The Assemblies of God Church in Surulere area of Lagos is organising a four-Sunday special deliverance programme to free young people who have identified as Marlians from the ‘Marlian spirit’ which it described as a ‘brand new virus’.

Marlian is the appellation fans of singer Naira Marley have coined to identify themselves.

A banner displayed on a street in Surulere by the church revealed that the programme will hold throughout the four Sundays in the month of February.

The programme also promised to provide solutions for people already possessed by the Marlian spirit.

The banner further revealed that the programme organised by the Teenagers’ arm of the church would address how Marlians can be free from the spirit.

The banner reads:

Are you a Marlian? What you must know? How you must respond. How to be free

Describing the Marlian spirit, the Church added on the banner:

“It’s sweeping through the land, it’s creeping into our colleges and homes, it’s turning daughters against mothers and sons against fathers. Millions are hooked to this poison.”

The trend of identifying as a Marlian is fast spreading like a virus among teenagers and young adults and has landed many in trouble in the hands of their parents and school authorities.

WuzupNigeria reported that several students have been severely punished and suspended from school for openly identifying as Marlians.

Some of their professions include:

“Marlians don’t use belt”, “Marlians don’t graduate”, “Marlians don’t have manners” and very recently “Marlians don’t wear pants”.
