The latest music craze in Nigeria now is YAHOOZE.
The interest that this song has generated is due to its theme, which tends to celebrate Internet fraud.
Internet fraud has done much harm to Nigeria as a nation, as most productive young men now spend quality time in cyber cafes, mainly perpetrating Internet scam.
They are called ‘Yahoo Boys,’ or ‘Yahoo, Yahoo.’
Oprah Winfrey’s unusual and condemnable conclusion that all Nigerians are fraudsters has a bearing on this phenomenon.
To now celebrate it via an LP is altogether unflattering for national image.
Is it not ironic that while our diplomats are out there trying to prove her wrong, we are celebrating the crime in the home front?
The excuse of these fraudsters is that they are retrieving what the colonialists stole from the continent centuries ago.
Nothing can be scarier than this.
Nigeria’s integrity has fallen to an all time low, and nobody wants to do business with Nigerians for fear of being ripped off.
When you search for the word ‘Nigeria’ on any search engine on the net, about a third of the results are related to fraudsters and 419.
This is a shame of unimaginable magnitude.
Thus, when artistes go about promoting this social ill, it has a way of giving approval to an absolutely illegal act.
I urge Nigerian artistes to desist from encouraging these unholy acts, as they risk being victims too.
What do y'all think?

There is nothing wrong with singing about a situation. Musicians should be given certain freedom to share happenings around them.
Its not a cause for alarm. What of those singing about money, sex and violence?
