“Where’s religion in Nigeria now going?” Muslim cleric advises ‘Yahoo boys’ on how to spend their money

A Nigerian Muslim cleric has advised fraudsters well known as ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ boys in the country on how to spend their money gotten from their illegal activities.

In a short video that was posted by one Dauda Abdullahi, an imam was captured giving a lecture at an event.

However, his words had many dropping their jaws, giving an extensive lecture, the cleric advised ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ boys to not use all their money gotten from their fraudulent activities to lodge in a hotel.

Instead, using $50 which he noted to be N40k in Nigerian, as an example, the cleric stated that out of the N40k, N30k should be spent on Sobun (Islamic rites).

He added that N3k should be used on data subscription, N1k should be used for giving alms and the remaining N6k should be used for the upkeep of the fraudster until the Sobun works again for him and he sees another money.

Reactions: Shey na lecture be this?

The video had many social media users firing words at the Muslim cleric as many questioned if he truly was an Imam. See some comments below;

“Ladies, if you are not contented, they will use you” – Lady narrates how ‘Yahoo boys’ almost implicated her

Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady narrated how she sat with fraudsters popularly called ‘Yahoo Yahoo boys’ on a public bus and was almost implicated.

In a series of tweets that were posted by the young woman identified as Hafeezah, on her way to Iloring from Ibadan, a man who sat beside her gave her his iPhone when they were stopped by the police.

She further shared that the guy begged her to also claim his bag as hers if she was asked by the police officer, but she refused, and when the policeman approached to ask who owns the bag she said it wasn’t hers to her greatest belief the guy also denied it.
