“Just so you know, Yahoo boys are armed robbers. Armed with computers harming people and co operations. So please file them next to drug dealers, thieves, money launderers e.t.c. they don’t deserve to be glorified praised or emulated. We need this reality checked.
For those that are idolizing yahoo boys, that is not the Nigerian dream. That is pure fraud! Imagine you wake up in the morning & your life savings are gone only to be used to pop champagne and drive cars and nurture bad habits. Authorities must nip this trend in the Bud, fast!”

“People steal and then turn around to blame the government for making them criminals.
Anyone that defends a criminal is a criminal and while we have a list for people advocating rape culture, we should also have one for such people.”
