A viral video has triggered widespread condemnation across Nigeria after showing a man preparing what appears to be a spiritual ritual meal intended to “fortify” his young children for a future in internet fraud.
In the clip circulating on social media, the man in Yoruba and translated in English revealed that he won’t sit and watch his children walk the same wretched path he walked and his solution is to groom them via ritual with “Aseje yahoo,” and train them to start fraud at age ten.
Viewers interpreted the scene as the father deliberately grooming minors into a life of fraud through spiritual means, blending traditional juju practices with criminal intent.

The footage has ignited fierce debate online, with many Nigerians expressing horror at what they see as the normalisation of child exploitation, moral decay, and the dangerous fusion of occult rituals with cyber fraud.
“Yahoo Plus”, the evolution of simple scams into ritual-enhanced operations, has long raised alarms, as scammers increasingly turn to native doctors and charms in pursuit of quick wealth.
