Lol. But you look like a thief which makes you a suspect, at the very least.
I can categorically tell you as a lawyer that there is police profiling which enables law enforcement agents to identify, stop and question humans based on their appearance, religion, social status or class and not necessarily based on scientific or intelligence knowledge.
This is perfectly legal and it is widely applied even in the United States before you start saying Nigeria, it has effectively helped to combat crime.
It then begs the question why would you want to LOOK like a thief, if you're not a thief?

Does profiling permit public image laundering?

Basher8583:
Still referring to me as young why spewing immaturity. I am an employer for your information.
Good for you. Make your living on social media. It's no one's business provided you appear responsible doing it. That includes how you present yourself else you will always be harrased by law enforcement when they feel like harassing you and nothing will happen .

Social media business is not a registered career and cannot fly as an excuse of income generation in the court of law.
Before you argue ignorantly with me show me where it's registered in Nigeria or internationally as a form or Labour.
You might as well say Yahoo Yahoo is also a form of social media business.


PS... If you want to reply me at all make it a matured one else don't even bother..

I give up.

If na politician, God punish am...

Chukwurah003:
Are you a criminal? How many of the suspects have come to your house to tell you they're innocent? Better be careful!

Great post, thanks for sharing.

studentofTruth:
Provided they're catching the real scammers, I have no problem whatsoever. But you and I should not judge by looks alone. EFCC should investigate and get tangible evidence first before starting this media trial. it makes no sense if these guys are innocent, and the had their image tarnished for no reason.

Thank you for saying what I didn't know how to say....
You just said exactly what I was struggling to say.
Thumbs up

Flickzvill:
hi noticed you on this platform you sound informed would like to get to know you.

Blood of Jesus!
Efcc done use another method to one trace me?
I didn't insult efcc oh, I already edited my post, I had no intention of insulting. Neither was I promoting illegality, I was only soliciting improved methods.

malvisguy212:
it baffled me how you guys defend this boys. everybody is innocent yet Yahoo is on the increase, seriously? gone are the days when you trick someone (419) of his hard earn money is a big crime. but nowadays, tricking someone is no big deal, oh ye stiff neck, you guys have made sin RAMPANT that it is no big deal to sin, preparing the way for the MAN OF SIN, THE SON OF PERDITION.
without you people, Bible prophecy would be wrong, but Alas it is Truth, indeed we are living in a generation without God. I chose to worship God and there ain't no quitting on me . don't you miss heaven sweet heart. please

I am not supporting internet robbery please.
Most Yahoo boys are not in Nigeria self.
I am saying that the efcc uses very unverifiable methods in pining down suspects.

Devgod:
What are the suspicious app's?

Lol...if you ask me, na who I go ask?

safarigirl:
That isn't their fault, it is the fault of Nigerians who can't be bothered to come up with such shows. Even the small Glider Ultimate Search that we were mamaging, what has become of it?

Voting can also be done with Globacom, it is Nigerians that are not patronizing their brands, MTN did not force anyone to use their network to vote, feel free to abandon the MTN Sim card and vote with globacom or Airtel.

Bet9ja will also take a major cut from the profit made on the show, as the lead sponsors, and that is Niherian owned company, so, what are we on about?

You see the negatives, I see the positives

Eeem, you are right.

studentofTruth:
Do you mean that freelancers, bloggers, forex traders, and other person working online is an internet fraudster?

Thanks for adding forex to the list...

Basher8583:
So says someone who lives her ENTIRE life on social media.
SHAME

Shame?
For living my life on social media you think I should be shamed?
I make a living on social media ... I am not ashame of it. I am ashamed that some young humans still don't understand this is a possibility.

safarigirl:
At least they are patronizing Nigerian brands like Innoson.

The show is being aired in Nigeria, so, they will employ a lot of Nigerians for the duration of the three months.

Not to mention, the tax being paid to Lagos State and the Nigerian government.

Well, DSTV is South African, we vote with Airtime from mainly MTN; another South African company...the voting done with other networks, DStv gets a larger share of the money. Then from all the billions they buy 1 SUV from innoson and give Lagos State government some money, it is still Nigerian money that is revolving, the profit goes to South Africa.

Oga find mat and goan sleep jare. Insta comedian ko! facebook comedian ni. mtchew Nonsense.

Obviously what to expect from an ignorant fellow

obowunmi:
If EFCC arrests all the boys, who will the women marry ?

Lolz

stanliwise:
As much as I agree to a large extent, don't paint the picture like you can spot criminals than them. Also the rise of this rift raft boys destroying our name that a guy like me is being denied jobs of freelancer and fiverr is a sad reality. You can't tell me that this irresponsible looking boys earn well from company which are not in delta to start with.

The bolded is the biggest issue with Nigeria.
We care more about looks than competence.
Does looking like a thief make you a thief?
The hood does not make the monk.

