Frustrated “Yahoo Boy” Smashes Laptop After Struggling To Cash Out (Video)
A viral video has captured a dramatic and humorous moment as a young man, alleged to be an Internet fraudster commonly referred to as “yahoo yahoo” in Nigeria, vented his frustration by smashing his laptop.
The incident has sparked reactions online, with many finding it both amusing and thought-provoking.
In the video, the man was seen in a house compound repeatedly smashing his laptop on the ground, lamenting his inability to earn even $50 despite spending a lot of money on data for browsing. Clearly frustrated, he declared the laptop useless and expressed regret over his failed attempts to make quick money through “yahoo yahoo.”
As the man continued his outburst, smashing the laptop into pieces, another individual behind the camera humorously suggested he try other options. However, the young man ignored the advice, determined to destroy the laptop entirely.
The incident has drawn widespread reactions in the comment section of the video. Some viewers criticized his actions, advising him that instead of resorting to “yahoo yahoo,” he could have enrolled in a tech skill program to learn a legitimate trade and become a professional in the tech industry.
Others suggested that he could have sold the laptop to recoup some money rather than destroying it. A few commenters emphasized the importance of mixing education with vocational skills as a pathway to success, rather than resorting to Internet fraud.
Interestingly, some viewers pointed out that the man’s frustration might stem from a misunderstanding of “yahoo yahoo.” They claimed that the so-called success stories in Internet fraud often involve diabolical rituals masked as online scams, explaining why it is not as straightforward as it seems.
The video has become a talking point, sparking debates about the societal pressures that lead some young people into Internet fraud and the need for better education and opportunities to prevent such situations.
