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.

The 4th democratic governor of Anambra state. He is widely regarded by Anambrarians as one of the worst governors of Anambra state. More commonly known as "Willie the drunk", he is supported mainly by intellectually disabled persons or the 1% who know about his skirt chasing problem. Some of the things he's achieved as governor include:
1. Putting the cart before the horse
2. Refusal to take action during the Onitsha market fire. He was caught hosting visitors and measuring dick with the Nigerian army during the fire. Millions of property were lost; no fire fighters around to help contain the fire.
3. Arranges a photo op with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
4. Bans the operation of commercial motorcycles without setting up an alternative.
5. Incapable of building and maintaining an adequate, safe system of roads and bridges.
6. Blames Peter Obi for his drinking problems and accountability issues.
This is an unbiased definition of Willie Obiano. I kid you not.

When someone says something unclear, you can ask them to provide more detail, by asking them to expand or offer more explanation. By so doing, they are kowatiating. Also spelled kowaciate. Pronounced as /kɒwaʃıeıt/.
The word is of Nigerian origin and derived from the Igbo word "Kowa" meaning "to explain" and adding the suffix "tiate" to it.

This is a question typically asked by Nigerians to show care or pretend to worry about your 'stomach'. The question 'have you eaten?' is sometimes met with silence, heavy sigh, or a lie. And If the reply is 'I haven't eaten', there is a chance you will hear 'Go and cook na'.
The question could also suggest strong term of endearment.
The phrase is exactly what you get If someone likes you
It's also an annoying question we love to hear, even though we act like we don't
Three words that have lost their originally intended meaning
A serious inquiry that should not be taken seriously
