theredaddy:I once had an argument with a former colleague. The guy was blaming yahoo boys for inflation of prices in house rent. I told him that yahoo is the least of the problem we have in this country.yahoo has been in existence even before we were born and the reason why it's now so loud is as a result of moral decadence in our society. The society currently don't value morals,they worship anyone that has money,coupled with failure of government in taking up responsibilities,has pushed more and more persons into yahoo. Some landlords are happy letting their houses out to yahoo boys cos they are the ones that have more money to pay so the root cause of this whole problem is societal moral decadence. |

ufotunang:If all Nigerian politicians remits 80% of the total money they’ve stolen, yahoo will automatically be eradicated in Nigeria… How can you steal the future of the country and you expect them to fold their hands and be looking at you… Everyone in Nigeria is a thief, including your pastors and imams… Your president is guilty, your governor is guilty… your law enforcement agents are the biggest criminals… so how do you want the country to be free from such. You can’t give what you don’t have |

PulaPower:Majority of their GDP comes from collective creativity and natural resources,unlike yahoo boys whose source of income is raw stealing directly from other's hard earned income. According to hadiths in Islam,if you commit sin to God,God can forgive but whatever you do to fellow human is the most disastrous. You have to pay every penny you extorted from your fellow human being here in this world,if you can't,you carry the debt over to Kiyama(afterlife) and your good deeds in this world would be used to pay all of the debts. If the money you extort is so much,it might gulp up all your good deeds that you would have no good deeds on your scale,and left with many debts and bad deeds,and you go straight to hell. |

theredaddy:to add to that if not for the yahoo,the rate of armed robbery would have been very high. People would hardly sleep in their houses with out getting robbed. The problem with alot of persons is that they are not brave enough to mention the biggest problems we have in our society. Religion, tribalism and bad governance are far bigger issues in this country. |

floss: floss:Speak for yourself. Imams are not thieves. Don't mistake imam for Alfa. Imams lead prayers in mosque and I've never seen any Imam that extorts like pastors. Alfas are freelancers and split into many parts. Some Alfas teach Quranic memorization,Some Alfas teach several Islamic subjects,some Alfas preach,some Alfas are just normal good Muslims that are committed to seeking knowledge and adhering strictly to Islamic practices and this is what majority of Muslims are and are expected to be. Some Alfas are Islamic law experts and judges. Some Alfas are humanitarian social workers that try to remove Jinns out of possessed individuals free of charge but they usually have other jobs for survival,some Alfas are researchers that unfold correlations of Modern science with Quran and hadiths,some Alfas research and unfold numerical messages and secrets in Quran from the verses and words. The Alfas you are referring to are those we call Alu Ifa because they claim to solve people's problems spiritually whereas we Muslims swear oath on every prayer stand that it is Allah(God) only we worship and it is he only we ask for help. There is no intermediary in Islam but they try to act otherwise because of money till the extent of even committing the worst sins like kufr or Idolatry,like black magic which is what is the most frowned at in Islam and anybody that dies after doing it without repenting will go straight to hell. Some of them do Bidia like telling customers to hold rosary or washing Arabic texts off a board,some use alcohol to consume their magic powder,etc |

Babalegba:england did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1830 and 1960 and after.. they took the billions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build england they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized. 1) before the br:itish left Nigeria, the Br:itish from 1820 - 1960 did not build one university, our number of primary and secondary schools were very low, br:itish did not build smooth roads all over Nigeria , no housing estates, no plans for clean water for communities, no hospitals, no universities, no teaching hospitals, no vocational centers, no power plants, majority of the private companies where owned by the br:itish and they only gave Nigerians clerical work which is what the education system they gave us is meant to produce office assistants. All the developments you see in Nigeria today from Abuja to lagos to calabar to Akwa-ibom to oyo to Enugu e.t.c are all built by Nigerians, our parents, our grand parents e.t.c the br:itish left Nigeria to rot. Everything you had and have the privilege of enjoying in Nigeria was and is through the hardwork of parents, grand parents, and other Nigerians. 2) the bri:tish leave the people more devastated than they earlier met them. If not for the hardwork and peaceful nature of our ancestors in southern Nigeria, southern Nigerians will be in poverty because the bri:tish created Nigeria in a way where Northern and Southern Nigeria will engage in endless wars... 3) after over 140 years in Nigeria.. the british did nothing for Nigeria and Nigerians.. |

