Influencer blasts ‘yahoo boys’ and ‘yahoo girl’ after scam video goes viral

A popular influencer has labeled a group of ‘yahoo boys‘ and a ‘yahoo girl‘ as “thieves with no future ambition” after a video of them scamming a foreigner went viral online.

The influencer shared his thoughts in a post on X (formerly Twitter), condemning those involved in the scam.

He described them as a group of thieves with no plans for the future.

He specifically commented on the young woman in the video, stating that she might be someone’s future wife, but has clearly made a misguided choice at such a young age.

In his post, he wrote: “Look at them. A bunch of young thieves with no future ambition. These are the people some girls are calling their spec. And see the girl with them—someone’s future wife. Shame of a generation. End.”

In the video, ten ‘yahoo boys’ are seen seated and listening to the conversation between the young woman and the foreigner on the phone.

As the video spread online, concerned viewers flooded the comment section to share their thoughts.
