It's not even an exaggeration per se.
51%-49% is a majority.

"From the data presented and correlated by that of the state, it's clear that large numbers of youths are engaged in this act. The age bracket involved in cybercrime is from 15 to less than 30 years, and prominent among them is dating scams, which is about 80 to 90 percent of the cybercrime activities in the state.

"Just as the state took the lead in tackling human trafficking five years ago, we are planning to attack cybercrime head-on and not to lose a whole generation of youths as we attack it from the root. Our youths are no longer interested in schooling. We are planning to attack the root cause.”

- Edo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwole Iyamu SAN

The State Attorney General says a large number of Edo youths engage in cybercrime. I've not seen any Niger state government official saying same about Niger state.

I am concerned. Cyber fraud and Yahoo culture are big issues. I am calling on everyone to please send as much information as you can to my office. On Monday, I am going to see the Chairman of EFCC. I am not condemning those involved. There must be a reason why that culture has become so prolific in Edo State

Even Obaseki the governor confirmed same.

[color=royalblue]He used Niger, because Disstroy used Edo. That was the beginning of the argument.

He did not say majority of the youths in Niger are into fraud. He said Niger is known for fraud than Edo, and posted a twitter link for us to read, And that was where Itsrm commented

You said majority of the youths in Edo state are into fraud.

Is this the same thing?[/color]

lol...

I've gone through the link he dropped and all they are saying is that Northern youths also do fraud like their southern counterparts( which is actually no news to me )

The original poster mentioned Minna specifically. He did exactly the same thing prospa did by assuming the number of Fraudsters resident in Minna are more than those in Edo state as a whole. And yet here u are hassling me saying I was using Benin sample size to represent Edo state population when I've constantly maintained I did not.

If u even read the thread further, u see other posters talking about Borno, Gombe , Kaduna etc. How do u rely on such anecdotal evidences? The fact that they are even talking about local scam mostly in the thread is even laughable. Do u know the amount of foreign scam pulled in Edo state, Delta state, Lagos state, Ogun state and Oyo state steady ? Most of the posters in that thread are talking about their personal experiences as either tech entrepreneurs, cyber security experts and IT professionals servicing Nigerian clients.

I already said my use of the word "Majority" of Edo Youths may be exaggeration on my part, but saying fraud in Niger state is higher than that of Edo state is an untrue statement.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Prosper posted a thread on how Niger could be higher than any state. I expected you to have gone through it, before pressing Edo's neck. And that was why i asked you to chill, but you wouldn't. The link is up there in his post

Even Itsrm had this to say[/color]



[color=royalblue]So Niger even has more signs that Abuja. Unbelievable

You no dey live for Niger. You no dey live for Edo, but somehow, a lot of youths there are into fraud.

No be argument you dey find like this?[/color]

Lol... U are premising ur argument on prospa who says " ask around "

The same prospa whom we both live in Lagos state ? For ur information I have friends at least 2 friends who reside in Niger state as we speak and I've not heard them mention anything like the Yahoo Yahoo pandemic in the south happening in Niger state.

I was not even trying to talk down on Edo but it is ridiculous for Prospa to be making a case for Edo by using Niger as the base state. E no gel at all

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I did not defend Benin.

I told you that a stereotyping a whole state is a lie.

If you know how big Edo is, you would know that the Yahoo wave is just in a very few cities.
[/color]

Do u know how big Niger state is ? Person tell u say Niger state has more Yahoo boys than Edo state because of FUTMINNA and Bida Polytechnic students doing yahoo; u no follow am drag.... Na me wey dey tell u say UNIBEN students, BIU students, Igbinedion university students, AAU students, Auchi Polytechnic students, other tertiary institutions' students scattered all over Edo state and those who not even in school are more than Niger state residents doing Yahoo u dey off cloth follow fight.

No be juju be that ?

afrodoc2:
Izzou sometimes likes to do debate training, the same way footballers and other athletes carry out training sessions.

If you ask him now to choose which state has more yahoo yahoo guys between Edo and Niger states he will likely choose Edo, but he feels the need to hit the debate treadmill with you right now. 😄

U get am 100%!

