King125007: You sound like you work for one of them. So the method of recovery whereby they harass borrowers by sending bulk SMS to their contacts is OK by you? Is that ethical and professional? They have factored in the risk of eventual default into their crazy interest rates, so if anyone beats them to their game, too bad. I support the FG's decision. 5 Likes |

Read out what you wrote here, and see whether that makes sense. The government has received series of complaints from people using these loan apps. That's why they are taking action. Why not question the government too? iHart: |

Anyhow you want to look at it the fact is that if you take a loan with the hidden intention of not paying back then you lack conscience and integrity! 2 Likes 1 Share |

With people like you, the world could be in a much deeper shit than it is. There are reasons why we have lawyers and activists. Do not expect everyone to have a high sense of reasoning to take the best decisions at all times. I wonder why you are on a defensive side. Probably because you are one of them. iHart: |

pacesetting:our discussion did not start from what the government has done but from the 15k to pay 23k you called a rip off. It is very very possible that if your contact borrowed the 15k from you, he may not have paid back and may never pay back. ...and sensing that he may not pay back, you may not even lend him the money. So allow him to face the loan sharks. Whoever that goes to loan sharks, let him or her face their music. 1 Like 1 Share |

OneMillionBTC: Exactly. A major problem we have are our financial institutions/banks. They've managed to institutionalise corruption in that sector and continue to take advantage of Nigerians due to lack of proper orientation and information regarding the financial mandates they've been licensed to provide. A number of these banks even work in cahoots with these loan sharks in order to gain from the ridiculous interest rates. As in organised countries, I believe Nigeria has laws with which such loan and credit companies MUST comply if they are to operate within its shores. This also goes for the so-called commercial banks, etc. 4 Likes |

pacesetting:Fair enough, the interest offered your friend was high. But why did he take it? He had the option to reject! Accepting the money meant he agreed to the conditions. Abeg stop supporting irresponsibility. This is the same situation with Nigeria and buhari, take all the loans offered to you and then complain when it is time to pay. Unfortunately, that of Nigeria cannot be canceled by Nigeria regulatory authorities as the loans are international. You take money, you pay! 2 Likes |

iHart: Let it be know that there are contracts that you can sign and it will still be null and void by a court if found to be exploitation , non objective and ambiguous . So even if the contracts were signed by the borrower it can still be null and void if the contract does not reflect the laws, terms and regulations of that country. Lending money in nigeria has laws , rules and regulations(financial law) which these apps don't apply and as such all contracts signed on their terms are invalid. Just like housing or tenancy law in nigeria etc. 5 Likes |

It’s not advisable to be a debtor. We shouldn’t see it as being a right thing to owe money and that’s from my own point of view. Meanwhile, Do you know you need to take your security very seriously with the high rate of insecurity in our country, it will be suicidal to trust our government and that is why we need CCTV cameras. Install quality affordable cctv camera for your homes, offices and shops to have records of your environment incase of any eventuality.

nedekid: The loans Nigeria, as a nation takes from global financial institutions are usually within globally accepted standard rates and conditions. The issue Nigeria has is utilising the loans appropriately in order to boost the economy and ultimately pay back the loans with less strain. The major causative factor is corruption. As for these loan sharks, they benefit from this same corruption and despite the harsh economic realities their targets are subjected to, aim to extort their 'victims' by placing conditions which can never be acceptable anywhere in this world. And they do this by taking advantage of the lapses of regulatory bodies and their collusion with certain entities within the financial sector. Even in the best economies with best loan conditions, there would always be defaulters due to a wide range of reasons, not to talk of an ailing economy where a struggling individual is expected to pay over 50% interest in one week as reported in a post above. Even 50% in one month is a rip off and places tremendous stress on the borrower. Then to worsen it, they resort to criminal activities in a bid to obtain their 'proceeds'. drsibz66: Many Nigerians are unaware of this. 3 Likes |

All the mobile lenders are licensed. The question is, how did they scheme their way through? CBN has a lot of questions to answer. On google play store. There are so many of them. Some of them will still keep deducting your funds even if you’re not indebted to them. Unfortunately, you can’t unlink your card. Some will charge as high as 50N to link your card only to tell you that you ain’t eligible for a loan. Some don’t have any physical office. I did a little research on ‘Cash Dey’, another loan shark. They don’t have a physical location and there is no means to contact them. So many bad reviews about them from Nigerians and good reviews from other citizens. I also observed that most of the loan sharks have a better deal for citizens of other countries than they do for Nigerians. Aside the pioneers of mobile lending like ‘Branch’, ‘Carbon’, ‘Aella Credit’, ‘Quick Check’, ‘Fair Money’ and ‘Palm Credit’, the rest are just in a rat race and are all about scheming Nigerians. 6 Likes |

29kobo: Do Carbon and Branch request for collaterals? Their interest rates are very reasonable with about a month to pay. These loan sharks demand for about 40% to 50% interest for a week’s loan. That’s outrageous! I know someone who opened up that he owed Branch for about 2 years because he was too broke to pay. The most they did was submit himself at credit bureau. And they even stopped his interest from running further. 1 Like |

Yes, you're correct, in my hustling days straight out of nysc, I used to work with one of them.. I also do not support most of the method employ to get the loans back, but trust me when I say some of those method are employed on extreme cases. Nigerians stubborn And that is where govt regulation come in. About the interest rate, it was made clear from the beginning before the loan was collected, even contacting or gaining access to your phone contact was part of the agreement customers sign on to on PRIVACY AND AGREEMENT, but most Nigerians don't read, they just glance through documents I am just concern about the number of youths that are going to be out of job.
