The lifestyle of yahoo boys is what drains them.
1. They spend lavishly.
2. Club and party weekly
3. Buy the most expensive cars, rent the most expensive flats.
4. Date high class ladies
5. Do expensive drugs. This is actually the worst. I know of a Gboy then in Yaba who hit 50M, rented a flat of 3M, bought a car of 20M. Guy went fully into drugs. Within 4 months he sold his car and went deeper into drugs. Didn't take 1 year before the whole 50M became nothing
The only yahoo boys that I know that are successful are those who do it coded and don't live that stupid lifestyle.

MONEY,Itself is evil and not for the faint hearted.I know so many people from very very poor background,that did this shitt but they invested wisely and today their family is doing very fanstastic.
Or where do you think all these overnight Billionaires made their money from?Even the so called saint is not left behind .
Story dey ,plenty!!
Its not how you make money that matters but how you spends it.Almost ,if not majority of the rich people you see arround,have been involved in one shady deals or the other.Forget all these social media stories.
Back then in the 80-90s most of the people who traveled abroad then ,did so many shitt,including oriolori(oluwole),even our current presido is not left behind.
Abeg if you get opportunity,make use of it and invest wisely.

Understanding financial management will make you sustain wealth for years. It will guide you to build wealth securely, not just invest aimlessly.


Extravagant spendings and living a lavish life is the reason why most of them return to trenches

Karma doesnt exist, and life doesnt know the diff between legal and illegal wealth, so there's nothing like "suffering the consequences of their actions" in this case


Say No to Yahoo but, Financial Management is key.

No such thing as karma.

Wealth comes with a price.
Every wealth person has done something untoward at one point in time or the other.
And I am not talking about wealth of I buy house for lekki. I mean wealth that can last generations.
People are quick to say look at dangote. Dangote inherited generational wealth, if you find out the source of the original wealth either from his Great grand parents or further down the line you will be shocked.
If in life you have the fear of God and conscience you chances of having generational wealth is next to zero.

Meaning its easier to see any HUGE money to buy car but think of how to MAINTAIN it if no such income every time

If I got 100 million naira,I'll hire 50 people who can cook variety of meals ranging from Fried rice,Jollof rice,Ofada rice, Coconut rice,Soups,Salads,Moi-Moi, Turkey, Chicken,Goat meat ETC

I'll open a upscale food canteen in at least 20 locations in Lagos state with a distinct brand( The brand could be the name,design or advert style)

I'll focus on quality instead of quantity.... Nigerians love to buy expensive stuffs as long as they know you don't compromise.

For example,I could sell a piece of grilled turkey for 12,000 naira and people will buy it or a piece of well prepared catfish peppersoup for 15,000 naira....A big catfish costs just 4k or 5k so imagine the gain.

I'll make sure they open from Monday to Sunday ( Very possible,you only need a large staff and you pay them good)

I could go on but let me say if you got 100 million or less,and you want to double it in a space of 6 months,you can never go wrong with selling food, transportation and importation.

Even beggars and poor people eat not to talk of comfortable and rich people,As long as you're neat, respectful and good, you're destined to make it.

As for importation,you can import trending goods at 2000 naira and sell at 5000 naira or more.

Imagine a profit of 3k on 1000 goods sold,That's 3 million naira gain on just one product.

that’s the mindset of Blackman. Once they hit their first 1m, they start to misbehave in the street. When the money finished, they go back to streets

ExAngel007:
Yahoo boys share their struggle with becoming broke after spending way too much on frivolities

In a series of viral posts on social media, several former "Yahoo Boys" – a term used in Nigeria to describe individuals involved in online fraud – have come forward to share cautionary tales of their experiences with sudden wealth from
cryptocurrency gains and other ventures, followed by financial ruin due to reckless spending and lack of proper financial planning.

The revelations, shared on social media by Sir David Onyemaizu, aim to offer lessons on the importance of money management and financial responsibility.

In one post, a man recounts earning $100,000 from Bitcoin trading between 2020 and 2021, only to face financial struggles shortly afterward.

Despite once having up to eight Bitcoins, the individual admits that he now has nothing to show for it. He reflects on the notion that "money not worked for" often leads to wasteful spending, emphasizing the importance of valuing
legitimately earned income. “Calculate the price of BTC from 2020 to 2023 October, then you will get the price. 8 BTC ooo,” he writes, reflecting regret over lost opportunities and poor choices.

Another post features a former "Yahoo Boy" who recalls spending lavishly after his sudden rise to wealth, even renting a luxury home in the upscale Lekki area of Lagos. However, by early 2023,reality set in, and with no stable income source,
he returned to his hometown. He warns others about the pitfalls of irresponsible spending, noting, "Even the money you invest when reality sets in, you go pull out that investment to settle problems and bills."

The final message comes from an individual who lost his car, home, and relationships due to his financial downturn. After spending most of his newfound wealth in 2021 on hotel stays and luxuries, he now struggles to make ends meet.

Facing eviction, he reflects, “If I see 5k naira in my account like this, I will be so happy to tell the rate at which I’ve suffered.”
