The pastor included Naira Marley in his sermon notes and message to the congregation while telling them Naira Marley is intelligent despite being a marijuana smoker.

He used the lyrics of Naira Marley's song Aye to buttress his point while singing it to them. His words:

That boy only smokes weed but he is very intelligent.

He is very intelligent

(Starts singing)

Aye yi o le(This life is not hard)

Aye lo n maye le(It's humans that make life hard)

Eyin le ma sin iya yin(You are the ones that will bury your mothers)

He then went on to ask; 'Wouldn't you want to be the ones to bury your mothers?'
