Only fuuls will misunderstand these words.
He is not commending Yahoo. He is simply saying that the ICT skill with which the yahoo boys use can be redirected to something better.

Most yahoo guys writes strong codes to break cyber secured assets. The problem is that theee idiot. S are using their skill to defraid innocent people. The government should equip good guys with sound ICT skill to achieve something better than what these animals are currently doing
Yahoo boys don't write any codes , a lot of them actually have low to average IQ

You're very silly , Yahoo boys aren't geniuses , if you know who a genius is you won't be saying this rubbish












You guys are just so pathetic, You easily allow fanatical and directionless politics becloud your sense of reasoning, Tinubu said exact same thing during one of his campaign but as usual, out of pure evil and hate it is now nonsense because it is coming out of Peter Obi's mouth.

Here's the clip before you all start arguing with your keyboards:

https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=634031771830178&vanity=nativereportersng

Let me educate you guys on why both Tinubu and Peter Obi is actually right.

Yahoo boys or Gee boys are split into groups, they work as a network of experts in their respective fields in the following categories:

Hookup
Picker
Dating
Hacker
Loader
Vendor
Spammer
Middleman

Now, when a client is hooked, these teams contact each other on how to get paid and split the funds, 97% of Yahoo boys don't work alone. None of the job they do can be done by someone with a DULL brain. You need some level of intelligence to carry out a successful transaction from a client. I am not referring to the uneducated ones who rely on one intelligent egbon adugbo or do rituals to cashout from clients.

Come to think of it, do you think hacking into a secured server or designing a convincing phishing website is a child's play? Do you think moving money from bank to bank electronically without being caught can be done by a dull person? Do you actually think someone that is not intelligent can carry out a successful scam of defrauding educated people?

Person wey no smart no fit do yahoo... period.

Yahoo Yahoo is ICT skill? Do you even know what ICT stands for, as a CPN certified person I can tell you, nothing they are doing is ICT, many come to me to help them clone websites, they learn to deceive people to buy products that doesn't exist, how is this ICT.

STOP GLORIFYING RUBBISH, IT WAS WRONG OF PETER OBI TO SAY THAT, THERE'S NO SUGARCOATING IT.

All these things you wrote here is nonsense.

We have Faculties and Departments where ICT, Science in computer, both in Engineering and many more are being taught in Nigerian Universities.

A thief is a thief.
not everyone can go back to write waec and jamb to enter university, but everyone can learn at a vocational school

He may be right to some extent, the movie “to kill a monkey “ agrees with Obi’s statement
Re: Yahoo Boys Are Geniuses Who Need Redirection – Peter Obi by WriterX(m): 10:27am On Oct 26, 2025
But we have alot of hackers with global crimes and sabotage to their portfolio, who have been put into use by the USA security outfits, CIA, MIT, FBI


Many dont know how complex the whole idea of digital fraud works.
I teach DATA SECURITY AND A GRAD IN COMP SCIENCE

Obi may not be referring to all however there is just a select few of these people who are actually pretty smart.
These few may prove useful rathe than useless if directed.

If amnesty was provided for militants and terrorists and most were reintergrated into the nigeria security why not them.

The nigeria prison is called a correctional facility for the reason of rehabiliation.

I think these set of people can be trained and put to better work and use as well ,i believe that is obi's true message.

If Nigerian politicians that always scamming you during elections campaigns with fake promises, and you are still openly supporting these same politicians, what do you called that?
APC, ADC and PDP bloggers are yahoo and all the Nigerian political parties supporters are fraudsters.

It's easy to breach trust in high trust society.

Lol no be only genius. Majority can't even read, they copy and paste. It works because the whites they target are even more uneducated. Nigerians always have a high opinion of white people thinking they're very educated and smart but lots of them don't know 123

Kid stop defending rubbish here. You think folks here are novice. Some folks here are IT guys like myself. All these "explanation" here hold no water.

Never ever equate IT intelligence with 'Yahoo boys'. Which useless code yahoo boy dey write? Lol.. Quit this rubbish.

KingOfAmebo:
Legit programmers don't sell to hackers, hackers build there own from scratch, a code is a code and what you use the code for depends on your intentions, It's just like a knife, you can use the knife for cooking and also use it to kill someone, it doesn't make the knife evil or good.

We have Hackers in the category of Black Hat, White Hat, Green Hat and White Hat...the Black Hat Hackers are the ones used by the Yahoo boys for their exploits. the White Hat Hackers are the gatekeepers that ensure the Black Hat Hackers don't gain entry into systems by conducting what is called PENETRATION TESTING or PENTEST...you can read more on this online

It is already a pain explaining these things to you guys sef.

This man is desperate for votes and he would lose monumentally come 2027. Nothing good would come out of this man if he enters aso rock. Tinubu must finish his tenure if we don't have any reasonable candidate.

Can you give an idea the sort of strong codes they write ? Do you even know what a strong code is ? I would consider a strong code as one used to generate machine learning capabilities
Bro those kids don't know what they're saying. They think NL is full of unintelligent folks, they don't know most folks here are IT experts.

"strong code" my foot!

See this muntulla, you call yourself an IT guy but don't know the difference between a Black Hat Hacker and a White Hat Hacker. Werey.

So, you mean the black hat guys are the good guys while the Yahoo boys are the bad guys...The fact you don't know both of them are partners in crime shows the level of your ignorance.

Kiddo, Let me put it this way for you to understand better like explaining to a 5 year old:

A Yahoo boy want to hack your account but couldn't then a black hat programmer writes a code to helps the Yahoo boy achieve his aim knowing fully well the purpose of the tool. Your account gets hacked and your money gone, who do you blame? The Yahoo boy or the black hat programmer or both of them?

I can see you too is so embarrassed by what Obi said. The shame was so much you have to attribute the news to some imaginary political enemies.
The reality that some of you that call yourselves Obidients is still afraid of facing is that your Principal is very empty. He is the least intelligent of all the major Presidential candidates. If by some accident of history that man rules Nigeria, he will run the country aground within 3 months.

Because of hate una just Dey mumu for here .. continue .

Stop spewing thrash and confusing yourself. Regular yahoo boys don’t write codes. A black hat developing those tools is not a yahoo boy, so if yahoo boys buy those from the black hat does that make the yahoo boy the dev?
And stop throwing tech jargons around lol, some of us have been in this field for over 10 years working for international tech giants abroad. I’m a security cloud solutions architect!

Don't try to shift the goalpost and deny what you said. I have quoted your exact post here, where you explicitly used the word "most". This was what has caused these back and forth with you.

"Most yahoo guys writes strong codes to break cyber secured assets. The problem is that theee idiot. S are using their skill to defraid innocent people".

Buying tools from the dark web from some Russian black hat programmer doesn't suddenly make you a genius that writes strong codes. The context here is Nigerian Yahoo boys, not those from Russia or India. It's utterly senseless trying to rationalise the drivel Obi has just spewed in relation to Yahoo boys who are simply cheap criminals.
The guy is dense lol
