Sammy West, a brother to Nollywood star Regina Daniels, received heavy criticism after making a claim for why people go into internet fraud known in some quarters as ‘Yahoo Yahoo’.
“Yahoo yahoo” is a financial crime mainly carried out on the cyberspace by some Nigerian youths commonly referred to as the “Yahoo Boys”.
For some weeks now, the social media region has been rife with the debate of whether the cybercrime is truly an actual crime.
Sammy gave his opinion about the topic in a tweet captured on his Instagram story, where he argued that the harsh economic climate in Nigeria forced a lot of people into internet fraud.
In his words:
“Tbh, what is yahoo compared to government looting? Have you ever thought of what the country would be like if there was no means to survive? Police go resign from force, In fact every force personnel go resign. It’d be a war zone with robbery & kidnap, so y’al should be greatful”
Angry fans took to social media, and attacked Sammy for glorifying what is wrong in society.
