I didn't want to write this and post it but I was pressed and burdened to do it, may be because as light we must shine. I am afraid and getting more afraid because the society has lost some values and yet still losing more. Am afraid because I do not know what would be acceptable in our society by the time the children of now become the elders tomorrow. What am I saying? I think I have to be direct and not coin words, I have to break the silence before it gets too late, we have to start criticizing it before it becomes more endemic, for those who are not into it now are beginning to see reason(s) why it should not just come but come, welcomed and stay with us. A colleague said that it resulted from financial frustrations caused by dwindling economy of the nation, a brother said 'it is helpful to the economy', parents that suppose to discourage it are enjoying the proceed of it. But I want to say no matter how you try to alter the wrong it can only be alright and never be right and what is alright (according to this day use of words) is not as good as what is right. Moreover can any reason be good enough to justify what is wrong? Am not too sure! What am I talking about? It is that thing that has made our youths that are full of vision, mission, but making for provision in the evil way. When it first came, it was called Yahoo, later they called it Yahoo Yahoo. At a time we heard Yahoo plus, and a time came it was called Yahoo plus plus. Whatever name given to it now I don't know because some respected persons in the society are into it silently. Check our streets, they they are filled with young persons with desires to use latest phones, buy cars, buy or build houses, flaunt material possessions, go to clubs, date facially beautiful girls no more but less because I do not think they can achieve more. 
 This write-up is bore out of need to make clear difference between what is wrong and what is right, between the bad and that which is good, what is alright from that which is actually right. 
Come to think of it, like an article titled 'Tapping is a Game', is YAHOO Good? Look at it very well, you will see a lot of embedded evil in it.
 Let's start thus, who can officially introduce himself as yahoo boy? It is either assumed or deduced from their way of living. They all know is not good and that is why they can't come out and say this is what we do for living. 
 Let's be frank, yahoo is stealing, modernized 419. they defraud not only the white people but their country men also, they ask people to send recharge cards, they also carry out unauthorized withdrawal of money from people's account and claim it is the revenge of what the whites have done for our grand fathers. 
 Children do not have respect for elders and students do not have for teachers because of yahoo, in fact, some don't see reason(s) for formal education because yahoo will bring quick money and in no distance time some of them will be vying for political post, no wonder we are blessed with natural resources yet poor because we lack human resources to exploit the natural resources.
 Furthermore, a lot of girls are missing and never to be found again, a lot of parents are dead for rituals, some had turned to dogs, some eat feces, no wonder some concluded that nothing like yahoo again but rituals.
Pages of books will not contain 'whys' yahoo should urgently be criticized.
Sane and sound people in the society that love to see peaceful future should begin  to Speak against it NOW.
If your eyes are opened to see that Yahoo is Bad then let's begin to Voice Against Yahoo (VAY). Voice Against Yahoo is to Lampoon, Criticize and stand against it at all time.
