When are we going to learn?

[Iamgoat]

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

People will not stop building platforms to make money from others, and people will not also learn from previous collapse, and so, people will always become victims. I have just stayed off that stuff

Ponzi schemes has been operating in Nigeria for about 10 years. I think they actually started with MMM which was control by a Russia scammer and after MMM crashed, many Ponzi scheme platform were launch with different names and patterns but they goals were all the same, to defraud people .This Ponzi scheme platforms won't stop, they will keep on relaunching with multiple names and if Nigerians don't want to be careful they might regret it later when the platform crashed. Nigeria should stop gambling with their money on Ponzi schemes it's too risky so they should stop putting their money into this platform because they are scams and they cannot be trusted.

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.

I'm still surprised that in 2026 people are still falling for ponzi scheme scammed, this is making it the third time this is happening this year,and many are still investing in it ,how gullible people could be, and I know before the year ends 4 will still come and mend away with their money ,since MMS crashed,I know how hard it was for me to recover and I don't see myself falling vitim again for them ,but because of greediness anytime,any day my country people will still fall for it ,it's really sad knowing people don't learn ,but it's all good,they should keep wasting money that way, out of greed they have been falling victims for years till this year,it's really well.

Critically looking at the situation and the way the economy is, you can't really blame people for investing in it because the economy is bad and there's massive hunger and starvation in the land so any little opportunity that will give them money they will quickly jump at it because they want to make profit, I was once a victim of MMM and after investing some huge amount of money in it, it got crashed and there was nothing I could do so no matter how juicy the ponzi scheme is, I can never put my money in it due to the trauma I went through during that period.

It is not greed sometimes because of the hardship in the economy so those that are not careful because of greed for money they keep falling victims. Someone came to me and was trying to convince me to join the NRC and I told him if I will pay money because joining then I'm not interested that's how the Man left me, all I can say is we should try to be careful not to key into every ponzi scheme we hear about.

Some times, I will burst out with laugh and rethink how people will invest money on a particular organisation that is not know to them or someone refer it to them by telling them that if you put in so, so amount of money, you will be getting triple of what you invested, and they will foolishly yield to it, without an investigation to know what has happened to those who invented wrongly. The funny part is that, they will go as far to borrow money to invest on this fake Ponzi scheme without not thinking if such scheme fail how do they will repay our loan, this is where suicide comes in. We can never learn unless we change our mentality of invest small and get big.

Another ponzi scheme just crashed yesterday.
read details

NRC claimed to be a read and earn platform that reward users for reading, referring and do daily tasks. Of course, it's not free. You pay for registration and upgrade your account to vip level. The more you upgrade with higher amount, the more you earn.

Now the website (I don't want to reveal it) is not longer accessible since yesterday. Thousands of people are affected, billions of naira reportedly gone just like that. They claim it's maintenance but we know it already because we are familiar with the game.

Red flags were there from day one but as usual, people ignored it. It guarantee returns, pay before earning and also relies heavily on referrals. These are obvious signs of ponzi and potential scam site but people are looking for quick money forgetting that wealth is built slowly.

Some of the victims are blaming government for not providing jobs for them and that's why they want to take the opportunity. That's not an excuse. If you have money to invest in ponzi schemes, you definitely have money to invest in legit asset like bitcoin but they prefer quick profit over patience.

This is 2026. We've seen enough of this incident and we suppose to have learn enough already. If they don't want to learn the proper way, they probably deserve what they got.

If them no de scam us for this country everybody eyes will not open and to be honest if I say I no happy for this thing that happen I lie because of this thing did not happen some people go still be looking for another one to do again, I don’t know why we Nigerians like free things and things that will bring profit without no thinking about the project, many people that got scammed are those people who are complaining about the country is not good and there is bad leaders but they are able to invest in something that no one knows about.

Am actually a victim i invested both in NRC and TAG i wouldn't blame those who also fall victim of these scam projects they made everything look so real even have a CAC registration number and also some government officials were also their promoters so people wouldn't actually know it was just a ponzi scheme because they were even organizating program in different states with so much crowd and people were attending them so if Nigeria was a working country those frusd stars would have been fish out by now.

If it's because NRC and TAG showed people their CAC registration number and also have some government officials who were their promoters is the reason why we shouldn't blame those who fall victim of the exist scam of NRC and TAG, I will blame you and other persons that allowed themselves to be used by NRC and TAG because you guys knows how corrupt Nigeria is, anyone can have a CAC registration number in Nigeria as far as the person has the money to settle the person issuing a CAC registration number. What made people to invest in NRC and TAG was the high return of investment they promised, which should have been a red flag but people allowed greed make them take unnecessary risk which they regretted.
