A worried Nigerian family has taken serious action against their child after allegedly catching him attempting to engage in the illegal activity known as “Yahoo” in order to purchase a new phone.

In a recently uploaded video, the young boy can be seen undergoing a unique form of punishment resembling riding a motorcycle.

An adult stands behind him, correcting his actions whenever he strays from the right path, while the voice of an elderly woman narrates the child’s actions in the background.

Meanwhile, concerned individuals have flocked to the comment section to express their opinions on both the boy’s actions and the disciplinary measures taken by his family.

One commenter revealed that the boy seems to desire a rebellious image, but also noted that he shouldn’t be let off easily, as he could become spoiled.

See some reactions below:

@DarelF86914: “He wants to be a bad boy, spare the rod andddddd spoil the child.”

@TosinAttah28587: “Best thing to do , before he use all of them for yahoo plus ritual.”

@starfame10: “Guess the family is going to be poor for the rest of their life. Man need to survive at all cost!”

@Poe22454347: “I think it shows initiative and a business mind that can be improved upon him. Nigerians choose poverty and morals over morals and wealth. Just a change in mindset and the whole board game is over.”

@iamstarsali: “Where did he learn it from this story no clear, mk them ask the elder brother.”
