Naira Marley holds fully packed concert In Abuja – Nigerians React

Nigerian Singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley is being called out on social media after he held a fully packed concert last night in Abuja.

Despite the rise in COVID-19 cases, Nigerian musician, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley has come under intense criticism for performing at a concert that recorded massive attendance in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

It was gathered that Naira Marley flew from Lagos to Abuja with Ex-BBNaija star, Kimoprah, despite the ban on interstate movement and flights.

The event which was meant to be a ‘drive-in-concert’ was held at the Jabi Lake Mall.

The musician was earlier arrested On April 6, 2020, for violating the lockdown rules by attending a house party organised by actress, Funke Akindele, and her husband Abdul Rasheed Bello.

He was later released after tendering a written apology to the Lagos State Government and an undertaking that he would henceforth comply with the government’s stay-at-home and social distancing directives; and that he would go into 14-day self-isolation, having attended a crowded birthday party.

However, Nigerians on Twitter have reacted to the current breach of the lockdown rules by the singer.

Deji Adeyanju said, “If Naira Marley gets away with this, all musicians should start doing concerts too and we should all disregard government directives and protocol on the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Ikenna Nzimora tweeted, “Naira Marley should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed”.

Another tweep, Aye Mojubar wrote, “Naira Marley had a concert in Abuja last night during a pandemic. There is actually something missing somewhere. If truly the youths are the hope of every nation, what’s your faith with this mindset?”

Woye1 tweeted, “Pls @hadisirika investigate the domestic flight that brought Naira Marley to Abuja. Was the flight for humanitarian/pharmaceutical issues @FAAN_Official. We need an explanation.”

SirWilliam tweeted, “All the people who went to Naira Marley’s concert yesterday complained about lack of palliatives. They complained about Nigeria’s poor healthcare and reduced healthcare budget. But Naira Marley breaking state border rules to perform in Abuja. They turned up for the madness.”

Why should Naira Marley (who seem to like so much walaha) be arrested again when we watched on TV how several government officials who work with the president flout the lockdown rules and nothing happened to them? The Aisha Buhari issue is also about an SA flying around.

So KimOprah hosted Naira Marley’s concert yesterday but will be wearing nose masks at bbnaija reunion. Interesting 🤔

Naira Marley did it first with Funke Akindele. Sincere there was no stringent punishment for that I know he’ll repeat it, and voilà he did it again in Abuja overnight.

Lawless citizens, lawless govt, lawless nation.

I know Naira Marley stays in Lagos and not Abuja. How did he fly to Abuja when there’s still a travel ban in Nigeria?

Naira Marley didnt hold the concert in just any states in Nigeria but Abuja the Federal Capital where we have all the Government Parastatals that makes law, yet the concert went fine and nobody could stop it under this pandemic.

In my country, laws are made for the weak.🥺💔

Naira Marley organized a concert in Abuja amidst this pandemic and hundreds of people still went despite the rules of social gathering. I don’t know what some of these Nigerian celebrities stand for tbh.
