Nigerians have taken to social media to make it clear they are not in support of internet fraud otherwise known as Yahoo Yahoo.
The topic became a hot debate after Nigerian singer Naira Marley, took to his IG page to show his support for Yahoo Yahoo, going one step further by praying for Yahoo boys and saying it is not a crime.
His statement, of course, got many taking, who immediately took to their different social media pages to drag the singer.
One of the people who reacted is veteran rapper Ruggedman who said;
“My brother, I love your music and all but you need to get one thing clear and do not mislead people, especially kids on social media. You can do Yahoo all you want, but do not disrespect the part of the black race that were sold into slavery by trying to use it to justify cyber crime.
“The people who bought slaves died ages ago. If you want to fight that, then start a cause/movement against the British and America. Whoever owned slaves, but stealing the hard earned money of other people isn’t about slavery.
“You say the Nigerian leaders are looting trillions outta this country, why aren’t you hacking their accounts and giving back to the people Robin Hood style? I swear I go hail you for that one.
“But bro respect the black race and don’t try to use it to justify cyber crime. E no follow. If it wasn’t a crime police would not be busting boys for it.
“Thousands of qualified Nigerians cant get jobs outside Nigeria because of “yahoo”. Their families are suffering.
“Young Nigerians are suspects everywhere they go because of “yahoo”. If you want to do it, enjoy. Nobody is stopping you. But remember that if you do the crime, if you are caught you do the time.
“I got friends that are into it, I don’t judge. I got friends who are in jail as we speak for doing it, I don’t judge. All man dey hustle. God bless all our hustles and let’s hold our leaders accountable.
Others have since taken to Twitter to drag the singer.

Naira marley needs to shut up and find something better to do with his life. No Nigerian celebrity should reply him again. It shows the level of backwardness in our country if an average man thinks the only justification for this cyber crime is from the point of view of slavery.

I didn’t even know who Naira Marley was until this Saga. I blame you people for granting these types audience and helping them become popular.

Naira Marley is not stupid. He actually believes what he’s saying. That is the problem. Some youths don’t know right from wrong anymore. Nigerians become successful then become motivational speakers on social media, even if successful from fraud.

I'm not surprised about Naira Marley issue.
90% of Nigeria musicians are only cleaning their fraud money with Music.
Sometimes I wonder how you released one song that we downloaded for free and get to buy houses and cars with it.

Its not the fault of Naira Marley actually.. Olamide should be blamed.
Olamide spear headed the music of these yahoo boys using Music to disguise to us.
