Back in the days I can remember, in my younger days, if it's heard that you're doing yahoo, it's a very big taboo. I remember it was called 419 then, nobody dares to come out openly and say he's a yahoo boy, not to talk of flaunting it as people do so now.
How things have so changed! The pressure is high, and the unemployment situation in the country isn't helping and the government is making things worse. Things like Banning of cryptocurrencies, Banning of Twitter, Further devaluation of the Naira, At a time I don't blame the large population of youths going into Fraud. If the country is good, people wouldn't think about it.
I traveled to South Africa earlier this year, I was surprised how their people lives, they are very satisfied and contented with what they have, money isn't worshipped as it is done here. I think that was how it was done in Nigeria before things got worse and the poverty rate increased, I could remember if a member of a family is making illegal wealth, the rest of the family would never take any gift from him and sideline him, but now, hahaha, everybody would like to be his friend to get money from him.
I studied a medical course and yahoo is trending amongst the students, even the graduated ones are into it fully, then I wonder were the country is heading to.
The pressure to use iPhone, buy trending clothes, visit places and chop life is real and causing youths into depression.
A young guy of 22 is also pressurised whether he will make it. Chai, this country tire me .
I just want to travel abroad where academic and career progression is recognised and rewarded.
A successful yahoo boy has a promising future than a First class graduate in Nigeria.

The last paragraph caught my attention

we are in a society where we worship money.

Money speaking, bull she, keep quiet.


that was why nice sang a song glorifying fraud.


saying "kinshatilowo" meaning, he just wants to have money irrespective of the kind of deals he is engaged in.

na wa.

Your outro really hit home as that's the current situation presently in Nigeria.

If you ain't getting money, you don't have a say .

It's appalling. No value system at all.
