I read from page 1 to last page

Invested 500k in cow rearing. Flu affected them and they died.

Invested 500k in plantation farming. Fulani and thieves from nearby villages killed the investment.

Bought Nigeria used Nissan Altima with 500k from a colleague. Nigerian mechanic suck hell out of me. They will be calling you daddy until they milk you dry.

Lesson learnt.
Never venture into any business you don't know the rudiment
Farming in Nigeria involves a lot of risk. Never mind online farming.
Fish will keep eating fish to be big in Nigeria.

Nigerian will never introduce you to any business that will triple your initial investment. They prefer to tell their family first. Any ponze or networking to double your investment is a scam

To be a good seller of any product or service, it is crucial that a prospective seller takes into consideration the local economy of the place he wishes to operate, but how can he/she do that without adequate knowledge of the things to look out for. This is why we have come out free tutorials covering various subjects that'll enable people equip themselves to know how to be better individuals and help them carve a niche for themselves while yet bettering the lives of others with what they have to offer.

Be wise with what you invest in and that would determine your returns.

KINDLY support our channel. Thank you!

I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.
SAY NO TO GAMBLING

I am interested. To know how it works.

Self discipline is also important. Only invest in what you know and not what you are pressured to invest in.

NairalandAngel:
I have lost a lot of money in several business deals that did not go as planned.

Lost about N2.2 million during the crash of the Nigerian stock market. I bought massively into shares of banks, Transcorp, Big Treat etc. The value of everything crashed before my very eyesangry

Invested N2 million in a business to supply sand and my business partner absconded to the UAE with my money

Invested N400K plus in a business to prepare and deliver food to offices in VI and Lekki. The business did not even make 1Kobo!

Invested $200 in a Binary options account and the account manager blew the whole money!

There are several others which I just do not want to remember sad

Lessons learnt:-
Scrutinise every business proposal thoroughly

Do not invest in a business out of pity or because you want to help someone

Do not trust a Nigerian business partner 100% especially where money is involved

Actually I have lost way more money that this.

This one was significant because I lost this money in my very first attempt to make money through investments.

I had just been employed and 5 months down the line I received my first bulk money. I decided to invest it in a HYIP.

Yup.......foolishness right.

For a person whose monthly salary was alittle shy of 35k per month in 2010,you can imagine how strong the pull of quickmoney was.

I lost that money to Royalty 7 that time. It really got to me. In my life I had never received that kind of money. And for me to receive it and lose it so stupidly. It was monumental. It took me a while to recover.

To this day, I run from the likes of MMM and co.

I am the chief crooner of Egungun be careful when I see someone investing in things like that.

my husband lost about 3 million to aims asset management. He has been to their office several times but it seems their is no hope of ever recovering the money. Lesson learnt is to be triple sure about a business before you invest in it.

The problem is Nigerians never LEARN...

after going through this thread, one thing is obvious: We like to give people money to "invest" while we SLEEP... That is not investment. That is GAMBLING.

investment is you build something for yourself, you work to see it grow, no b all these "come and invest" or "bring 1Million, collect 2Million"

My biggest loss was $75 when I intended buying ssn,socks and other online tools to create an Amazon dropship account from a particular darkweb site.I paid in bitcoins and got scammed.

I have learnt my lessons tho,I didn't relent I had to research more by buying more ebooks on better ways to access the market and how to identify legit vendors there.

As at today am a master on the darkweb.
put me on bro. I need buy some things
