The tattoo in the second picture reads "I don't know". A very common phrase in Chinese.

How does that have anything to do with cultism or internet fraud?

Nicki Minaj has a Chinese character tattoo. It is a fashion style and has nothing to do with any cult. You guys have done too well to demonize simple fashion like dread and tainted hair, and now the target is tattoo.

It's something like this. Few Chinese alphabets. Sometimes 4 or 5 of them.
These things that look like a few Chinese alphabets may be an essay

Leave yahoo boys alone, they are not the ones stealing from the allocations, they are not the ones borrowing money from countries and siphoning them...

They are normal guys suffering like the rest of the masses
I will not leave them alone! They are thieves and killers!

Who do you think are the kidnappers? These boys disguise as yahoo boys but unknown to you, they are part of these gangs.

Whatever it means, I don't know. But I know that its not a coincidence. Something is not right.

For now, I can speak from Northern Nigeria but with time, iI know t will spread like wildfire.

As a parent, watch your children and wards.

You might downplay my observation, but like I said, this post is for PARENTS and GUARDIANS because this thing I am talking about is something that is brewing in Northern Nigeria and will soon spread to other parts if not curtailed.

I do not know. I am only talking about my observation. Recall that I also acknowledged the fact that I once thought that it was fashion, until I started seeing it on the wrist of many young men. Most of them I have seen are Yahoo Boys

I know Sir. But do you know also know that "Kidnap informants" are paid a fraction of the ransom money? Do you also know that relatives have been indicted as informants that led to the kidnap of their "blood" relatives?

Do you know also that these guys, although known as Yahoo boys have taken to this niche? (Search online).

Have you wondered by a peaceful community automatically turns into a moral gutter immediately these guys move in?

Have you ever wondered why they pack out of the community immediately they are done studying the residents and executing few jobs?

Have you ever wondered why they don't stay too long in a community. They move and always marauding like nomadic people?

Well, you might be right, but this tattoo means "joy".
BlueStripper:
There is a current trend of Chinese Tattoos on the wrist of Cyber Criminals Aka Yahoo Boys. Investigations are pointing towards the influx of Chinese and Asian criminal elements who had made Nigeria an extension of their network.

When these Criminals first arrived Nigeria, they settled for Lagos, which was bursted by the EFCC. Then they moved to Abuja and now Kaduna and Calabar.

These tattoos looks like fashion but it is a cult related initiation. You see them on their wrist and hands.

Parents and wards should be careful of these trends and stop pushing their children into fraud. Why do I blame the parents? Most of the boys who are engaged in this act confessed that their parents, most especially, their mothers are the reason why they became fraudsters.

Yes, this boys are making money from fraud because their targets are not only Nigerians but foreigners from different countries. One thing is certain, this will come back to hunt them. And when the law catches up with them, they will pay dearly for it.

While I might not be certain about the the Chinese and Asian cults being behind these tattoos, I am 100% certain that this is a cult initiation as I have seen more than 100 boys with the same tattoo. And they are buying houses and cars in Kaduna. How they got the money, I don't know. And they will never reveal the purpose or meaning of the tattoo.

In summary, the boys are rich and heartharddend. Small boys from 13 years to 40 years and the likes.

If you have noticed this trend, kindly share your experience for other parents to learn.

Please do not truncate the purpose of this thread or turn it into a battlefield for tribal or political warfare.
