After Mariah Carey performed in Nigeria and posted a picture online
saying “Backstage in Nigeria” lots of comment has raised both from the
side of those who invited her and from her own side, but the truth is
that she isn’t the first performer who has taken a paycheck for
appearing in countries known for performing in Nigeria, other artiste
has found their way to perform in Nigeria like Chris brown and some
others. But recently a United States gossip site Radar Online
yesterday scolded Mariah Carey in an article posted on their site,
saying she shouldn't have accepted to do a gig in a country known for
'terror, death and fraud'. What nonsense, they can talk when the US is
the number one crime capital of the world. Read the Radar Online article
below... 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. Shocking that citizens of
other countries are scared of our country and that's why they are
against her for risking her life to perform in such a country like ours. “Systemic corruption in the Nigeria Police Force” is the problem, a HRW spokesperson told CNN.
