A Nigerian variation of the bog-standard Stockholm syndrome. A condition simple to explain but difficult to understand.
Characteristics:
You worship the person who steals from you and berate those who try to expose the robbers.
Further Explanation:
(1) "We would rather kill the mouse in the house, than the cobra lurking in the corner" - Source KO
(2) "Even AFTER the mouse has been chased out of the house, they will continue beating it. Meanwhile the cobra would be making a comfortable nest in their house and inviting its friends over" - Source VA

Usage/practice of The 9ja-Stockholm syndrome:
A hungry man steals a politician's mobile phone and he is sentenced to 45 years hard labour; a crooked politician steal billions and he is let off with a slap on the wrist, given national honours and invited back into the corridors of power.
Politicians who steal billions are lauded by crowds lining the street while young men who steal a few pennies to feed their hungry families are lynched and/or burnt alive.

When someone is in a parasocial/one-sided relationship with a famous person (typically a celebrity or online personality).. and this famous person happens to exhibit toxic, abusive, or inappropriate behavior. The fan ignores their distasteful behavior and continues to support them.
Alternatively, maybe the fan is aware of what they're doing.. but they feel stuck in this one-sided relationship and it's hard for them to escape because of how attached they are.

I'm really into this guy.. but he also creeps me out sometimes. I feel like.. if I ever found out that he's actually a bad person that has done bad things, it would be really hard for me to detach myself from him.
The weirdest part? I don't even know him personally! He's a YouTuber. So why do I feel this way? It's like some form of.. parasocial stockholm syndrome that I'm experiencing or something. That's the only way I can describe it.

When a person of color, an immigrant from outside of Western Europe/North America, or someone who is both, adopts the lifestyle and aspirations of those countries while ignoring the historical contexts of oppression, theft, genocide, human trafficking and the current systemic prejudices built into those societies. The full syndrome is manifested when the afflicted person even defends these choices and, essentially, their current and/or former captors.
Afflicted person: I have everything that I need to integrate into this new world and I've adopted its Nationalist American and Western Eurocentric views
Non-afflicted person: You will never be accepted there and you are only buying into these pervasive ideas without any reflection on how these societies became the giants they are
Afflicted person: But these aspirations, and even my preferences for the type of people I want to date and marry, are my own. I'm choosing of my own free will.
Non-afflicted person: No friend, you are a victim of Post Colonial Stockholm Syndrome

Mass Gamer Stockholm Syndrome, also known as MaGSS, is a psychological condition in which gamers will do anything to defend their favorite game or franchise. Gamers are 'taken hostage' by there games and defend the game to great extend, regardless of game quality. Games with pay 2 win and bugfested games are often being defended by their fanbase. Common sense will rarely work to change their minds.
Reasoning like "you can still unlock everything without spending money", "Skill is more important than spendings" or "it's not as bad as people say it is" are common.
Clearly buggy hitboxes in FPS games are often defended by saying things like "It's because your aim is off".
The psychological condition has strong ties to choise-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization.

Person 1: Dude, Battlefront 2 is so Pay 2 Win.
Victim: Dude, that's not pay 2 win. You can unlock everything ingame. The advantage you get is not that big, a good player without spending money will still beat a bad player who spend money.
Person 1: Dude, you are simply suffering from Mass Gamer Stockholm Syndrome.
Victim: I don't care, just gonna enjoy the game.

It is the condition in which one will complain about social media sites while continuing to use them pretty heavily. The most common social media site to inspire the condition is Facebook.
J: I hate facebook. I hate how it's just a government-spying-corporate-datamining-social-manipulation tool.
Q: Well, then why do you keep checking your news feed, J?
J: Sigh.
Q: Is it possible you've come down with a case of Social Media Stockholme Syndrome?

Band Room Stockholm Syndrome will cause you to become friends with anyone you sit near in an ensemble, no matter how much you loathe them. This may be applicable to other classes.
Man, I used to hate Stacy. Now that we sit next to each other in band, we're great friends! It's a tragic case of Band Room Stockholm Syndrome.
