"SEGUN WIRE" A PICTURE OF SMARTNESS
Few months ago a little boy of less than ten years gained fame on the Nigeria social media with a video where he declared that he wants to become an internet fraudster in the future. He is known by the name segun wire. Within two months the kid segun wire has become a celebrity. He was invited as a guest to one of the numerous graduation parties held in unilag recently.
During the infamous Abacha Junta i was in the primary school. The primary school where public school teachers were on strike sometimes for ten months or more. My parents are teachers too. Then ask any kid what he wants to become what you will hear from kids even in the worst ghetto is Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer and maybe a football star. No kid would ever think of anyrhing fraudulent.
The reason Segun wire a kid roughly eight years old will say he wants to become a Yahoo boy is simple, those guys are the only symbol of breakthrough that exist in most places in Nigeria today. They are the only ones who seem to be living a good life in his area. The little boy simply observed his environment and concluded that crime pays. Only people with some element of criminality seems to be making a headway in this country. He noticed that the bookworm and the religious only end up as private school teachers in some mushroom private schools where the salary is hardly enough to feed them for the first five days of the month.
The Yahoo boys are the ones with new cars, newPhone, new houses and the hottest Chics. Why would any sane kid want to go through the rigorous yet ineffective Nigeria education system for atleast sixteen years to end up as a jobless graduate hanging around newspaper stand at Oba-nla junction arguing about Chelsea and Man-United?
Music used to be another avenue for the children of the poor to get famous until the omo baba olowo's and the yahoo boys invaded that sector. Little wonder why most of the songs nowadays are filled with outright balderdash comparable only to the crazy mumbling of a marijuana addict.
Football was also another means to glory until it was also politicised. Rashidi Yekini the most potent striker Nigeria ever had was at a time a road side mechanic yet he reached the top. Today politicians give coaches bribe for their kids or relative to be included in the national team. If you have ever wondered why the super Eagles play with laxity now you have the answers.
Segun wire simply expressed the aspiration of most kids in Nigeria. They have discover that the only language Nigerian understand is money. Money gotten from anywhere through any means. We have a new culture, it is the culture of "Oga, show us the money"
In the nigeria Pentecostal church money is the only interpretation of divine blessing any man without money is not blessed . we use to be a people with a culture that reward excellence and honesty until we began to gradually change .
Segun Wire is the future of Nigeria, he does not want to study medicine for eight years and end up in an hospital where there is no drugs. He doesn't want to end up in the academia where the school will be on strike for most part of the year.
Why should Segun embrace music where only the children of the rich and the cyber punks now hold sway. Segun is a smart boy, very smart boy he has cast his lot to the surest way for the children of the extremely poor to become miraculous wealthy. Yahoo yahoo in a hopelessly disorganized Nigeria. He has made the right choice.

Haa! As old as u are, an implied statement is a problem to u?

Op what a wonderful moral revival write-up you have here. The psychological undertone of the decision of segun is far too enormous, exposing the political and social and cultural degradiation we are befuddled with.

The government should work with G-boys to recover stolen funds instead of arresting us.

Na why we dey run go Malay, Togo, GH, and other countries. because they govt there no dey disturb us.

All thanks to Enugu & Owerre govt too for curtailing their police from disturbing boys wey dey hustle. We reinvest in the economy by spending in those states wey dem no dey disturb boys.

Ordinary light and network no dey this country and una get mouth to call G-boys una major problem?

Country wey dem go use DSS carry a whole SAN without due process. That one na country?!

Well, make una dey complain make boys dey make serious bar. Even if the po-po cramps you all u gotta do is pay royalties.

We dey see serious stacks. No traces. And we work harder than 95% of all our broke mates combined.

I don't buy lappy for my all my brothers even the ones wey dey JSS.

The earlier the better because like Obasanjo and other leaders said, "Corruption cannot be eradicated from this country" [except it divides (sic) ]
