Even me oo. I remember around 2006,when yahoo and Internet just dey penetrate in the country. My friends, TY and Niyi,both now in USA would tell me to follow them to Cyber cafe for night browsing and to meet new white chicks on yahoo messenger. I wud refused, telling them it's evil and I cant joke with my sleep. Later,these guys started bombing on eBays started getting clothes and shoes online.

I remember DHL was their major shipping channels then. I was tempted to join them but my church mind wouldn't agree.

Then in 2007, during my pre degree in lautech ogbomoso,i had the opportunity to become a big boy,as I moved with some correct yahoo boys den,but I think I my brain was too slow to decode the updates and OTs those guys were giving me. I later regretted not joining those guys as they were ready to teach me all the rudiments.

Today those guys ride Lexus and are out of the country. One of them sent me 200k for my wedding. I for dey ball like them by now,but I gock am. Still painful sha

Namaster:
Another FOOL who glorifies crime and worship criminals.

Imagine an "influencer" BLATANTLY dismissing diligent and LEGITIMATE work in favour of RUINING the life of another person to enrich yourself.

This is the kind of WICKED and EVIL people we have in Nigeria who yield even MORE evil and wicked politicians.

Greed and corruption and making quick money is so ENTRENCHED in Nigerians that sensible people now ENVY criminals.

A shame!

The punishment for doing Yahoo nerds to be MORE brutal.
You pick $100, you pick 50 years in prison.
Pick $10,000+, your future generation will DIE in prison.

The world is going DIGITAL. Major businesses are being carried out ONLINE. But Nigerians are CONSTANTLY being EXCLUDED and isolated because of the STUPID Yahoo Boys who have ruined the reputation of Nigerians in the Cyberspace.

We ALL suffer the consequences of the GREED and CRIMES of these fools without knowing it.

ALL Yahoo Boys should ROT in prison.

He wrote:

“All of the days wey dem dey talk about yahoo yahoo, na today I regret pass say I no do am. Legitimate hustling never felt super useless #aremuafolayan.”

This is the idealogy of a typical youth in South West and that's why they are easily brain washed to believe harvesting human parts can make you rich overnight..

Guy,

Point of correction, Yahoo Yahoo wasn't just penetrating into the country in 2006. It started some years before that.

In Early 2000s, Yahoo Yahoo has started in Lagos. I had a coursemate who was living in Festac that already knows the rudiments of gee.

Even in 2001/2002, he introduced it a little to me in a cafe, but I didn't take it serious. Those guys were already making some cash then and buying good clothes to campus.

Anyways, you would definitely regret not joining them because those guys made serious cash and they build houses, married and travelled out easily.

Those were the days of transfer, cheque, inheritance, lotto, dating, courier and eBay format. There was nothing like rituals. It was just the application of reasonings and critical thinking.

My guy, I miss the days of Yahoo Messenger. I wish there can be a free chat app or website like that.

The Planet itself is a Yahoo Business. Imagine someone coloring a piece of paper and calling it money and everyone has to suffer to get it in order to eat. When you can just plant the things you eat without having to suffer for paper.

You're quite right sha. U know GSM entered Nigeria around 2003, and no Internet then except u go to Cyber cafe to browse. But I think it was around 2005,2006 that my guys started doing night browsing on yahoo messenger. Yahoo then was purely on smartness and not ritual as we hv today

Goodnewsforlife:
