US gossip site Radar Online yesterday scolded Mariah
Carey in an article posted on their site, saying she
shouldn't have accepted to do a gig in a country known
for 'terror, death and fraud'
Read the Radar Online article below:
Mariah Carey proudly posted a pic of herself in a slinky
yellow dress and wrote, “Backstage in Nigeria” on
Saturday. But maybe the songbird should have done
some homework before agreeing to the gig?
Her show was at Access Bank’s Christmas Party which
was also a farewell bash for the bank’s managing
director. And while Access Bank is a reputable financial
institution, should Carey have known a few basics about
the African nation before taking the paycheck?
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.”
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.
“Systemic corruption in the Nigeria Police Force” is the
problem, a HRW spokesperson told CNN.
Carey isn’t the first performer who has taken a
paycheck for appearing in countries known for terror,
death and fraud.
