A Nigerian student has shared photos of the injury he got after his teacher flogged him mercilessly for being a Marlian.
Marlian is the collective name ascribed to fans and followers of Nigerian artist Naira Marley who has received a huge fanbase since he rose from obscurity to fame.
It’s widely believed the musician’s brand has a negative influence on the youth and that’s the more reason why the teacher went to this extent to instil discipline into the affected student.
The student shared a photo of his bruises and asked the artist to make a video to set the records straight that being a Marlian does not mean you are an occultist.
“What we get for calling ourselves marlians…..my school thinks marlian is a cult that do not wear belt and the girls do not wear bra and pants Monday Wednesday and Friday…. Please tag @nairamarley so this statement can be debunked naira Marley has to make a video to tell the world that he is a disciplined person so all this can be reduced.
