    new-aesthetic: “Less affectionately known as “Nigerian scammers” or “email fraudsters” to those who don’t speak Naija slang, they have come to define a globally recognized Nigerian stereotype from the sheer volume of spam they produce. But if you check your spam folder right now you might notice that it is slightly lighter these days. That’s because it’s been a tough week for Nigeria’s most infamous internet enthusiasts. Due to the week-long strike action that took place in response to the government’s decision to remove a national fuel subsidy, it has become increasingly difficult for the Yahoos to extract funds from their “clients”. The actions, combined with nation-wide #OccupyNigeria demonstrations, have brought the country’s infrastructure to a standstill. From dawn to 4:00pm offices, banks, gas stations and shops have been shut down in accordance with the strike. During these hours, road blocks were erected by demonstrators and the movement of vehicles was not permitted.” Twilight of the Yahoo-Yahoo Boys | Blog | COLORS Magazine
