Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga has thrown her weight behind fellow musician Simi in a call against internet fraud by Nigerians.
Simi in an Instagram video begged individuals involved in internet fraud to desist from it as she outlined the countless devastating effects it had on Nigeria in general.
The singer revealed that she’s hurt that despite the number of people fighting against Cyber crime, people are still doing their best to spoil the name of the country hence hindering people’s growth because they’re so many counties who wouldn’t want to do business with Nigerians because of the track record of internet fraud.
Do you know how many Nigerians go for business meetings or just to even get the smallest opportunity for themselves to make it and they leave with nothing because they’re Nigerians, that is the only excuse that they get. “sorry we cannot work with Nigerians”
Simi opened up that she cannot watch an issue like this continue to go wrong and keep quiet. In her words “I care and I’m not passive.” and if talking will make you stop listening to her music, the singer says she doesn’t care as she doesn’t expect people to like her or listen to her songs if what she has to say about cybercrime affects them that much.
This did not sit well with a number of people who came at her but rapper M.I. Abaga believes internet fraud is ‘hurting’ Nigerians more than it is ‘helping’ them. He applauded Simi for her courage and “fortitude for speaking out on what” she believes in.
