Nigerian Youth reacted to the call by Nigerian artiste, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, popularly “Igbo labi,” (loosely translated as “marijuana born”) to shun drug abuse.
During his visit to the Chairman, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brigadier General Buba Marwa, on Thursday, Naira Marley cautioned Nigerians against drug abuse.
A video obtained from the internet showed the Musician stating that drug abuse is dangerous to human health.
Naira Marley among Nigerian youth is known to promote drug use among other social vices in his songs and music videos.
According to him, “It’s your boy Naira Marley, I’ll like to urge my fans – Marlians and all Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs because it’s not good for your well-being. Stop substance abuse of any form; I’ve keyed into this campaign to support the NDLEA to stop drugs on the streets. It’s not good, it makes you go back to doing crime.”
Reacting to the development, the spokesperson for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, said, “See who’s on board @ndlea_nigeria War Against Drug Abuse advocacy campaign; it’s your favourite, Naira Marley.”
Nigerians on Twitter have, however, expressed their dissatisfaction on the development
