Following Singer Azeez Adesina Fashola, best known as Naira Marley’s visit to the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brigadier General Buba Marwa, and his call to Nigerian youths to shun drug abuse on Thursday, netizens have since taken to social media to share their thoughts.

In a video obtained by our correspondent, the “Soapy” singer, famous for the promotion of multiple social vices in his songs, spoke on the dangers of drug abuse, urging youths to steer clear of this path.

“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’s efforts to stop drugs on the streets. It’s not good; it makes you go back to doing crime,” Naira Marley said.

Reacting to the singer’s statement, Olorogun Ernest said, “Nigeria is indeed a very confusing and complicated Nation. How can Naira Marley, who consistently promotes the use of drugs and other immoral substances, be visiting NDLEA to pledge support for the fight against the use of drugs? Perhaps NDLEA can just go ahead and make him an ambassador. Strange and crazy Nation!

Another user, Ekene00621679, said, “This is someone who has repeatedly smoked on camera…. Where are we going as a country?

NvestorHaywhy said, “This is forbidden and shouldn’t be allowed. Naira is known as a gangster who promotes the use of harmful drugs. Making him an ambassador clearly shows they are on the move to legalise drugs and immoral acts in society. I hope the government will see to this and put things in order.

Jebskine said, “What kind of message are you people at NDLEA passing out to the youths? This is so low. I never expected this from our former Governor Military Administrator in Lagos, Col. Buba Marwa. Seriously, the Hunter and the Hunted are dining together!” (The PUNCH)
