Seun Kuti, Nigerian musician and
son of Fela Kuti, late Afrobeat singer, says internet fraudsters better known
as ‘Yahoo boys,’ are legitimate children of corrupt politicians.
The Grammy award nominee made
this statement in an Instagram post while decrying the magnitude of criticisms
and 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!.”
The singer had recently alleged
that westerners birthed social vices like female child subjugation and jungle
justice in the country.
