Yahoo Boys Are Geniuses, They Need Redirection, Not Condemnation – Peter Obi

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has described internet fraudsters, commonly known as “Yahoo boys,” as talented individuals who need proper guidance instead of condemnation.

‎Obi emphasized that these individuals are creatives who lack proper direction, adding that they could contribute to innovation and national development.

‎

‎Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State on Saturday, he highlighted that while money is necessary, true wealth is based on integrity, character and purpose.

‎

‎Obi said wealth should uplift individuals and society by promoting education, reducing poverty and creating opportunities for dignified lives.

‎

‎“Some of our so-called Yahoo boys are geniuses who need redirection, not condemnation.

“Their creativity and courage, if properly guided, can drive innovation and national development.

‎

‎“Real wealth uplifts both the individual and society, promotes education, reduces poverty, and creates opportunities for others to live dignified lives,” he said.
