Ponzi schemes has been trending on social media lately following the arrest of the founder of Brisk Investment Capital for 2 billion naira fraud. He reportedly scammed hundreds of investors after promising them 60% returns on investment (ROI). He instead used their money to fund his extravagant lifestyle.

Ponzi scheme did not start today in Nigeria, infact millions of Nigerians have lost money in several 'investment' platforms. One would think that they will learn from experience, but the opposite is the case. Checkout 6 of the several notorious Ponzi schemes that have existed in Nigeria.

1. MMM: After contributing money to a fellow member, you were to receive three times what you contributed from other members. Sadly, the system was not designed to last.

2. Ultimate Cycler: With #12500 you can earn #50,000 in three days! Can you imagine that? There's no how this would have lasted. A lot of people lost money too.

MMM is the highest

A pastor in RCCG used his time on the pulpit to share MMM Flyer and even made sure his flock registered using his referrals.

Not only was he saving their soul from the devil, he was also saving their children schools fees from other wolves referral bonus accounts.

Omeaux MMM was the highest abeg
