Rev. Fr. Chinenye Oluoma, a well-known Nigerian Catholic priest, has chastised young Nigerians involved in online fraud, warning that it may not turn out well for them.
The priest who delivered the lecture bemoaned how online scammers rob hard-working people of their money in a video that was shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday morning. He said it would have been preferable if they had targeted politicians.
Even though some musicians perform to support Yahoo, according to Fr. Oluoma, such a lifestyle cannot be justified.
He declared, “You are destroying people to gain a treasure that will be garbage in your life when you chase money at the expense of other people.
I don’t know why folks who steal and deceive others feel upset when clergymen call it out. Yahoo refers to a group of individuals that will just lock themselves in a home, use their computers to hunt for someone who is susceptible, and then steal whatever the victim has worked for.
“Then, after 30 to 40 years of effort, the person goes bankrupt. When the individual is dying of despair, hypertension, and a heart attack while you are at ease, you steal all they own.
“Do you think it is normal that some musicians even sing to support that lifestyle?
“How do you promote Yahoo if it means cheating people out of their hard-earned money, leaving them penniless, and having them die of heart attacks, how do you want to end well?”
Some individuals even view it as a legal hustle. How is theft a respectable business venture? You can’t have a happy ending if you are that sort of person.
“If you are interested in such things, I urge you not to get married because if you do and have children, they will be affected.
“At the very least, focus on politicians who are embezzling money if you want to be a Yahoo. But you won’t single out those who did their jobs honestly; you will. Target the terrible politicians at least, so that you and God may discuss it after you die.
