Why You Should Be Exceptionally Angry To Be Called A “Marlian” As Street Meaning Surfaces!

Lovers of the lyrics and antics of singer Naira Marley ( real names Azeez Kayode Fashola) are famously referred to as Marlians.

The Singer has dedicated many lines from his songs to them and the chant ‘’Marlians Marlians’’ has become a signature intro for his music.

Checks by societynow.ng, however, revealed that is where the good about the tag ‘’Marlian’’ ends.

‘’Martian has since become a very derogatory and demeaning slang on the street’’ societynow.ng learned.

The fact that the follow-up term ‘’Omo no Salary’’ (No salary guys) is now an appendage to Marlians shows the depth the identity has sunk.

‘’Omo no Salary’’ is the street slang for joblessness in extreme negative term.

In proper context what ‘’Marlians awon omo no salary’’ connotes is ‘’ mindless mob, not gainfully engaged and always up to no good’’ societynow.ng gathered.

The investigations conducted by societynow.ng revealed that the negative attribution to Marlians came from the anti-social ways of Naira Marley.

Naira – as fondly called – continues to attract condemnation far and wide (except from his marlians) over lyrics and videos that promote the ills in the society since he came to public consciousness with arrest and ongoing prosecution for ‘’internet fraud’’.

He went overboard after securing bail with the release of songs glorifying big bums (Opotoyi) and promoting the act of masturbating (Soapy).

The videos for the two songs are labeled ‘’ damning’’ far and wide.

‘’He has done worse things than the song (Am I A Yahoo Boy) and the arrest and arraignment for internet fraud that first earned him infamy since he secured bail.’’ A source stated and then opined ‘’Indeed, It takes only a Malian to identify with someone that released the video of a 5year old boy mimicking the act of masturbation in the name of promoting his inglorious soapy’’.
