"Harsh living conditions pushes youths into fraud" – Vector

Nigerian rapper, Vector has revealed that the harsh conditions in the country causes the youths into fraud and other illegal activities.

He made this known while speaking at the maiden edition of Street Voices, a youth advocacy event held at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos.

According to Vector, the Federal Government needs to play its role in such a way that the youths can make better and informed choices in the interview at age.

He said:

“The youths need to adopt good mentors, rather than those who will lure them into fraudulent activities. The Internet age should afford the youths an opportunity to make better and informed choices. But the Federal Government must play its own role also. I see an advocacy group like Street Voices as a forum to lend their voices to critical issues affecting the youth and the Nigerian society as a whole” he said.

His words are coming on the hills of an advice from the Acting chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu who said youths should desist from Yahoo Yahoo.

“I am emphasising to you on the need to desist from cyber crimes. If you are found to be in possession of fraudulent documents, you have committed a criminal offence which has a great consequence.” The EFCC boss informed the students that the Commission has special powers to cause investigations into anyone or corporate body, suspected to have participated in economic and financial crimes.”
