M.I. Abaga Explains Why Teenage Criminality Is On The Rise

Nigerian rapper and record producer Jude Lemfani Abaga, better known as M.I Abaga, has explained why some youths resort to internet fraud, ritual killings, and other vices in order to survive.
In an interview with IT expert Olaniyi Ayoola in Abeokuta, the rap superstar addressed the stereotype that youths are lazy.

He argued it is erroneous to hold on to such a claim seeing the gross unemployment rate in the country.

Abaga said:

“The youths of Nigeria have been looking for jobs. For anyone to make a claim that they are lazy, the person must be able to look at the indices.

“You can’t just make that sort of conjecture without having the economic framework within which that’s true.

“If you look at the job market, you will see that there has been serious gross unemployment for a long time.”
