A young Nigerian man involved in internet fraud has sparked viral outrage and ridicule online after revealing a tale of spiritual betrayal and bitter regret.

In a trending video circulating on social media, the self-proclaimed Yahoo Boy narrated how he introduced his friend to a soap plug—a slang term for a spiritualist or native doctor believed to prepare ritual items (often symbolic soaps or charms) meant to enhance financial fortune through internet scams.

Not only did he introduce the friend to the plug, but he also went a step further by footing the bill for both of them. According to him, they used the same spiritual “soap” under the same conditions — but only his friend cashed out.

“Now he’s the one feeding me,” he said in visible frustration. “I introduced him to the plug, paid for his soap, and nothing worked for me. But he hit big.”

The confession has drawn a mix of disbelief and sarcasm on Nigerian Twitter, where many users mocked the belief in fetish practices as shortcuts to success, while others pointed to the desperation many young people face in a country burdened by unemployment, poverty, and declining moral values.

In a related twist, another post highlights a real-life scam attempt where an 80-year-old woman narrowly escaped being duped by a Yahoo Boy pretending to be Elon Musk. The elderly woman was about to buy an iTunes gift card for her supposed “lover” before a shopkeeper intervened and stopped her from completing the purchase.

These incidents expose the dangerous and absurd lengths both scammers and victims are going to in today’s digital age — where rituals are seen as investments, and unsuspecting victims are preyed on in the name of fake love or fake wealth.

As the stories continue to trend, many are calling for more awareness on cybercrime and the social rot that glorifies fraud and fetishism as viable paths to wealth.
