I Can't Kill Myself
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.

Marlian
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.
