Naira Marley Marley is regular in having run-ins with the law. He is a rebel. His rebellion, however, is not in the intellectual sense of Camus’ absurdism; rather, he is a crass bohemian who violates the law to criminal rather than philosophical ends.
French philosopher and father of Absurdism, the late Albert Camus, described the rebel as someone “who says ‘no,’ but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation; he is also a man who says ‘yes’ from the moment he makes his first gesture of rebellion.” Don’t be fazed by the seeming contradiction: the whole thesis of Camus’ philosophy is rejection of any meaning to life, at least in relation to humanity, and the absurdity of humans searching for meaning in a meaningless life.
Marley is a regular in having run-ins with the law. The latest instance was penultimate weekend when he travelled from Lagos, where he is based, to Abuja for a live musical concert in violation of restrictions by government on inter-state travel and a ban on public gatherings as warranted by Covid-19 pandemic. The concert, put together by Play Network Africa, Traffic Bar and El’Carnival, and sponsored by Glenfiddich, held at the Jabi Lake Mall in the federal capital.
An apology by ExecuJet boss Sam Iwuajoku better illuminated the dynamics of the aviation sector during this period of blanket restriction on flight operations owing to Covid-19 pandemic.
