I'm surprised that Nigerians haven't learnt anything from previous Ponzi schemes that have crashed. I wouldn't blame this unfortunate incident on the government because nobody contacted the government when they wanted to invest for advice. If they didn't contact the government that means they invested at their own risk so they should suffer the consequences alone. Some Nigerians problems is greed, when would they stop being greedy and be responsible..money this days is very hard yet some Nigerians still have the mind to invest in Ponzi schemes. Even as NRC has crashed and if another Ponzi scheme is launch tomorrow don't be surprised some Nigerians would still go ahead and invest. Anyone who doesn't want to learn should be prepared for the consequences that await them.
The way Nigerians participated in this NRC scam program further went on to tell me how ignorant, greedy and desperate our people are for money. There are numerous Nigerians out there who continue to participate in Ponzi Schemes like this and remain victims of these same Ponzi Schemes. Some of them go in with the intention of outsmarting the system by making money before the system crashes. Some went in because of frustration of looking for money and you hear them say they are ready to lose the money if they know there are chances to win,while others could be as a final of one thing or something else
And you know the most funny part is that people don't learn even when they are seeing other people crying as a result of venturing in it. That's the more reason I don't spare them or even try to sympathize with them even when I come across any. However, what we must understand is that life is not as easy as we always think meaning no good thing come easier. My advice is that, when we come across any of these real to be true schemes or whatever, we shouldn't quickly jump into it without proper verification, once the offer look more tempting we shouldn't hesitate to cross check over and over again else we become a potential victim of it.