[color=royalblue]Benin...That's what you should say.

You cannot say the whole Edo state, and expect it sound as true.

Edo has a lot going on for it agriculturally.

Unless you have proof that it is the 90 year old women that are into farming, na still youths dey do am[/color]

He is in Benin and has a fair view of the state than me and u who are in Lagos. U just like to pick one or two words to sooth ur narrative anytime u dey the mood to do this ur " I no dey gree for anybody" arguments

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A large portion of youths in the 36 states are unemployed. So what do they do to keep body and soul together?

One of the signs that a place is inhabited by yahoo boys is how developments begin to come in; Apartments begin to rise, eateries, hotels, POS, clubs and bars; mostly businesses that are for leisure and relaxation.

If you know Edo state, you will know that apart from the few common towns, the rest na better village. So, how are the youths surviving there?

I still repeat that Edo does not start and end with Benin, Auchi and Ekpoma. You can use these towns to drag anywhere, and not Edo state.
[/color]

U just like to argue sha. I have mentioned 3 different towns in Edo state populated by Yahoo boys in large numbers; Ekpoma, Benin and Auchi. Someone else mentioned Okada.

Oya aside Bida and Minna, mention any other parts of Niger u know for a fact that Yahoo boys domicile .

I have told u most of Niger state youth are into petty trading, farming and fishing. U have only mentioned pineapple farming for Edo state.

Almost every fortnight EFCC post pictures of youth arrested in Edo state for Yahoo Yahoo on their official social media pages. How many Niger state indigenes have u seen posted like that ? I'm not even saying Edo state is the state with the highest number of fraudsters in the country, but u will be lying to urself saying Niger State has more Yahoo Yahoo boys than Edo state

izzou:
[color=royalblue]90% of the paw paw you eat na from Edo state

After Cotonou, Edo is our next plug for pineapples

Edo is known to be one of the furniture hubs of Nigeria. If you want good carvers, go Edo go find them.

Make nobody summarize Edo as Benin here.

That slander will not be tolerated[/color]

Pineapple kor , sponge bob square pants ni. Even Segedinho wey dey Benin go tell u truth if u ask am

Unlimited22:
This one wán comparé Minna and Suleja boys to my dons in Edo State.


Ekpoma alone go get more Pablos than Niger state as a whole. Usen, Uzairue and Okada sef is enough.

Don’t mind izzou make he dey whine himself

izzou:
[color=royalblue]No, sir. This is an exaggeration.

You are using only Minna to rate Niger, but you are not using only Benin for Edo. You are classifying the whole Edo together.

Who told you majority of the youths in Edo are into fraud?? Do you know how big Edo is?

You can rate Minna and Benin, instead of calling Edo state. Edo is not just Benin, Auchi and Ekpoma.

Biko[/color]

U should be asking those who use minna to judge Niger state as a whole . Proper referenced just Bida and Minna . Even the the Bida and Minna na only the students there he could label as fraudsters .

Maybe I exaggerated saying majority , but a large portion of the youth in Edo state are unemployed and that’s a fact. Now the next question is what do they do to keep body and soul together ? Your guess is as good as mine.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Until you visit both towns recently, you cannot really say

I know you are using the eye that Niger is big to underrate it, but Edo is big too, and it does not end in Benin, Auchi and Ekpoma.

I have my belief that Niger is not up to Edo, but until we know what Minna, Suleja and the rest looks like, we cannot conclude.[/color]

I'm not using eye test. I know majority of the youth in Edo state as a whole engage in Yahoo and other forms of get rich quick scheme and I also know majority of Niger state youth do not take the high way but farming, petty trading and the likes.

People wey no dey school for Edo state dey do Yahoo; people wey no dey school for Niger do not even own a desktop computer talk more of laptop to take "hustle" online. Because FUTMINNA students(who come from all parts of the country) engage in Yahoo does not mean Niger state has more Yahoo boys than Edo state. I know how big Edo is and I know most of the youth are unemployed hence they resort to Yahoo and other vices. There are enough communities in Niger state where their youth would rather starve as fishermen before they turn to Yahoo; same cannot be said of Edo state.

