Just to prove a point to yeye friends

Say eeh him dey high pass everyone, him dey smoke anything

internationalman:
Maybe that was the price he had to pay unknowingly for the financial breakthrough.

The price some have to pay for the financial breakthrough is limited time (ranging from 5 to years, 10 years) to live. In this case the Yahoo boy may knowingly agree to it, while some may not necessarily know what they are getting themselves into.

That's why you see most of them dying avoidable death like ramming into a stationary vehicles.
