Afro-beat musician, Seun Kuti, has urged youths into gambling to wean themselves off the act and embrace internet fraud, better known as Yahoo Yahoo.
Seun gave this a advice in a viral video of his, in which he alleged that gambling is designed by the white to exploit African youths, adding that instead of being in the receiving end of the said scheme, they should take into internet fraud.
His word, “I’ll never be the one to say, ‘you’re a bad person for gambling’. But I’m begging young African people. See your greatness ehn, doesn’t lie in all these gambling.
“Yes, they’ve made you feel like if you don’t own anything, if you cannot afford certain things, women won’t look at your face. You too that you are a woman, you won’t be able to attract a good man and all that.
“Yes, I understand, but not by gambling. Because in gambling, you’ve already lost. That’s a set up. You’ve lost already. Do the one that you’re in control.
“I prefer ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ to gambling, I swear. Do ‘Yahoo Yahoo’. Do ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ dey go rather than gambling; please.
“Just the way alcohol isn’t our life in Africa but nobody will say anything about alcohol. They’ll keep shouting ‘igbo igbo’ (weed). Why? Because, it’s the whites that make alcohol, finish.
“When we were young the same pastors, people that said gambling was bad, they are now the ones doing endorsement for gambling all over the place. Because gambling is now a white man business.
“All these gambling firms you’re seeing, they are white men businesses. There to extract the little that we have in our pockets. All the gambling platforms, selling you false hope.”
