Nigerian rapper Falz has clarified that he was not pressured to study law due to his father’s success in the field.

Falz revealed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo on the “With Chude” podcast that his father, Femi Falana SAN, helped and fought for people who inspired him. This experience motivated him to pursue a legal career, contrary to popular belief.

He said,

“I won’t say it was pressure but when I was super young, it was like, ‘These people have to be something’ because I was already getting that reaction everywhere I went. And if I ever mentioned my name, people would be like, ‘Which Falana? Is it Femi Falana? Oh wow.'”

“Everyone sort of had a story about how my dad came to their aid at some point in time and how he fought for them and was there for them. At that time it was me taking everything in, like, ‘this is something’. So at that point in time, I wasn’t pressured; I aspired to emulate what he was doing,” he added.

This recognition made a deep impact on him, and he decided on his own to study law. Although he pursued a legal education, he practiced law only for a short period.

His decision to enter the field came from personal motivation. Despite his brief time practicing, the experience left its mark. Indeed, it shaped his perspective and contributing to his overall journey.

“I did practice law for a short period of time. Very short, almost two years. I worked at the Ministry of Justice during my youth service, which was like 2012 or so, then in 2013 I was at my father’s firm and 2014 was when things started to pick up for me so I started going out of practice,” he added in between laughter.

Mr Macaroni criticises Nigerian politicians | fab.ng

Nigerian comedian and activist Mr. Macaroni expressed his disappointment with the state of governance of Nigerian politicians.

He criticised politicians for their greed and lack of accountability. Also, he highlighted the ongoing issue of public funds being misused.

In a post on X on December 3, 2024, he decried the negative impact of corruption on the country’s progress. He wrote,

“Nigerian Politicians have stolen and are still stealing billions and trillions from the Nation’s purse. Unfortunate enough as it is that there are Zero Consequences for these actions, it is torturous that the people whose treasury are being looted continue to defend Politicians who absolutely do not care about their existence.”

Mr. Macaroni expressed shock at the extent of corruption among Nigerian politicians. He pointed out that the stolen funds could have significantly improved the lives of Nigerian citizens.

In another post, he asked,

“How can you comfortably loot public funds enough to change the standard of living of millions of the people you ought to serve selflessly? What type of greed and wickedness is this?”

“How exactly is the Country supposed to get better when our Politicians just want to steal!!! No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?”

Mr. Macaroni has consistently spoken out against Nigerian politicians and their treatment of the people.

On October 29, 2024, he reacted strongly to a viral video featuring former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike addressing citizens.

In his response, Mr. Macaroni expressed deep frustration and anger. Public officials’ mistreatment and disrespect of the people they should serve fuel his anger.

Outraged, he wrote,

“Nigerian politicians lack regard for Nigerians, and this is because they have never been accountable to the people. The other day the FCT Minister was addressing some Nigerians, and he said, “Are you stupid? Is it because I came down to talk to you? You are a civil servant!!!” What do you mean by, “Is it because I came down to talk to you? You are talking to the people that pay your salary!!!””

Timaya emphasized the importance of open communication in his relationships, as he prefers to address issues directly rather than harbouring resentment.

He explained, “If you have a problem with me, let’s talk about it because I don’t like going to bed thinking about things, I go die o. I don’t like anything to bother me at all.”

Timaya revealed that his children reside with their mothers, but he remains actively involved in their lives.

He explained,“Being a father is stressful because I love them too much but it’s enjoyable. My four kids live with their mothers so when I want to see them, I ask their mothers and they come to my house and we spend two to three months together then they go back to their mother’s. Christmas is coming and they’d spend it with me as well, but their mothers don’t come because they’re in relationships. We’re all family now so I can’t date any of them, we’re family now and we respect each other”
