Some pple ll come thank God on his behalf now


Oh God!!...Ya being ridiculed

Ok

Only those who have sense can understand that this is our new school fela

Someone that wrote EFCC special invitation with his song should be ready to eat the hot yam on fire......Hyccon!

He is learning his lesson the hard way...and if he continues in his yahoo lifestyle, more lessons coming his way!
He looks so humble now!

9ice his mentor in glorifying yahoo guys in his songs, kept quiet throughout Naira's ordeal!
It was 9ice's name and music (Living things) he was mentioning in custody, that was what gave him the inspiration.
(After 9ice sang praises to high heavens of over 20 Yahoo guys mentioning their names!)

See youths on Nairaland supporting and glorifying crime!
Shameless animals. 
Shame on you all.

SAY NO TO FRAUD!

This guy just decided to finish his career before it even started.

No brand will ever want to associate with him if he comes out of it all, not to talk of him doing prison time for fraud.

Nigerian youths, SAY NO TO FRAUD, and STOP justifying crimes, it destroy your future!

Nuff said!

MobileGees:


You obviously know nothing, if the guy comes out free he would be swimming in millions if not billions

Every Yahoo boys already looks up to for being a martyr to their cause (fraud) trust the amount of money Yahoo boys are going to donate to him no brand endorsement can EVER give him such

See how dis one quoting us dey reason o!

We don't even know what to reply you with.
Let us just say.....'goodnight' abeg!

Na wa,at it's peak of its career

The government certainly wants to pass a very strong message with this guy.

He may eventually not be convicted, but the message would have been made clear.

No worry.. Na God save u from this one cos I know he will not be imprisoned.. he'll make bail

Frankly they're making this guy trend the more. Can't they just trial him silently without the whole media fuss.

Some people don't even Know this guy on a personal level, they just keep commenting "I pray he goes to jail". I just learnt hate can come from people you haven't seen before. It's a M.A.A.D world

This guy should just change his name to Yahoo Marley.

The government should lead by example and stop allowing corrupt politicians work and get appointments

It's called leading by example.. gaduje was caught in bribe yet the government came out to stand by him and you don't want the youth to follow example and stand behind naira Marley?

Minna was found culprit in stealing billions in pension funds yet buhari have him a new post after he resurfaced from.being on the run!!

Tinubu is indicated in so many corrupt charges ,. Even has a drug related indictment from the 90s in America yet he is APC national chairman! He lived bullion vans of money during a national election yet if any of you withdraws over N10 million efcc will kick down your doors

Amaechi has so many cases against him, yet he is a serving minister

Abeg free these boys and when the government starts doing right all will follow

There is evidence that keystone bank and 9mobile where bought in the names of Aisha buhari and his son yet efcc didn't do nothing
This government politicians are the biggest Yahoo boys !!
Are the youth fôòls ni? no!!

No bad followers only bad leaders

If only EFCC can show their power on our thieving politicians and leaders the way they're showing it on Naira Marley body, Nigeria would be a better place

Choi e don be for this guy.. Him go last last go jail.
