A Nigerian prophet identified as Abiodun has sparked controversies on social media after emphatically stating that Jacob in the Bible was the number one ‘Yahoo boy’ in history.
‘Yahoo Boy’ is the common name for internet fraudsters in Nigeria, they engage in romance scams, Email fraud, money laundering, and other crimes.
according to this so-called man of God in a video, the fact that Jacob used a deceitful way in gaining the blessings that were meant for his brother Esau by their blind father, he is ‘419’ and a fraudster.
“When talking about Yahoo boys, 419, Jacob in the Bible is number one. Honestly, in my own opinion. Number one 419 kingpin is Jacob,” he said in the video.
“He stole in every way. He got to his in-law’s house, he used fraud. He got married to two sisters from the same mother. There was no wonder he didn’t perform,” he added.
His statement has generated some sort of storm on social media, as many have wondered if he is actually glorifying internet fraud by linking the fraudsters to a Biblical figure.
