Nollywood actor, Jude Chukwuka, has alleged that president Buhari doesn’t command as much following as Naira Marley does.

The 56-year-old recently became an internet sensation after posting video clips of himself singing along to one of Marley’s songs titled, Mafo.

Jude claimed that marlians are not irresponsible and has outrightly disagreed with people who are of the opinion that an elderly actor like him shouldn’t promote Naira Marley’s songs.

He said;

“It depends on where one is standing. If you have your head in the clouds, you would say the lyrics are vulgar. But if you have your feet on the ground, you would realise that he sings about the realities of our society.

I chose to disregard the messenger and listen to the message. In the process, I found that his lyrics are not vulgar. They are the realities we are struggling within society. I believe those running the affairs of this nation should listen to what he (Marley) is saying.

“The president of the country does not command as much following as Naira Marley does. As far as I’m concerned, Marley has become a mouthpiece for pointing out the realities of society.

But those in leadership don’t want to hear those truths, so they would rather give the young man a bad name so his ‘products’ wouldn’t sell.’’
