Why Nigerians Always Fall For Scam Investments by SouleRhymez01(m): 6:35pm On Apr 27, 2022
It seems that when it comes to scam investments, Nigerians, regardless of how much they have lost in the past, never learn their lessons.

The situation in Nigeria has turned several people into criminals, and sometimes we know it. We are just hoping to benefit from the loot and in the end, many of us become the loots.

From MMM to several Ponzi schemes, to Chinmark, and most recently Ovaioza, Nigeria has always had scams or bad investments through which people lose their monies year in, year out. There are people who lost their monies to those three mentioned above. It seems to me that they do not learn their lessons.

Someone I know recently invested up to 15 million, 13 million of which is not his money, in a scam investment. In fact, the money included the ones he has been saving to get married. He had to abandon his house and run out of Lagos, people whose money he collected to invest are now on the lookout for him.

The marriage has also been canceled – there is no doubt that his life is shattered. He is still hiding away from people, whose monies he invested as I speak.

A lot of folks have been killed; some are in prison while a lot of others committed suicide for losing their monies to scam investments but it seems we never really learn our lessons.

Nearly all Nigerians have lost money to scam investments at one time or another, except the elites that make up only 5% of the entire population, and who control the economy. However, when you ask if people have lost money to scam investments, they can’t admit it.

Losing money to scam investments is like claiming to know God and getting scammed by your religion leader. You will not be able to expose the religion leader because doing so exposes your ignorance of God.


When people lose money to scam investments, they keep quiet about it because they are afraid of being tagged greedy. However, losing money to scam investments has very little to do with being greedy and more to do with other things that most people do not know.

The reasons why people lose their monies are divided into three categories, namely.
1. The Internal Triggers
2. The Business Strategies
3. Ignorance of the Safety Signs


Greed is one of the internal triggers but there are more. Even if there are no internal triggers, the business strategies of the scammers can induce you to fall victim. This is why you need to learn about safety signs.

All of these are written in my yet-to-be-released book titled “STOP THROWING MONEY AWAY”. If you do not wish to lose your money to scam investments anymore, then you need to read this book.

The book will be released next month, but you can learn more about it and get information on how you can get to read it by clicking on the WhatsApp group link below.
