US Blasts Mariah Carey For Performing In Nigeria: by Kessyy2k4(m): 3:23pm On Dec 16, 2013
US Blasts Mariah Carey For
Performing In Nigeria: Calling Us A
Country Known For 'Terror, Death
And Fraud'.
Seems the US media are not
comfortable with Mariah Carey
performing at a country they
described as the "center of the
world's email financial crimes".
A popular news site, Radar Online, had
this to say on the performance;
Mariah Carey proudly posted a pic
of herself in a slinky yellow dress
and wrote, "Backstage in Nigeria"
on Saturday.
But maybe the songbird should
have done some homework before
agreeing to the gig?
Her show was at Access Bank's
Christmas Party which was also a
farewell bash for the bank's
managing director.
And while Access Bank is a
reputable financial institution,
should Carey have known a few
basics about the African nation
before taking the paycheck?
Ironically - given that she was
performing for bankers - it seems
Carey wasn't aware Nigeria is well-
known as the center of the world's
email financial crimes! Nigeria is
even part of the name - as in
"Nigerian 411 Scams."
Nigeria is also, according to the
United Nations, the hub of human
trafficking as "a source, destination
and transit country.
AND, just for good measure, there
are mass killings going on in two
Nigerian states right now, and
according to Human Rights Watch,
the violence is being ignored by
federal authorities.
Do you think this assessment of Nigeria
is right? Do you have any issues with the
US star performing for Access Bank? Be
sure to share your thoughts in the
comments section.
