GehGeh: ‘Yahoo Boys’ Should Know It’s Never Too Late To Start Life Afresh

Nigerian content creator Ojaigho Prosper, popularly known as GehGeh, has advised young men who made money through internet fraud to develop new skills and pursue legitimate sources of income.

In a video, GehGeh spoke about young men in his community whose finances declined after they stopped earning from internet fraud, saying the pressure to maintain their previous lifestyles could make it difficult to start afresh.

He said some had used their earnings to acquire houses and cars and start families, but struggled to adjust when the money stopped coming.

GehGeh encouraged them to learn trades, acquire new skills or establish legitimate businesses rather than allow financial setbacks and expectations from others to determine their future.

“Bro, it’s never too late for you to start life afresh,” he said.

He also warned against sacrificing personal wellbeing to meet other people’s expectations, saying, “If making other people happy will cost you your own life and your personal happiness and well being, bro it’s not worth it.”

Drawing from his own experience, GehGeh said he had abandoned teaching after making money through internet fraud before eventually leaving that lifestyle.

He urged young men facing similar circumstances to accept that rebuilding their lives may take time and to focus on their own progress.
