For some weeks now, there has been an intense argument about Yahoo boys otherwise known as internet fraudsters and how the occupation has become one of the most sought after jobs for youths and some music stars.
One of the sore points is that some “respected” celebrities endorse these fraudsters by claiming that they are only trying to make a living “hustle.”
In the heat of this controversial topic, Seun Kuti who has always taken a stand over topical issues said that the Yahoo boy is the legitimate child of the political and business elite.

The Afrobeat singer stressed that all Nigerian criminals should be stigmatized and not just the internet fraudsters, (yahoo boys.)
Like his fearless Afrobeat legend father, Seun Kuti urged everyone to “go after the people creating the criminality!! Politicians and bankers and oil workers”.
In a lengthy post, Seun wrote;
“The yahoo boy is the legitimate child of the political and business elite. Our ability as Nigerians to pick and choose wat criminals to hate and what criminals to jump and dance for is the reason we can’t develop especially when the criminals we shuck and jive for are the real DEVILS!!
“STIGMATIZE ALL NIGERIAN CRIMINALS NOT JUST THE YAHOO BOY!!
“Now you will make these oppressors use the people as an excuse to oppress the people. When police starts harassing all young people, na una go shout END SARS!!!
“I won’t let these people create an atmosphere where there harassment of young people will become acceptable!!
“Let’s go after the people creating the criminality!! Politicians and bankers and oil workers ROB ALL OF US EVERYDAY!! EVERY EFFING DAY. WE ARE ALL VICTIMS.
“… Why is this conversation hard to start. UNA DEY FEAR?”
