all jokes aside nigerians, you should try to stay alive and work towards more profitable ways of life. dont (essentially) kill yourselves, because you are mad your still poor, even if (some) people do like you, but dont pay for your stuff.

and all you googlers, try search engines that cater to nigeria, or is google ftw there, too?

Absolutely. Why not? Being Jamaican would be much more productive than the regular, Nigerian scammer.

I dealt with one, one time on craigslist when I was back home, and he said he’d kill me if I didn’t do as he said. I replied to him with picture of some decapitated Nigerians, and he never mailed me back.

[...] Apparently musicians who are upset about the rates of unauthorized file sharing in Nigeria chose to go on a hunger strike to protest such things. It’s really difficult to think of a worse, less productive idea. [...]

Sounds like one of those Nigerian scam emails.

So, apparently people in Africa are starving?

Is it really PC to do such a stunt?

unheard of “Yellow”: “I’ll starve for x days til you pay me x million for free!”

African: “We do that all the time mon’.”

Of course, he was “identified” as “Yellow King”, so it could be anyone, maybe some jPop artist?

It’s kinda like those PETA ads, “Hey, stop eating meat and we’ll stop showing pictures of nude women.”

All I can say is, pass me some more bacon and recommend me some torrents!

Let me get this straight. They are starving themselves to try to prevent piracy?

No one has even heard of those artists, the reason they are not making money is because they suck. I couldn’t find any of that guy’s music online.

This will be all fixed when Obama becomes President of the World. There will be no fat millionaire WHITE fokes allowed. All their money will be given to poor people of color and the Ultra Rich will rule. Don’t worry, be happy. Obama is God , just ask him !
