An Educationist, Dr. Anifat Afolabi has called for concerted efforts at promoting specific Nigerian social virtues which prioritize good name above the love of money and the prevailing get-rich-quick mentality.
Dr. Afolabi who is of the department of social studies, Federal College of Education, Special, Oyo, stated this while speaking with Radio Nigeria on the social menace called Yahoo Yahoo, which she said has reached an alarming dimension.
She lamented that many innocent people have fallen victims of Yahoo Yahoo boys, saying, even the elderly ones are also involved in financial crime.
Dr. Afolabi urged all stakeholders, particularly security agencies, parents, teachers and traditional leaders to rise against the social vice in view of its damaging impact on the image of Nigeria and Nigerians.
