Falz Advises Young People To Wait Until Their 30s Before Marrying
Nigerian rapper and actor Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has advised young people against rushing into marriage before the age of 30, saying many people in their 20s are still developing emotionally, mentally and financially.
Speaking on a recent episode of The BTS Reality podcast, the award-winning entertainer urged youths not to bow to societal pressure to marry early.
According to him, the years before 30 should be devoted to self-discovery, career growth and gaining life experiences that prepare individuals for the responsibilities of marriage.
"Getting married in your 30s is the best. Don't let anyone pressure you into getting married before 30. By your 30s, you have gained more life experiences. In your 20s, you are still figuring yourself out. Your 20s are for learning, growing and enjoying life," Falz said.
He added that people are generally better positioned to make important life decisions after reaching their 30s.
"In your 30s, you combine all the knowledge and try to direct your life. So, it is better to wait till your 30s before getting married," he stated.
Falz, who has largely kept his private life away from the spotlight, has consistently spoken on issues affecting young people, including personal development, social justice and national affairs.
His comments have since sparked conversations on social media, with many supporting his emphasis on maturity and personal readiness, while others maintained that the ideal age for marriage depends on individual circumstances rather than age alone.
