5 Lessons Every Youth Should Learn From The Naira Marley’s Case

May 21st

Okay!! so Naira Marley has been in the news lately over his unabashed and unashamed support for Internet fraud.

The whole thing started when he said on Instagram, “If you know about the history of slavery, you go know say, Yahoo no be crime“.

That statement alone generated spines of controversies with several celebrities weighing in their opinions on the issue of Internet fraud.

Weeks after, Naira Marley is cooling off in the confines of Ikoyi Prison.

It started from being invited for questioning to spending several days at the EFCC detention facility together with Zlatan and three others and now he has been charged to court alone.

As humans, we make mistakes, it now behooves on us to learn from our mistakes to achieve greater things.

You might want to ask, what does this whole Naira Marley and EFCC drama teach us?

What can we learn as fans from the mistakes of Naira Marley and make sure we ourselves don’t make this same mistake.?

Read 5 Things Everyone Should Learn From Naira Marley’s Case:-

1. Always Mind Your Business

For God’s sake if Naira Marley had focused on his career, this whole issue would have been averted.

Let me chip in this, majority of the consequences we are facing now are results of the actions or choices we’ve made in the past.

If Naira Marley had made that Yahoo statement and stopped at that, God knowsEFCC would not have come for him.

But man went on attacking everyone who disagreed with him, did Instagram live to say all sorts as regards such sensitive issue of National importance.

To crown it all, he hit the studio to record a song. At this point the whole country was already aware of Naira Marley and possibilities of him being a yahoo-boy with musical talents.

Infact, most of his actions made it look like the country had no laws.

But come to think of it, would Naira Marley be remanded in jail if he had minded his business and not say a word about Simi‘s comment on Yahoo-boys? Hell, NO!!

2. Never Do Anything For The Gram Or For Fame

At the beginning of the whole outburst byNaira Marley, it looked like he was enjoying the fame and the attention he was getting from every of his comments on yahoo-yahoo.

What does profit Naira Marley that profit all the fame and loose his own freedom.

He’s been to prison now, got his name tainted, embellished in the mud, got negative attention to his career. Yeah, he might pull through with this eventually and be free.

What if he had decided to “waka jeje inside life” and kept quiet the moment he felt he is about to be treated like Fela, Mandela andPresident Kennedy who were even fighting for the right cause.

EFCC just had to utilize the whole scenario to prove a point so people won’t say they are afraid of entertainers.

Naira got the fame, got the clout, fed from the popularity of Internet fraud to his advantage. At the end of the day, it got him into trouble.

3. Don’t Listen To The Crowd

At some point in the whole issue, some people especially the so-called yahoo boys be like, “Naira Jekanmo“, “Tell Them” urging him to keep the fire burning.

But how many of the so-called Marlians giving him ginger to keep talking about illegal Internet-fraud matter are with him at Ikoyi Prisons now?

In this life we just have to be careful about the kind of advices we take. Some are harmful, few are beneficial.

4. There Are Consequences For All Our Actions

Naira Marley‘s ordeal teaches us that whatever we are going through now is as a result of the choices and actions we’ve done in the past.

If Naira Marley had focused on next big music project after having successful Marlian Concert, God knows prison won’t be his location right now.

Whatever actions you take now, know that there are going to be consequences for it later. So, always do what is right.

5. Lastly, Don’t Talk While Eating

If truly Naira Marley does all he is accused of, he could have been silent about it knowing fully well that the law of the country frowns at it.

Yahoo-Yahoo is illegal but to some extent our society accept it due to the need to survive in the face of hard economy.

The truth is, yahoo-yahoo is best practiced under “G“. Make your money lowkey and enjoy, don’t come out and still be glorifying it.

In Naira Marley‘s case, he decided to be the PRO of the YBA, Yahoo Boys Associationwhich has landed him an apartment in Ikoyi Prisons.

A word they say is enough for the wise!

Everyone wants Naira Marley out of jail.

We want him to continue his flourishing music career but his mistakes has cost him his freedom, only time will tell if it will cost him his career.

This is an opportunity for everyone to learn from the mistake he has made and become better people!

Speakership: Yakubu Dogara Backs Down From Race Komolafe Daniel / 32 minutes ago  Indications have emerged to the effect that incumbent Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara may not by seeking re-election to the position he currently occupies. This may not be unconnected with emerging realities surrounding the political fortune of his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections. This was as the House, which returned to legislative business, had to adjourn sitting to Wednesday in honour of deceased colleagues, Hon. Temitope Olatoye Shuga, from Oyo and Hon. Bethel Amadi from Imo states respectively. Speaking to INDEPENDENT, a source close to the Speaker who pleaded anonymity, said the Bauchi-born lawyer-turned legislator has said that he won’t be seeking election into the office of the Speaker in the 9th Assembly. Recall that Dogara defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in September 2018 to contest the seat of Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency of Bauchi state, having fallen out with his State Governor, Mohammed Abubakar over irreconcilable political differences. Political observers believe that Dogara’s decision to seek re-election into the House was borne out of his desire to retain the Speakership and the conviction that the opposition PDP may upstage the APC by winning the presidency and majority seats in the National Assembly. “The Speaker is not running but is likely to support someone he can rely on. He won’t attempt it because he knows he’s in the opposition which has minority in the House, as well as the PDP’s inability to win the presidency. “He’s encouraging members from the North-East region to show interest in the hope that the APC may zone it to them,” the returning lawmaker said. Asked if Dogara would go for any principal position meant for the opposition, the source said “I don’t think he has any such interest. “I think he will prefer to divorce himself of any leadership tension and controversy in the House.” Recall that INDEPENDENT, in a report, examined factors militating against any move by the incumbent Speaker to retain his seat which include his party’s minority status in the incoming Assembly, as well as possible lack of goodwill among some members from PDP dominated zones. Meanwhile, the House upon reconvening on Tuesday, adjourned sitting in honour of two deceased colleagues: Hon. Bethel Amadi, a former member in the 7th Assembly from Imo, and Hon. Temitope Olatoye Shuga from Oyo. While the late Amadi who was President of Pan African Parliament in the 7th Assembly was said to have died after a protracted illness, Hon. Shuga, a serving member of the 8th assembly was reportedly shot in the eye by suspected political thugs who allegedly invaded a polling unit in his area on Saturday March 9, 2019. He was said to have been rushed to the University Teaching Hospital, Ibadan where he gave up the ghost The House will reconvene on Wednesday, March 13, 2019.
