People should be very careful on how they accusse Naira Marley, he could be innocent. This kinda mob mentality and sensationalised hatred for Naira Marley might end in more tragedies.



People should think rationally and not jump to fatal conclusions.

othermen:
I feel terrible that the mob mentality in Nigeria has obfuscated the true underlying issues that demand attention. In a related incident involving Burna boy where he sought a romantic interest, only to find out she was already with someone else at the venue. When she rebuffed Burna's advances, he flew into a rage and had her boyfriend shot in the club. Shockingly, there was no substantial public outcry, no legal action taken, and no one even hinted at pulling Burna's music from the airwaves. We continued to embrace Burna without reservation.

When Burna's aggressive behavior went largely unaddressed, it sent a message that such actions were tolerable within the industry. This lack of accountability set a dangerous precedent, allowing for a culture of unchecked aggression and intimidation to persist. If the industry had taken a firmer stance against violence and intimidation, it might have discouraged such behavior, potentially altering the course of events that led to Mohbad's untimely death and so here I equally argue that we hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status or influence within the music industry, but holding them accountable is not the same as having a mob mentality.

Shifting gears, Naira Marley operates a record label, and the artists under his umbrella are bound by contracts. Even the most illustrious stars have encountered conflicts with their record labels, as exemplified by Michael Jackson's scathing remarks about Tony Montana or Sony Music, the entity he was associated with, which he likened to a 'devil'.

Admittedly, Naira Marley and his associates likely had vested interests in Mohbad, whom they had invested in. Undoubtedly, they may have exerted some form of pressure on Mohbad to ensure compliance. Nigerians contend that these tactics may have contributed to Mohbad's untimely demise, and it's on the contention that Naira Marley has been sentenced already. No one is taking a step back to do possible re-assessments, or having the imperative not to subordinate an approach to the situation that uses a fair and impartial perspective. Nigerians forget that jumping to conclusions without comprehensive investigation risks perpetuating a cycle of vengeance and violence, that will potentially lead to even more tragic outcomes. They forget that when you take drugs away from someone having substance issues, their allegations then should be re-examined before using it as a basis for constituting guilt as substance abuse could impact a person's perception and memory, potentially leading to exaggeration or distortion of events. In the case of Mohbad, there is also a recording where what he alleged of Marlian music, he alleged of his wife. Of coz, he is dead and to suggest of his compromised state of mind having led him to misinterpret situations, inadvertently assigning greater significance or intent to actions that may have been far less malevolent might seem impossible to you, but did you not think so when he was alive, that changes in his weight, slurred speeches, slurred movements, allegations that he had withdrawal issues and possibly neglected his important obligations and commitment, had a sense of hopelessness in some of the videos evidencing his state of torment, had worsening mental health conditions, and possible health issues were all related to his substance usage? These were physical signs, psychological signs, behavioural signs, physical health issues, and withdrawal symptoms that are also associated with those now alleging maltreatment from Marlian Music.

Mohbad's passing doesn't preclude us from examining his state of mind especially if done with empathy and a commitment to seeking the truth and avoiding a re-occurrence. and such assessment does not diminish his experiences which is evident in the videos, but how about we admit that to understand the context of such videos is important to making judgments that could have significant consequences. Due process is a cornerstone of any just society and in ours, it appears justice is served in unfairly vilifying individuals.

If you disagree, so why is it not important to consider whether Mohbad's struggle with substance abuse played a significant role in his tragic trajectory, impairing his ability to fulfil his obligations to the Marlian record label? And that this, in turn, compelled Naira Marley's' camp to resort to increasingly forceful tactics. It's worth noting that Sam Larry, who may have one time been the source of Mohbad's drugs, likely exerted similar pressures on Mohbad, to recover the pay for the supply he made to him. This is purely speculative and not an assertion of fact, however, such speculation may be relevant in the context of understanding the video evidence depicting altercations between them. Why would you not think of possible motivations behind the conflicts captured in those videos? and yet make judgments while denying yourself any insight into the power dynamics, dependencies, and tensions that may have been at play. How ridiculous, but you believe instead that NDLEA at the behest of Naira-Marley administered a harmful substance to Mohbad and yet it is propagated without any slight scrutiny. Not a scrutiny at the timeline, which defies all logic because of coz, Mohbad's apprehension occurred during a period when he was known to maintain a cordial and seemingly unproblematic relationship with other members of the music label. Yet we go on, hinging on the notion that his drinks were tampered with as he was made to gulp a liquid substance that looks like water and we buy into it willingly suspending all rational thought and replacing it with an unfounded narrative that serves only to vilify Naira Marley caring not that it is not only implausible, but it defies all reason. Why would anyone resort to such an elaborate and risky scheme, and for what purpose would such an extraordinary lengths serve using an institution designed to combat drug-related issues, as the backdrop for such a clandestine act of poisoning Mohbad? If there were nefarious intentions, there are countless other, far more inconspicuous locations where such an act could have taken place, and easily done, because at the time, Mohbad was good with Marlian associates.