Baba just wanted to prove his loyalty. In church parlance they will say " do something crazy for the Lord "

iamoyindamola:
E be like it's not favouring him and his family

Most of them thought when Tinubu gets there he will give them grants and all. I remember when Jonathan was president he promised nollywood N3billion grants back then ; I’m not sure he fulfilled that promise .


So the Nollywood guys thought Tinubu being “ buje budanu “ will bless their ministry for real when he comes in as president . Unfortunately, person wey never even pay N35k he promised civil servants fully since he removed subsidy ; how he wan take reason nollywood ?

Aseju ni Olorun o fe.

The that that Olaiya Igwe did this video only shows he’s also not getting dividend of Tinubu’s presidency and worse still ; himself and the nollywood guys don’t have access to Tinubu since he got the top seat.

I told iamoyindamola that time when the man’s butt naked video at the beach trended that the man was doing it as payback for what Tinubu and his wife did for him when he was down sick . The man was just being loyal to the people who came through for him when he was down.

Personally I don’t hold any grudge against people like him . He was very honest from the onset about his basis for Tinubu’s support . Na people wey claim to be misled by him I blame .

KingTom:
Erigga no be he mate normally na

It’s even a big disrespect to mention erigga in the same sentence with shalippopi . I think most of these guys confuse being commercially successful with being a good musician/lyricist .

Like Emaprince posted up there , there are a whole lot of things shalipoppi’s music lacks that portrays him as one lucky guy ; zero talent, empty lyrics , non-existent word plays , just basic mumblings etc .

I understand tho ; Benin people will not gree to anything critical u say about the boy no matter how factual it may be . In due time tho , water will find its level . For now sha he still got the airwaves .

Berghain has been on my bucket list since I was maybe 15, but none of my current friends are on the scene, and I've switched social circles since my party monster heyday

I'm going to be at rolling loud in Austria this summer with my wife, and I may try to convince her to do an extra detour night in Berghain so we can try our luck at getting in - I'm not sure she'll agree though, given that she's the reason j switched out of those circles in the first place.

Regarding the coca question, welcome to Europe. It doesn't matter what you look like, if you're black and around the club scene at night, you would have been asked that at least once. Then again, I do kinda look like I'm holding drugs on a night out...and most times. I am...which I typically source by asking black people

😂😂😂😂

kingBolton:
Niger state is one of the biggest haven of fraudsters in the north central, Bida poly and FUT Minna student. I still don't think they are on the level of Edo state sha.

Ur last line is the only thing that matters.

It’s just like saying because Oyo state has Lautech where most of the students are Yahoo boys, then Oyo state has more Yahoo boys than Lagos state .

Lagos state that has LASU, UNILAG, LASPOTECH, YABATECH , and other tertiary institutions whose students are yahoo boys. Lagos where those not in school who reside in Lekki , Sangotedo , Alimosho , Agege , Ikorodu, Bariga , Ibeju , etc are mostly into yahoo ?

You should be comparing Edo with states in the south west and south south not Niger state

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao
You should ask OG's about Niger state and fraud then get back to me

Whatever u think u want to tell me about Niger state , I already know that’s why I asked how u always come up with all these ridiculous comparisons .

Like u mean the same Niger state that includes Minna , Bida , Jebba etc …. has more fraudsters than Edo state that has Benin, Ekpoma , Auchi ?

U dey whine ?

Did u people in Niger delta organize a meeting recently where u came to a resolution that u will no longer gree for any tag of any vice like fraud going forward or what ?

liveLongNprospa:
Between Edo and Niger, which is deep into fraud?

How do u always come up with this ridiculous comparison sef ? Edo and Niger state ?

iamoyindamola:
Will I offend some people if I say I don't even know this guy or come across his songs

I actually listen to shallipopi but like Segedinho said , na rubbish he dey sing . He’s just one of those artistes u listen to when u just want to high and just vibe .

