Following Peter Obi’s statement that Yahoo Boys are geniuses who need rehabilitation, not condemnation, another worrying comment surfaced: “I wish I was a Yahoo boy right now.” This kind of remark reflects a troubling mindset that glamorizes cybercrime rather than condemning it. It shows how easily people can misinterpret a call for reform as encouragement for wrongdoing. Cybercrime destroys trust, reputations, and livelihoods—it’s not something to envy. The real takeaway from Obi’s statement should be about redirecting intelligence and creativity into legal, productive ventures, not glorifying crime as a path to success. Rehabilitation should inspire change, not admiration for criminals.
