New Beginnings: 9 Year old Lagos Boy who Vowed to be a “Yahoo Boy” Resumes School

Remember Segun, the 9-year-old Lagos boy who became an internet sensation after a video of himself declaring that he must become a ‘Yahoo boy’ went viral? (read here). Well, he has finally returned to school.

For those who don’t know, in Nigerian pop culture terms, “Yahoo boys” refer to fraudulent men who get rich quick by conducting Internet fraud.

Segun now attends a private school all thanks to the help of funds from kind-hearted Nigerians. The youngster who already has an Instagram page with over 51k followers, shared a photo of himself in school uniform. He included a touching caption along with the photo:

“In the face of every obstacle, I survived without a bruise! Because I don’t believe in IMPOSSIBLE and that’s what get me through.

Some months back I left the public school I was attending because I felt I deserve a standard education without a penny and any hope of resuming in a better one ……I prayed and had faith!!
