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?

Errmmm, asking me whether I agree with this or not is out of the question, neither will my answer change the fact that this is what we're known for (smh), but did they lie?

How does singing a song for bankers put her bank account in jeopardy?

Her E-mails and bank to bank transactions with Nigeria is what they're bothered about, lols

Na wa ooo.

let them say whatever they like.

The title should be 'radar online blasts maria carey blah blah'. And why is this an issue? It's not as if its us government or any serious mag/newspaper. It's just a blog site for God sake! Aaargh!!!

Fatherlord in heaven, when will my Naija people stop being a sulker and ignore certain things?
Abeg, Stop exhibiting low self esteem, why should what 'radar online' says get to anyone

So if gistyinka blog for example bashes the united states, then all US entertainment sites will start spreading it? And also as 'Nigeria bashes US'? Fact is no one will care! - That's what they call self esteem! Not just opening a thread to write a poem like a dude did recently. I hope one day one day, Nigerians will get over their inferiority complex compound.
