The idea of being a Yahoo Boy seemed to be of high value to a man who was spotted eating at an Amala restaurant.

The topic of Internet fraud has dominated societal conversations and discussion over the last few weeks.

It's a topic that surprisingly has two sides- those against it and others who are in support. While those who are in support of Internet fraud have shared their thoughts on social media, some have gone beyond tweeting their opinions.

Recently, a man was spotted wearing a shirt with the inscription 'Yahoo boy' on its back. The man couldn't care less about the controversial occupation on his shirt as he was focused on his Amalie at a local joint in Bariga, Lagos.

The photo was shared on Instagram by Instablog9ja on Monday, May 21, 2018.

The obvious enthusiasm depicted by the man perhaps reflects the mood of some Nigerian youths embracing the 'rewarding' life of an Internet fraudster.

Individuals suspected to be engaging in the activity have come to the attention of the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC has revealed some notable arrests in recent statements confirming the capture of Yahoo Boys in Ikoyi and Abuja.
