A term for a highly obsessive fan of a certain 'controversial' Nigerian artiste, Naira Marley. Marlians are the most terrifying music fanbase out there. And in case it wasn't obvious, it's a combination of Marley and lie-on (pronounced as lee-ann).
Members are young persons in their late teens and early 20s, and adults who missed out on their childhood - they all obsess over him to no end.
In many minds of Marlians, Naira Marley is the second coming of the legendary Bob Marley.
Members of Marlian will not hesitate to harass fans of Simi, Ruggedman, Adekunle Gold and upstanding members of society.
Their chief weapon (among others) is simulated masturbation act in public and foul-mouthed rhymes.
Girl: Who is the droopy-panted half wit yelling obscenities and waving around rolls of cash?
Guy: Oh...that's Ikhide! He's a Marlian.
1. A perfect term for those spreading, creating or publishing unverified and false information about the novel coronavirus.
2. An idiot who doubts the existence of COVID-19, therefore ignoring the need for social distancing and proper hand washing.
3. A play on the disease’s official name, COVID-19, and, well, the word idiot
I see too many covidiots on social media spreading false information about the virus
A person who can see through the terribleness of Naira Marley, and is not affected by his indoctrination.
A term Nigerians often use to justify their tiredness or hesitance to do more than they have already done. A phrase that has become a handy excuse for lazy people.
The phrase however, is the first portion of the refrain in a famous song by Timaya with the same name. The song insidiously grows on you, crawls into your ears and lays musical eggs in your brain.
Amaka: Seyi, will you attend tomorrow's meeting?
Seyi: No, i won't. I can't kill myself.
1. A popular Nigerian phrase (in Pidgin English) that implies that 'ugly' people cannot be loved by anybody other than their mothers, based on the belief that mothers generally love their kids regardless.
2. May have originated from the English saying, "a face only a mother could love"
Obasanjo is a typical example of monkey no fine, but him mama like am
Chinedu is the perfect boyfriend. A ladies man, and probably the only guy that Amaka never disappoints. Usually sweet, sensible, smart, full of charisma, loving, teasing and naughty. He is a no-nonsense person and someone you could count on. His loyalty is never in question.
A guy that is outgoing and friendly. Everyone knows of him but he keeps very few close friends. He can be a really shy person at first, might take some time for you to get to know him, but once you become friends, you'll never regret it.
A bit annoying sometimes but in a good way. He is crazy and fun to be with. He can make you laugh all day. He seems brave, but a very sensitive guy.
Chinedu strives to do things for the better, hardly selfish, observant and family oriented. Once you find a Chinedu you'll love him always. Absolutely amazing guy.
Olanma: Why are you smiling?
Diogo: I think i may have found a Chinedu
