Naira Marley: Nigeria Country Of Impunity

Reactions have trialed the news of a jet company flying muscian Afeez Fashola aka Naira Marley and his crew from Lagos to Abuja for a concert in violation of the lockdown order and ban on inter state travel to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The jet company which has been suspended from operation by federal government spoke through its Director who in a letter of apology claimed the musician was mistaken for Works Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, not knowing that it was bunch of useless people the jet flew to Lagos, referring to Naira Marley and his crew.

In his reaction on his social media account, Ademola H. Adigun, did describe the jet company and Naira Marley incident as “small fry in the Impunity in Nigeria”, citing instances of Impurities being perpetrated by aides to the President including governors in violation of COVID- 19 kickdown order.

He wrote;

“I do not have a problem with Naira Marley or the jet company. They are but small fry in the impunity in Nigeria.
The minister’s sanctions are largely cosmetic and a tad hypocritical.

It was in the public space that we read that aides of the President have been visiting wives and husbands. Did they swim to get to Lagos or Maiduguri or is visitation an essential service?

Did we not see the APC Govs at their party headquarters? Is politics an essential service?

Let’s stop this charade and open up. We already have been told we are responsible for own safety. When does this pretence end?”
