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.

lost 6.8 million to bet9ja virtual upper friday and $650 last friday. I've been loosing money to bet9ja right from nigeria until now, so i can't really say a specific amount. I'm determined to stop now, in the long run, gambling makes you broke and poor. I can't even take care of myself very well.
Lesson learnt: if you need money or under pressure to recover your losses, DO NOT GAMBLE!!!!!! you'll lose more and secondly, use whatever money you have to pay off debts you owe because YOU CAN'T REALLY PLAN WELL WHILE THINKING OF PAYING DEBTS.
I think we should have a platform on how to stop6 gambling, IT'S KILLING OUR FUTURE.

No worry boss. That time no go ever come. I've learnt to learn from the mistakes of other Persons So I don't fall into what they fell in too.

I lost 400k to mmm Tuesday 12th December 2016.. I will never forget that date.
I was just greedy, my money had matured about two weeks earlier, but I wanted it to stay close to December, to flex life.. But then tragedy struck..

Well, I learnt a tough lesson, cos since then I haven't lost any money through any investment like ponzi or pyramid schemes. I learnt that no nigerian can ever advertise any money making scheme free of charge without something sinister or something they stand to gain, my country men will hide any opportunity that actually makes money.

SukaBlyat:
Lost 140k to betting.
I don't even want to elaborate on it

The more I think of it, the more I feel like shooting and slapping myself for being so careless

IYANGBALI:
I have never losted money before in my life, instead I am always finding money

jlo247:
During the pandemic lock down I bought one yeye Nigeria used car for 350 which I later sold during the same pandemic lock down for 87k. Lesson always seek for advice from experienced ones in any field.

MiaBeer:


You need to discourage yourself from generalizing. Every tribe is Good and every tribe is bad.
I can give you double of that money #68,100 if you stop the hate in your system because that's a million times worse than what you lost. Ok?

BuchiPrinzy:
It will not be well with all these Binomo people.
Ogun go kill them all.

9k on 1xbet in 2018...it was my flexing money for the semester

Lesson learnt.. I stop de stake pass 100#
Na 1.05 basketball cut the ticket

Micheno Multipurpose Cooperative headed by one stupid and never do well, Michael Eke, and one useless unfunny comedian Aya Mbakara, those guys scammed unsuspecting investors to the tune of 30 billion since 2018 and sadly my 10million Naira was part of it. The painful aspect was that I am not a fan of HYIP schemes, I felt since they were making payments for upto 5 months I should quickly make a gain out of the scheme and boom a week to my payout after waiting for about 30 days the stories started coming up.

Lesson Learnt : Never ever invest in HYIP/Ponzi scheme.

Birdeyeview:
I lost 755k to an ex some years back...
He claimed he was into real estates and property
Not knowing he was just in the relationship for some selfish reasons I had no forsight of because yeah I was so gullible and stupid enough not to have paid attention to all the signs around coupled with the fact he always kept his family life and background personal.

Lesson learnt: Avoid investing into any sort of relationship if you have any atom of doubt and always get your fact right about anyone irrespective of the love you have or share together.
Humans can be so unpredictable

first big loss in my life was to stock market and all those portfolio developers aims asset management inclusive.
the next was a car i took a close mech to purchase. in the end, at was a melon.
if the car takes you out, no guarantee it would bring you back that is if you get to the destination in the first place

Nuttella:
When I was much younger, I sent a guy I was dating online 5k cause he was in need of money, such fuckery! How he was able to bill me and knock out 5k from me is still a mystery to me till date and we never for once met till we broke up online so I could recoup my money. .


Such loss!!!

My biggest loss was 26K I loaned a friend which twenty years later he has refused to pay back. I learned that a good heart means nothing to Nigerians. The average Nigerian gets confused when treated nicely and mistakes goodwill for weakness.

I never wanted go down the memory lane towards this, but for life lessons, I will share this. I think mine is the most recent.
Friday, 10th January 2020 will be a date I'll never let go. While working with bet9ja in Plateau, Mangu to be precise, as a means of additional income since we corpers didn't get a dime from the state government, let alone our respective LG of primary assignment.
This was unarguably the best work I could find then, thoughts of the daily take homes, salary (8k), where I won't need to touch my FG allawee and a long list of personal reasons. As u may know, as a staff in bet9ja, u try to satisfy which ever customer comes ur way, so as to get their attention, preference,favour etc. especially when it has to do with virtual game, so you can be assured of ur daily take home(overs they call it).
There's a man who reportedly used to come from a nearby village(Kerang village) to play virtual. B4 I met this man, I've never seen or heard a gambler to the core. Someone who can throw 100-200k for virtual games. As time went on, we built an understanding,all thanks to the fact that, he always pays his cash/transfers in full no matter the amount he lost and the joy(money) he gives to me even when loosing. We understood our self to a point that, I can stake game of 150k for him b4 he transfers, which was very much against the rules of the company, while him on the other side will never play game on any other system when corper(me) is not around, not knowing a tornadoe was gonna blow someday. On this particular but unforgettable day,this man played virtual with a sum of 132k after which he showed me what I can't decipher till date from fake alert, bounced transfer or no transfer. After about 10-15mins of waiting for alert, with no show, I dismissed the man and permitted him to go, thinking twas just ordinary delay, being that he has been doing successful transfers b4, and has never owed me a dime, so I didn't want to keep a big and nice customer on grounds of delayed alert. I waited till 9pm where we do check and balance, still no show, that was when it occurred to me that "I don buy big market". Shocked i never saw this man till d day I left Plateau. Guess what happened next ? I may share how this act would av hampered my certificate subsequently in this forum. A lot transpired from this temptation of which if not for God, and my innocence, I would av been deemed "absconded NYSC". This is why at the mention of BET9JA by any soul, I can fight till daybreak. This is my biggest lost, and I swear will be the last, because I'll be as wise as Lucifer. Because I've not achieved my dreams, plans and goals, capped with the trauma I was and still in, with thoughts of throwing away 142k (plus police case file 10k) for nothing but just to redeem myself. I wished I never served.

Chinedu1994:


Sorry, bro.
It's really unfortunate.
But life goes on.
You will be alright.

Last year, I hawked for a month and saved 10k, only for me to loose it to a scammer.
