaking in a recent interview with HipTV, Falz lamented that the country is still lacking basic amenities in 2025.
The activist described the situation as ridiculous and condemned the country’s lack of stable power supply.
According to him, “The biggest thing practically speaking is the yield of electricity. It’s still wild. In 2025, we’re still dealing with up-nepa.”
He also pointed out the country’s poor drainage system.
“Any small rainfall like this, we have to be swimming around. It’s shameful,” he added.
Falz described the entertainment industry as “mad,” noting that many people are untreated and struggling with mental health issues.
He emphasized that while everyone has some degree of madness, it varies in severity.
In addition to sharing social commentary, the rapper opened up about a personal experience.
He recounted an embarrassing heartbreak when he made a reservation at a fancy restaurant, complete with flowers, only for the girl to reject him after dinner.
Falz said: “I really so much like the girl… I thought we were on the same page, but apparently not.”
He also spoke about the pressure of carrying a famous name and how people associated his early success with his father, renowned lawyer Femi Falana.
He added: “Eventually, I blew. I made a name for myself. When they see him now, they will say, ‘Falz’s dad.’”
