An American website,
Radar has heavily criticised
Mariah Carey for
performing in Nigeria over
the weekend. Mariah Carey who was in
Nigeria for the Access Bank
Christmas Party, had
claimed in a picture she
posted that she enjoyed
every bit of her stay in Nigeria. Mariah Carey
proudly posted a photo of
herself in a slinky yellow
dress and wrote,
“Backstage in Nigeria” Few hours after her post,
she was attacked by a
popular American site,
Radar Online, saying that
her visit was unreasonable
and for financial gains. According to the site,
Mariah performed for the
‘money men in Nigeria –
world’s centre of bank
fraud and human
trafficking. The bone of contention is,
Maria Carey should have
done some homework
before accepting the offer
of performing at Access
Bank’s Christmas Party. “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, the
site had queried. “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. “ the website
further reports. The publication generated
almost a 100 comments,
with majority of them
pouring blames on Maria
Carey and mocking Nigeria
