I just had one of the most unnerving experience of my life

So this woman on my street called me to help her to talk her child that's been moving with Yahoo boys and apparently started doing it too, the woman started the conversation by saying I'm an example of someone ..

..the boy should emulate and see as a mentor, seeing how I'm nicely dressed going to work everyday and I how I keep my life off drugs and going about things the right way.

So I told the boy, why old fashioned hard work pays and how there are legit ICT skills he can learn..

The part that blew me away, boy started by saying no disrespect to me but looking good in shirt and tie or being unproblematic doesn't pay the major bills, that he doesn't see me driving a car, but bro Tunde who didn't even finish secondary school but does "G" drives a nice car..

.. boy said he can't waste the next ten years of his life just to become a guy that wear shirt and tie to fly bike to work or wait for office Bus.. I tried to tell him that I have responsibilities and buying a car is a luxury I can't afford right now that there are guys who..

.. are like me who can actually "ball" and that I enjoy life in a different way than spending money on call girls and alcohol.

Boy said he got an iTunes gift card of $200 within 2 days of asking and no work can guarantee him that..

At that point I just kept mute and told ..

.. the mother to pray for him or find someone he respects to talk him out of it.

Kids these days see Yahoo boys as mentors than regular hard working guys because our society worships money and we live in a country that rewards greedy politicians than Doctors, teachers and co.

We were still talking about 9ice few hours ago, man made a whole ass song glorifying internet scam and praising popular fraud boys.

People hardly remember the doctors and nurses that saved us from Ebola, I mean a lot of Nigerians don't even know a movie was made about them.
