According to him, he did not struggle with his son’s choice, although his wife found it a hard pill to swallow.

He said: “My son Folarin, who was working in our chambers, came to inform me one day that he wanted to leave. I said I could find him a place in one of my friends’ chambers. But he said no, ‘I’m going to be a musician’.

“When I asked why, he convinced me but he couldn’t convince his mother because she’s also a lawyer. Today, he’s doing well as a musician and not as a lawyer. So let’s debate with our children to know what they want to do.”

Siting the example of legendary Afro-beat creator, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, whose chose to study music against his parents’ choice of medicine, Falana admonished parents to desist from forcing “any course on your children; don’t insist that they must be a doctor or a lawyer.”
