‘I lost money due to labour strike, but I’m with them’ – Falz

Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, also known as Falz, has expressed that in spite of the continuous strike by the trade guilds influencing his business, he is on the side of their objective.

Review that the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), set out on an endless strike on Monday to drive the public authority to settle on another mininmum wage for workers and re-examine the expansion in power costs for specific customers.

Falz said the strike made him abandoned in Uyo as his return trip to Lagos was dropped because of the closure of air terminals.

He explained that he likewise lost money he spent sorting out a video shoot since he was unable to come to Lagos for the shoot.

The rapper, in any case, said he comprehends the purposes behind the strike, adding that he is on the side of the labor unions’ requests.

Talking in a video message shared through his Instagram account, Falz said, “I woke up this morning, set out for the airport only to hear that the airport is closed, all the flights are cancelled because of the strike action. I can’t make it to Lagos, now stuck in Uyo.”

“It affected me because there is a video shoot I’m supposed to do in Lagos today, I ended up losing money because we have already booked stuff, so we are going to have to pay another amount. Despite the fact that it really affected me, I understand the reason for the strike and I’m with them. I am with the labour. In fact, this strike is supposed to happen earlier than now.”
