Pupils Schooled On Dangers Of Being A ‘Marlian’

Pupils have received a series of warnings regarding the street lifestyle termed as “The Marlian”.

These set of people are staunch supporters of Nigerian artiste, Afeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley.

At the “Security Day” Celebration organized by some law enforcement agencies in Lagos on Wednesday, Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Olatunji Disu said Marlian lifestyle is not what a responsible student should copy.

“The Marlians also change their natural hairs to dreadlocks, smoke illicit substances and live very rough lifestyles and other abnormal attitudes”, Disu said.

He switched to the menace of cultism, advising the younger generation not to associate with any confraternities and secret cults no matter what they were offering prospective members.

“If you join any secret and illegal cult, you are not sure of coming out alive. Moreover, it will affect the entire family system of its members.

“The cultists also depend heavily on the use of illicit drugs to drive them high. This has contributed to the high rate of crime in the country,” he said.

He harped on the distractions caused by social media addiction, as pupils no longer read their books. He further urged them to be security-wise “and remember your parents need you to take care of them at their old ages”
