Falz Tells Young Nigerians to Delay Marriage Until Their 30s

Falz Urges Young Nigerians to Delay Marriage Until Their 30s

Nigerian rapper and actor Falz has ignited a fresh round of online debate after declaring that people should hold off on marriage until they turn 30. The 35-year-old entertainer shared the view during an appearance on The BTS Reality Podcast, insisting that no one should be pressured into settling down early.

Falz’s Case for Spending Your 20s on Self-Discovery

During the conversation, the award-winning artiste argued that most people are simply better equipped for the demands of marriage once they reach their 30s, by which point they have typically built up stronger emotional, financial and mental foundations. “Getting married in your 30s is the best. Don’t let anyone pressure you into getting married before 30,” he said.

Falz described the 20s as a decade meant for figuring out one’s identity rather than locking in lifelong commitments. In his words, “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.”

He went further to explain that the lessons picked up during that formative decade become practical tools later on, guiding smarter choices about love and partnership. “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 added, faulting society for piling undue pressure on young adults to marry before they are ready.

Why the Marriage-Age Debate Keeps Dividing Nigerians

Falz, one of Nigeria’s most recognisable voices in music and film, is no stranger to weighing in on social conversations, and his latest remarks have predictably split opinion. Reports indicate that many social media users backed his position, agreeing that emotional and financial stability should come before wedding vows.

Others, however, pushed back, arguing that a number on a birth certificate does not decide a marriage’s fate — readiness and compatibility, they maintained, matter far more than age. Either way, his comments have added a prominent celebrity voice to the ongoing conversation about whether personal growth should come before walking down the aisle.