Hhh4444: theredaddy:increase in house rent is due to many factors like inflation, fuel price increase, diaspora remittances e.t.c... it is most likely diaspora remittances that is increasing rent.... you guys are forgetting there are thousands of Nigerians working in countries that have better currencies than Nigeria, so all they have to do is send a small amount back to Nigeria so that their family members can live comfortably. |

codemaniacs:I can only hope that you are being sarcastic otherwise I weep for this country. This country is gone. Nigeria used to have a reading culture but the poverty manufactured by the politicians has eroded that., after all a hungry man cannot read |

Babalegba:It is wrong and irritating that you say "at huge sacrificial cost." You thereby garb an exploitative and extractive program as a sacrifice. I don't agree with the other poster codemaniacs that they did nothing good - they did. But it is extremely wrong for you to attempt to make their actions appear altruistic by using the word "sacrifice." Secondly I personally do not award marks for abolishing a slave trade that they instituted themselves and grew fabulously wealthy from for over three hundred years. I hope you are aware that when the slave trade was abolished they paid compensation to the slave owners and not to the slaves and that compensation was so huge that Britain only finished paying it in 2015. There are many many more dark things to be said about colonialism, imperialism and neo colonialism because these imperialists have not stopped exploiting Africa in extremely dark ways including instigating wars, murders and instability to suit their interest as well as deliberately foistering poverty. None of the above means I see any justification for the fraud that Yahoo represents as some people tend to think. |

DeepSight:Fact of the matter is that they are human and humans do bad things but also good things. They are not angels but did far better than your own people would have done in the same circumstances. If not for British colonization,you are very likely to be wearing a grass skirt now and be an observant Muslim converted with the edge of the sword. Many of them left the comfort of their relatively developed homes to come to mosquito infested lands to educate the natives and build hospitals churches and schools . You caused your own poverty with poor leadership,greed, callousness and selfishness In 1983 I exchanged 50 Nigerian naira for almost 40 pounds Sterling. Now fifty naira cannot buy you biscuits in Nigeria but you can get an android phone for 40 pounds albeit a small one. Is Britain responsible for that. Nigerians are the destroyers of Nigeria but they always look for foreigners to blame. Yahoo Yahoo destroys an economy as it erodes trust. If you are an American looking to outsource a remote work ,deciding between Nigeria and India, would you go for Nigeria. Is Britain responsible for kidnapping and banditry in Nigeria . Are they the ones looting the treasury and subverting the will of the people. Maybe they are the ones increasing prices in Nigeria unilaterally and causing relentless inflation. I feel sorry for this country. |

Babalegba:I would have thought my response was sufficiently balanced to let you know - I admitted that they did some good things, and I also condemned Yahoo fraud. So what are you on about? Trying to paint your white exploiters as saints? Did I whimper a word exonerating our black bad leadership either? Rather than recognise the balance I offered, you appear to be engaging in white worship. If you say for example that I would have been wearing grass then you have zero knowledge of African history whatsoever. And when I say zero, I mean zero. You are also clueless about whats going on in the world. And you have a very very lamentably poor perspective on world history. |

Babalegba:they are the most evil people in the world. there is a word for clothes in every African language, so Africans already wore clothes before your favourite wyte demons invaded Africa.. they caused poverty in Africa by destroying our farmlands, burning productive farmers alive by sponsoring Poolani terrorists to attack places that did not bow to them which the Poolanis are still carrying out till date.. they cause poverty in Nigeria by indirect rule and picking Presidents that are anti-black just like you and Presidents who will order soldiers to shoot innocent civilians and train African security organizations to be against their fellow citizen. In 1983, Nigeria's population had not be falsely inflated and altered so your favorite wyte demons did some economic magic through their puppets and inflated Nigeria's population which led to the weakening of the currency.. In 2025, Nigeria have more infrastructural developments and well paved roads than in 1983, but according to your favorite wyte demons Nigeria is corrupt, Nigeria is a 3rd world, Nigeria is suffering. Nigerians are the builders of a better Nigeria that your favorite wyte demons want to destroy.. Yes, your favorite wyte demons are responsible for kidnapping and banditry in Nigeria because that is what they used in the 1800s to take over and colonize Nigeria... Yes, they are the ones looting the treasury and subverting the will of the people by indirect rule and letting these Presidents keep the loot in their wyte banks. Yes, they are the ones increasing prices in Nigeria because of Uk:raine, ... before R:ussia invaded Uk:raine prices of foods was normal but after the invasion, they used their media to claim Uk:raine was feeding Africa and the rest of the world.. I feel very sorry for you... |
