How to identify a “Yahoo” boy.

For people that don’t know, “Yahoo boys” is the nickname used to identify fraudsters in Nigeria. While Yahoo is illegal and we are 100% against it, it is still very common in the society. And frankly, for criminals that they are, they’re way too easy to spot. ?

Here are some key things to notice if you’re trying to identify a potential Yahoo boy :

 1. Oversized jeans with ridiculous designs.

The part that gets to me the most is the fact that they’ll sag it till trouser starts sweeping the floor. ?

 2. Wearing socks everywhere

Especially these particular socks you’re looking at. Na their uniform, them fit wear am inside rain. ?

 3. Fake Gucci/ LV slides

I don’t know their connection with Gucci or LV but that’s their go-to brand, and it’s always fake. ?

 4. Loud portable speakers

This one is particularly annoying because they’re always playing it too loud and forcing you to listen to trap songs that they can’t even sing along too. ?

 5. Rosary beads

Apparently this is a new addition to their yahoo drip because lately you’ll just see them wearing it on their necks for no reason. It’s either this or a Cuban chain if they’re rich. ?

If you read this and chuckled, it means I’m right and you enjoyed this ?. So stay and read more listicles like this here.
