Nigerian rapper "Olamide" in his twitter page took reacts to the news of people condemning yahoo boys online after Efcc Arrested 12 yahoo boys at Club 57
Olamide is right on this one I'm not even a big fan balling with or benefitting from yahoo boys and still vilifying them is the highest height of hypocrisy that's why I pity some of the girlfriends of the diabolical ones or the ritualists who sacrifice these girls for hammer money ritual because they are unusually loyal to them...with that being said I think the menace of internet fraud needs to be nipped in the bud but without alternative measures being put in place in the present day Nigeria I personal believe we are inviting mind blowing evil to our doorsteps...i have this saying to each is own and if God butter your bread in Nigeria today don't always be on the high horse and knock off people crawling,walking or even finding it hard to stand.
This country is a mess nothing hardly works,infrastructures dead or decayed social welfare is like an alien word to us now corruption is everywhere and the place where it is supposed to be the lowest which is in government is where you have it the most tell me why there wont be crimes even in developed countries of the world there is crime everywhere how do you expect a country like Nigeria which has been a third world country since 1914 to be a haven a state of utopia when its abundant resources and in the hands of a few and not being properly utilized...one thing people fail to take cognizance of when the mostly shout yahoo is a crime which although it is,in real truth is our population they say we are 150m lets say we are 120 self,lets compare our unemployed or underemployed citizens to that number who ironically are mostly youths we have maybe 50m in that category compare that stats with countries like the UK,Ghana,south Africa,Togo,the civ,Switzerland,Netherlands and so on whose total population is under that 50m and tell me if the rate of people going into crime wont differ...second let's look at our higher institutions the university for instance how many graduates do we churn out yearly? 100th of thousands maybe 500 what's the percent of the lucky absorbed ones lets say being generous 20% then we have 200,000 youths able bodied,smart,intelligent roaming the streets some will say yeah go into Agriculture are there free lands?

No!even the the real farmers are complaining because of government policies and incentives which I not favorable bank loans dont even talk bout it!talking of being self employed most people who aren't educated are already occupying that position,the traders,the artisans,the business people that area is congested on its own so logically that area can't absorb our teeming educated population let's look at some of the FG job's advertised some years back our many of the unemployed citizens have gotten jobs from FIRs,to FCSC,NRC,NIA,the police recruitment has it been completed by now the Npower paying the stipends 30k is it well runned!wasn't the last selection even marred with irregularities and manipulations then who are we deceiving?we dont have the infrastructures to even help SMes to survive and the govt policies to write home about some people would tell you we can change our through protests so that we can be used for target practice,elections that has already been concluded before it starts only a real revolution can change this country...a lot of people in their late 20s,early and mid 30s are still living with their parents why cos of the economic situation of the country unless you're rich or comfortable to some extent dont even think bout getting married if you practice self love and they say dignity in labor there is no dignity in labor in Nigeria if you labor and you're wretched you will get deprived of your rights...i e .teachers,public and civil servants if you do menial jobs people will look down on you step on you cos ours is a materialistic society if you are not rich you're a nobody you're a lesser man few people would want to associate with you it's a feeling of being a failure..and when you see some men having billions in their bank accounts for just being in government or politics some people lose it altogether and that's why we have the get rich quick syndrome in Nigeria today...
we should be careful what we wish for a lot of boys out there are desperate and if the soft crimes like yahoo is no more available then harder ones become desirable not all of us have restraints and have limits so we can always have days we sleep more with our two eyes closed and we wont have to be waylaid when we are coming back from our places of daily bread!the government should see this as a wake up call and provide substitutes for this soft criminals and stop given them excuses and stop making people apologetic to their cause even if it's underpaid jobs let be available and in multitudes it is doable let's engage our youths in productive enterprises and lets awaken the Nigerian spirits in them and bring back the culture of hard work in our country!N.B.Not all scammers are Nigerians you have them in a number of African countries Ghana,Senegal,SA and even in Asia,North America and Europe pretending as Nigerians,colouring our national image as a country of fraud to the world..
Times are hard and an hungry man is a angry man with a dead conscience the government should give the Nigerian Youths a better deal.