How ridiculous, it's more difficult to think it was Mohbad's lifestyle choices that led to his downfall and much easier to join the mob in thier fervor to lay the blame squarely on Naira Marley, and they do so insufficiently justifiably on his questionable history. That this is the case is a lamentable indictment of an entertainment industry and country that appears to be using Naira Marley as a convenient scapegoat.

The issue demanding attention is the complex web of factors contributing to Mohbad's tragic demise. This includes not only the intimidating tactics from both Naira Marley and Sam Larry, but also Mohbad's own struggles with substance abuse. The larger concern is how these elements intersected and ultimately led to the unfortunate outcome. It's important to recognize the broader systemic problems within the entertainment industry, such as the power dynamics between artists and record labels, and the potential for exploitation or coercion, but it's more important to address the issue of substance abuse, objectification of the female bodies which is glorified in their music.

Additionally, there's a need to address the public's response to such incidents, which has an history of overlooking or downplaying serious misconducts, until there is a fatal outcome.

The tactics of intimidation have taken a concerning turn, now directed towards Naira Marley and Sam Larry. Influential figures like Bella Shmurda, and others that stand to benefit from violence, have gone so far as to call for the lynching of Naira Marley and Sam Larry, perpetuating a culture of violence that threatens to claim even more lives. It's imperative to recognize that in our mourning for Mohbad's tragic passing, our grief may blind us to the fact that allowing such a situation to persist will not lead to a better society free from exploitation, intimidation or harassment. Instead, it is likely to breed further weaponry and violence within our communities.

Furthermore, Mohbad's peers and individuals seeking to establish their presence on social media platforms have inadvertently fostered unrealistic expectations of law enforcement. The police investigation, when conducted impartially, will likely exonerate Naira Marley while uncovering the role that substance abuse played in Mohbad's demise. This truth may be a difficult pill for many to swallow, as there is a strong desire for a scapegoat in Naira Marley. Succumbing to this desire, however, will only perpetuate a cycle of violence that will claim even more lives. It is crucial to approach this situation with a clear and rational perspective, seeking justice without resorting to further harm.

Makes a lot of sense, absolutely nicely and rationally put. You have a great mind.

IconicR:
He was buried alive going by the video I just watched

When he was in the car where the other boy was pronouncing dead , he moved his head.
Go and watch the video carefully again

I think you may be right.

NewDea4:
But when civilians want to protest that same bad governance, you gun them down in cold blood..how can it ever be well with you lot?

They are just hopeless zombies.

Bankowner:
Money! Money! Money!
When these guys die, will they carry money to heaven or hell to buy mansions?
Or is there an afterlife I am not aware of that requires people to have lots of money to live a lavish lifestyle?
Even if clothes are made of gold or diamonds, can they wear more than one per time?
They need to go for psychological/psychiatric evaluation far as I am concerned because I am wont to believe that it's just the thrill of seeing huge balances in their bank accounts that's making them take money and more money and not what they want to do with it.

The greedy do not reason like this. How can a 65 years old bloody Naigerian politician loot 2billion naira? How long would he have left to live to spend the 2 billion? They are just greedy fools.

grandstar:
It us this type of corruption that has been devastating Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

As if going to fight a needless war wasn't draining enough, the high ups now underkit them and loot funds meant for the war.

What does Russia and Ukraine war gat to do with this case of Naigerian soldiers? The topic is about Naigerian soldiers not Russian soldiers. Russian soldiers should sort their own shit out.

