So I’ve been sitting quietly, studying Nigerians’ reactions ever since Falz made that comment about internet scammers, and was I disappointed? Seriously speaking, do we have problem with English Language or are we just trying to be incredible clowns?? Falz didn’t say that you people shouldn’t do ‘yahoo yahoo’ na..all he said was that ARTISTES should stop GLORIFYING internet scams..are you an artiste ni?? so why bother yourself with what he said or didn’t say?? Why not let them artistes come out to defend their music and their choice of lyrics?? But mbah, we have to show the world that we have issues with understanding and interpreting literal terms and English Language itself *sighs*
Internet scam and credit card frauds are not the only way to make money so dude was just trying to caution his colleagues to stop glorifying ‘yahoo yahoo’ so the younger generations won’t grow up with the staunch belief that internet scam is the only way where the money lies (after all, the young shall grow and they are the leaders of tomorrow..let’s not forget that corruption don full ground already) I really don’t understand why y’all are getting defensive and rude since y’all are doing something ‘right’!
To make matter more interesting, remarkable young Segun Wire, replied ‘Lawyer turned musician’ Falz, and we all went crazy! Jesu! Lemme grab a drink while y’all keep on believing that ‘bird-poop’ story that, that boy actually came up with that interestingly boring, lenghty reply. I was actually enjoying and relating to that post but he lost me totally when he dragged Falz’s dad into the matter..I was like “Mo fo ooo, are we dragging the family tree into this ni??” If you have proof to nail his dad, kuku whistle-blow on him and get him arrested but as long as you don’t have any proof, you have no right whatsoever to drag him into this matter! For all I care, that reply was defensive..now the thing is, since you are right, why are you getting defensive?? You get defensive only when you are wrong and you want to try so hard to justify your wrong act! We all are sinners so there’s really no need to justify your sins..
I told my sis that Tonto Dikeh lost that war against Churchill immediately she granted that first interview..she presented weapons to be used against her(that’s a post for another day) I’m this kind of person that people find it convenient enough to lie against. I can’t even remember the many blatant lies and untrue stories people have concorted about me…simply because I hardly come out to defend myself. I’m always like ”why should I be defensive when I know I’m right and this person is just a dirty, pathetic liar?” I usually let people get away with their lies and false accusations because I know they are unknowingly digging their graves, while I quietly gather evidences to prove my innocence. Once you finish digging your grave, I will let Karma bury you and I will cover you up with my innocence!…Believe me, when you are right, there’s no need for you to get unnecessarily defensive!
I read one comment where this ‘Anti’ was like ”Stop calling yahoo guys, illegal. They are hardworking guys that hustle while lazy guys sleep in the night” I just sighed and rolled my eyes. That post could have been the bomb but she had to go spoil it with that ‘while lazy guys sleep in the night” Like, are you kiddin me right now?? I am not into yahoo yahoo but I have a job…I’ve been working all day and I decide to get my well-deserved rest in the night, and that makes me lazy?? Kuku beat me up na! Defend what you to do without having to degrade someone else na.
Bottom line? Falz didn’t go out of line because he didn’t say you shouldn’t engage in internet scam. All he said was that artistes should stop glorifying ‘yahoo yahoo’ so people don’t get misled! As for me, I will say do whatever makes you sleep peacefully every night..and is at peace with your conscience! Lobatan!
Everyone has the right to his or her own beliefs and opinions..and you don’t have any right whatsoever to attack or be abusive (or even be stupid)while opposing anyone’s opinion.
I saw this quote somewhere: ‘Real hustlers don’t talk. They just hustle’
