Nigerian musician and son of Fela Kuti, late Afrobeat
singer, Seun Kuti says internet fraudsters better known as ‘Yahoo boys,’ are
legitimate children of corrupt politicians.
The Grammy award nominee noted that the government should
stigmatize Nigerian criminals and not just ‘Yahoo boys’.
Kuti made this statement in an Instagram post while
criticizing the magnitude of societal condemnation leveled against internet
fraudsters as against that of corrupt politicians in the country.
“The yahoo boy is the legitimate child of the political and
business elites. Our ability as Nigerians to pick and choose what criminals to
hate and what criminals to jump and dance for is the reason we can’t develop
especially when the criminals we shuck and jive for are the real devils.,” he
wrote.
“Stigmatize all Nigerian criminals, not just the yahoo boys.
We’re criticizing yahoo boys but haven’t used our influence to ask all our bank
MDs how Nigeria’s money is leaving the country.
“Removing their titles and watching how they live can tell
you the difference between a Nigerian political or business elite and a yahoo
boy. Without political and corporate oppression, Yahoo Boys cant oppress us!.”
Recall that the entertainer had recently alleged that
westerners birthed social vices like female child subjugation and jungle
justice in the country.
“We didn’t know anything about subjugating women until the
whites came to teach us. They say we are male sovereignists, we hate our women,
all with no historical backing,” he had said.
