Nigerians are lazy. Just look at the number of students that pass SSCE, GCE, UME etc without cheating. High School kids (even senior primary school boys) all aim for the EASY LIFE without much HARDWORK People can keep blaming the government (yea, they su.ck!) But TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT! Work hard, be creative The Land is green 150 mililionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn people Gosh, that sounds like limitless opportunities waiting to be explored (not exploited) In China where I have been a number of times, I am amazed to see many of the youth don't wait for the Govt to provide the jobs, THEY MAKE THEM. Do something right. And be content! |

Disclaimer: This post is simply for sarcasm purpose. If you miscrue ma mix of humor and sarcasm for anything else na you know Yahoo-Yahoo is Nigeria's gift to the world Iraq gave us bombers Peru gave us china-white (heroin) Colombia gave us cocaine Jamaica gave us ganja The Germans gave us beer In other words we all have our vices Crime rate has reduced to an extent in a lot of areas due to yahoo i dunno if y'all have noticed but i would give an example. Ma neighbourhoods in the late 90's early Two thou's was like Compton where a gunshot was like your doorbell that has kinda reduced since yahoo boiz came to town In a nutshell Nigeria's problems are bigger than Yahoo and while Yahoo is not the way, We as a Nation have to solve those underlying problems first or else Yahoo would not die it would only multiply Ma take on the song goes thus: This tune is like a condom jingle! People wey go $hag raw go $hag raw. The thing is these Microsoft peeps did not do their research at all judging by the artistes they picked. Sometimes its not about the message its about the messenger! M.I, Banky W, Modele, Omawumi. These are more or less ajebo or omo mummy artistes your average runz boy/street hustler cannot relate with these fellas! Why could they not pick say a 2face, Pasuma, Obesere, Eedris, Dbanj, P-square e.t.c yeah i know some names there are ridiculous abi? But then again its not always about the message its about the messenger |

This song was recorded for the B.L.I.N.G. project which was initiated by Ohimai Godwin Amaize as an ambassador of the Microsoft Internet Safety, Security and Privacy Initiative for Nigeria (MISSPIN) a joint campaign by Microsoft and Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) which seeks to re-direct the energies of young Nigerians from cyber crime to positive online engagements. The B.L.I.N.G. musical collaboration project which enjoys the sponsorship of Microsoft has the benefit of having Cobhams Asuquo as producer, and an impressive line-up of artistes who volunteered to support the B.L.I.N.G. project: Banky W, MI, Modele, Omawumi, Rooftop MCs, Bez and Wordsmith. Also, several Nigerian celebrities like Fela Durotoye, Dele Momodu, Denrele Edun, Ofunneka Molokwu, Iyanya etc turned up at the video shoot in Lagos in January, 2010. According to Tim Cranton, Associate General Counsel, Microsoft "MISSPIN Ambassador Ohimai Godwin Amaize is working to shift cultural perceptions of scammers and their victims through the B.L.I.N.G. project, which unites some of Nigeria’s most influential musicians around the problem of cybercrime. Their song, “Maga No Need Pay,” challenges young Nigerians to resist the temptation of “yahoo-yahoo” and avoid creating more maga, or victims. The song, an Afro Hip-Hop and R&B fusion, is intended to help inspire both national and international audiences."

