A shocking incident has emerged from Bayelsa State, where a teenage lady has allegedly stolen ₦150,000 from her unsuspecting parents to purchase a brand-new phone for her younger boyfriend. The reason behind the gesture, according to online sources, was to support his entry into internet fraud, commonly referred to as “Yahoo.”
The story gained attention after it was posted on X (formerly Twitter), quickly going viral due to the nature of the crime and the emotional involvement that fueled it. The young girl is reported to have taken the money secretly, driven by what many have termed “blind love,” with hopes of helping her boyfriend begin his fraudulent online schemes.
According to witnesses and sources on social media, the girl did not think through the consequences of her actions. The story has generated massive online reactions, with thousands of Nigerians sharing their thoughts, advice, and disappointment in the comment sections.
Many users expressed outrage over the growing trend of teenagers getting involved in crime, especially in the name of love, while others blamed the societal influence of glorifying fraud and fast wealth.
In reaction to the viral post, social media users dropped a range of comments—some condemning, some advising, and some calling out society for its failure to guide the youth.
