You’re talking nonsense here.
It is not my fault that you are too dumb to understand my post.
There are two things common to Yahoo boys, low intelligence and envy.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Chairman Ibrahim Magu has admonished Nigerian Youths to grow in doing legitimate businesses instead of blowing "inordinate/questionable sudden wealth" in doing illegitimate business.

I was 16 at the time. Physics teacher deviated from his discussion on a boring topic which was losing the class and went into polictics.

I remember him clearly asking how many kids would steal if given the opportunity in government. The class came alive!

"No time to say no time", "no dulling", "sharp guy, sharp-ist" was what was ecohing across the class.

Even as a 16 year old then, i felt something in my spirit saying there was no hope for this country.

No body wants to grow ....an 18 years old girl wants to carry a hand bag she saw with a 50yrs old woman or fix the latest Nwanneka hair thanks to Instagram......an undergraduate wants to drive the latest Benz.....guys are balling indeed....May God help us

There is really nothing wrong in an 18 years girl desiring to carry a lovely handbag she saw with an old woman of 50. If it takes 35 years to acquire that it doesn't mean the girl of 18 years should wait till gets 50 before having her dream bag or fix the latest hair.

Everyone wants good life and undergraduates inclusive. If undergraduate desire to drive the latest Benz, its no crime.

However, they should have a legitimate means of acquiring all that they desire.

The owner of Facebook is roughly 35 or so but has acquired so much wealth that people of over 50 haven't.

And indeed, Mark might be hammering by selling might have sold people's data.

Live is a two side of a coin.

But I will always admonish everyone to do a legitimate businesses.

Oga, values is what we are talking about.

Families, communities, schools and religious organisations are more culpable. Please, keep government at the corner first.

Job creation has nothing to do with this.

You think I am not making sense?

Ok, wait. Why are people who are gainfully employed still involved in fraud, theft and corruption? Including people in politics, generals in the military, top executives of oil and gas, banking, telecommunication, manufacturing companies etc.

Tell me why? Is it because they do not have jobs or earn well?

Why can't the government create jobs of $600 ie ₦200k every month. What can ₦30k do for you in Nigeria, feeding alone will gulp that money in a month depending on where you live sha, but major cities in Nigeria that money is insignificant.

I BLAME NOT THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE RECENT INCREASE IN CRIME AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA. THE GOVERNMENT ALL OVER THE WORLD NEVER HAS THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE AT MIND.

WHO DO I BLAME? THE RELIGIOUS BODIES. A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULACE HAS AN AFFILIATION TO A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION. ON FRIDAYS OUR MUSLIMS BROTHERS GO TO MOSQUES IN THE SAME VEIN, THE CHRISTIANS ON SUNDAY DO CHURCH.

OUR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN RECENT HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PROSPERITY WITHOUT WORKING, SUCCESS WITHOUT SACRIFICE, WHICH IS IN SHARP CONTRAST FROM THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST OR MOHAMMED.

AS LONG YOU BRING IN MONEY TO INTO THE COFFERS OF THE RELIGIOUS BODIES; YOU'RE BLESSED; WHICHEVER WAY YOU GET THE MONEY ISN'T THE ISSUE TO BE GIVING A THOUGHT.
yes, but parents are to blame as well, parents used to care about where their kids are getting money from b4, now nobody cares anymore, just bring money, omo to mowo dele, lobi a yin. Even the girls are much mannerless nowadays, they force many guys into bad decisions to get money.

First of all, government is not in the business of employing people.
Your post just shows that envy and jealousy is the root cause of internet fraud.

There is no rule against flaunting wealth.
If Dino doesn't flaunt his wealth, Davido, Psquare or even Mayweather would.
What would you do about, go to their house to lynch them because they flaunt their wealth?

How about we all sell our cars and start trekking so Yahoo boys can be happy that everyone is equal?

The greedy fraudsters are thriving because Nigeria is too soft on them.
Trust me, if the government is ready, most fraudsters will flee from Nigeria.

They are not the first set of youths. Even students who schooled in extreme poverty
back in the day did not become criminals to live above their means.
There are a lot of artisan skills they can learn quickly to start making money.
We have carpenters, bricklayers, drivers, and roadside mechanics that this "unemployed"
youths can emulate.

EFCC is just scratching the surface, the day of the Yahoo boys are coming.
First of all government is in the business of creating jobs. In a country like the US the government claim credit when the unemployment % drops in fact it is widely use in campaigns, unlike in Nigeria when you know you just have to rig elections without having nothing to show. You can equally buy the judges in the court to uphold your rigging... Crime is crime it doesn't matter who commits the crime. You cannot come and tell the youth crime doesn't pay when we have ppl that have looted the country and still looting the country walk freely and enjoy their loot. The greedy politicians are thriving because Nigerian is too soft for them trust me if the ppl are ready to stand up to politicians the way they do in outside country most of them will run. If only you can channel this hate and energy to the ones who are stealing the future of every Nigerians. It is morally wrong to be selective when fighting crime. In your post it is clear you don't have problems with looting politicians but yahoo boys.

While your points seems valid, I want you to understand that every cause has an effect. if one sees his parents following the norms all their lives and the system ensures that the just don't get anywhere, while politicians steals in billions and are being celebrated, why will you want to follow the path of your parents?

if you are a soldier or a police man and you see older colleagues who have retired begging for their retirement package while some died in the process, and somebody somewhere steals their money with a smile, wouldn't you think twice?

If you finished in your department as the best graduating student and you were given 10k, while someone acts porn on live TV in form of BBNaija and was given 60 million naira, wouldn't you think twice?

If you applied for a job and pass all the requirements but someone who didn't apply got the job, wouldn't you think twice?

I don't do crime. But I don't care about anybody who does (except you end up kidnapping or killing innocent people who are probably hustling for their own needs) unless the system changes.

Somebody finished school at 32 and with 2:2, you shut him out that he cannot get employment. Obviously, he must fill the gap somehow. Somebody is going to school and seeing his brother and some older colleagues who left school when he entered year one roaming the streets. He will automatically connect the dots.

Do you know the world richest men grew through basis amenities.. For example, if there was no good schools people like mark & gate wouldn't discover their hidden talents. Don't get me wrong i know they dropped out but let's check their grassroots... Before magu says things like this i think he should first of all look at the current situation im the country and judge his boss for adding more to the sufferings.
A view of the unemployment rate in the country...
Now tell me why these youths wouldn't like to blow instead of growing.

It is because we do not have a system that truly punish crime without been selective.
If a politician steal and he is sentence to death or 50 years jail term and the rest politicians see that you cannot enjoy your loot after stealing, what do you think they will do? In US for instance if you park wrongly they will tow ur car and you will pay fine for every day the car stays at their office. So automatically you will see ppl trying to avoid parking wrongly. If you bypass electricity and you are caught you pay heavily and can even do jail time..so automatically you see ppl avoiding bypass... If you disobey traffic laws and you are caught you pay heavily so you see ppl trying to obey the laws... The next time you visit the country you see everybody trying to avoid breaking the law.
