Criticism from abroad trailed Mariah Carey’s appearance in Lagos for the Access Bank End Of The Year bash, a US gossip site 'Radar Online' had some pretty interesting comments. Read the Radar Online article below...
Mariah Carey proudly posted a pic of herself in a slinky yellow dress and wrote, “Backstage in Nigeria” on Saturday. But maybe the songbird should have done some homework before agreeing to the gig?
Her show was at Access Bank’s Christmas Party which was also a farewell bash for the bank’s managing director. And while Access Bank is a reputable financial institution, should Carey have known a few basics about the African nation before taking the paycheck?Ironically — given that she was performing for bankers — it seems Carey wasn’t aware Nigeria is well-known as the center of the world’s email financial crimes! Nigeria is even part of the name — as in “Nigerian 419 Scams.”
we took liberty to paste a screen-shot of this:
As follow-up to this, criticisms have come from within Nigeria after logistics of the deal went public.
There are just some things that are not necessary- pure and simple.
It was reported by The National Enquirer that Mariah Carey’s trip to Nigeria cost Access Bank around the sum of N200million.
The bank’s outgoing MD, Aig Imokhuede had reportedly wanted the beautiful singer to sing for him in person, and the bank had decided to make his send-off grand by granting him his wish.
The sum is particularly extravagant, considering that the bank had just recently laid off 200 staff.
People please be the judge on this, of what relevance was the songstress's visit to our national life??
