Written by Thatyorubdude

Yahoo Yahoo Boys as they are referred to as in Nigeria are Internet Fraudsters and scammers who obtain money from unsuspecting victims under false pretense

In Nigeria today, The population of Yahoo Boys is way higher than that of the Graduates. Everybody is striving to reap where they did not sow. The frustration that goes through the mind of Salary Earners when they see this Fraudsters is quite disheartening.

The Scammers are on the Increase everyday by day.

Below are the top cities where you can find most of these con men in Nigeria.

10.Abuja
Yes, their are a good number of internet fraudsters in Abuja, a city known to be controlled by political money bags. These fraudsters who are seen as Abuja big boys by virtue of the fact that they are relatives of some big politicians or claim to work in one government ministry or the other, actually use those as a cover for their illegal activities.

9.Abeokuta, Ogun State
This is a town with a growing number of youth interest in online scam. These young men sometime in 2014 hacked into an Ogun state owned account and stole millions of Naira. This could anyway be attributed to poor security system with the bank in question.

8.Kaduna, Kaduna State
Kaduna is another town with a growing number of yahoo boys. There has even been reports of attempts to steal the identity of the new Governor Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.

7.Awka, Anambra State
The scammers here who are majorly undergraduate students appears to have been gradually deserting the town as security operative had busted them many times in the past and had continued to be on their trail.

6.Enugu, Enugu State
Enugu is a place where yahoo boys are growing in their number as the city has quiet estates and accommodations where these young men hide away to carry out their illegal jobs without easily getting noticed.

5.Owerri, Imo State
A large number of Yahoo boys can be found in Owerri. They are well known in major hotel within the city where they go to squander their money on women. They also ride flashy cars around the city with people usually hailing them.

4.Warri, Delta State
Internet scam is so popular among the youths in Warri, Asaba, and other major towns in Delta state that they even impersonate their state governor without fear.

3.Port Harcourt, Rivers State
Port Harcourt is a place where internet scam is fast becoming a hobby. You will hardly see a young boy who doesn’t know someone involved in this ugly activity. Even with the increase in the number of people captured by the EFCC there, they appear not to be perturbed.

2.Benin City, Edo State
Benin is a known hotspot for the so-called Yahoo guys. Young boys of different age groups here engaged in online dating of foreigners particularly widows. They use different pseudo names and pictures to deceive their prospective victims. They also believe in charm helping them to hit their “maga” easily.

1.Lagos

Lagos is the headquarters of Internet Fraudsters in Nigeria. Virtually every corner of Lagos, from Lekki to the mainlands, has these con men who refer to themselves as “Gee Boys” meaning guys with swags and knows what’s up. The biggest amongst them own houses and live very expensive lifestyles in Lagos.

What do you think guys?

Which City in Nigeria do you think is missing on this List?

For Me => Osogbo is also loaded with Yahoo boys but did not make this list because their number is low compare to that of the Other Top 10 Cities listed above.

Haba bros.. This your comment is very unnecessary. She's right in her own terms and I quite agree with her. Most of these boys are into other things but pretend to be Yahoo boys cos it's of a lesser consequence. plus, yahoo yahoo is well accepted by the public. I'm sure even robbers parade themselves as G-boys.

califotox:

ToriBlue:
Owerri should be number 1, even primary school students are yahoo boys!

Come to Asaba and you will be amazed. there is no Higher institution here o but virtually all males from 40-18yrs is one.
The police don't disturb them.

ojuu4u:

the police there protects them, in fact Yahoo boys there move with police escort and yes,I'm not exaggerating

A list without ibadan in first or second is useless... der is an estate there where u find yahooboys with Mercedes 4matic cars flooding the whole estate lke water. If u drive any car lower dan dat u'll know u are in a strange place.

smartmey61:
you got it wrong. IBADAN SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 GBAM. THE CRADLE OF GEE MEN NOT BOYS. TUNDE OGINI SIGHTED BOSS. NOW KING IN OSUNSTATE OF A TOWN CALL ETI ONI IJESHA, NERO AND JERO. MAN IBADAN RESPECT.

You are right most of the 419ers are from Ibadan,including one of the present governor in the south west.They started Credit card fraud in the 80s before he traveled to UK and after making his money from fraud he ventured into politics and now a governor.Its not how you make money that matters but how you spend it.Most of our leaders today have been involved in one shady deals or other.Respect to Okoroawusa,the ILE OWO provider and also a governor too from the east ,even Ade Bendel all started from IB

This op is high come to osun state you go fear lol
