A concerned Nigerian family has taken significant measures in response to their child's alleged involvement in the illicit activity known as "Yahoo," as they discovered he was attempting to use it to purchase a new phone. The incident was captured in a recently uploaded video, where the young boy can be seen undergoing an unconventional form of punishment, resembling a motorcycle ride. An adult stands behind him, guiding his actions and correcting him when he deviates from the intended path, while the narration of an elderly woman in the background describes the child's actions.
The video has garnered a considerable number of responses from concerned individuals, who have expressed their thoughts on both the boy's actions and the family's disciplinary actions. One commenter noted that the boy seems to be seeking a rebellious image and emphasized that he should not be spared from discipline, as leniency might lead to him becoming spoiled.
Here are some of the reactions:
@DarelF86914: "He wants to be a bad boy, spare the rod andddddd spoil the child."
@TosinAttah28587: "Best thing to do, before he uses all of them for yahoo plus ritual."
@starfame10: "Guess the family is going to be poor for the rest of their life. Man needs to survive at all costs!"
@Poe22454347: "I think it shows initiative and a business mind that can be improved upon him. Nigerians choose poverty and morals over morals and wealth. Just a change in mindset and the whole board game is over."
@iamstarsali: "Where did he learn it from? This story is not clear. They should ask the elder brother."