I read that during Buhari's regime $20 billion was looted from Naigeria. Naigeria is a fantastically corrupt country. David Cameron said it and he was right.

These zombies who calls themselves soldiers are part of the corruptions in the country, they the ones aiding and protecting corrupt politicians with guns. Now that the corruption is affecting them they have started wailing.



If they don't like it, they know what to do. They should learn from the Niger soldiers. Simple!

To keep out all the hungry Agberos, thieves and thugs, oh! I forgot beggars and riff raffs who will start sleeping, shitting and urinating on these streets.

Every body wan fork the woman, Dat's all, crooked pastor.

From all the comments on this topic, every comment on this comment agrees that Tifnubu regime is not working,.that people are suffering and has no hope in Tifnubu's regime. Are these people all Obidients? Not 1 comment supports Remi Tifnubu's talk. So who are the Tifnubu supporters? Where are they? Are they suddenlly hiding from this topic or what?

jerk:
Don't my him, I see nothing wrong with the ID. My brother lives in Oba and he has his ID card and no form of molestation from the indigene. It's just for security purposes unless you have a questionable character then u leave the town.

Don't be stupid man! ID card in one town? So when you relocate to a different town you get their own ID card? When you relocate to Abuja you get Abuja ID card? When you relocate to Enugu you get Enugu ID card. Every town you relocate to in Naigeria you get their own ID card, right? ridiculous!

So women should stay in an abusive marriages in the name of marriage? Did you know that many abusive marriages results to the woman's murder by their mad husbands?

AlexBells:
You can buy land in Enugu but on gazetted districts like Enugu city, the community already ceded the area to to the government but if you enter inside village and buy land abyhow you are on your own. It is not just Enugu thing, it is nearly all over AlaIgbo if you are buying AlaUmunna, (kindred land) you are on your own.

You see what happened in your case the sold it to one of them not knowing that he was buying it for a total stranger, between village can even give givernment land that has some shrine or entanglement, government no sabi that one but selling dwelling place to stranger is not always a priority unless it is eminent.

I don’t know why it is so, but it is so if you want to buy land in AlaIgbo, first ask if it is community land if it is not in a ceded district. You no do anything wrong just take am as you see am. Land is tied to the male child in AlaIgbo it is part of the culture, it is assumed taht anyone who gets land in a particular place is part of that community so it sort of citizenship and not going to pass on to Stranger, this is not accurate but what I think it is but irrespective of what I think, it is what it is

Well... i still don't understand it, i have bought and sold lands in Abuja, Nkpor Anambra, Ekwulobia, Awka and ummunya, i have never encountered such confusion, so what about the guy I sold to, though he is an Enugu citizen Awkunanaw, what would happen to him? I didn't know it was a community land. I was not told.


But as i ve said. What bout the guy his community shared the land to should have the right to sell if he cannot afford to develop. And why was the land in triangular shaped? Any reasons for that? Are you familiar with that Area Zion city? I hear the new recently demolished market is being built near that Zion city.

AlexBells:
Did he not own which land, land that his forefathers fought for and laboured for they give you your own share, possibly for you to build house and farm, you wan sell cause na only you love money, you no even reason sell am to members of the community, you codedly sold to a stranger does it make sense to you.

If the said man is sick or something, if the community see that without the land being sold he could suffer they can ask if one of them can afford the land if not the option of selling to outsiders is valid which then it is with approval, anything beyond that you are most likely buying from an Efulefu which can't make money to buy at such gazetted districts like market, urbanised or allocated areas.

So how was it my fault? I asked my friend to buy it for me, my friend is an indigene, you have accepted that the land was given to him, so why can't he sell if he cannot afford to develop the land? Is it because i am not an indigene? What exactly was the problem with that land?


Enugu people do not buy land in other parts of Nigeria? Must one be an Enugu indigene to be able to buy land in Enugu? What kinda discrimination is that?

AlexBells:
You for get hope na, one efulefu sold community land for you and you think it funny, with urbanisation there's apprehension but if you go buy community land you on your own, exception is when community gazetted the said land for let's say market or school they understand outsiders can come in but buying a distinct non urbanised community land which wasn't ceded to government, make sure the community head is aware and signed otherwise they would just give you the person that sold it to you to so whatever you want with him. Unless you are a member or nearby said community

Was i supposed to not have hope? I mean, people are supposed to be trustworthy. Did i not pay for the land?.

