‘Yahoo Money Has Finished, Learn Skill Before You Lose Everything’ – Gehgeh Warns Fraudsters

Nigerian financial commentator Gehgeh has warned former internet fraudsters to abandon their illegal activities and learn legitimate skills, saying they risk losing everything if they continue depending on a lifestyle they can no longer afford.

Gehgeh, who referred to the former fraudsters as “Oldtakers”, said some young men who previously made money through internet fraud had built houses, bought cars and started families but were now struggling financially after their fortunes collapsed.

In a video, he claimed that three or four young men he personally knew in his community had suffered mental breakdowns after losing the money they once made.

He attributed their struggles partly to the pressure of maintaining lifestyles they could no longer afford. He therefore urged young men between the ages of 19 and 30 to consider starting their lives afresh.

“If you be boy, you don do yahoo before, you use am build house and buy car but now you no get money again, this go help you start your life afresh,” he said.

Gehgeh warned that some former internet fraudsters had become so dependent on the illegal activity that they neglected other talents and skills, leaving them without alternatives when the money stopped coming.

He also cautioned that some turn to drugs to escape the pressure of their financial struggles.

“Instead of all this, learn another skill. You never fail for life,” he advised.
