A Nigerian woman has highlighted the dangers of Yahoo culture, calling it one of the country’s biggest problems.
Speaking on social media, she said the practice encourages drug use among young men, who rely on substances to maintain online hustles and stay alert.
She also warned that many youths prioritise flashy lifestyles over sustainable investments, creating a repetitive cycle of earning, spending, and starting over that stalls progress.
The woman contrasted today’s generation with previous ones who turned profits from online schemes into legitimate businesses, emphasising the societal damage caused by chasing instant gratification.
She urged young Nigerians involved in Yahoo activities to explore their talents and invest in real businesses for long-term stability.
Social media users reacted widely, with some blaming government inaction and lack of job opportunities, while others critiqued the focus on Yahoo culture as overly narrow.
