Mohbad: I’ll return to Nigeria if my safety is guaranteed, says Naira Marley

Naira Marley, the Marlian Records head honcho, says he will return to Nigeria for interrogation if the police can guarantee his safety.

Mohbad, the former Marlian Records signee, died on September 12 and was buried the next day.

Marley is one of the persons of interest in the death of Mohbad.

On Tuesday, the record label boss said he would honour the police invitation to assist in the ongoing investigation of Mohbad’s death. He also insisted that “I have no hand in Mohbad’s death”.

In a recent chat with Reno Omokri, Marley said he was aware that Mohbad “was in danger from people around me but not from me”.

The music label head also expressed concerns that the “mob has been poisoned by the media against me”.

Marley said he will only return to the country if the police guarantee his safety. He also denied any involvement in cult activities.

“There are a lot of angry mob that do not really want my head. I have been poisoned enough by the media so if they can guarantee my safety, I will be there,” he said.

“I personally believe that he was actually stressed as much as he needed help. I believe he had been bullied. There were people on his neck. There were people all over him that were in danger, but he was just not in danger from us.

“If he was in danger from me, if anybody is scared of me, you will see nobody is gonna come out on videos doing all of this. I do not belong to any cult whatsoever. I have not been in Nigeria since like 2019. From England, I do not know what is cultism.

“I have been wandering away. There are so many times in Lagos, I have been getting away from it. I am actually anti-cultist. I am against it. Because of so many times, they have tried to force me into it, but thank God, they have never succeeded in doing it.”

The Marlian Records label boss earlier said although they had “disagreements, no harm whatsoever was wished on Mohbad”.

Abimbola Craig, the Nigerian actress, has revealed why she is not married at 38.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Craig said she believes “marriage is a scam”.

The actress critiqued traditional marital roles where women are often burdened with home management and catering to their partners, referring to the title “Mrs” as shorthand for “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.

She also clarified that her decision to remain single is not because she opposes marriage but because she values a partner with self-awareness or purpose.

“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’,” she said.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me.”

Craig is best known for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’. She has also made her mark as a producer, co-producing the 2019 box office hit ‘Sugar Rush’ alongside Jade Osiberu.

Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed how he overcame early career setbacks to achieve success in Nollywood.

In an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Ninalowo said his initial failures ultimately led to his triumph in the entertainment industry.

When asked about his motivation to persevere in an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, the 44-year-old emphasised that being down can present unexpected opportunities for self-discovery.

Reflecting on his Nollywood journey, Ninalowo credited his initial failures for his eventual success.

“When you fall flat on your face and you are backed against the wall, that is when you get the biggest opportunities to discover yourself. I tell people that when I came to Nollywood, the secrets of my success are buried in my failures,” he said.

Ninalowo’s entry into Nollywood was far from smooth. He began as a producer but faced failure. He then ventured into music, only to find it wasn’t his calling. Undeterred, he returned to acting in the mid-2000s.

His breakthrough came with the 2015 movie ‘Desperate Baby Mamas,’ which propelled him to fame. Since then, the Ikorodu-born actor has appeared in numerous hit films, showcasing his versatility in both Yoruba and English movies.

Some of his notable roles include performances in ‘Fate of Alakada,’ ‘Coming From Insanity,’ ‘Breaded Life,’ ‘Lakatabu,’ and ‘Alter Date.’
