Famous Nigerian musician, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has revealed to everyone that cares to listen how he lost a huge amount of money due to the nationwide strike by the Nigerian Labour.
The singer disclosed this in a video message he shared on his Instagram page.
He 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.”
For those who don’t know, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike to force the government to agree on a new minimum wage for workers and reevaluate the increase in electricity prices for certain consumers.
