Nigerian singer Naira Marley defends internet fraudsters, says 'Yahoo Yahoo' is not a crime

- Nigerian singer, Naira Marley recently sated that slavery is justification for internet scams

- He shared this on his Instagram page, where he suggested that people who understand slavery will understand the necessity of 'Yahoo Yahoo'

In what appears to be a justification for the existence of Yahoo boys known as internet fraudsters, Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, recently stated that people who understand slavery will excuse yahoo boys and their means of livelihood.

All over the world, it has become quite popular that some Nigerian guys engage in internet scams. In fact, a popular joke is often shared on the internet about a Nigerian prince looking to dispose of the bulk of wealth he has - a well known line used to capture the attention of victims who end up being defrauded of their hard-earned money.

While security and anti-graft agencies try their hardest to combat the crime by arresting the criminals, internet scams are still very much carried out and sometimes, even glorified by singers.

Just recently, singer, Marley, tried to justify the crime by suggesting that it is pay back for having Africans work as slaves in an earlier century.

His post generated a lot of reactions with most people criticising him for making such a statement.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
