Which yahoo. This Olosho won't behave herself. Our politicians are the biggest problem in this country. Okowa formal governor of Delta State stole over 2 trillion Naira and join APC for forgiveness. Allow boys do there yahoo in peace

BarrElChapo:
Her first statement “that yahoo dey help this country is totally wrong” I didn’t watch any longer.

TimiofAbuja:
Yahoo is not a legitimate Hustle. It is overwhelmingly a curse, even though some people try to justify it because of the money involved.
though it provides quick money, it reduces unemployment for those involved, it brings foreign currency into the country and some use the money to support families.

but
Destroys Nigeria’s global image, Encourages crime culture among youths, Leads to violence and rituals (Yahoo Plus) and it destroys families and futures.

say No to Yahoo Yahoo

The biggest yahoo yahoo is gov.....................complete it

Light78:
She is saying the truth.

Try to apply for jobs online

DeltaBachelor:

She's no different than the people she's advising. What does she mean by your next cash out, use the money blablabla"? Are they even supposed to be stealing in the first place? This generation is sick to the core She condemns it but she also sees nothing wrong with the criminal vocation.

ogascomax:
This girl spoke lot of sense here. Yahoo boys life styles have influenced many aspect of our daily lives from renting house to clothing's etc which has cause inflation in some areas, towns and cities. You see that house rent part. An agent will just tell a landlord that wanted to rent an apartment for 400k to just hold on that a yahoo boy will pay 800k. They don't price they just pay. Such trend began some 7 years ago and that was the genesis of expensive houses today.

omenka:
How is stealing from people through deceit and bringing their lives to ruins a "blessing and a curse"? I bet kidnapping could also be regarded as same. Smh.

DeltaBachelor:
If you don’t understand me, just shut the fk up. Internet has been a blessing to some of us doing remote jobs, teaching students in the diaspora. I am not talking of criminal activities like yahoo. That’s a Curse as a result of internet. It has tarnished the image of legit people like us wey never get chance to travel because The whites are now scared of our region To the very few that still give us the benefit of doubt, it has indeed being a blessing. If you are in Nigeria and you get paid in dollars, for a legit remote job, you will understand what I meant earlier. You even saw how I put “CURSE” in capital letters to denote that I am totally against it. Use your head o, nor let your head use you


Bye

@Emboldened

The whites have not been scared of our region for the past five centuries.
No level of Yahoo-yahoo go make them scared of our region in the next five centuries

Elzazzi:
Nobe lie. Na yahoo boys casts Asaba. Just imagine how the prices of rents skyrocketed in that city!

DeltaBachelor:
Obviously like I said, you are not a remote-worker. There is no need arguing with an ignorant person. Good luck trying to open PayPal with a Nigerian IP address (without blocking your VPN). There are lots of remote jobs abroad (The whites) that screen you out because you are NIGERIAN. I am talking about jobs that will be given to a Ghanaian or even South-African o. Why do you think those Yahoo-Yahoo boys are leaving Nigeria in droves ? Them don cast Nigeria. Them don wan cast Ghana again. Do you think it is because of poor internet they are leaving ? It is because of the reputation of Nigeria abroad which has diminished seriously. Like John snow, YOU KNOW NOTHING my guy. Do have a good day !

TheStoriesOfMan:
Not only Yahoo boys, another reason is this mentality of believing every Onitsha businessman coming to do business in Asaba is "loaded" with cash.

It would have been worse if Asaba was an oil-rich city.

LofP:
She has made a reasonable observation. Yahoo is one big societal problem that Nigerian government has failed to deal with. Next is organ trafficking. A former senator is in prison abroad for this. And the final boss is human rituals which the politicians also indulge in, and therefore cannot stop it.

It is up to us as a society to speak against the evils of our time.

VEE2010:
I hope the younger generation will heed this advice before it's too late.

I'll add a few more points she omitted, for those who will take her message seriously:

5. Yahoo exposes young people to nefarious activities: ritual murders and other social ills can largely be attributed to Yahoo.

6. Some young boys, seeking money, resort to theft when the expected gains don't materialize.

7. Years wasted living in a vicious cycle, as she mentioned. Life is a process; individuals develop in stages. If certain stages are missed, the shortcomings will inevitably be felt in later life. In life, a child must learn to sit, crawl, stand, walk, and run, in that order. The same principle applies to financial management: young people must be taught to engage in productive activities. Money is the reward for work, but also a resource. We send money to do things, not the other way around. Once a child is mature enough to understand this principle, managing their spending well will be no problem. Engaging in fraudulent activities erodes these values ​​and makes young people vulnerable, as we have recently seen.

It is important to instill in young people the idea that money isn't everything, but that it is essential to prepare for it before needing it, otherwise it can become a trap.

TheStoriesOfMan:
The bolded can only work in a greed-free society (though 100% impossible but achievable with strict laws).

Greed na one kin bad spirit eh, if a sane person lives in a greed-filled society, the pressure will be too much than a greedy person living in a greed-free society. For the latter he can move to a place where he can operate with his folks.

The long and short, environment is a key factor. I don't judge people trying to japa for a better life for their children, because they need the perfect atmosphere to thrive and be productive.
