If you’re a magistrate or judge who take bribe and swindle cases, you are a yahoo boy and those lawyers who knew the truth but standing for yahoo boys are yahoo lawyers. Military generals stealing our crude oils through illegal vessels are yahoo Military Generals.

Everything rises and fall on leadership. In the 90s, we have 419s who hid themselves but the 21st century came with invented 419 known as yahoo, which we all are almost guilty of. The problem is leadership failure and until we arise as a people to chart a better way forward, we will not get better as a nation.
