Nigerian music act Falz has slammed the Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who said that yahoo boys are role models in modern-day society.
Allnews had earlier reported how Diezani, while delivering a lecture at a virtual event organized by the Ijaw National Development Group, warned that the new trend ‘Yahoo-Yahoo’ is a travesty of an unfolding tragedy for Nigeria, adding that only hard work could guarantee success.
“The ones that have swag, the Yahoo Yahoo boys as my son would say; these, in short, are the role models they are looking at. These are the ones that reinforce negative societal norms and values,” Diezani said.
Reacting, Falz took to his Instagram handle, shared a screenshot of her remark on a news website, with the caption “You are on the run, but your mouth still dey run. Who be Yahoo Yahoo girl if no be you ?”
It will be recalled that The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in November 2018, filed 13 counts of money laundering accusing Diezani of unlawfully taking into her possession, the sums of $39.7m (about N14.29bn) and N3.32bn when she reasonably ought to have known that the money formed part of the proceeds of unlawful activities
