Yahoo Boy /jɑːˈhuː,ja-bɔɪ/. noun: A person (almost always male) who commits internet fraud. e.g. That Yahoo Boy just received $10,000 dollars from his Oyibo Maga.
Nigeria has an international reputation
for having more princes in distress than actual thrones in the country.
There’s also the most recent call to help bring our Nigerian astronaut home from space.
Because our Nigerian police force cares
so much about our reputation abroad, they are fighting the battle from
the roots, on streets across Nigeria. So they are either stopping you on
the road, whether you are driving or trekking, or bursting into your
room in the middle of the night.
This is how Nigerian policemen identify Yahoo Boys.
1. Bling
It doesn’t matter that the gold chain is most likely not real gold. Nope. You must settle or reach station.

“Eyys. Come here. Is there laptop inside
your bag? Where is the receipt? Are you carrying it around so you can
quickly do the wire?”
3. Pedestrian with iPhone 6.

It isn’t your parent’s car, then where
did you get money to buy it? And did anybody ask you whether you have a
good job or not? Are the papers of the car even original or you
downloaded it from the internet?
5. Once they see an international number on your phone.

number when you’ve not finished talking to people in Nigeria? Whose

and you don’t have office? Is your work on the road or on your laptop?
8. When they see anything Western Union on your body.
So you’ve been doing Yahoo to the extent that they’ve given you souvenir as regular customer abi?
