I prefer ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ to gambling – Seun Kuti

Controversial Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti has declared his preference for internet fraud aka ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ over betting aka gambling.

The Egypt 80 band leader in a video begged African youths to stop gambling and engage in ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ instead.

Kuti alleged it’s a scheme formulated by the whites to sell false hope and milk them of their little resources.

Big Bird stressing on his preference for internet fraud over gambling, argued the former is a lost course from the get-go.

Making case for his preference still, Seun noted ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ can be control unlike gambling where the people are at the mercy of scheme.

He said: “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.”
