Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki says internet fraudsters popularly referred to as ‘Yahoo Boys’ must be very brilliant to dupe people and their brilliance can be redirected to a better cause.According to the governor, instead of condemning cyber fraud, the root cause should be addressed just like in the case of human trafficking.“I am concerned. Cyber fraud and Yahoo culture are big issues. I am calling on everyone to please send as much information as you can to my office.
“Let’s see how we can correct it because these children must be very brilliant. The kind of things they do, how they hack into other people’s accounts. How do we re-direct that thinking into something more positive?.” Governor Obaseki while seeking re-election two years ago disclosed plans to train repentant internet fraudsters otherwise called ‘yahoo boys’ on advanced Information and Communication Technology as well as other vocational skills in his proposed technology park in the state.
Rubbish.. Does that ... Let me just keep reading stupid comments supporting the man
Or they redirect yours negatively positive ba.
Your government is being controlled by yahoo boys.
Redirect indeed
With the use of juju! No be juju be that?🙄🙄🙄
Mmm read the article and I must say he got a frigging 🅿oint rt.. Let them do that and pay them well cos its also a well paid job else where, cos really those boys don't mind stepping out legit especially if they are still stepping out in a benz & ish... Yala mean😉
I quite agree
stealing is stealing. This is not brilliancy
Realistic approach to solving the problem.
Nice idea first citizen of Edo
Give them loans For them to use and boost update
Negative intelligence and brilliance. It is a no no. The only solution is for govt to creat jobs to engage all youths
Quite true. Just mirror the thought process and channel their energy to positive things that equally reward effort invested too.
Even Yahoo boys de here de form gentlemen 😂😂 We too de hide things for this country
They are not brilliant Oga sir! Most of them are into ritual killings.
Let's also redirect the brilliance of the money ritualists that have now ravenously taken over Edo.......If only you know what this 'become a millionaire without lifting a finger' syndrome will result into in Nigeria. This is only introductory. Shame!
It is why Edo is their headquarters. Good luck with their unscrupulous brilliance. Even pastors attack other pastors that call out these rogues because everyone including the government is benefitting from this. They have now graduated as money ritualists.....Nonsense!
You can take the boy of the street, but you can never never take the street of the boy.
I don't think he's talking about the Yahoo boys....the real brilliant Yahoo boys are the politicians
This why America, China and Russia is strong today cos wen they capture such people they make use of what they have in their brain. Cos is easy to hack into someone privacy
Raw
Talk's cheap. Fvcking cheap. Man's on loud
They are not brilliant Sir, they are rather serious and result oriented in the wrong. Policies should be drawn to encourage those who do the right thing in Nigeria to discourage people from doing the wrongs. We should think of the bigger picture.
You have sense oga my of them hold the destiny of this country but due to bad governance they don't have a way to showcase it.
Empty pretentious talk by mr governor, now, where have been that you are just knowing that u have to redirect their intelligence, is dt wat u call intelligence money ritual? When you refuse to pay salaries or improve d parents salaries wat the u expect? Rippling effect of course,
Another round of rehabilitating blood hungry criminals into innocent people again? Why are our politicians so blind like this? Imagine if this was a protest stage against an ill-treatment, they would have pay deaf ear to it.
A lot of you out here thinking intelligence is speaking or writing English. To pull off advanced fee fraud you can’t be stupid/dumb and succeed. Obaseki is right on this one. After all bandit are habilitated into society. 🚶🏼♂️
Yes Obaseki nice talk 🦜 but help to empower their ideas and reduce agender
Sorry I think you didn't get what he said redirect their thinking
Can you give the criteria in which you find them being brilliant?
How can you help those who still believe in good governance and legal dealing? More good people will surely do Yahoo when you keep talking and do less to improve general well-being of the citizens, honestly, except for strong faith,this economy promotes criminality.
God them your bank account to practice.
This man, Obaseki is in his right senses! These are the people we need at the corridors of power. Harness these yahoo boys, rehabilitate, and empower them in order to enhance strong cyber community that will boost our economy ICT wise.
Oga governor, there is no brilliance in looking for people's money, stealing it and spending frivolities it on frivolity. The government should look for ways to empower them by giving them loans so they can use their talent.
Mr Governor Godwin Obaseki is a Yahoo Yahoo governor
Not all of them. Without smoking India hemp and other kinds of drugs, many of them are nothing but yoyo, hence, the introduction of their rituals called Yahoo plus and so on.
You're absolutely right GovernorObaseki
🙄
On what ways can we redirect their thinking?
No sir. They're not brilliant. It's their victims that are greedy. And please, never publicly encourage criminals with any form of commendation.
Someone is thinking...the rest want to throw away the baby and the bath water.
His not taking side on yahoo boys o don't get it wrong
I agree.
Good Sir
....but not yahoo plus known as ritualist
That's a OfficialPDPNig governor speaking, you don't destroy what you don't comprehend
Mumu man😀😆 how can you redirect thieves that defraud people.
