"Yahoo simply means an Avenue of taking what’s belong to someone else with a false pretense! Remember most of the people you convince to invest there life saving ended up committing sui.cide when they so called yahoo boys fail to keep up with the end of their bargain! So if your God answers such prayers, my brother I think I rather follow the gods of my ancestors! Thank you."

"I don't believe God likes bad actions or listens to prayers about them. People's beliefs and personal ideas change how they see situations. Some may think it's a sign from God, while others believe it's a mistake or an excuse for wrongdoings. To make the world better, we should follow good values and work for fairness."
