"Naira Marley is truly the Fela of our time. Man not only went to prison and came back but now the Nigerian police is begging him not to lead a protest + having an IG Live with him by 11am.
Naira Marley aka The people’s president! Marlians!".

Stop leading protest individually, 2face, Naira Marley, runtown, they’ll always silence you".

”They called Naira Marley a bad influence, locked him up and called him a menace to the society yet he’s the one they went to do an Instagram Live with to stop a protest?? 2020 is such an interesting year.
”Y’all really expect Naira Marley to lead a protest? Someone that sang Japa lol".
