Story: My life as a Yahoo Boy By iphekitan - Season 2 - Episode 27

Having gain that much from John Smith.

I partied and mingle with Alex and James and some couple of yahoo guys in gombe.

Notwithstanding, I enjoyed every bit of my stay in Gomber especially now I had funds to spend, albeit ill-gotten. Nevertheless, John Smith’s last message still troubled

“You know Karma’s a B***h right?”

KARMA? What does Karma really mean? Last time I checked, it’s a Bhuddist belief that whatever you do comes back to you. Well, thank God I’m not a Bhuddist. If anything, John Smith got served by Karma, I was just
the delivery guy.

We were in a club, around GSU, breaking bottles as usual. When a older guy of around forty came in. He was keenly staring at me in
particular. He seem like and igbo guy.

Later on, most of my guys were already tipsy, and I don’t get tipsy not until the seventh bottle. I then approached the guy, guess I had
the courage due to what I had drank.

Me : hey man, what you looking at ?

Strange man : boy have your sit. (Pointing to a chair beside him.

I obliged and sat down by him.

Strange man : young man, my name is chidi, and I was also once like you.

Me : mister I don’t get.

Chidi : with the way you are spending spree and talking, I know what you are.

Me : what am I ?

Chidi : a wire wire ofcousre.

Me: (shocked) his it that obvious.

Chidi : I told you I was once like you.

Me : (took a cursory look at him) then what
happened?

Chidi : let go outside, the walls has hears.

As a yoruba guy, I understood that statement.

I followed him out. He pointed to a green car. I followed him and we both sat in.

Chidi : well let me tell you my story so you learn. I am chidi like I said earlier, what people used to know as yahoo , a term used to
defraud unsuspecting and gullible persons, especially foreigners, through the internet, has gone beyond mere conversation and emotional
chat. During my time yahoo plus was the trend in cybercrime world, as operators have
resorted to using fetish means to hypnotize their victims in order to get what they want from them. I ventured into cyber crime eight years ago, after several attempts to gain admission into the university failed.

Unfortunately, five years down the line, I could only get myself this Nigerian used vehicle.

My sudden change of mind, followed a startling discovery that human parts were being used to prepare concoction that would hypnotise victims.

“ You may not believe me but it is true.

Those who are into yahoo plus use charm to
hypnotize their victims. This is because the
ordinary yahoo no longer yield the desired result.

Our targets are getting wiser and no longer fall
prey .

“When I noticed that I was not making any
headway in yahoo business, I decided to inquire from some of my friends who were in same business but were living better off.

To my surprise, I was made to understand that
the in-thing was yahoo plus. I decided to embark on a journey to Benin Republic in the company of Chuks, Odinakachukwu and Chionye. There, we met a herbalist who told us to buy three live cocks and other items which
he used to prepare some concoction for us.
After that, we were asked to stand in front of the shrine,while the herbalist chanted incantations that would enhance our success in yahoo plus.

“As we left for Nigeria, we were given some
concoction which the herbalist said were
prepared with human parts. We were asked to
put the concoction in our mouths whenever we wanted to type or discuss with our victims.

But when I got home, I became restive. I
remembered my mum’s admonition never to go into anything fetish but to serve the almighty God. I kept the concoction away and watched as events unfolded.

Three months later, one of us Chuks, made 3000 dollars But Odinakachuckwu lost his younger brother who went to use his laptop.

The instruction of the herbalist was that no one except him, should use his laptop. Just as we were smarting from that, Chionye lost his
girlfriend.

“I decided to quit at that point because I did not want anyone to die on my account. I am
therefore decided to quit yahoo finally”.

I broke my laptop into pieces and here I am living like a freelance.

But I know I have a settled mind.

Me : well with all you have said, I am not into yahoo plus, neither would I shed any blood.

I just get lucky and I understand the game better.

Chidi : but do you know karma would come for you one day?

Me : it’s not possible, am not doing anything too wrong.

Chidi: what you sow you reap.

Me : alaye enough of the preaching. You are the one who wants to be like this. Have got to ball.
Mister double your hustle, no time for lamentation.

Chidi : wetin my eyes done see, wetin my hears don hear, in this game.

You don’t know.

Me : mister have a good night.

I stepped out his car, slammed the door, and went back to join my guys.

Ish what’s with this Karma of a thing sef.

Getting back home that night I reflected on what chidi said, though I’ve always had my reservations on cheating people online especially vulnerable women, which was why I switched from dating to goods and apartment, but I had gotten to that point in life where money must be made. So I continueD
my journey to been a Yahoo Boy.

Two months left for my passing out parade.

So I knew I had limited time, I had to do comprehensive dating now, to see who I could be my way out of the country.

I thought miss rose was the one. But she wasn’t replying my mails any longer.

Then I met a new zealand woman on one of the popular dating site. She seem rich with the pictures on her profile.

I claimed to be christopher williams, a guy based in malaysia. I used my real pictures, because by that time, I was almost fresh and very light, due to the modeling treatments have had days back. we started chatting, and in matter of days she was into me, I devoted
my time to chat her, I’d wake up all night to chat with her.

She fell in love with me. My first payment from her was when I claimed to be in possession of gemstone worth $18,050,000, which he
purportedly inherited from my father.

With time I was able to make of $267, 000, (about N53 million) from her. Yet she never suspected anything. She was lost in the love I
showered on her.

Then she initiated that I come over to New. Zealand.
