Mariah Carey Criticised For Performing In Nigeria by haibe(m): 3:26pm On Dec 16, 2013
An American website, Radar has heavily criticised
Mariah Carey for performing in Nigeria over the
weekend.


Mariah Carey who was in Nigeria for the Access
Bank Christmas Party, had claimed in a picture she
posted that she enjoyed every bit of her stay in
Nigeria. Mariah Carey proudly posted a photo of
herself in a slinky yellow dress and wrote,
“Backstage in Nigeria”

Few hours after her post, she was attacked by a
popular American site, Radar Online, saying that
her visit was unreasonable and for financial gains.
According to the site, Mariah performed for the
‘money men in Nigeria – world’s centre of bank
fraud and human trafficking.

The bone of contention is, Maria Carey should have
done some homework before accepting the offer of
performing at Access Bank’s Christmas Party.

“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, the site had queried.

“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. “ the website
further reports.

The publication generated almost a 100 comments,
with majority of them pouring blames on Maria
Carey and mocking Nigeria.