Basher8583:
So in other words he cannot do Yahoo Abi. Just like Naira Marley a musician was not into Yahoo. Abi.

See you can only speak for yourself. Is Instagram comedian a job?

You don't know Instagram comedian is a better job than 80% of jobs available in Nigeria?
If you don't know this, then you have no business having data in your device.

Basher8583:
You are very wrong. So you think EFCC just go busting Yahoo boys like that. They work with informants mostly those who find it difficult making it in the illicit trade and out of envy rat out on his colleagues.

Besides don't you think you will look to suspicious if you tint your car when you are not an albino? These are pointers that there's is something you want to hide

You do Rasta style hair and you expect to want free

You sag your jeans and you don't want to be treated as a suspect.

If you are responsible then you act responsible.

You see how a young Nigerian thinks?
I dey shame for you...
So people should get arrested for their hairstyle and the position of their trousers?
You think Nigeria is your church
Nigeria sorry

Dudeweedlmao:
They're not arresting freelancers, stop spreading fake news you fraudster.

A popular Instagram comedian was arrested last week, them call am Yahoo boy

stanliwise:
Sharap jare, just tell us you like yahoo. yen yen yen yen yen. Say this to their face now! Just stay at home and be typing rubbish.

We are not quarrelling yet, EFCC are not well informed in terms of IT, do you accept?

zibya:
Sister we hear you. If your boyfriend is a Yahoo boy, better advise him to change his line cos the EFCC don't give 2 figs about you gotta say. They have their mandate to put these boys away for a very long time

He keeps getting harassed, he is a Web Security personnel...
EFCC claims he has suspicious apps in his phones and laptop, it takes forever to explain to them that as a security personnel, he needs all these suspicious apps...

many times EFCC be arresting innocent freelance IT personnel as Yahoo boys.

If you look clean.
Have a nice car.
Have a laptop.
Have a top-notch phone.
You always have light at home.
Maybe as a guy you have a beautiful lady with you...

You have no argument, you are a Yahoo boy.

EFCC needs to be informed...

Cuz bloggers, web designers, developers, YouTubers, video editors, forex traders, Instagram influencers, freelancers, etc. they all have same packaging as stated above...


Modified: please I am not supporting or in any way excusing internet robbery and fraudulent activities.
I am soliciting that proper verifiable methods be implemented in the process of accusing someone to be a Yahoo boy. Dreadlocks, sagging of trousers, tattoos, flashy cars, expensive phones are not equal to internet fraud.

Dear Nigerians, it is not illegal to be rich below 40years, biko.

ur opinion thou,u reason like a fish

No vex, but I think fishes think better than some people.

totit:
Can the boldned be proven without running round about like a headless-chicken when ask to prove so?

...the bolded is how you love to see human, u love us to be like headless chicken, so you can spill the blood of 'baboons'...my dear we are doing business and prospering, we are not looking for skulls

BeautifulMind2:
You are ignorant, there are super rich Igbo guys, Otedola is far below Arthur Eze, ABC Orjiako, Tony Enumelu, Benedict Peters, Emeka Offor, Obijackson and Austin Avuru

My brother these guys are 'poor' when you name real rich Igbo guys, these guys are just famous. If you decide to name 'super rich' Igbos, you will write list tire. If so many peeps are super rich amongst them, it means they are all equally 'rich', hence the non-existent rich Vs poor dichotomy

Kiaaa

Yorubas and Hausas will make up the list of 20 richest people in Nigeria, no Igbo will smell it.

Guess why?

...

The gap between the rich and poor in Igboland is almost nonexistent. In some other tribes there are very few super rich peeps, then the rest are poor, baggers, touts and slaves.

Meanwhile amongst the Igbos, everyone is averagely rich, they all strive for the top, no one wants to depend on the other.

Hence the Igbos might collectively be the richest tribe, but individually, they won't smell top 20.

Man City scored the highest number of goals in the premier League, but top 3 highest goal scorers, no single Man City player.

To me that's how a reasonable economy work. Instead of one Alhaji owing a massive estate with 700 buildings, in Ontisha you will see 700 4-storey buildings own by 700 different people.

The goal should be lifting of your brother, not enslaving them.

Neither of Messi and Ronaldo attended and you called the ceremony stars studded?

Beckham is bigger than both in terms of 'star' as per celebrity...it is a marriage not a final match

Through Omo Age?

zopaks:
Me too ..
I served in jigawa state, Babura LG not far from the porous Niger Republic border where you can trek easily to and fro Niger Republic without much interference.

Jigawa has one of the best tarred roads in the country ... Ten times better than that of katsina which is interlinked with jigawa state by road network.

The orientation camp was nearing completion when we served in 2011.

Honestly Sule Lamido did great in terms of infrastructural development of Jigawa state as a whole

Sule Lamido is a good man.
I served at Dutse but na Gumel we camp
