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,” Falz added. Opinions Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.
