Lol your own self is good. A foolish boy met me in church, introduce himself and said he just started this church, bla bla bla. We exchanged number, one funny day he called me and asked me if I know how to do something on iPhone. I was confused because I never introduced myself as a phone technician and I have always been a Samsung dude.
Again,he tried different way to communicate more with me but I just cut him off because his personality, hair style isn't my way. Even if I dey do yahoo, that kind person go cast me.

One night that was how I got a message asking how I am and at the ending he wrote "God bless my 10 finger".
I quickly put him in his place and blocked him. I never saw that dude again in church, I am sure the shame of my reply and blocking affect am.

So Op when you look good,fresh, young and drive a good car. That is the first thing most people assume.
I no even day send them again....

maishai01:
Na wa.

This one everyone is forming good boy here.

I don't think people can be that daft to tag u a geeboy simply because you look good.

Usually there are other signs that give u away.

For instance you know someone who's father is not Dangote or Otedola, yet drives a 2022 lexus Jeep and tell me it's 'online work' or 'freelancing' or some s**t like that.

Abeg make i hear word!!

Thankfully, I carry like 3 years bank statements following me everywhere. Na dollars I dey earn. I just dey help una dey this lagoon

It happens to me every time. I was in Church 2 weeks ago, when a strange Guy walked up to me after the close of service. He asked me to teach him work He went further to say that he already has Facebook and some Emails.....

I just smiled and left him

rahztafari:
That's why I had to quit teaching since I was a part-time freelancer then. I was making more money than the principal. Non of the teachers knew what freelancing is and neither do the kids. All of them just conclude that a yahoo boy and I had to leave. It was becoming something else sef. I love teaching tho

My puzzle is this: are teachers meant to look poor?

Mrshape:
Felt bad today when my sss1 students jokingly accused me of being an internet fraudster using teaching and corporate dressing as cover up.
I have to sit them down and school them there are teachers doing very well and show them some evidence that all my money is from teaching.
I don't really blame them some of their elder once might have told them you can only make it big with yahoo.

Have you being falsely accused to be an internet fraudster (yahoo) ?
How did you handle it?

lalasticlala:


Same here. Neighbours would be wondering what is this guy's source of income? He stays home all day while his wife goes out. Could it be that the Wife is feeding him or is he a Yahoo Boy, his Gen is on most a times, you hardly see him come out. I have heard gossips about me being a Yahoo boy. Lol

Even the guy that fixes my generator told me he thought same too because my former neighbors told him I'm into Yahoo. He confessed that he has always thought it's true. LWKMH

SmartPolician:


That's not true.
There are many silent ones.
The lousy ones are mostly upcoming fraudsters.

KingAzubuike:

Not entirely true. Even the ones that have made good money from Yahoo are lousy too.

However if you want to know an upcoming Yahoo boy, just study his dressing. He go chop small iTunes gift card next thing na to wear colored socks ontop slippers, roundneck shirt, 3 quarter jeans, dye hair yellow, blue or white, put ear ring in some occasion, stuff their back pocket with like 10k and get a steady bikeman. In their minds, they have arrived and balling .

ictjobber:
Every young guy in my neighborhood think I'm into yahoo yahoo because they don't see me leaving the house every morning to go to work... I don explain Taya say there other ways of making it from home aside yahoo yahoo but them no dey gree.. So these days just ignore the side talks.

studentofTruth:


Not funny, but the truth is that it's what the entire country has told them! Since 2019, I started lamenting the nonsense being transmitted into the minds of these young ones by the way our unintelligent agencies are acting and you all are cheering them. Nigeria hasn't seen anything yet! When EFCC — through their manner of operation and media propaganda — is fighting very hard to tell our children that the only thing that can be done with digital gadgets is fraud, what do you expect from those kids? It's a time bomb waiting to blow up. Just know that the minds of our kids have been corrupted by what they see on the media everyday!

As regards your income, sorry to say this, but if all your income is from teaching, you are wasting your talents. I mean, as a teacher, you can also offer copywriting services or graphics designing on Fiverr/Upwork and be earning more than 10x what you are paid as a teacher.

This is the kind of people I wanna get close to and call friend lemme learn from them.

Ovaltine:
During Uni, I worked for Google and Microsoft as student partners so there is always cash to run events, travels, gadgets etc

Well, the fellowship vice president aka Mummy revealed during a prayer session that someone here is doing yahoo and danger is coming if he doesn't heed.

She began to describe and I knew 100% she was aiming at me. She did stunts I can't recall again even after that day and members came to tell me about it.

I think she also came to me during a prayer session and held my hands and told me to start praying for forgiveness and I should give up that thing I have very warned about. It was so acqward but I laughed it off.

Poor her.

BigYash:
Na so one old man dey call me yahoo boy for inside bus ,while I was traveling in January. Make I no look fresh again? Na wah for people o.. If he know how many litres and gallon of water I dey drink everyday just to look fresh as money never dey, he go pity me.

AdeOri99:

Are you being paid to moderate nairaland?

I thought it to be a community service
