Nigerian journalist and TV presenter, @iamokon has taken to the micro-blogging platform to compliment Naira Marley for being nationalistic as he describes him as the ‘Fela’ of today.

Recall that, Naira Marley earlier cancelled #EndSars protest scheduled to hold today Tuesday, October 6th.

This came after a statement was made by the Inspector General of Police, as he informed Nigerian youths that their voices and complaints on the issues of unprofessional conducts by some SARS operatives would be heard very loudly and clearly.