What do you mean by efulefu sold me land? Did he not own the land? Did his community not give him that share of the land?

AlexBells:
Okay, like I told you make sure you are from the community or nearby community otherwise when the matter start, you would realise one idiot just sold you his share of community land lol. If you want land in Enugu go through appropriate channel or if you want local land, allow a local to buy it out for you that's my advice.

I am not from Enugu, i have friends and extended families in Enugu though. So because i am not an indigene they would scam me? That is obviously wrong, aren't we all supposed to be Igbos?


I bought a piece few years ago, apparently it is owned by community, i had asked my friend to purchase it for me, eventually when i got to Enugu and asked him to show me the land, he couldn't, apparently the land was shown to him only on a map, they call the area Zion City. I was the person who went with my friend, with the guy with the map after paying the guy with the map 10k naira, he said i must pay for him to take me to the land's location.


I found out later that the real owner was not even the guy with the map, the real owner sold without even seen the land or even has any document for it, all he knew was that he sold his share of his community land. It was left for me to go find the land and do the documents myself. As long as it he can confirm that he sold me his share of his community allocated land. Very complicated transactions..


We found the land evenfually, it was triangular shaped I lifted it as they told me to do. In just few months i sold it back to the guy with the map, less than i bought the land. As i couldn't understand what was all the complicated processes was about. After that experience i am staying away from buying community lands. If the land is not sold by an individual owner I ain't buying.

AlexBells:
I didn't buy the land my father did, the documentation is proper, as for my core ancestral land, the day governor or anyone try shit on that one is the day he understand that he only holds the land in trust. Indigenous people have a place

Well.. precisely, so one doesn't nercerssarily need a C of O as long as their land or lands has proper documentations, as you put it.

AlexBells:
If you buy someone's ancestral land in a community you are not part of I pity you if the original owner chose to renegade and you dont have c of o or other documents, you would win if you know your onions but they can chose to pay you back after they have used your money to save a family member from kidney failure

Why would the original owner renegade? Will they deny ever owning the land? Or selling the land to me? Who buys a land or lands without signed agreements between both parties? I am looking to buy in Enugu, hence my interest.

Even if the land is virgin as long as the original ancestral owner can back me up with agreement and attest to selling the land to me, i wouldn't need a C of O.

AlexBells:
I have my own land na, buying a new one is not my priority currently, the Agbadorians put us in position Give us this day our daily bread. I have enough land for me now

Good to know, will you be paying 10k for the C of Os of all your lands then? Since it appears you are supporting it.

Sad, poor ignorant hopeless people killing themselves. For what?

TheOldGods:
seems you don't understand it. Let me explain better. To register 3 plots of land, will cost you 16.2 million naira, that is not even the cost of the land itself, how much is now the land that ordinary registration is 16 million. Go to that office, nobody is registering lands again, they are waiting for court to throw him out so Edeoga can reverse that nonsense. Instead of a governor to make people like him, he is doing otherwise. After you pay 16 million, then you will be paying 100-150k every month to the government immediately you start building

Really? That is ridiculous! Whos dumb idea is this?

Pay 150k to every month? For what?

The slave to the American dollars keep on mentioned dollar as if is a Nigerian currency, fraudulent citizen in government House

Odi egwu! ndi nzuzu!

SpecialAdviser:
Oh I see. Don't forget that some states are building houses for their indegenes.
Our own governor is selling his own at outrageous amount. Ok na. You and the governor are combined in the evil. Why then do we complain when Igbos fail to invest in their lands? Because they will prefer where to buy cheaper and build cheaper. It's really a shame how you guys sounds. Big shame

This is the big problem, even in Abuja to obtain a C of O is not this expensive, you would also find that goods and commodities are ussually very expensive in Alaigbo than other regions, infact, everything is, Igbos are their own problems.

AlexBells:
Do you have a problem with me not being able to buy 2 million naira land, did I complain to you or beg you land, why you think buying land is everybody’s problem, me like this if I see #1500 eat better food and #500 buy data, God don provide daily bread and heaven can fall for all I care

So because you cannot afford then others must buy lands for very expensive prices?.