Like seriously? Such a funny thought
Agreed
You are right, we need to grader them together and tap their knowledge toward for the development of the nation.
Now someone is talking sense.. Yahoo is knowledge misdirected, how many Bsc Computer, PhD computer can do what dey did.
Necessity is the mother of invention,na hunger give them that intelligence and desire to be the best make them go diabolic.
You r redirecting their thinking without job
They actually are brilliant for them to convince a total stranger to transfer foreign currency to them. As long as they will not be owed salary I’m sure they will come clean
Same thin i was tellin a frnd. There ar sum intelligent Yahoo guys i’m not talkin abt Ritualists i’m talkin abt those dat hacks & spams. D same brain they used to do those things can b used for legal stuff. But will it work whn d modafuckas SARS seen any1 wit laptop as Yahoo boys
Maybe, just maybe!
That virus in nigeria. Is greater than world covid. And this greedy govement can not vaccinate it because them too are elders virus. Until nigeria look into what the house of reps and senate are doing or collect such amount as wages nigeria will never Be Well
That's a nice thought...if they can Nigeria will be bless beyond
GovernorObaseki You are the first governor who has thought of using 'Bright minds'to achieve a goal. The US & British we look up to for solutions did same. But our Government won't learn this,they prefer tagging their citizens with Evil,while they claim to be Saints.
Yahoo boys are computer literate, they can work in a company as store man, keeping records , they can be graphical designer because most of them edits documents, pictures etc
sadly True
There’s nothing brilliant about what they do. Any fool can run romance scams or obtain money under false pretense. People should dead this talk and stop glorifying criminals.
You're absolutely right Sir
See leader here
😂😂😂
This is what they are into. Hacking into people's Facebook account and scamming them. Please beware of them.
You can appoint them as members of your cabinet.
How far governor, fix Benin/Auchi road 🛣️ first.
Totally agree
Yahoo boys of the old - Fred Ajedua and co. - were brilliant. These ones using rituals are dull.
Now yuh kwn?
There are no greater yahoo boys than our politicians.
Invite them and they yahoo ur government 😆, never joke with this guy's oh
His lips are very dry because is very high on natural green weed
Obaseki have you ever heard of 'Yahoo Plus' doing Yahoo is far more than Only being Brilliant.
Only brilliant youth do yahoo , even to do 419 you must be brilliant, the problem is when people are idle with their intelligent they will start to think evil, the yahoo plus is as a result of politicians who are doing ritual killings and people are swing it openly
True talk
But, he is right, if not that the NIGERIA politicians words stop at the realm of talk. * No action.
Wisdom obaseki🙌 They should just form association of Yahoo boys (AYB) Edo as headquarters 🤔
That’s what I’m saying stop arresting and enriching those guys in the force, orientate this people and make use of the brains
‘Yahoo Boys’ Must Be Brilliant, We Need To Redirect Their Thinking Positively – Gov Obaseki Translation: Govt: Show us how u do it and let's up the Stakes.. Should be worth while for both parties.
Positive thinking
Redirecting their thinking may be difficult due to the rituals factor
This one dn take weed again.... Man dn fail for edo All progress done under Oshio baba have disappeared.... Na Yahoo Boys him want technocrat now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stupid man all the bunch of first class graduates graduating from Uniben every year he has not thought of something meaningful to offer them na yahoo boys u redirect their thinking. I don't know why this man enjoys wasting his time and efforts on worthless things.
To an extent, you are right. But i think their brilliance need to be seen in their way of life too. They have sense to scam, but lack sense to lead a meaningful & sensible life.
What a pity, drug dealers, terrorist, arm robbers are also brilliant
Don't blame the youth. Morals must come from elders and leaders, good deeds, not empty talk.
Visionless type of leader. Ordinary men on yhe streets know what you just said and had been called out but none of them (elites) listened. It says one thing, the foolish among us are leading because the wise are scared of the evil they commits enroute to power.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS ADVOCATED, INSTEAD OF THROWING THE YOUNG GENERALIZATION IN THE PRISON WHILE THE OLD CORRUPT LEADERS ARE ENJOYING IMMUNITY. THANK U GOV. DO WELL TO FOLLOW UP. A NATION WHERE MAJORITY OF YOUNG GENERATION ARE IN PRISON IS DOOMED.
This one Don sniff 1kg=7 million
What abt yahoo plus turn ritualists?
Uncle na written format, some of them can’t read well. Copy and paste Omo
What about the ones with 'Plus' as part of thier title..
No be juju be that
Escobar and chapo wey brilliant too
He doesn't know the difference between being brilliant and being cunning.
The man is partially correct
Yes they are brilliant but in time of criminality
In the book of Nigeria, chapter 12 vs 17🤣🤣🤣
Most of this people are dummies imagine governor said this...
You are a great man for this thinking
The most useless governor in south south.
Yeah we making billions out of it and not even Nigerians can advice us because we didn't do money ritual.
Is your son a yahoo boy
