In a recent video, a lady expressed a preference for dating a “yahoo boy” over a working-class man, praising lavish spending over stable earnings. This sparked outrage online, with actress Kate Henshaw’s comment, “Na so dem go take pieces you for ritual,” adding to the controversy. While the lady’s views are troubling, many have criticized Henshaw’s response as insensitive, arguing that there are better ways to address misguided values.

Using fear-based or harsh language may alienate rather than educate. A constructive response would better highlight the dangers of glorifying fraud while promoting the respect and stability that come with honest labor. Positive reinforcement is often more effective in shifting mindsets, encouraging reflection over defensiveness.
