In my previous post about the rampant avarice in Nigeria, I spoke a little about "Yahoo boys". If you're yet to read, please do read and post your comments.
So, I came across an advert in one of the popular monthly magazine today, and this will make me want to revisit this same issue.

Please take your to read this advert well.
Notice the "...heavy money on Yahuu"?
Now, that's where I'm going...
Checks have revealed that a number of those erroneously referred to as “Yahoo Boys” (Internet fraudsters) have delved into money rituals as the internet business has not been forthcoming as before. Instead of calling it money ritual, they have code named it “Yahoo Plus”. In their own case, perpetrators of Yahoo Plus have taken their game to a higher level by adding jazz to it. At times, unsuspecting girlfriends end up as victims. Most people in Yahoo Plus opted for money rituals after the used of jazz failed to bring the desired results from the “Yahoo Yahoo” trade.
Unfortunately however, money rituals fail at times. Victims have been rejected by medicine men while some have been taken to shrines before they were found unsuitable for particular rituals and might have to be returned. One of the commonest consequences of a failed money ritual is that instead of getting rich, the person might either run mad or even die. These often serve as checks to prevent aggrieved prosperity seekers from spilling the beans and also to ensure that the esoteric secrets behind the rituals remain unknown.
The advert also spelt out "spend money and back to your pocket" (in Yoruba, its called Anobo), "commanding tone medicine without refusal" (Mayehun in Yoruba)...
The fact that this advert got published in the first place is quite disturbing. My question is, are we seriously in support of this "yahoo" thing?

Will we ever have a sane society devoid of crime or inordinate desire for wealth?
