Naira Marley: Fan begs people to raise N10m for singer’s bail, Nigerians react

The past few weeks on social media has been riddled with the news of hip hop star Naira Marley’s arrest by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), especially after his court appearance.

Recall that Legit.ng gathered that veteran singer Daddy Showkey, was among those who pleaded in support of Marley and prayed the crimes commission to temper justice with mercy.

In a recent development, a Twitter user, who appears to be a staunch supporter of the arrested music act, has called on members of the internet community to raise the sum of N10 million for his bail.

"Let’s support naira marleys bail with 10million naira Let it be paid into this account 3040728313 First bank Together we can . #FreeNairaMarley." he said.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
