The reason might be that Yahoo boys actually use laptop.

SatanBoss:
90% of nigerians with laptop are into yahoo

Lol, 90% of Nigerians with laptops use it for the main purpose of watching movies.

If you have dreads, possess flashy phones, wear trendy clothes, have laptop, you're a potential Yahoo boy. Nigeria and nigerians made it so.

Good evening, I wrote this because I am just tired to keep explaining the kind of work laptop does to people around.

Why is it that people always think negatively about those using Laptop? I am a programmer that work remotely from home but whenever people come around the first thing they ask is "Am I also into yahoo?" I will have to sit them down to start explaining what programming job entails.

Honestly, it is really frustrating! Please why did people usually have this negative thought to those innocent programmers doing their legit job?

You knew who you're, you also knew what you do I don't think you owe anyone an explanation!

Minds has been stereotyped that way.


My own question is “why are young boys of these days thinking yahoo is the only way to blow financially?

They don’t want to acquire skills , go into trading or even do any job to earn salary.

And when they have successfully wasted their twenties pursuing this yet to come wealth and are realizing the truth even though they won’t admit at it. They find it so difficult to bend.

They see themselves so big to descend to learn a trade or skill.

Where's Seun in all these you listed? Where's Linda Ikeji there?

My point is, the world has changed. The trade is now online — it's called e-commerce, minimportation, and dropshipping.

Some of the jobs can now be done from home without going to the office because offices are now in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere!

The best-selling skills in today's world are the ones that can allow you to work from anywhere you are, including your home. Examples are programming, copywriting, graphic designing, cloud computing, data analysis, financial market analysis and trading — quant traders are paid up to $1m per annum.

My point is this, don't look at the world with a 19th-century lens in the 21st century digitalized economy.

While there are many fraudsters, don't conclude that anyone not living a 19th or 20th century lifestyle (commuting to work every day) is a fraudster.

Let me ask you a question: Your great grandfather and possibly your grand father were probably farmers. When your dad (or grandfather) left farming and went to the city in search of white collar jobs, did your great grandfather call him a criminal for realizing the industrial revolution and leaving for the city? I'm sure that with the sudden upsurge in rural-urban migration then, there must have been an increase in highway robbery! But did our great grandfathers tag our dads and grandads highway robbers for leaving to go and work in the cities simply because of the increase in highway robbery?

A similar thing is happening now — we're in a digital revolution. A lot of things can now be done online — whether it's trading or working for a company. A trader can have his shop online, and make sales online. Similarly, a corporate worker can access his company's office online. Even self employed professionals like myself have our offices online and can access them from anywhere we are.

If our great grandfathers didn't tag our fathers and grandfathers highway robbers because of the increase in highway robbery then, tagging anyone who works online from home using laptops and other digital gadgets fraudsters because of the high rate of online fraud simply shows that our great grandfathers were smarter than us! At least, they could tell that the world had changed from what they were used to.

We are witnessing a digital revolution. Smart people are learning the skills needed in today's world and are adapting to the digitalized 21st century economy.

Maybe you consider changing your perspectives. Cheers!

I'm tired of explaining. I just accept and move on.

You right. I have been working remotely for more than a year. I don't bother explaining. I just accept what ever name and move on

Umar1968:

It's always painful seeing one's reputation dragged in the mud. I'm sure you won't like to be tagged an armed robber in your community. It doesn't take much for a lot people to believe it, and don't joke with the power stupid people in large numbers

It's caused by a sheer ignorance, please guys avoid carrying laptops around as much as possible. Leave your laptops at your work place or at home. It's who that's alive that uses a laptop and because of police ineptitude behavior, they can't differentiate between genuine computer users and yahoo boys.

Nigerian mentality

No it is just Nigerian mentality, it has to do with perception and view of people. Am sure the writer may be guilty of judging people unknowingly. For example if a guy sees his girlfriend with another guy, the first thing that comes to mind is cheating. Some may say it is a different thing entirely however the bone of contention is perceived perception of a thing

I WIL RESPOND TO YOU LATER

It is because of primitive mentality, Sorry but Nigeria is filled with educated illiterates.

Same question I was asking earlier today.....

It can't be religion,
You are not religious yet your comments are childish at best,
You are the reflection of your society

It's illiteracy + poverty
Look at this lockdown for example where the world was forced to work from home, how was that possible without laptops?
In a country with extreme poverty, owning a laptop is akin to owning a good phone,
You become a target to kidnappers, envious citizens and ofcourse, the police

A yahoo boy rarely use laptop .. and most of y’all are disguising with programming and graphics bullsht.God no your address

Majority of Nigerians are suffering today because the information they need can only obtain by using laptop.

In the market of internet smart phone still a toddler.

We that has been online before smart phone come out knew level it's push us to.

Many youths started having access to Internet from smart phone, so they believe making use of laptop is straight way to fraud.

I start my journey into internet with Windows XP desktop, from IBM then come HP, before laptop reaches be Africa early year 2000.

My friend keep moving forward without minding those of your friend. You don't have the same destination with them.

Remember in every technology, Nigerians carry last.

Nigeria is among last country in West Africa that have access to Mobil phone.
Apart from Ghana in 2007, other countries in West Africa has started using prepaid meter since 1997. But it's still a politics in Nigeria.
All countries in West Africa now are making use of Mobil money transfer through networks companies in their country with money boot station in every street, yet is about to start in Nigeria, even the POS operators risk kill by the same Nigerian whom believe I their right to steal.

Nigeria stated having access to debite card at end of Obasanjo regime while others countries in West Africa then has been using it.

Former Ghana president advise citizens to buy more laptop so they can do some of their banking thing online while calling bank customer care to reduce crowdy in the bank, in Nigeria police and individuals see laptop as omen, it there no Ghanian fraudster using laptop.

The problem of Nigerians are envy, poknosing, over religious yet we miss road to heaven.

Today in Gambia citizens has started using electric car for Taxi, is yet to come to Nigeria public, when it reaches Nigeria we will start hearing all mane of crime both true and false from police and individuals as if is first time of EV coming to Africa.

Other countries are using IPPS to generate Electricity today, Nigeria just tested it, and all they produce is 50MW and it was celebrate, why Ghana has 11 IPPS yet they didn't celebrate it because that's reasons they vote the government.

Nigeria is always back in accessing technology yet we make highest noise and poknosing than any nation in the world.

Your case is like that of a drug lord and chemistry lab. To a drug lord, the only thing that can be done in a chemistry lab is to cook hard drugs, and to you, the only way to make money online is fraud.

A drug lord doesn't know that it's easier and more financially rewarding to manufacture paracetamol, metronidazole, and other normal dugs used by many people every day than to cook hard drugs. I pity you guys — if only you know that you can easily make 7-8digits per month (many programmers are making such) legitimately if you put your God-given talents to good use. God help you.

E don tire me self as in people go just dey shout boss boss come teach me work na!

Especially the illitrates.
