'Naira Marley is the perfect person to pass NDLEA’s message across' — Man shares opinion

A Nigerian man has opined that popular rapper Naira Marley is a better choice to spread awareness about drug abuse in Nigeria.

This arose when Naira Marley and the NDLEA worked together to combat youth drug usage.

Recall that on Thursday, August 17, 2023, it was revealed that the artist is currently collaborating with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on a campaign against drug use.


The user @verydarrkmann expressed his thoughts on the NDLEA’s choice to utilize Naira Marley as an ambassador to fight drug consumption on his TikTok account.

Netizens’ remarks, in which they criticized NDLEA for picking the rapper who is well-known to be a long-time drug user, prompted this.

The TikToker who agrees with the NDLEA’s decision expressed his opinion.



On his TikTok account, the user @verydarrkmann voiced his opinions over the NDLEA's decision to deploy Naira Marley as an ambassador to combat drug use.

According to the man, the 'soapy’ crooner is the ideal choice to deliver the message noting that Naira Marley is a highly regarded member of society, among other things.

Additionally, since the message is coming from a drug user, the young will take it more seriously than they would if it were coming from a non-drug user.

He said: “The youths trust Naira Marley, because if a smoker comes out to tell them that smoking is bad, they’ll believe the smoker. Than carrying someone who doesn’t smoke to tell people to stop smoking. Nobody is going to believe that there’s danger by smokinɠ because he has no smoking experience.
.so Naira Marley is the perfect person to pass the message.”
