I need to apologise...I've not updated my blog in ages but the last couple of weeks have been crazy. I'm not complaining though, January has been an exciting month for me - I can't believe today is the last day of the month!
So today I've just been lazing about, checking my favourite blogs and surfing the net. It was while doing this that I came across a song on one of my favourite music sites. The song is called Maga No Need Pay by Banky W, M.I, Rooftop MCs, Omawumi, Modele, Bez & Wordsmith and I guess you can call it anti-Yahoo,Yahoo (cyber crime). I listened to the song, liked it and scrolled down the page to see what others thought. I was shocked by the response!!!
It was overwhelmingly negative! I could not believe anyone in their right mind would get angry at people for trying to sing about something positive. I had to read every single one of the comments and the more I read, the more my blood boiled! I got so angry...I felt I had to say my piece.
So here's the comment I posted and here's a link to the original website where you can listen to the song and also read the comments. Let me know your thoughts! http://www.notjustok.com/2010/01/28/leakmaga-no-need-pay-ft-banky-w-m-i-rooftop-mcs-omawumi-modele-bez-wordsmith/?cp=all#comment-29003
Ok so I’ve read all the comments on this page and from a female point of view, its a major eye-opener! Apologies if my post becomes lengthy but I’ve just realised (at least from the overwhelming number of pro-Yahoo Yahoo comments on this page) that most young Nigerian guys are inherently LAZY!!!
There’s something fundamentally wrong with you if you can ever ever justify choosing Yahoo-Yahoo as a way of life, as a career path. That’s so stupid. I know times are hard and thats why I’ll not berate someone that gets involved in Y-Y to sharply sort themselves out (we’ve all stolen a pen or a piece of meat at some point) but to do it soooo unashamedly speaks loudly of your ignorance and disrespect for your fellow human being. To do it continously and then prance around in brightly coloured clothes and ridiculously huge cars and drink yourself to stupor so others can know you’ve ‘arrived’ is the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen. You call the peeps you steal from Magas? Actually, you guys are the biggest magas – you collect the money, spend it on Gucci, LV, Moet, Hennesy etc Last time I checked, those are not Nigerian brands so the money just goes straight back into their economy (I should buy LVMH shares!) Its a freaking vicious cycle spurred on by the Unoriginal Dreams of the Y-Y clan!
Look around you, there are so many failed states in the world! These are hard times for every single country out there! Even the rich are crying.
Quit blaming the lack of opportunities – you sound like a broken record! There are so many opportunites to enrich yourself in the UK, yet Naija boys get to London and what do they do? Yahoo-Yahoo!
The truth is most of these guys are not hustlers…you do not know the meaning of the word. Have you held 3 jobs down while going to Uni? Have you had to pitch your business idea to guys you know only want to get in your pants? Have you had to pay school fees of like 5 children, the way some parents have to? Have you had to do menial jobs? Have you started a business from scratch with nothing and seen it fail or succeed? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yet you all want to ride Bentleys! Every Nigerian guy wants to get stupidly rich, but most are not even really bothered about the trying bit. I met a guy once who told me ‘I want to be a billionare by 40′. Fine, but did he have a blueprint on how to get there? No, yet he could confidently say ‘I will be rich, by hook or by crook’…is that supposed to trip me or something?
Take a leaf from Mola and Ovie’s book – they are a perfect example of a successful legitimate use of the internet.
If I were Maga Must & Go Pay, Lyone (aka Unknown) etc I will start thinking of an Exit Strategy, cos I tell you most of you are going to become House-Husbands in the future…Naija females are doing our thang…we are Hustling Right!!!
