This is a sad...I am a software consultants and anywhere I go...my laptop goes with me. Does that make me fraudulent. Secondly, I am a strong advocate of internet fraud and will never support anyone into it...There has to be a paradigm shift from these 'laptop' and criminal behaviour.
you're a "strong advocate of internet fraud"? Choose your words wisely

ok man. like i said i cant argue this thing. this is what makes me like the dream life. so i will acceot anything you say bro
I'm saying,cryptocurrency value goes up when more investors invest in it,so if most Yahoo boys join and invest in it then your own value you've invested in whatever cryptocurrency(probably alot in btc) will go up and you make more money bro.
I wish you more and more money Pioneer,Nothing Less.

relax, the average nigerian in those sites will scam u at the slightest opportunity

It's a pity how you think. What you don't even know how it works. If a company looking for a professional to hire for a job hires you, and you mess up the work, you don't get paid. But if you are good at what you do and always deliver in time, you will rated highly and more companies will hire you. It's that simple. Some of us have Top-Rated-Plus badges to our names!

It's like saying 90 percent of ladies with a smart phone are into prostitution.

Do yahoo boys use laptops, yes!
Does that make everyone with a laptop a yahoo boy. Hell no!

Why can't Nigerians understand these things? Is it so difficult?


The thing just weak me.
That's the same mindset with our Police Force. Like I said earlier a lot of orientation is needed.

If we still have such arguments at this point in time where teenagers are already doing great things freelancing abroad, then we have a long way to go.

This just shows our level of literacy to the tech world.

I don't know oo, a girl came to visit us last week, same day a received a new Payoneer prepaid card, and I'm a guy who's always on my laptop dey do my freelancing jejely, all her thoughts was that I'm a scammer. Same applies to everyone around me, a police man even accused me of being a scammer in front of my dad after seeing payout notification on my email.
Na wa ooo, one shouldn't be skeptical to divulge what one does if legit though. You probably should have enlightened that stark illiterate of a man.

Laptop+ iPhone+ Dreadlocks+ Skinny pants+ Mannerlessness- A Job =Yahoo and Fraud.

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 dont have to bother yourself explaining to people who refuse to be convinced.
Ignorance is expensive.

I work for a mainstream bank, and for the past 600days today is the first day I am working out of the office.
I understand that people may suspect how I am always at home with MacBook, not going anywhere. But that's their wahala.

I know the country I am in, I don't engage with anyone or anything that has to do with crime. Even if na my own brother I will cut him off.
I keep my records and transactions clean. And every single time I have been accosted by a police officer, I have my ID card to show. If dem no believe I will call my boss.

I know not every legit youth might have the privilege I have, but I didn't just magically start working for a bank. It was something I consciously worked towards.

The advice I will give anyone with virtuous ambition is to cut off anyone or anything that's a bad influence on your reputation, surround yourself with people smarter than you. It will only be a matter of time before you're uplifted, all you need to do is focus and keep at it against all odds.
And do not waste your time with things that would not yield positive result or things with dire consequences.

I don't have the power to change the mindset of everyone in Nigeria, but I have total control over my own mindset. Asides from Govt failure, This 9ja is only as hard as you make it for yourself.

Don't stress yourself trying to explain yourself and they type of work you do to such people.

First of all, they will assume whatever they want to assume and all your explanations will amount to nothing in their ears.

Secondly, so many Nigerians are just simply dümb. A dümb person is always looking for an easy way out and a quick result. That's why they will rather believe that you are into Yahoo rather than believing that you are into coding.

Thr kind of environment we find ourselves.

A friend was picked up by SARS back then, they found 5 laptops, routers, mi-fi etc.

They rejoiced they have caught yahoo boy, mean while, my friend works with some international organization in the country.

They asked for 200k naira from him, he refused and they took him to their headquarters, he came out with SARS commander, the crooks spent the night in their open air cell.
