“As Marlian, you've got to enjoy your youth but don’t destroy your future,” he tweeted.

Marley’s tweet could be connected to the recent events where fans were thrilled at his educational background.

The bubbly singer, who was seen as a bad influence due to his way of life and statements which is imagined to support internet fraud may need to be taken a twist from his usual take on life.

The singer in spite of being called names on social media defies all odds and remains to release music that seemingly promotes immorality.

NAN reports that the Director-General, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Garba Abari, had expressed deep concern over what he called heinous lifestyles of some Nigerian artistes.

He noted that the life-style of some artists was negatively influencing the youth.

Meanwhile, during a recent Instagram live session, the singer urged Nigerians to wish for internet fraudsters (Yahoo boys), saying they're the reason money circulates to the commoner.

He said, “All you guys, all the cash in your pockets, all the cash you spend, you think that it’s the govt that's making the cash go round?”

The video has since stirred reactions from Nigerians, who described Marley as a disgrace and bad example for young Nigerians.

Senator  (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa has called on Deltans to be more united following the re-affirmation of his victory at the polls by the Supreme Court which declared him as the duly elected Governor of Delta State.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa

The governor made the call on Wednesday evening at a thanksgiving service held at the Government House Chaplaincy, Asaba to celebrate the Supreme Court verdict.

"I want to thank Deltans for all your prayers and support and as we move forward, it is time to work for the good of the state; I cannot do it alone; as a government, we require the cooperation of all; it is time for us to partner together; it is time to forget the bitterness.

"I will use this opportunity to call on my opponent, Chief Great Ogboru for him to realize that it is time for him to work together with the state government to build our state; I believe that truly everyone can make his contributions and impact whether he is in office or not as it is truly time for us to be united as it is in the best interest of the state to work together and continue to pray for God’s strength to move this state forward.

"God took us through the elections, through the tribunal, Appeal Court and now,  the Supreme Court and in each of the victories, we have always returned thanks to God because He alone has made it possible; we trusted in God and He has seen us through and today we have victory.

"This victory is dedicated to God because God willed it to be, to settle the state and  to ensure that there is peace; to bring oneness among us because without peace and without oneness, we can not move forward as a people."

Governor Okowa who attended the thanksgiving with his wife, Dame Edith, his Deputy, Barr. Kingsley Otuaro and other top government functionaries said.

He used the occasion to speak on 2023 elections saying, "I know that 2023 is not so far but, it is also not too near, so, there is a time for everything and now, it is truly time as a government to work for the people; when the time to play politics comes we will play politics."

"For those of us in government, I want to plead that the best thing for us to do now is to work. There will be room to play the politics and by His grace when the time comes, everything will work out smoothly; no one can  make a Governor; only God can decide who becomes Governor; so, now we have to work together to achieve a Stronger Delta as we need to spend the next few years working for the people of Delta State."

Chaplain of Government House Chaplaincy, Venerable Charles Osemenem in his sermon, said, God works in miraculous ways, further asserting that "many a time when you see results, you forget that there was a battle over which God gave you victory; we thank God because this victory is a sign of what He will do in Delta State."

The Supreme Court had earlier today, reaffirmed the March 9, 2019, election victory of Delta State Governor, Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa. In a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Centus Nweze, the court held that the appellant, Mr. Great Ogboru of All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to prove his allegations of over-voting at the polls. The judgment which was concurred to by six other justices of the court held that the appeal lacked merit and that the court was putting a final nail on the appellant's forensic Golgotha.

Nweze said that the appeal was a waste of the precious time of the apex court.

He noted that the majority of the documents tendered by the appellants were based on hearsay, adding that the petition was a sheer waste of the genuine time of the court. "There are a plethora of decisions of this court on the position of card readers and they are too numerous to begin to mention them or for the appellant to claim they are not in the know.

"The appeal was against the valid election of Governor Okowa and it is hereby dismissed for lack of merit," he declared. The Supreme court also dismissed appeals brought against Governors Okezie Ikpeazu, Darius Ishaku and Abubakar Bello of Abia, Taraba and Niger States, respectively.

Inside The Stones Yard

The yellowish parchment sat on his desk in front of him, I thought it was a floor plan for a house or some mighty building.

Handing the drawings to the African woman, he said to me; "Get to know him, because I won't be the one to marry you!"

"Let me see it!" I shouted running off to snatch the parchment document from the black woman's hand.

