The truth is that Naira Marley has more influence than the Gov't... Go out to the streets youths all over are portraying his character, from his dance steps to his hairstyle... I personally fink it's because of the bad situation in the country... Therefore youth use it to pass away their depression... If govt can use good musician to promote youths it will be fine.. But despite Naira Marley bad influence he is better than some politicians coz he puts smile on pple faces...

the truth is ..... non of these people hyping and claiming they love him would ever pray to raise a son that lives a rough life like naira Marley

It is quite disheartening to know that our norms and values have really gone down the drain. With the way things are going now, I wonder how the next generation will look like.

In my generation, nobody wants to hear the truth, or you'd be termed as a Hater or Badbele, or enemy of progress!!

Marley is not the one that carry gun to kill hapless and men and women at night.

Marley is not the one that is dragging peoples ancestral land to give to his brothers.

Marley is not interested in including sharia in our constitution.

Marley is not BH or Armed Fulani Herdsmen.

Marley is not the president who disobeys court order and make nepotism his lifestyle.

Marley is not sarz that frame up innocent Nigerians in order to extort money from them.

Therefore Op leave Marley alone and let's get down to the real problem facing our country.

Like it or not his vulgar lyrics has degenerating effect on his listeners. Would you like your kids singing his song? Or maybe they should dance his useless excuse of a dance? To get down to the real problem is to get down to the mindset that accepts such vulgarity not only in private, but also in the public place. BH, bad governance... are not the only issues plaguing the country. When a caricature like Marley is accepted as an artist knowing full well his lyrics are uncensored and can affect young and old, then the very fabric of civilization is being torn to shreds.

I think you misunderstand the writer's intent. The writer is not blaming Nairamarley nor making him the reason for decadence. The writier is actually pointing to Nairamarley as the sign-post of the decadence. In other words, there is a Nairamarley in the average Nigerian youth already.

I believe it is somewhat lazy to adduce issues like this solely to parental upbringing. Several evidence suggests thing are more complicated than that. I read on twitter the case of a Pastor who woke up to the news that his car was among the ones towed to the Police station from Quillox. How come? His 3-kids and nephew who took the car out were supposed to be at the Choir practice (vigil) probably in preparation for Christmas Carol. The odds are the pastor gave them a very good and biblical upbringing. The rest go-figure....

I quite understand the message the writer is trying to pass, I only wrote that from a subjective POV. Most youths today are lost and truly Naira Marley mirrors their lifestyles perfectly, but like some people argued before, he is not a bad influence to all, some people just enjoy what he sings and don't subscribe to his lifestyle.
About the pastors car it's sad that happened to him but truth is most Nigerian parent needs a lecture on modern day child upbringing(if there is anything like that)

Brother you need to go and make money and be a role model to the cool headed kids.

nextstep:
Leaders who don't provide good schools, good hospitals, good roads, and instead steal all the money... are they the ones who should be complaining about the youths that they raised?

But seriously, every generation since Plato has complained about the deterioration of morals in the youths.
Imagine what Nigerian parents were saying about those 1960's highlife kids who just want to dance and drink and hang out in music joints. Then another generation complained about the kids of the disco 70's who just wanted to dance and smoke. Then they complained about those kids in 80's who just want to breakdance and wear jerry curls. Now those parents who danced and smoked in 60's 70's 80's are complaining about kids doing the very same thing in 2010's.

And I won't be surprised to read that Naira Marley himself complains about "kids these days" in 2040's.

Exactly! You nailed it.

Nothing new under the sun. Whatever is done today, has been done a number of times in the past in different format. Like always, every generation always think and say theirs is/was the best.

I see your point tho.... and on a second thought more like a case of inability to give what you don't have. Reality of life is, parents have done their bits and probably gone or soon to. Youths that wilfully choose destructive paths, later blame every other factors and people will only have themselves at the receiving end of koboko.

Check some aspects
1. Nairamarley argues that if the elders left good legacies, todays generation would have had good values and benefits. That argument sounds plausible on the surface but scratch that....it is simply an entitlement mentality. What's wrong with fixing and making things better for ourselves and those coming behind?
2. I believe that it sparks deceit to justify a bad thing with a bad model. Exuberance of this nature as demonstrated by many cannot be justified under any guise with say for example corruption or police brutality or Fela's moral decadence.
3. This generation stands the risk of difficulty in survival. A generation that may be on the path to self destruction. Nairamarlesque opium will wear out soon, Nairamarley may even go to jail for his indictment in card crimes, 5yrs and all these Marleansike cocaine addicts cannot get their "dose", then what next ?
