I know many Nigerians don’t feel improvement in their lives. One of the challenges from development is that as the playing field gets more sophisticated the ones that don’t develop themselves fast enough are left behind.

Don’t call them “Yahoo Boys”.
They’re criminals hurting the reputation of honest Nigerians every day.

419 is a crime.
And the main victim is the Nigerian people.— Pedro F. Hipólito (@PedroHipolito) August 10, 2019
