The movie producer, lawyer and talent manager took to his social media page to express his concern about the rate at which cyber crime is praised in Nigeria. The movie producer agreed to having mixed feelings when he heard about the arrests of fast rising rappers Naira Marley and Zlatan Ibile. He first emphasized the fact that these arrests have made the rappers legends in our modern world, comparing them to the likes of Snoop Dog, Lil Wayne, James Brown and drug lord Pablo Escobar who had gone to jail at one point in their careers and were better off because of it.
He then clarified that these people however didn’t commit crimes that affected their nations, they committed what he called ‘personal crimes’ and didn’t ruin the reputation of their country because of it. He then emphasized that the crimes they were called in for was FRAUD and as such affects the whole country not just them.
He then concluded that we as a people and country should stop glorifying crime and re-strategize the war against crime in our country.
