Nigeria ought to set up a special cyber unit that will curb this cyber bullshit now,it is getting out of hand and will render many youths useless in the future,arrest prosecute and jail them now before it is too late.

No. The Yahoo Boys are criminals. It's IG's Duty to wipe them out of our Society.
You may be right somehow but the problem here is they go after innocent law abiding citizens in the name of fighting cycrime. Every clean guy in sleek automobile is a yahoo boy to those criminals called SARS. let them leave the job to the Efcc .

Yahoo Yahoo Boys are hereby commissioned to go about their 'patriotic illegitimate' businesses and bring back the funds which our Western Brothers take from us 'legitimately'. But I hear they eat 'shhit' these days, and kill people for sacrifice and I often wonder why the black man can not depend on his brain for anything. They just like worshipping some demons and selling their souls for wealth.
my bro I dey wonder the same thing in black everything has spiritual attachment.

Are your normal? Is that what SARS means? There are people Meant for cyber crime all over the world. They don't need to chase you like tom chases jerry like Nig Police and SARs does. They sit at office and fish fish out your arseeee
.

Most SARS officers are O'level &ND holders, few BScs from poor academic background unrelated to Crime Management, they only join SARS due to unemployment &no alternative, this goes to shows the way they relate with Suspects, b4 they even say jack they've beaten the hell outta'yu, so unprofessional, a simple job descriptions they can't follow, leaving their main job of anti-Robbery/kidnapping to fighting G-boyz, a job meant for cyber-crime Unit.


Unfortunately, Nigeria don't have the facilities&the experts to track-down or frustrate the activities of G.boyz even in the next 20yrs, EFCC sef na bizzy body agency, u can only get jailed if u no get LEVEL.

No, it's the duty of the Economic and financial crime commission (EFCC) and not the supposed duty of the Special anti robbery squad (SARS).

It is my business that you have to lie to justify evil.
If you must support fraud, do it yourself and don't use others(African-Americans).
What am I even saying, fraud is all about using other people unjustly, isn't it?

So do you prefer a robber with AK 47 or a robber with laptop? Since yahoo business came up, crime rate has reduced in my city. For over 3yrs now, you hardly hear gunshots unlike 10yrs ago where robbers block road in broad day light, Rob and shut innocent people. The later is better, you can only cry when they dupe you unlike the earlier where they will kill you and still rob you. Make una leave yahoo boys, 419 no start today. Election Campaign alone is yahoo business. They will promise you what you will never see so what is the difference?
are you saying that if you're stopped from stealing by cyber you'd pick up arms to block the street?
How about getting a legitimate job? Or starting out something genuine for your self?

It was not working because, if it does there will not be crimes in the first place. Countries that has enabling environment has very low crime rate.

i understand that bro.. but nothing can ever justify crime.
People who resort to crimes are not having it more difficult than people who chose to keep it legitimate no matter what. The only difference is that the criminals wanted a shorter way to success.

But you see we need to build a legacy we'd be proud of tomorrow. A story we'd be proud to tell our children in the future.

There should be some dignity in labour.
Success is something u accumulate over time, not something you amass overnight. That's the mentally this generation of Nigerians have lost.

They're all about make it quick.

Bro sorry to say this but country is dead. Everybody is just picking up his bags and baggages. We are just postponing the crashing date, there is no lagacy to leave in a flight that's about to crash. The best that could come out of it is that the pilot tried to keep the plane afloat with one engine.

I still maintain my position in this debate that cyber crime is better than kidnapping and armed robbery. At this stage, it impossible to eliminate crime and in fact its going get worst since, economy is getting worst. I tell you, cyber crime is a more peaceful crime that other beasty kind of crimes, let us just face reality.

Again, about short cut and working hard... Every road has a short cut even success itself. In Nigeria, the leaders have made it difficult to succeed by hardwork that's why they stick to politics and never want to leave power. Imagine going from Lagos to Abuja on gear one alone, you will end up burning all the fuel and you won't still get to Abuja that's the environment our leaders created. They did not even give us the option to change gear unlike, where you just board a flight and within 1hr you are there... That's the short cut.

They enjoy how we worship them because, they steal our money and intimidate us with it. On the other hand in order not to worship them, of course I have to make my own money and since there is no environment for that, I will have to look for shortcut. Since, I don't want to carry guns or Robb people I will still look for another short cut and just like that it goes to cyber crime. I am just emulating the mind of a yahoo boy... Why we found ourselves in this mess.

Like you said, no justification for crime.. But if you watch natgeowild you will see that God created animals to survive by all means irrespective of the consequences. Crime is crime but some crimes are much better than others

to be honest you made a very strong arguement here. granted..

But can you imagine a society where everyone has given up on doing legitimate jobs? Where everyone has chosen to resort to "lesser crimes" as you put it? What would the fate become?

You see many people have succeeded and are still succeeding in Nigeria.. eg check out the hardworking guys in the music industry, comedy, Nollywood. The honest traders in main market and alaba intl market. The numerous enterprising young Nigerians who despite all odds didn't give up on legitimate earnings..

You can give up on Nigeria, I won't blame you for that (I don't even have any faith in Nigeria too) but don't give up on doing what is right. Don't give up on legitimate means of livelihood because that is what that endures.. that is the wealth that lasts.
Like I said success is built one block over another.

And don't forget that the people Yahoo boys scam are humans too. They have feelings and they bleed too.
Some of them lose their life savings and commit suicide as a result. So you see the Cascade of reactions that could results from a supposedly simple internet scamming may end up taking lives and more

You are very right, I am not disputing the fact that legal doings are better. I am looking at it from a failed state just like a May day where dual engine has failed but you guys are still floating in the air. To be honest, if you tell your children that Nigeria will be better soon, that would be the greatest scam of the century. As you can see, I already lost hope in order to condition my mind on the next best alternative. What I want us to do now is to find a way to still stay afloat and escape before the bus crashes instead of killing ourselves inside the fuselage even before hitting the ground.

Well, I will not encourage anyone to go into cyber crime but just like the saying... Every disadvantage has an advantage. The advantage of cyber crime is just that it has reduced physical crime... Armed robbery and kidnapping. I understand the chain reaction where someone commits suicide bc he was duped but he has the option to live unlike armed robbery where you don't have an option. Watch the zenith bank robbery in Owerri, that man would not had died if he was duped but bc he was at the wrong place during robbery and he was shot.

Crime is crime but let the police go after armed men and kidnappers for now and leave yahoo boys alone pending when the economy gets better, that's my own opinion. Anyone a yahoo boy stole from will have a second chance to get his money back unlike armed robbers who steal and kills. This way we will have less fatal crimes in the society.
