Blood Money: The Dark Reality of Yahoo-Yahoo and Ritual Killings in Nigeria

Introduction

In today’s post, I just want to rant and I’ll be delivering in two different sections. The first part of this post will be talking about the quest for “quick cash among the youths.”

A friend once told me, “the way this young chaps of this days are chasing money, if many of us had such mentality at their age, we’ll be millionaires by now”. When I was around their age, the university, shaped us to think that white collar jobs was the ultimate.

So once we were done with school, we started applying for jobs. Each year, millions of youths graduates enter the labor market, only to end up unemployed and same cycle has repeated itself for decades. This has made a lot of youths see school as scam. The ones who are not patient enough to look for a job, go into internet scam popularly called “yahoo-yahoo”.

Yahoo-yahoo has now eaten so deep into the society that this syndicate has now created different schools to train people in scamming. The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has been doing all it can to arrest them but it never stops.

You see them with all types of fancy rides living the dream life of a lot of their struggling peers and enticing them to come and join their league of extraordinary gentlemen. This isn’t limited to only the youths alone, even some kids in their teens practice this romance scam just to make money.

You see ladies around this fraudster all the time in parties and big events having the best time of their lives. The worse part is that this girls know that this illicit money spent on them are gotten from people’s sweat and blood, yet they don’t care and they still go ahead to date them. When the money finally runs out, the girls are killed by the same guy that supposed to love them to be used for money rituals. The ritual part of the human sacrifice is what we call “yahoo plus”.

Internet scam has now taken a dark turn in Nigeria. At some point when this foreigners become wise to their fake schemes and falling for their tricks, they go diabolical in order to increase their success rates. Some go as far as having sex with a mad women on the streets , eating off their excrete, and killing unsuspecting victims and using some part of their organ demanded by the witch doctor for sacrifice.

This is now the new menace terrorizing the country. We’ve seen video of ladies who barely escaped with their lives by an inch close to death.

As a result of this human ritual’s people do, the government had to ban the Nigeria movie industry from showing scenes that involves money rituals but deep down in their hearts, this crazy government know that this is not the root cause of this evil act because a lot of us grew up watching those films and didn’t turn out to be ritualistic.

The government’s knows it shares a significant part of the blame because for years they kept squandering the wealth of the nation, not providing jobs and social amenities and keeping everyone in abject poverty, so that they can capitalize on that poverty during elections to offer money in exchange for their votes, knowing they will eagerly accept it.

What actually prompted this post is a young boy who wanted to use his 7 years old nephew for money rituals, a young Islamic cleric who killed his girlfriend and dismembered her body for the same purpose and the gospel artist who was caught with his girlfriend head in a bag for this same money ritual purpose. At this point, we don’t even know who to trust again because it could be anybody. We just have to always watch and pray.

I’ll be discussing on the greedy nature of most of this Nigerian ladies that often lead them to fall victim to the hands of this yahoo boys.
