How a yahoo boy used X to raise funds by pretending he is from Gaza in Palestine.

This is exactly what happens when a platform becomes the new “street.”
People forget that Yahoo didn’t disappear — it just migrated.

The sad part isn’t even the scammers; it’s how quickly Nigerians fall for anything emotional online without verifying a single detail. Somebody slaps “Gaza,” “sick child,” or “urgent help” on a post and suddenly everyone is a humanitarian.

Truth is, X has turned into a marketplace of identities — today Gaza, tomorrow Sudan, next week “orphans in Jos.”
Meanwhile the real victims never get the help.

Until people start demanding proof before donating, these fake sob stories will keep cashing out.

Is this supposed to be an update for us?
So sorry... My mind cannot even go to yahoo.
I don't just know why.

Nigérians will get to a point where the whole world will start avoiding them like a plague. We will get there soon.

Arab are also using religion to scam. Its a format that has been learnt.

Telling millions of people pay billions to come every year to bow down to a stone idol. Is that not scam ?

This Gaza scaming thing is not done by Nigerians alone

The death of yahoo is near
At least the non technical form of yahoo

This not bode well for Nigerian government. A lot of angry, jobless youths are about to hit the streets.

Hmm! Criminals all over.....and these are thesame people blaming government for their failures.

Some are even using it to raise funds to pay ransom to kidnappers.

even X owner jus did WHITE PAPER SC@M to become 1st TRILLIONAIRE byt Voting , so 9ja ppl dey LEARN from oga at the TOP KPATKPATA

A large percentage of the donations are not from Nigerians.

The post only exposed a Nigerian operated account used for scam.

Using image from poplar IDs to farm engagements

Elon Musk pour hot otolo on Yahoo boys. Laugh no go kill me.

Let you guys keep up okay....Leaders are bringing disgrace to the country and citizens are also adding their own.

What will become of this country in the nearest future might be terrible.

They prey on people’s misfortune and wonder why the money don’t last. But how do this guys come up with this crazy formats, even going as far as creating gofundme just to do crime?

Mark Zuckerberg has chased them from Facebook, instagram and WhatsApp. Now they’ve migrated to X.

we are already there. not so many people would be bold enough to tell you why you are been discriminated

I don't believe all that social media news report

has this kind of thing been helping us? Worse scammers are in the so-called developed world and they're the ones with websites where hacking tools and other vices are sold yet, we hardly hear of them.


Americans have been known to be fraudsters who claim to be Nigerians. Asian and European fraudsters, even other Africans who are not Nigerian people claim to be from here, saw one who claimed to be a Nigerian because he said that other people feared or respect Nigerians.How sick is that?

we are already there or even beyond

Chinese and Indians are also doing the same thing. Leave Nigerians alone. That’s how one Denmark scammer scammed a Nigerian. Dem no call am scammer o. Scammer are everywhere in the world.

Nigerians can take advantage of the vulnerable and that's one of our weakness

Nigerians and scamming is like the werewolves and full moon ..

Nigerians are hard workers both in legit and illegal hustles, just that, our evil government keeps pressing our necks!!

As if that is not enough, the other one who's already in hell fire burning profusely, came out and said Nigerian youths are lazy! Mumu terrorist aboki !!.

It's very bad for the real victims

Why do people like to digress without addressing the issue at hand?
