Yahoo Yahoo was written by Ezinne and published on wakabobo.com

I was very boring in my Uni. days. I think I still am sef. I never really engaged in anything in exciting. I always went my way and shied off from everything. My Uni. life remained uneventful until I moved into a new area in my final year. Not that things sparked for me, but I got a vintage perspective to the life of those living it up.

I had these neighbors, next door neighbors. They were ordinary like me, but not for too long. Soon their lives changed and they joined the “big league”.

Living next to them gave me a first hand expose’ into the life of “boys in the game”. My lovely once-upon-a-time average boys became overnight millionaires, living the life of exuberance that comes with it; abundance of drugs, women, cars, bling-bling. Of course as soon as they “stepped up”, they became long-term hotel residents who only came around the accommodation their parents paid for when they want to pick something or MAGA never pay.

Yahoo Yahoo- That was almost a decade ago. As it turns out, those my boys are still flamboyant today. But their story is hardly without (a few) bad news. One of which is that a greater number of them never graduated from the University. The little fraction that did graduated with very weak grades. But who cares, they are not exactly ever going on job hunting. More bad news is that most picked up drug habits (addictions), expensive tastes and a sizeable pool of enemies(with Law enforcement agents making up a fine number in this pool). All these are difficult to disentangle from, so they may have to live with it for the rest of their life.


But who cares, they have already chosen the high road, whatever that comes out of it is fine for them.
But the (mis)dealings of fraudsters(let me call them what they are) is nothing new. Igbos have an adage that says “if a poor man is told what it takes to be rich, they would choose to remain poor”.

There is a point in the life of an individual, a people or a society when they are deep down in the abyss of lack, in desperation, they resort to something brute to propel them to success. Any form of brute they resort to, usually involves illegitimate, immoral, inhuman exploitation of others. It’s important to state that some resort to hard work though, admirably.

You will be shocked how most big men truly made their money. Well, we may not be too shocked given that many people pride what should be a shame these days. Some say America is a house built by slaves, a very pretty house I must add. History has it that Banks in England funded slave voyages, as slave trade was a lucrative venture then. The slaves were seen as merchandise for trade, without a perspective of them as victims. Victims whose life was being destroyed.


Almost in the same vein a 24 year old fraudster never sees his MAGA as a victim. He enjoys the receipts from the victims as an abundance they have to spare. Never as something their life depends on. Never something their life would be wretched if it is lost.

In the same vein a serving official would divert money appropriated for the people. Seeing the monies they loot as a chunk from the abundance of an oil-rich nation. Never from the perspective that the fund being diverted would mean that some child, somewhere would be deprived of the opportunity of getting quality education, quality healthcare. It could also mean non-development of structures and infrastructure, lack of funds for projects, research, and different forms of development etc. It’s never seen that way. All the predicator focuses on is the windfall they will reap.

To think that a 23 yr-old boy can make N3million from “one hit” and burn it all within a matter of days or hours. Also, politicians would amass so much wealth, but few years down the line, the fortune disappears without as much as leaving dew behind. People win millions of naira in lottery and grow (back) broke within a disappointingly short period of time.

But these are the not-so-smart ones. The smart ones invest from money profited off windfalls. They go “legit”, washing their hands clean of the dirty they built from and disassociating themselves from every reference to it. Unfortunately, the society looks away, and joins in the celebration of their transformation, never demanding for an atonement for the atrocities committed before their transformation.

One big irony is that sometimes, the traits that propel them to success will be the same traits that hold them back from breaking higher ground. Those who succeed in illicit trades are known to be impulsive, defiant and ever ready to kill or maim. While it takes discipline, patience, loyalty, diligence to succeed in legitimate businesses. Only very few people are able to refine themselves by weeding off the former and imbibing the latter. Those who are successfully able to do so rise up to lead empires, become godfathers who dictate what stays and what goes in a society. People who make and unmake generations. People others look up to for justice.
And we wonder why our society is broken today when we celebrate prosperity drenched in blood, pain and agony of others.


Gain made off the pain and sorrow of another can never be justified, regardless of whether it has been institutionalized or has become a culture, in whatever form in appears; fraud, corruption, slavery, etc. It only creates a cycle that traps the predictor eventually. No one escapes the vapour of the water they steamed. Our reputation in the international front already bears the brut. With consequences that is hard to escape and even harder to redeem.

To amass wealth is to stick your hand in dirty things.

No man on Forbes 500 has made his money absolutely legit without doing a few "wuru-wuru".

So we should stop overflogging internet fraud.

I like ur last paragraph. the west create civil war in Africa just to keep tapping resources like tantallum, Cobalt , uranium etc. this is what people do. they make gain from your pain.

what really bothers me is the fact that no one is talking about the rot in our banking system, or how do these g boys collect their money without alarming effcc and avoiding all the barriers in place. am sure the banks really have a big part to play in this.

I don't fancy gboys though, you hustle (steal) money , only to spend it on hoes and expensive hotels. what a waste

SAMBARRY:
Yahoo is just a minor angle to the moral,intellectual and financial poverty in Nigeria and I don't see it stopping anytime soon

These kids don't want to go to school anymore and the educational system is making schooling more unappealing for them

They see people graduate without jobs so they reason, what's the Essence of going through the rigors of school and jobs aren't guaranteed

I've seen a 14 year old child who the mom handed to another yahoo guy as a guardian and mentor to mentor him in the yahoo business and just one click the little boy exploded massively and the boy is just partying everywhere, school is not even in his agenda and the last I heard of him is he has built hotel and a house for his mom however his dad didn't collect a dime from him because he was not in support of his dirty money

Without justifying yahoo, there's a point poverty and hunger will push you to that you will discard every form of morality and decency. I'm talking about the kind of hunger that your mother is dying and you don't even have 100 naira to buy any drug talk more of food

When I see the background and pain these yahoo boys have gone through, the stinking squalor, I don't blame them when their last resort is yahoo. No one is ready to b

I'm only being real here.

No one stacks billions legitimately. Read real books, not all those fake Brian Tracy and John C Maxwell straight-out-of-fantasy land books.

You can make money legitimately. No lies.

But to gather wealth? To be at the top? The least you could do is bribery.

Luminee:


They call dem pickers, every yahoo boy has a banker they call pickers. They pay them their percentage and the rest is history
