Naira Marley speaking further recommended a physical protest, as against online protests that have been adopted by many Nigerians.
All I’m saying is we need to stop protesting on Twitter because that’s all we’ve been doing. We need to protest in real life, just say you’re scared and you will rather tweet from home.

He then queried the action of SARS official, wondering why unarmed youths are shot at when they can simply be arrested and taken to the station.
Noooooo seriously though..Jokes apart… why shoot someone that’s not carrying a weapon? Can’t u just arrest them and take them to the station??

Speaking on the recommended physical protest, Naira Marley expressed that protesting is not a disturbance of peace in the society but that corruption, injustice, war and intimidation.
“Protesting is never a disturbance of the peace. Corruption, injustice, war and intimidation are disturbances of the peace”
