Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has advised Nigerian youths against following fraudulent paths adopted by some persons best described as ‘yahoo boys’ in a bid to get rich.
Osinbajo who advised the youths not to get distracted by fancy cars and flash of wealth displayed by the ‘yahoo boys’, said they do not sleep at night and their days are usually numbered.
The Vice President said this while delivering the first convocation lecture of Kola Daisi University, Ibadan in Oyo State.
He advised the youths to embrace the opportunities created by both the private and public sector to build young entrepreneurs.
“Don’t be distracted by the yahoo yahoo boys that are coming up one day with fancy cars. Their days are always numbered.
“They will go to jail one day. The point of course, is that what is the point of making money when you can’t sleep well at night.
“But you must find out about the support that is available either from the private sector or public sector. For example, the Federal Government has established a N75 billion National Youth Investment Fund. This provides financial support for small businesses in any field” Osinbajo admonished.
