A suspected internet fraudster, commonly called a Yahoo boy, has sparked controversy after reportedly naming his newborn daughter after all the clients he allegedly scammed.
The revelation came from a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user @ChuksEricE, featuring a video of the naming ceremony held in a church setting.
In the video, a man presumed to be a pastor conducts the naming rites while family and guests look on.
According to the post, the father chose to name his daughter by honoring the very people he defrauded through online scams.
This unusual act quickly gained attention online, with many users expressing disbelief and concern about exposing the child to such associations.
Some social media reactions include:
@cfc_clevs: “Exposing an innocent child to such ignorance. In a developed country, social services would’ve intervened.”
@SolomonEme28439: “Illiterate scammers see how pastor day shine teeth like a fool.”
@VideoiOT: “Awwww congratulations, business is booming.”
The story has since gone viral, raising questions about the values being passed to the next generation and the lengths some go to flaunt illicit success.