U should prepare ur mind that u are not listening to the song for any word play , metaphor , deep lyrics , motivation ( except u are a yahoo boy sha ) , rhythmic flow , and every other thing that makes good music .

Just like Listening to D’prince “Take banana “ or Skailey mental’s “ meji loyan, Okan Loko “

The king is diagnosed of cancer and dem announce am publicly .

If na Nigeria now , Sahara reporters go report am and quote reliable source who craves anonymity , the president’s or governor’s spokesperson will issue statement labeling the news false, some people will believe the spokesperson while others will believe Sahara ….. until the person later dies in office .

raumdeuter:
If the neighbors didn't say something we will be the ones to blame them when issues happen

Na so people dey ask what Evans neighbors were looking at for years

Exactly . I’m all in for people speaking up when they notice anything unusual . The funny thing is the neighbors might think he’s a yahoo boy only for police to find out he’s an armed robber or kidnapper .

There’s nothing wrong in raising alarm when one notices there’s something unusual about the activities of a neighbor

GloriousGbola:
I think you are going overboard in the comparison. A guy working late a night staying in his house is not the same as seeing different vehicles bringing in differemt goods at odd hours. It is not the same as seeing suspicious looking visitors, or hearing strange sounds in the night.

Outside of close meeting, I don't relate with any of my neighbors. If someone needs help starting their car, someone has left his car out, someones gen is running when there is light - I can call them. But I don't mix with them.

At least one way or another u have/have had human interaction with them . What the narrated himself is a guy who stays at home all day and doesn’t relate at all with his neighbors in a private estate .

Na una dey disturb una self dey listen to APC government and their appointees .

Dangote wey get the refinery never come out tell una say fuel price will reduce ; it’s only government officials and their loyalists that are just raising una hopes through propaganda not backed by data .

GloriousGbola:
Not necessarily. It is the problem with sharing space with people on a lower financial level. The moment you do not share their hobbies, values or views you will be a target, one way or another. Particularly as a Nigerian matter where bitterness and bile have replaced blood for so many people.

Example most of the older festac closes are full or retirees. Those ones will be issuing decree that no one should use gen after 10pm.

Things you buy for yourself become oppression. Big TV. Nice car. Do not underestimate the power of bad belle.

What u are narrating differs from what happened to this particular guy. The guy lives in an estate where he's most likely on the same financial level with his neighbors. He motioned how he does relate with any of his neighbors.

They obviously profiled him as a yahoo boy cos of his young age and the level of his financial capability. He could've actually been a yahoo boy & a ritualist.

The good thing is the police didn't arrest him on suspicion, they confirmed he wasn't a yahoo boy or ritualist and they let him be.

[color=royalblue]Nigeria complained of importing refined fuel.

They built a refinery, then switched from importing refined fuel to the raw crude.

Las las, Importation was sustained.

Now, na International market forces go determine the price of fuel wey we refine. The one wey e determine, we never recover[/color]

APC= All Promises Cancelled!

GloriousGbola:
But that is the problem. There are a lot of people who are working from home. I work from home for instance. And it is always in my mind that some ediat somewhere will report me to police as a yahoo man. And of course the police do not actually give a fk if I am a yahoo guy or not. They want me to be a yahoo guy so they can shake me down without consequence.

Though it may not even be the neighbors.it could be a friend or acquaintance, like those lastma dogs that sicc lastma on to you in traffic.

The good thing is the police didn't find anything incriminating on the guy and they let him be without taking a pin from him.

I understand where iamoyindamola is coming from and I think he has a point when we take the recent explosion in Ibadan into consideration. Almost all the residents interviewed by press men said they usually see the occupants of the building bring home explosives but they never raised an alarm . Perhaps if they had raised alarm, they wouldn't be homeless today.

As for the software engineer who was shaken down by the police on the suspicion of his neighbors; it's obvious the guy moved into a neighborhood that is predominantly occupied by working class people who are majorly on-site workers. He didn't do himself favors by alienating himself from his Neighbours thereby making it difficult for anybody to know exactly what he does. The neighbors reporting their suspicion about him to the police is definitely their own way of watching out for themselves.
