Nigeria students stay away from yahoo yahoo and Nigeria politicians should stay away from stealing,looting and corruption.

Why do we always ignore the bigger picture in this country?

Is impersonation, love scams and other menial cyber crimes the only finicial and economic crime?

What about monopoly? Moneylaundering? Ponzi schemes? Inflation? Bribery? Breach of trust and agreement? Corruption? Illegal charges and practices from banks?terrorist financing? tax evasion? embezzlement? forgery? counterfeiting?

So many stupid things going on in this country that fall within Grey areas in this country.

My UBA bank keeps deducting 52 naira for all cards I've used and reported stolen or naira.
I've reported this issue but nothing is done against it.

Is this how you wanna fix the economy? By concentrating 95% of your resources and energy on petty fraudsters?

We're trying so hard to keep up with the pace of USA, UK, CANADA, NORWAY, SWITZERLAND and a host of other countries in battling financial and economic crimes but the truth is, even our fight is highly flawed.

Let us pause for a while, look at the bigger picture and go back to the drawing book.

In as much as ur take on yahoo yahoo is great
I am thrilled at how this politically correct statement has gained traction on our minds
The sentence of HOLDING OUR LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE
how do u do that
If u give me a signed cheque
Do u hope I don't clean out ur account wen u know I may or may not
My point is
U gave the leaders immunity clause
And expect them to not spend all the allocation
So how do u hold a man accountable when he has immunity clause and has the power to erase it if he has second term
And even if he doesn't
He now has enough money to hire SANs to purse his case or belongs to a ruling party which won't want to go after him

opebiboy:
no clean way to make money. Money itself is fraud. Money should be abolished. Case solved

You have any school certificates at all? hope you understand exactly what I mean

LoL this guy here is a fool, WHO YOU WAN HOLD ?

....if lack of jobs is the cause of the Yahoo boys syndrome why are youths in poorer countries with worst economic situations compared to Nigeria not engaged in internet fraud like that of Nigeria. Some people with average paying jobs still see the yahoo fraud as lucrative, unemployment is not an excuse because there are legitimate ways to put in your IT skills e.g freelancing not Internet fraud...it's the "get rich fast mentality" that is the cause...Our government is not doing good but that shouldn't be an excuse for engaging in crime...there is no difference between internet fraud and stealing that's why they are treated as thieves anywhere in the world ...

Oloriburuku people, they don't care about the poor masses trying to survive the useless country they created by looting all the wealth meant for the masses. Millions of graduates with hundreds of jobs available and legit way sef no dey again, dey want make people commit suicide finish, e no possible!

If no be for the street, boys for dey beg and na wetin dey want be that but we sef no gree.

My billionaire uncle is still mad at me because unlike other youths in my family I've never called him to beg for one naira or carry certificate go hin company.

I am sure you were not blind when it was reported here that a money launderer and a ponzi scammer was arrested. I am sure you will blind to that part so you can accuse them. EFCC will catch you one day.

ThatFairGuy:
Cutting off the head isn't solution to headache. You are making other people to cry by rubbing them off their hard earned money and tarnishing the images of our dear country..... Do you know the meaning of NEMESIS.. Remember about your posterity, don't let them curse you while they reaps what you are sowing now...

opebiboy:
good for him and his mom. He stole from someone many years ago by lying that 100k will buy what was actually worth 35k. So you see he is also a thief. The mom cheats people where she sells tomatoes. They both deserve to die

opebiboy:
shut up your mouth you criminal. Make ogun strike you there. Yahoo is here to stay and more street boys are coming up. Jealous blind all of una. Americans and europeans are the biggest fraudsters, we didnt invent it.

If our government weren't asleep on their watch, they will realize that yahoo yahoo is the least of the social vices plaguing these untrained youths of nowadays. Number one problem is drug abuse. The drug culture is spreading like wild fire among teens and tertiary students. Many of them are now on one drug or another, from weed, to sniff, to heroine, you name it. They even devised new slangs to cover it up; you will hear them say things like "loud". Worst part is it's not just a boys thing anymore, even girls are involved in all this rubbish now. From drugs to alcoholism to night life craze. "Druggies" everywhere. The society is raising a generation of druggists that are useless to themselves and useless to society. Lazy and irresponsible youths looking for the easy way out, wanting to live large by stealing, youths that think being a crook means you're sharp. That's what is pushing them to more crime. Then another problem is the celeb culture that is pushing them to embrace the lives of a criminal, because lots of all these Nigeria celebs portray a criminal lifestyle to the youths and they are embracing it in the name of being fans. Another major problem is foolishness. Many youths today are just inherently foolish, because many of them lack proper home training and exposure. The other day I was driving and saw 2 young teen boys at the bus stop standing in the rain just directly in front of 2 large transformers that were exposed. Now if they get electrocuted, some people will blame village people, but the problem is many of the teens of today are so foolish that they can't even recognize danger if it was standing right in front of their faces. They don't know the difference between bold and stupidity. A cockroach that jumps on me is not bold, that cockroach is stupid because I will kill it. Same way they jump on internet crime thinking they are sharp, but they are not sharp, they are just fortunate they are dealing with stupid-er people.

nobody is innocent. Stop talking like an idiot. We are all criminals and sinners protecting our selfish interest

Nah ogun will kill your Uncle .. I also have useless people from world bank in my family too ogun kill them all , we work we pray we party hard

Yankiss:
No sir. I am an illiterate.

Bonapart:
If they don't listen they will end up in jail or 6feet below

Yankiss:
You are right my brother. But citizen mass action has crippled and toppled irresponsible systems worldwide. Nigerians are too docile. Mass civil disobedience will bring down this irresponsible system. Look at Sudan, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, etc. The list is endless. We just are too engrossed in thinking out how to make it fraudulently that are house is on fire.

but u are a thief yourself na, lying to make money. You are a liar. No honest person in this life. Jealous bastard!

chidi2pus:


Did you even bother to read and understand?

I'm talking about statistics and how they should increase their efficiency in policing economic and financial crimes.

You're here on nairaland whining about how your mum hasn't been paid salary by Governor Amosun, while being ignorant of the fact that your mum is even a victim of economic/financial crime.

Little wonder your view is myopic.

tiredoflife:


Nothing really happened in those countries
There is no change.
The system is still the same
Is it Egypt that has voted for their President to stay till 2030
Or Sudan that has agreed that the same generals stays till 3yrs for a transition
Is it Tunisia that started the Arab spring and still the same
Or Algeria that the sick President just stepped down
In all these nations
The constitution remains the same
No matter the mass protest
If u don't change the constitution
U are just replacing the same people with the same people

The guy above me is onto Yahoo Yahoo or what? Nigeria is dysfunctional but internet fraud is not the answer. We should learn to hold our leaders accountable. Youths of unilag were among those that forced IBB out of govt when he lost touch with the masses. Political awareness and responsible citizenship will yield more dividend than Yahoo.
