Nigerian financial commentator Gehgeh has issued a critical warning to former internet fraudsters whose once-lucrative criminal activities are no longer yielding profits. He emphasizes the urgent need for these individuals to distance themselves from their past exploits and invest their efforts in acquiring legitimate skills before financial strain leads to irreversible consequences in their lives.
In a compelling video message, Gehgeh, who has become a prominent voice in financial matters, referenced these individuals as “Oldtakers”. He explained that many of these young men, who previously thrived on the spoils of internet fraud, had once enjoyed a lifestyle filled with material success.
They had built impressive homes, splurged on flashy cars, and even established families, all funded by their dishonest gains. However, the tables have turned, and now, many of them are facing a harsh reality marked by financial instability and regret.
Gehgeh shared a poignant observation from his own community, recounting how three or four young men he personally knew succumbed to severe mental distress after their financial downfall. This decline in mental health is not just a statistic—it’s a tragic reality for those who struggle to reconcile their current circumstances with the extravagant lifestyles they’ve grown accustomed to. He attributed their dire situation, in part, to the immense pressure they face in trying to sustain a lifestyle that has become financially unsustainable.
This pressure can warp their sense of reality and push them to the brink, leading to stressful outcomes that could have been avoided. He urged young men aged 19 to 30 to take a step back, reflect on their choices, and consider a fresh start by embracing legitimate career paths and skills that can provide them with sustainable income.Gehgeh’s message is not merely a warning, but a call to action for those caught in the cycle of outdated illegal practices.
He advocates for a proactive approach to rebuilding lives, highlighting the importance of resilience and the power of legitimate work in fostering a secure and fulfilling future. Now is the time for these individuals to pivot, reassess their priorities, and strive for a life that does not rely on the precariousness of deception but instead builds on the foundation of honesty and hard work.
