(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The news that controversial singer, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, better known as Naira Marley paid a visit to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and was subsequently made an ambassador of the agency has sparked social media reactions.
The African Examiner writes that Naira Marley in a now-viral video, during his visit to the NDLEA, tasked Nigerians to desist from engaging in drugs.
He said: “Wad up my people, is your boy Naira Marley. I will like to urge my fans, the Marlians, and all the Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs because it is not good for your well-being. Let us stop substance abuse in any form. I have keyed in to this campaign to support NDLEA to stop drugs in the street, please join us. It is really not good. It makes you go back into crime. It does a lot of things to you. Thank you very much.”