AlexBells:
You go read the constitution, ignorance is not an excuse to the law, you buy the land from the state not from the individual, by Nigerian constitution all lands belongs to the state. So the price the individual land owner sells doesn’t have anything to do with the price state sells which is through the C of O, the state is telling you the official price of a parcel of land in Enugu and you are foaming, keep foaming when you cross your boundary you would understand.

Hold your ancestral land tight that’s all the above says cause that’s the only thing that would give you access to rightful ownership of land in the near future if you chose to remain poor.

So what if one buys another person's ancestoral land, does that mean one doesn't own the land? the state does? I think you are missing the point, with respect i must say.

SpecialAdviser:
Nobody is talking about cheap land here. Someone has bought the land and you ask him to pay such amount for C of O.

Enugu lands are already costly. Before now, each square meter is 1000 for C of O. Meaning when you but 1000square meter, you pay 1 million with adjoining charges which amount to like 1.5millon naira. This is after buying land. Different from community levy. Different from LGA levy. Different from Capital development. In fact, when you but 10millon naira land, you need extra 4 million naira to develop it before now. But now, you will need nothing less than 15million if you must go for C of O.

I'm very sure you cannot even buy 2milion naira land as you reply me. Why are you forming enermy of the people?

It is ridiculous, C of O is now more expensive than lands? Absolute rip off!

How will that bring developement to Enugu? small businesses are what makes economy boost, if small businesses cannot afford C of O how can they survive? Mba is a tiff!

SpecialAdviser:
I know I was talking with a CAPITAL FO.OL from the moment you replied me. Mugu without functional brain talking about priority. Your comments is filled with insults because you are poorly brought up and cannot engage someone in a constructive argument. It's either you are paid to defend the idiotic governor or you are an animal with hidden agenda.

A governor is raising the price of obtaining C of O at time, Igbos are lobbied to come and invest in their lands and you are here yarining okpata around promises. Enugu have no good street and other roads within the metropolis is in ruins. What has his promises got to do with raising the money for C of O. EWU

That individual is a complete morron! Imagine.

Corrrect guy! why da fork should he waste the money on his dead carcase of a father? The living is more important than the dead. The living should carry on living, the dead is dead..


Africans waste money on funerals, money they should spend on themselves. Some even get in serious debts after borrowing huge amount of money for bloody funeral. He commited no crime.

Chetas81:
Oniranu, with your old age, you're not with your sense,I'm not sure if you have right people training, you stupid Man eranko

Seriously that person is an ignorant morron! the man sounds like a 300 years old Radio.

blueAgent:
You are a clown.
There is nothing true and serious about you.
You want to know if God exists and I gave you a simple task yet clown like you cannot do it.

Why give me a task? Why not just show me proofs that God exists, rather you are yapping rubbish about Osun state, one baba and enter house. Does that make any sense or is that a proof that God exists? If you are trying to show me that God exists, do God live in Osun state in one baba house? why Osun state? Why not here in Miami or one baba house in Morroco, Australia or Enugu? can you see that you made no sense?

And when da fork did i ask you for help to show me where God lives or if God exists?


Fine, if you want to proof to me that God exist, here is your chance to do that but please don't tell me to go to Osun state and enter one baba house co's that shit makes no forking sense! Come on man! think about it.

You must think everyone is dumb like you.

Do you even know what clowns do? Or what a clown mean? You are not very intelligent clearly. i cannot stop laughing.

The other ignorant morron like you claims that God lives in third heaven. and you joined by suggesting that God lives in one baba house in Osun state.

blueAgent:
I did not expect much sense or response from a FOOL.

I know you would not dear what I asked you to do,


Keep hiding behind your keyboard dey claim Wannable Woke or Athiest.

MUMU.

Why da fork would i do what you suggested? it doesn't make sense and i am not Dumb, Achaic and ignorant like you, again i ask, why can't i do it here in America?


You are not hiding behind your keyboard right? If not because of your keyboard, do you think that you d be brave enough to speak to me the way you do, if you cross path with me? Every morron is brave from behind their keyboard.


What does woke or Atheist mean, i don't know what all that shit mean. Illiterate Fools like you always repeat these jargons that you cannot even explain the meanings.


Tell this shit to your father, i am sure he would understand it co's i don't
