  • The Nigerian Cyber Fraudsters (Yahoo Boys) and Hip Hop Artists
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PhilPapers VOLUME 19, ISSUE 2, PAGES 63–80 (2018) Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law & Society E-ISSN 2332-886X Available online at https://scholasticahq.com/criminology-criminal-justice-law-society/ Birds of a Feather Flock Together: The Nigerian Cyber Fraudsters (Yahoo Boys) and Hip Hop Artists Suleman Lazarus Independent Researcher. A B S T R A C T A N D A R T I C L E I N F O R M A T I O N This study sets out to examine the ways Nigerian cyber-fraudsters (Yahoo-Boys) are represented in hip-hop music. The empirical basis of this article is lyrics from 18 hip-hop artists, which were subjected to a directed approach to qualitative content analysis and coded based on the moral disengagement mechanisms proposed by Bandura (1999). While results revealed that the ethics of Yahoo-Boys, as expressed by musicians, embody a range of moral disengagement mechanisms, they also shed light on the motives for the Nigerian cybercriminals' actions. Further analysis revealed additional findings: “glamorization/de-glamorization of cyber-fraud” and “sex-roles-and-cultures”. Having operated within the constraint of what is currently available (a small sample size), this article has drawn attention to the notion that Yahoo-Boys and some musicians may be “birds of a feather.” Secondly, it has exposed a “hunter-and-antelope- relationship” between Yahoo-Boys and their victims. Thirdly, it has also highlighted that some ethos of law-abiding citizens is central to Yahoo-Boys’ moral enterprise.

  • An Appraisal of the State of Professional Songwriting
    AN APPRAISAL OF THE STATE OF PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITING ON THE NIGERIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction Nelson (2010), making reference to a Music quote by Henry Giles, mentioned that “A song will outlive all sermons in the memory”. “Every song is like a painting”, Dale (2013) and every picture tells a story. Also, “Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty because Magical music never leaves the memory”, Beecham (2015). Songwriting may mean different things to different songwriters and at different times. Songwriting, like any other creative endeavor, can be meaningful in a variety of ways. So while there are some objective ways to determine “good” or “bad” when it comes to songwriting, it is also a creative space open to a myriad of options. “A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations”, Rivera, (2014). 1.1 Background to the Study The American Heritage Dictionary of English language, 5thEdition, (2013) defines a songwriter as one who writes lyrics or tunes (or both). They are often referred to as ballad makers, tunesmiths, composers - someone who writes the lyrics and usually the Music of Songs. To some extent a songwriter is much like a storyteller and the listeners are his captive audience. Most songs revolve around a central theme such as love, friendship, struggle, triumph, or other forms of experiences, etc. Every song tells a different story while each song usually contains an atom or 1 atoms of uniqueness which makes them differ from the works of other composers and songwriters.

  • Globalisation and the Cultural/Creative Industries: an Assessment of Nigeria’S Position in the Global Space
    Globalisation and the Cultural/Creative Industries: An Assessment of Nigeria’s Position in the Global Space Temitope Opeyemi Falade School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University Abstract This study provides an assessment of globalisation and its impacts on top performing creative industries in Nigeria. The prospects and contributions of the Nigerian film, music and fashion industries to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) were highlighted in a bid to position Nigeria in the global creative space. The study adopted cognitive capitalism as its theoretical framework, and the role of culture as the major product of cognitive capitalism were explored as solutions for developing the Nigerian creative space. Empirical studies by leading research organisations and relevant agencies focused on analysing the contributions of different sectors of the economy to national growth were reviewed. A review of secondary data indicate that the contributions of Nigeria’s creative industries to the global scale is on the rise. Factors that determine Nigeria’s role were obtained from secondary sources and were used to form the basis for the conclusions drawn by the study. Findings from the study indicate that the creative industries in Nigeria is viable, but there is a need for more Government support and the strengthening of the socio-political environment of the country in order to attract local and foreign investments. Problems of piracy need to be addressed using copyright laws that protect intellectual property within the Nigerian film and music industry while the fashion industry requires improved infrastructure for increasing the quantity of products accessible to potential buyers and investors.

    November 04, 2019 Unity Bank Towers Unity Bank Plc, Plot 42, Ahmed Onibudo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos Head Office Annex Plot 785, Herbert Macaulay Way, Central Business District, Abuja, FCT The Highlights CBN restriction on open market operations investments The CBN has barred individuals and local corporates from investing in open market operations at the primary market. This is in a bid to prevent banks from circumventing the mandatory 65% loan to deposit ratio. Banks have been reportedly engaging in arbitrage practices through lending to corporations and high net worth individuals, who then go and purchase treasury bills. The CBN’s move to bar corporates and individuals from purchasing T/Bills is likely to result in a sharp decline in T/bills yields in the secondary market, thereby reducing the appeal of collective investment schemes. The rates on secondary T/bill appear fictitious given the illiquidity in the market. In addition, due to the restriction, the only people that would have access to the OMO market are Foreign Portfolio Investors “hot money”. Hot money is not sustainable for the economy and it could fizzle out at the slightest volatility. The currency will remain vulnerable to external financing conditions as the CBN continues to rely on FPIs to trade in short term OMO bills for funding deficits in the current account and stabilizing the external sector. World Bank approves $3 billion loan for the power sector The World Bank has approved $3 billion to finance Nigeria’s power sector. The loan is expected to be disbursed in four tranches of $750 million each.
