Make I shock you with Tinubu statement during campaign on what he will do for yahoo yahoo boys?
Hypocrisy and double standards will definitely be the end of APC

Lamba king is a disappointment, you cannot whitewash it.

For every boko haram suspect released, at least 2 commanders have been killed.

The recent debacle in Katstina State was done by the state governor and not the FG, and if my memory is correct, that governor is a PDP governor.

I can already imagine the CIA documenting Obi's statement and nothing that he is in support of Yahoo Yahoo, knowing that this has led to the death of many people in the US.

Let your Obi go and serve as shortie for husspuppy na

Exactly!

Same with criminals, kidnappers, ritualist and cultists.

These people have talents that the government can always harness.

We probably should close all our correctional centers and harness the talents of all inmates.
Is APC government not rehabilitating bokoharam and negotiating with bandits?

Shame no dey catch this old man sef.

You can pretend forever not to know or understand the angle from which Obi is talking in the name of politics and cheap scores.

What HE Peter Obi said is 100% Percent correct.👍👍

YAHOO BOYS are very intelligent and their talents can be Harnessed. smiley

Afterall, Tinibu/APC govt embraces BOKO HARAM Terrorists and Bandits, and claim to reform them. undecided
Both Peter Obi, Tinubu and all over needs to see a doctor.

If an internet fraudster wiped away someone's life savings the shock and the heart attack could send that personality to his or her early grave. If those fraudsters are truly intelligent let them put it into positive use, they can open cyber cafe, but they won't do that because they are looking for easy, quick and big money.
How many people visit cyber cafes in 2025?
Youre just wired to criticize without even considering if you are making sense or not.

Oga, no one is saying it's good.

But any sensible person would understand Mr Obi is saying: people who do such practices are misled and needs redirection. And maybe he believes he can redirect them, something I doubt he's capable of.

I also doubt these fraudsters would welcome any changes as a change would mean for them to embrace honest work which does not usually bring fast and easy osusu.

But as with words, many things can be read from just one simple sentence, many of them contradictory.

What Obi said is absolute nonsense, government pardoning bandits is also nonsense. Obi is a sick man.

Actually I felt disappointed yesterday when I read that. But seeing the statement again now, I've changed my mind.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. He said "some of them", not all them.

He is absolutely correct. I just wish APC can stop playing politics of hate and campaign of calumny.

Go to YouTube the videos of Tinubu fake campaign promises are there where he was even saying he will recruit yahoo yahoo boys so that they’ll be manufacturing chips…

It shows that the only news you masturbate on are the ones that obi said, but keep deaf ears and blind eye to blunders from your paymaster
Show us where Tinubu referred to yahoo yahoo as geniuses or shut up. The era of repeating a lie 100 times in the hope that some idiots will believe you is over. Yes, yahoo boys needs orientation, yes yahoo boys can be trained to embrace IT as the president said but no where did Asiwaju referred to Yahoo boys and girls as geniuses. Obi like most ibos talk and exaggerates too much.

Even Tinubu said he'll turn yahoo boys into manufacturing experts, what's the difference between that and what Mr Obi said?

Did you hear me or Obi say we should pay people for doing yahoo? He only suggested that their skills which they deploy to do bad could be harnessed positively.
Yahoo yahoo is not okay, but is it worse than banditry, terrorism,armed robbery and corrupt enrichment with public funds? But you that don't have problems want us to accept that convicted criminals should be pardon while a mere statement by a man that is not even in government should be demonised.
Mad people think they are the normal ones,anyway

I have said it lack of patience and endurance but looking for quick, easy and big money that is pushing them to criminality is what you just confirm now. So who now make sense.

Mad people like Obi afterall he got advice from a mad man. Where did I mention to you that it was okay to pardon criminals? Show me!
Pardoning criminal is wrong, Obi justify Yahoo Yahoo in whatever form is wrong, you people using one wrong to justify another wrong is wrong.
Delulu!

To call his remarks disappointing would be a gross understatement—he himself is the real disappointment. Despite being labeled a billionaire, there’s no verifiable source of wealth beyond his past tenure as a state governor in Nigeria.

His affinity for questionable company is hard to ignore. Recall his public criticism of NAFDAC for cracking down on counterfeit drugs, drinks, and other illicit products. With his dwindling support base, fewer scandals to amplify, and fewer funerals to attend, Obi now seems to be courting the "Yahoo Yahoo" faction of his followers.

If you look closely, they’re the ones rallying behind him in this thread and the last. Today’s so-called "Yahoo Yahoo" operatives are often ritualists and kidnappers masquerading under that label—many don’t even use laptops anymore.

He shouldn’t worry, though. By 2026, they’ll have to account for their income and pay taxes. To do that, they’ll need to declare their earnings and how they acquired them. Perhaps they can list "Yahoo Yahoo" as their occupation and name Obi as their managing director, since he’s chosen to champion their cause.
grin you are so funny. But even Tinubu and Wike have no declared sources of income.
