The Triad has inflitrated our border system and sooner than later we will have a full sized situation
What exactly is the gain or perhaps, the benefit, satisfaction and life fulfilment in drawing tatoos on your body?

They won't let you take pictures and won't tell you the meaning or motive behind the tattoo.

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.
some of you should be ashamed of yourselves, what prove do you have to show that there are yahoo boys!
A whole lot of you are in no way better than the evil leaders you complain about!
Empty heads and inability to reason!

I wish I saw this earlier so I could take a picture of a tattoo with Chinese language done by my boss at work! There is something like a white tap over it , which is to show it is new!

He is not a Nigerian , neither does he live in Nigeria!

Neither is he a criminal!

Just be profiling people wrongly up and down!

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?
Something birthed yahoo boys and hook up girls in our society today, what caused it, a lack of a failure or both?

When and where have you called out politicians dealing with the masses on this forum, show me any of your posts or comments in the past or you remain silent and face front

Mind you, that’s not a Chinese word but a Japanese Philosophy which translates to Kaizen. Which means Change for the better/Continous improvement. It’s not any cult related stuff neither is it associated with cyber criminals. In as much as I’m not disputing your fact I’m just airing my opinion.

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
Now this the kind of attitude towards this crime that baffles me, how the society looks away and allow this evil to fester.

The Police and all agencies of security and law are supposed to be out there mopping up any appearances of this evil from the streets and society yet everyone is taking their menace for granted.

The Law enforcement agents, parents and the populace are even encouraging it in spite of the glaring dangers we see every day of their activities.

Everyone should be taking very strong stands against it, not saying "leave them alone".

The Chinese characters tattooed on the person's forearm in the image are "喜悅" (traditional Chinese) or "喜悦" (simplified Chinese).

This word, pronounced xǐ yuè (pinyin), translates to "joyful," "happy," or "delighted" in English.

Therefore, the tattoo conveys a message of joy, happiness, or delight, often expressing a deep sense of pleasure or contentment.

It's your kind of people that applaud politicians when they build mansions, to you that one is not heinous crime. The same police you are calling on is the most corrupt organization in Nigeria, that one doesn't bother you. Internet fraud is not our problem in Nigeria.
I understand how it feels when people younger than you are living a life you dream of though, but focus on the real problem

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.
Gangs used Symbols and signs , especially Asian gangs

Say no more brother, our society is dammed. Now I see why crime and criminality is on the rise. Whenever there is a trend, Nigeria is worse hit.

Anyone who needs a research reference for herd mentality and its impact on Sub-Saharan Africa or insight on how morally degraded Africans respond to sensible questions bothering on security, should look no further because my post is a perfect reference.

The MS-13 gang started like this. Most Asian cults are known for tattoos as their symbols.

Yes, this thing is brewing in the North. But one day, it will get to other parts of Nigeria. When it does, remember my post and know that WE ENABLED IT.

NIGERIA IS A FERTILE GROUND FOR CRIME.