Reading most of the arguements here made me remember something my grandmother used to tell me, "People will always find a good reason to do the wrong thing" and unfortunately its quite true. My two cents |
Re: Nigeria Uses Celebrity Power To Stem Cybercrime by BLING1: 8:26pm On Feb 13, 2010 |
Here are the lyrics of the song: Intro: Echo: Eh!, Eh!, Eh!, Eh-Eh!, Maga no need pay! For me to buy correct motor, For me to take make my dough, Maga no need pay! Eh! Eh! Maga no need pay! Verse 1: Omawumi Reminiscing as I walk to my car, Thinking about how it used to be, For Ekpoma, I dey ride okada and most times I dey soak garri, I wanted to change the way I lived But I didn’t have to do those things. Now I’m rolling VIP And all the girls wanna be like me, yeah, Verse 2: Modele You ask me how I deal with my reality, Gotta tell you truly it ain’t easy, no! I feel the pressure to find something wrong to do Then I remember you reap what you sow! Now I’m sitting staring at the screen of my computer, I’m thinking really hard about what truly matters, What with all these data, just to catch a maga, It could have been my father, or someone else’s brother Chorus: Banky W, Cobhams Asuquo & Omawumi Maga no need pay! For me to buy correct motor, For me to take make my dough Maga no need pay! No need for me to go cafe I hustle hard to make my pay Maga no need pay No need to do Yahoo-Yahoo (to do Yahoo-Yahoo) Maga no need pay! Eh! Eh! Maga no need pay! Eh! Eh!, Eh! Eh! Verse 3: Banky W Seven in the morning, it’s a brand new day Eyes still swelling, still at the cafe Hustling real hard from Sunday to Sunday Hoping someday that maga will pay But maga no need pay For me to live correct They call me Mr. Capable, I gat my self-respect No need to do Yahoo-Yahoo for me to cash a cheque I don’t need no maga, just work harder now Verse 4: Bez Tell me what a boy like me should do Thought I heard the guys that rule do Yahoo-Yahoo And if I do not do it I’m uncool I’ll be a fool to the girls in school But maga no need pay to get a good degree, Or have a great opportunity Don’t have to hack and attack, Make use of CD cracks We’re keepin’ it original, now you know my swag Repeat Chorus Verse 5: Rooftop MCs (Soulsnatcha & Sokleva) Soulsnatcha: Twale officer! What’s the problem sir? Or there’s a law against cruising in a Range sir? Sokleva: I don’t know what you think we are, Cos we roll in fancy car? We’re making the sweet money, I call it the candy bar. Soulsnatcha: All those wey maga pay, Where dem dey today? I’m straight no deceit, My money get receipt! Sokleva: I don’t mess with cybercrimes, But I make the cypher rhyme. I get paid for my time, Don’t need to scam a dime! Verse 6: Wordsmith I’m your role model’s role model, There’s no second guessing whom, Wordsmith was made to make you change like a dressing room. I’m living proof that there’s dignity in labour, My bars is life imprisonment and this is hard labour. Verse 7: MI My father said I was a star before I ever spit a bar, He said when you travel far, Don’t forget who you are. Represent Nigeria, Represent for Africa. Even when the things were hard, I place my future in my God, (Yes, yeah) See my nation’s reputation suffers much condemnation, This’ our situation. Are we cybercrime criminals? No! We are the mineral resources of our fatherland, We must rise and take the stand. Every day heroes are born, All stereotypes are torn. Things we did to cause us harm, We off that and now we on, Hard work, positivity, Truth, reliability Expose your ability, Change our reality, That’s word! (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Repeat Chorus 2ice Outro with chorus in the background: MI Cheer! Nigeria! Yeah, yeah, listen everybody, Put your BLING up right now! BLING in this case means we’re Brilliant, we’re Legitimate, we’re Inspired, we’re Nigerian and we’re Great! It means that we do not have to do anything that we ought not to do to make money y’all! We just gatto apply ourselves and work hard and be creative and innovative. Be truly Nigerian. We will get there, y’all! Chorus till fade |

Water flows from place of abundance to place of scarcity(this is a simple law of nature). When they had nothing they started from Africa. Africa is the foundation of U.S and European wealths. I.E; it is he who have that gives to he who dont have. Now that they have it's our turn to have water flow from abundance to scarcity. It's a disgrace for a whiteman to complain he/she sent money to Africa. How about the many years of looting in Africa during slavery and the unpaid salaries to our forefathers in their countries and in their farmlands in the Caribean? |
