But las las after money drop guy man blocked me on WhatsApp and stopped picking my call smh
I almost died that week but i said to myself you can't die like this their is more to life.

Instead of them to go after the real criminals that put this country in this mess they are here arresting boys that went into yahoo because of what the society throw at us, a lot of us do not want to end this way,they wanted to graduate get a nice job and make their family proud.


After all the stress in school they where able to graduate family is happy everyone is now looking up to you to take over as the bread winner.

You start looking for work 2years three years no work family on your neck no financial support to start from somewhere, your mates are doing fine driving nice cars.

Boom you come across an old friend that is doing fine both of you exchange contact and started chatting,he ask you what you're doing.you started telling how you've toiled day and night but nothing to show for it he then introduce you to his business called yahoo.
Why you no go do


No hope for our kids in this country
Wetin local man don see for this country dey give me sleepless night
Let's take our future into our hands the time is now or never.
SAY NO TO SCAM!
HUSTLE LEGIT E GO SURE FOR US SOMEDAY.
