Naira Marley has been the talk of the day over his 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. Timaya went on his Instagram
page to advise Naira Marley for that statement. A week after, Naira
Marley is be cooling off in the confines of Ikoyi Prison.
Now News in Full: 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 yourself, what
does this Naira Marley and EFCC drama has to teach me?
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
If only Naira Marley had focused on his career, and mind his
f**king business this issue would have been averted. If Naira
Marley had made that Yahoo statement and stopped at that, God
knows EFCC would
not have come for him.
2. Never
Do Anything for The Gram Or For Fame
At the beginning of the whole outburst by Naira
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 and President
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 Association which 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!
