Popular Nigerian dancer, Korra Obidi, has reached a conclusion that Nigerian ‘yahoo boys’ (fraudsters) are still learning, when compared with their Mexican counterparts.
The mother of two made this known on Saturday, via her Facebook page after she said her credit card was allegedly debited multiple times at an airport restaurant in Mexico.
According to Obidi, she had used the card to pay for a Margarita drink she bought at a restaurant in the North American country, only to discover she was debited about seven times.
She wrote, “Guys, first thing has happened in Mexico. I just got seven notifications…remember that place…the place that had the Margarita ville…that I bought a $35 Margarita from? They have been charging this card for different fast foods, $225 here, $225 there. I’ve not even eaten dinner and someone is already been charging my card for different things.
“Remember that place that I told you that I felt like I was scammed; at the airport…the place that had a drink for $10 and all of a sudden the drink is $35. I just got a security alert from wings stop…someone has spent my credit card on some wings, and then I got another alert for some fast food, $285 of my money on wings.
“This is worse than Lagos, we are learning in their hands. Yahoo dey learn for their hand. Yahoo yahoo boys need to come and learn work from Mexicans’ hands.”

Obidi went on to jokingly say that the fraudsters used the money stolen from her to eat chicken wings, claiming she thought she was smart until she was outsmarted.
“I be think say I smart based on the yahoo babe wey I be,” she added.
She then gave kudos to her bank, the Bank of America for rescuing the situation and coming to her aid on time.
“I’ve called the Bank of America. Thank God for the most amazing bank ever. I called them in five seconds, someone picked up the call and they blocked this card. I can’t eat, but they said they’re going to give me my money back,” Obidi further said.
