Naira Marley is indeed the Fela of our time – Nigerian journalist
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.
According to Okon, he likened Naira to Fela because he was ready to take the forefront in the campaign against police brutality before the Nigerian police force pleaded with him to cancel the protest.
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.
Naira took to Twitter to back out of the protest, as he said there will be an Instagram live session with PRO- DCP Frank Mba on his page.
Impressed that the singers call for protest could bring about a positive response from the Nigerian police force, the Twitter user couldn’t help but liken the Marlian president to Fela.
He tweeted,
“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!”
