Get the Alobam mug.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.
