Caseless: Even in developed countries, there are many defaulters. It is not a Nigerian thing. It is easier to collect a loan than pay it back. And not all borrowers are wicked. Many circumstances make it difficult to repay loans. The Chinese lenders operating in Nigeria add to these circumstances by offering small loans with high interests to be repaid in a week. Imagine offering someone a paltry 3000 naira loan, and expecting them to repay 5200, which is more than 50% of the loan. And you expect them to repay in 7-14 days. Is that not WICKEDNESS You should give people enough time to repay. And offer reasonable interests. That is why Google does not allow short-duration loans. These loan apps keep breaking Google's policies. They are criminals, and deserve no pity. 6 Likes |

BluntTheApostle: Nigerians want people they can take loans from and not repay. It is another Nigerian trait. Thinking one is clever. Already so many people are saying great, these companies will be banned and I would have gotten away with it. I don't know if all these sudden stories of the loan apps being run by Chinese are true or just something put together for an us vs them flavor, but if they are it is a case of see finish They have seen our leaders selling us out cheaply to their leaders for Chinese loans and are simply repeating the process. 1 Like |

Caseless:Yes. 90% of the loan sharks are owned by chinese. They have been traced! One Mr Wang is the owner of sokoloan and so many other sister apps to hoodwink people. They are even banned in China Please o. Avoid them. They will make life miserable for you because the loan when put in business or anything doesn't get good result. You find yourself struggling to pay in very few days thereby going to borrow from another to pay another and end up been in their web all your earnings will be going to them |

BluntTheApostle: It is not wickeness it is business. Bank loans with interest are gen same. It is also about risk. You already know the person taking this loan is a high risk for default. By now anyone taking these loans knows exactly what's up. But people still go to them. Nigerians unfortunately are mostly of low character and self discipline where loans are concerned. Your contractor gets a loan to do a project and immediately buys a new ride. Your paddy borrows money from you has different stories but you can see him living it up every day. Oddly enough if it actually is Chinese triads, this is beyond Google, as they will just preload the apps all those transsion phones. I have read before that a lot of those phones ship with trojans |

GloriousGbola:100% true. I speak and write Chinese. When I was in their web, I spoke in chinese to one of their financial manager in Nigeria. He was entized and offered me a job with them but I just smiled and played around with him on phone... He told me of their head office at Beijing because we were discussing my time in China and all that. Even from the software they use to extract customers contact on phones...

GloriousGbola: It is not a Nigerian trait. It is a human trait. No one really likes to repay their loans, even wealthy people from developed countries. It is easier to collect a loan than repay it. I don't know if all these sudden stories of the loan apps being run by Chinese are true or just something put together for an us vs them flavor, but if they are it is a case of see finish There is Okash in Kenya. So, it is not see finish. They just look for a country where there are many people to exploit, and where the law does not work properly. Can they try this nonsense in the United States? Dem no born dem well. Can they try it in China? But you will find them in African countries like Nigeria where there is a combination of poor desperate people and inadequate law enforcement. But thank God, the FG has finally awoken to its responsibilities to protect the Nigerian people from these opportunists masquerading as digital banks. |

Ademola47:This what happens when you have "government pikins" running things. They don't give a darn about how the business survives. As you rightly asked what will happen to the monies already given as loans? What about the investors monies? Who knows, maybe the government officials also owe money. Anyway, it is convenient to shut down the loan companies, good! When Nigerians need soft loans they would have to go to their banks or micro finance houses, present collateral, wait for months and yet have 10% chances of the loan being approved. We think we are smart but on the long run, we are not. 1 Like 1 Share |

GloriousGbola: No bank charges even 20% interest rate, not to talk about close to 100% It is wickedness and exploitative, especially when you charge that much for a short-term loan. By now anyone taking these loans knows exactly what's up. But people still go to them. People go to them because they are desperate. Desperate people will do anything without a second thought. It doesn't mean everyone borrows with the intention of not paying back. Nigerians unfortunately are mostly of low character and self discipline where loans are concerned. You are just being judgmental. Your contractor gets a loan to do a project and immediately buys a new ride. Your paddy borrows money from you has different stories but you can see him living it up every day. It happens everywhere. Even in the United States. People don't enjoy repaying loans. And they like freebies. If you are well-traveled as I am, you will understand that there are people who even tell lies in court in the hope of debt forgiveness even when they have the money. Oddly enough if it actually is Chinese triads, this is beyond Google, as they will just preload the apps all those transsion phones. I have read before that a lot of those phones ship with trojans But they will keep keep making huge losses every time they are discovered by the appropriate authorities. At the end, they will have to abide by laid-down policies to survive. 3 Likes |

The Orders of the Commission are without prejudice to existing borrowers repaying any legitimate loans pursuant to fair and acceptable terms and conditions; or any modifications to previous terms and conditions that are considered onerous, inconsistent with prevailing law or general principles of transparency and fairness. Existing borrowers are to pay existing loans The Federal Government agency asked Google and Apple to delete the applications where evidence has established inappropriate conduct or use of the application in violation of the rights of consumers Those without evidence of inappropriate conduct are allowed to continue As part of the operation, the JRETF together with the Nigeria Police Force and bailiff of the Federal High Court searched locations of the money lenders, extracted valuable evidence and in some circumstances prohibited or restricted continuing operations. In some circumstances restricted operations not all circumstances Those under regulatory sanctions will be shut down completely without regulatory discourse if they continue their unethical practices Nigerians don't read |

Dawn91:there are lots of guys like you that think you are smart but are not at all. Government can take down websites in their countries and apps that do not fit their policies. Every thing that works through the internet has a IP and telecoms companies operating in a company can be ordered to block that IP apps, websites etc. Russia, china, even USA have apps and websites they have banned from their countries.

BluntTheApostle:Where do you think the term "loan sharks" originated from. Besides, you have pay day loan establishments all over the world. UK, US etc. They are present there and you pay a higher interest rate than the regular banks. What do you mean by exploit? You open your phone, searched the app, downloaded it. The applied for a loan, saw the terms and accepted. You had an option to reject it. No, you took the money. When it is now time to pat, you say you are exploited. Laughable! 1 Like 1 Share |