Soon, I was outnumbered with quite a few black women, fiddling and giggling with the priced document in their hands, trying their best to keep it from my eyes But, I already had caught a glance of it, and knew that a beautiful man was printed on the surface of it!

His black shiny hair I could easily identify on land or sea, but these women handle the parchment artistry that was filled with all sorts of wizardry.

Nonetheless, my heart filled with concerns somehow told me, if he truly belongs to me, he would certainly find a way to come and get me.

The man behind the desk stood still, while I studied his ever subtle and changing face, soul, body and even religiosity... now turning his face away from me, he knew of the shamefulness and heart pain he had single-handed bestowed upon me. My thoughts echoing from my head to my heart.

My reflection shifted, and I began wondering, if he and these, almost seven female wizards had conspired to destroy me?

Our talks of marriage were now no more... had abruptly stopped! Because my desire for tying the knot and the lack thereof was his and his cronies undercover happiness.

But I, intuitively and instinctively knew, that that parchment paper handled by others, held my future, my kingdom and the man who truly loves me.

Liverpool are in Doha preparing for their Club World Cup.

Liverpool is in Doha getting ready for their Club World Cup semi-final against Mexico's Monterrey, but before that game, Jurgen Klopp can spy on their potential final opponents whereas ensuring he tunes in to look at the Anfield club's second string in league Cup action on Tuesday.

The runaway Premier League leaders are in the bizarre position of having to play 2 matches in 2 days on 2 separate continents, almost 7,000 kilometers apart, with the League Cup quarter-final away to Aston Villa being followed by the meeting with the CONCACAF Champions League winners in Qatar on Wednesday evening.

The club's under-23 coach, Neil Critchley, can lead Liverpool's youngsters against Villa, while Klopp and all of his star players arrived in Doha on Sunday trying to end a fine year by winning the Club World Cup for the first time. Brazilian giants Flamengo, the Copa Libertadores winners, meet Asian champions Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia within the 1st semi-final at Doha's Khalifa International Stadium on Tuesday at 8:30 pm standard time (1730 GMT), with Liverpool's League game kicking off at 1945 GMT.

"Tomorrow night we tend to begin with watching the other semi-final live in the stadium, I think it should be possible. so we will leave there a bit earlier and sit here in front of the television and watch that game," Klopp told Liverpool's official website.

"Aston Villa is the big favorite, that's clear, but who cares? It's football and the ball rolls in every direction, that is pretty cool."

Liverpool arrived in Qatar without injured defender Dejan Lovren but with Georginio Wijnaldum, who came off in Saturday's 2-0 win over Watford. Welsh right-back Neco Williams and midfielder Curtis Jones, both 18, may ordinarily are in the team against Villa but were instead known as up by Klopp to travel to Qatar. Monterrey reached the semi-final when beating Al-Sadd, coached by Barcelona great Xavi Hernandez, on Sat.

'Massive' for Flamengo

Al-Sadd is involved in this tournament by their status as champions of the host nation. This remains a strange, disjointed competition, and one that will soon disappear in its current format as FIFA press the reset button and come back with a controversial, 24-team extravaganza in China from 2021.

The importance of the trophy to Liverpool is debatable, and for sure none of their supporters would prefer winning the Club World Cup to claiming a primary English title since 1990.

Nevertheless, it's not one thing that Klopp and his aspect are dismissing, because the Anfield outfit look to continue recent European dominance within the competition -- the last six editions are won by the European representative, with Real Madrid taking the last 3.

Chelsea was the last European participant to fail to carry the trophy as they lost to Corinthians in 2012.

It is a competition that tends to mean more for South American clubs, representing a chance for them to measure themselves against Europe's best. Flamengo secured a ticket to Qatar once they won the Copa Libertadores last month, beating stream Plate within the final with 2 late goals by Gabriel Barbosa, the one-time Inter Milan flop.

This may be a large title. we all know this can be the ultimate for clubs around the world which means a lot in South America too," said Flamengo defender Rafinha, who played for Bayern Munich once they won the competition in 2013. Flamengo won the recent Intercontinental Cup in 1981 by beating Liverpool and they have their sights set on another meeting with the Anfield side, but 1st they must see off Al Hilal.

"In Brazil, people are talking a lot regarding Liverpool and forgetting that we've got a game before that. they're being forgotten as a result of they're from Saudi Arabia, they're not European and so they're under-appreciated," warned Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus Christ, who was previously in charge of Al Hilal.
