I read this article about how internet fraud and our music industry are intertwined.
Music and Fintech really need to work together to do something about it.
No matter how many brilliant technologies from all over the world we employ to tackle fraud, none can be more powerful than positive models discouraging young people from pursuing a life of cybercrime.

Don Jazzy, M.I Abaga, 2face Idibia (and) Ayeni Adekunle, we need your industry’s help here. When uncle Gbenga Sesan shot ‘Maga No Need Pay’ a few years back. That was a laudable attempt.
However, at the time we didn’t have viable alternatives to ‘yahoo yahoo’ for young people looking to earn a decent living from technology.
Today the case is different. There are several legitimate areas this talent can be pushed to and they can earn dollars with less stress.
Our music industry needs to be telling the stories of Prosper Prosper Otemuyiwa and Mark Essien and Moyinoluwa Adeyemi among several others.
ALSO: A message for Falz and the Yahoo Boys in the music industry
We need you to show young people that in 2017 there are more legitimate ways to be an internet millionaire than ‘wire wire’.
If we don’t work together to solve this cultural problem, we can’t really be a global player in technology. That’s just the fact.
I really want to commend Falz for being courageous enough to come out strong on this issue. Twale sir!
