Yahoo Yahoo is a choice. If everybody considers how tough things are in this country, we for all be thieves. The hard work that goes into being a Yahoo Boy can be expended to create a legit hustle but you chose fraud.

You're just a criminal. Own it with your chest!

I once asked a woman how’s her son, cos I’ve not seen him in a long time. She replies “He’s doing ok. He’s doing Yahoo Yahoo now, when there’s no work again in the country. But we thank God”. I swear I did not make this up. We thank God?!

I won't lie, I know many Yahoo Boys and I've had my moments of depression, thinking about how they make so much money, ball so hard with no karma while I'm here struggling financially from my career. But I'm such a strong force myself. I really don't care about money that much

As long as being poor is a crime in Nigeria, as long as people are disrespected for being poor and told by the society they live in that: "If you no get money, hide your face", then we are joking about ending 'Yahoo-Yahoo' and corruption!

Back in 2014, I was dating a girl who came from a very good financial background,

I was about venturing into yahoo & sort of online scam!

Girl advised me not to, gave me solid reasons why I shouldn't.

Today, I proudly hawk my coffee,

And my ex is proudly dating a yahoo guy!

I don't think you people understand what makes this people go into yahoo.

Depression, poverty, government, responsibilities, peer pressure, hunger amongst others. Most of them don't do it because they want to. I've been in that position before during my school days.

I have three cousins that are into Yahoo Yahoo, they are big boys, have nice houses and drive exotic cars. Their parents are aware of what they do, and they support them.

But every yahoo yahoo boys and other people in illegal crimes should read 'Jeremiah 17:11'. It is important.

Doing Yahoo on its own takes bravery, courage and expertise. The country is so frustrating that this seems like the only option left for youths. The Government shouldn't be concerned about Yahoo guys but finding ways to create more jobs to accommodate the increasing population.

People are defending yahoo like the money comes from heaven... There are people, families and lives at the other getting affected directly or indirectly... Just because you are not on the receiving end is why you are ignorant.
