ENTERTAINERS LEND VOICES AGAINST CYBER CRIME

 “We are pastors over unknown audiences, who are religiously looking up to us as entertainers. There is need to be cautious of our contents and lifestyles so as not to mislead the general public into cybercrime”, the famous comedian Chuks D General, said

“Role models in the entertainment industry are not telling their audience the true story behind their success. A lot of their followers are not seeing the work involved; they are misled by what they see and a lot of them are anxious to make it like these celebrities, they end up toeing the path of cybercrime as a quick access to making it to the top”, Ambassador Wahala also added

Penpushing further reports that, Ambassador Wahala,  noted that comedians can support the fight against cybercrime and corruption by developing contents that will speak to the conscience of the youth on the dangers of life on the fast lane, stressing, “entertainers can join hands with the Commission by taking the message down to the youths,” .

However, Mc Tagwaye, in his own admonition, said “I was a class room teacher for so many years in a remote school. I applied to many government institutions but no luck, before I discovered my passion for comedy’.

‘The breakthrough came when I started mimicking the President. Now I am recognized across the country and beyond as the comic version of the President. Nothing is impossible in life. If I can make it, you can,”

Penpushing also reports that the comedians also urged Nigerian youths to cooperate with the Commission by staying away from cybercrimes and embrace decent sources of livelihood.

Meanwhile, the trio recounted the stories of their humble beginnings and the rocky road to stardom, paved by hard work and perseverance, and also commended the Acting Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ibrahim Magu for his determination and passion to completely rid the country of corruption and for the successes so far recorded in the fight by the Commission.
