Falz Warns Against Early Marriage, Urges Youth to Wait Till 30
Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz, has spoken out about the timing of marriage, encouraging young people to avoid rushing into the institution before they turn 30.
According to Falz, individuals in their 20s are still in the process of understanding themselves, building emotional resilience, and establishing financial stability. He believes this period should be dedicated to learning, gaining life experiences, and setting personal goals rather than making major commitments based on external expectations.
Why Waiting Until 30 Is Beneficial
The artist explained that by the time one reaches their 30s, they typically have a clearer sense of identity and future aspirations. This self‑awareness makes it easier to handle the responsibilities that come with marriage.
Falz cautioned against allowing pressure from friends, family, or society to dictate the timing of such a life‑changing decision. He stressed that everyone should take the necessary time to prepare adequately for marriage.
“Getting married in your 30s is the best. Don’t let anyone pressure you into getting married before 30. By 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.”

He concluded by saying that combining the knowledge and experiences gathered over the years enables individuals to direct their lives more effectively, making the 30s the ideal decade to enter into marriage.
