Yeni Kuti, daughter of
Fela Anikulapo Kuti has shared a piece of her mind regarding the
perpetrators of cybercrime popularly called ‘Yahoo Boys’ in Nigeria.
Yeni while speaking with P.M.
News blamed the government for the high rate of internet frauds in the country
by not making life easier for Nigerians.
The pioneer of Felabration also
accused the Nigerian politicians of defrauding the country, showing wrong
impressions to the young Nigerians.
“Let me tell you why I will blame
the government, they have not made life conducive for Nigerians in Nigeria.
“When I see a politician been
cooked with money, stealing and people still hail him because he has money.
That is the example of ‘teacher don’t teach me nonsense.”
“Many politicians, many senators
have all kinds of money. How did they make this money? They make the money by
defrauding the country. That one is fraud,” she said.
Yeni who frowns at
cybercrime, believed many Nigerian
youths are inspired by how politicians
live large without visible source of
income.
“So the young Nigerians will come
and say that one made money fraudulently, me too I will make my own by doing
cybercrime,” Yeni said.
“I am not saying it’s right but
I’m saying they are the teachers and the young ones are learning from them . So
they have to talk to themselves and set the right examples.
“As a government official, they
see me struggling, I’m not driving any big car because I’m a government
official, they now know that yes I have to work hard to be like that guy. But
now I’m seeing that the person I’m looking up to is getting money fraudulently.
That’s where ‘teachers don’t teach me nonsense’ comes from.”
Yeni however, disagreed with the
statement that all Nigerians are fraudsters.
“All Nigerians don’t do fraud.
All Nigerians don’t look for easy way out to look for money.
“It is not true. I don’t do fraud
and I’m a Nigerian, I have never done fraud and I’m 58,” she added.
