This guy is bitting more than he can chew. Google is an independent company, not answereble to any country, not to talk of Nigeria. If those apps are still online, it means google has not found any reasons to take them offline. Get that into ur thick skulls APC fools

those apps should be banned. they are using Nigerians to do MMM. imagine giving someone loan of 40k and you ask the person to pay you 80k in just 14days. Even if the person is paying back 80k in 2 months, its still too much....is this not MMM. they are making cool cash from poor Nigerians. you borrow someone 6k and in 14 days you ask the person. to pay you 12k meaning you charged him 50% interest in 14days. This is a criminal act and they must be stopped. Their interest is too high and they are breaking CBN rules on loan issuance and interest to be charged on loans.

If you are owing them, don't pay them, they should fold up and go. The ones they have collected from poor Nigerians so far is OK.

they give you 4k and wants you to pay back 8k in 14 days
they give you 30k and wants you to pay back 65k in 2 months
8k to pay back 12k in 14 days
12k you pay back 18k in 14 days
100k you pay back 200k in 3 month

Tell me, is this not MMM with the poor masses

This is a criminal act and they must be arrested and stopped.,

I currently uses Okash. I started with 6k and paid 8k after two weeks. They upgraded me to 16k to pay 18k after two weeks. Now they upgraded it to 36k to pay 46k after 28 days. Though I have not taken that offer.

What I see is that once you pay them before your due date, they have no problem with you. I do not support their breach of users privacy though.

I hope folks understand that in the next few months, people will feel the absence of these loan platforms. The quick money to solve issue will not be there. Nigerians will only get acess to loans from conventional banks and that is almost impossible unless you have good credit rating.
The only other option will be family and friends. I assure you no friend is willing to help anyone in these trying buhari times. Default rate is high so quarell btw friends is not needed.
My paddy as I write is asking me for 1m till month end that he will add 50k ontop. I bone am ignore the message. Na my tight paddy oh.. But I don't want the wahala of chasing person. Before he would have gotten that money from 2 loan apps easy.

Who send that person to still go and borrow, you know that the interest rate is high you still went into agreement, is that not foolishness, then secondly concerning this loan Nigerians are not sincere enough, some will borrow and deliberately avoid paying, then for the government they got no sense, instead of banning why not regulate them.
Foreign countries mostly European countries they borrow from this kind of online lenders, their own is working well, why? it is because their government regulates their business activities

Google should be held responsible, most of the people behind loan apps are thieves. I have reported a particular Loan App that is only have verification details more than twice. What does guys behind do is to comment and give 5stars to the app every day. With that google algorithm is cancelled out, it wouldn't detect the fraud and genuine complaints.

The worse part is that they don't go through complaint made directly to them.

The Federal Government should take them up

The stupidity is the government failing to enact laws that bars these companies from operating. Which bank accounts are the repaytments being made? Are they not Nigerian banks? Why can't FG instruct banks to close accounts of those loan companies or reject their transactions? Common sense is not common, it is better to pick a battle against Google instead and mumu people on Nairaland will hail them for it....RUBBISH!

The funniest thing is that all these loan apps companies are very smart and crafty ! before they even start the business at all, they have already designed theirs means of collecting back their money through commercial banks without trace. Different account is generated in each customer's name and is linked with customers BVN. This account is given to each customer for repayment. The details of the said account is only known to the bank and the loan company. Once repayment is made they withdraw the money. The one I use partnered with wema bank so I automatically have wema account now. I can give you to make a deposit into the account I will see the money in my wallet on the app. So the account is only traceable to me and not the loan company. I think there is secret agreement btw loan companies and banks.

You don't know how much intertwined Google is with other apps and online services we can't do without. Have you tried using a new model Huawei phone? You will be cut from the rest of the world.

Sure, the FG can ban it, but they will never try such. If Google remains stubborn to FG pleas, FG has no choice but to find another way to hit their target. Banning Google is not an option.

Lol! They slapped Twitter several months ban and nothing happened. And this is twitter that all the youths use heavily o! Last last we for go use Mastodon (open source Twitter alternative and in my opinion a danger environment). If the FG wants to ban Google, they will. And not even 100m Nigerian Gmail users will cough. We go go open outlook.com email box.

And for the Huawei Phones, if you have the know how you can build Android to run on the Huaweis

Yeah right we have so many alternatives, why are people not using them? Even your android phone is powered by Google. A search engine that indexes more than a trillion websites using state of the art algorithms leveraging AI and ML and your govt wants to block it. Talk about self destruction!

So why not reject the loans since the terms are not favorable?
You agreed and took the money, spent it, when it is time to pay you decided to shift the goal post claiming all sorts.
Why take such loans? Why not borrow from family and friends?

So No, my Smartphone runs Android. Android is not Google as well. Google is the most advanced search engine. But it isn't the only one out there. Google doesn't work in China. So there are loads of cases that have proven that they can work with Google. And No, the government is not banning Google. They don't want Google to make the apps of these loan sharks available for download in Nigeria. And it's not that hard a request

Google Inc.
Android Inc., was bought by the American search engine company Google Inc., in 2005. At Google, the Android team decided to base their project on Linux, an open source operating system for personal computers.


a fair request, google will only ban or remove an app if it is a rogue application. The government of the country, through proper financial services regulation, would have to monitor/sanction the operators.

Re: Apps: FG Moves To Probe Google For Aiding Loan Sharks by jimcaddy(m): 10:35pm On Apr 01, 2022
Where I have problem with Google is that they don't do verification checks on these apps. It's an open source platform, hence any web or app developer can just wake up one day and develop a loan application. Not licensed, not registered. And there is it on Google with so many fake reviews. How can Google bots not detect spam reviews? The spam reviews are so much more than the real review, so it doesn't have any effect on the rating of that app. So Google won't pull such an app down. But I think Google should be able to have a contact in Africa where grievances can be made. I can just wake up one morning as an app developer and develop an app to recruit terrorists. And Google won't still know about it. This is the main reason why most app developers prefer Google than Apple. It's so easy on Google, whereas not that easy on Apple.

It is easier said, but cannot be done.

FG has the power to, but it's a power that can never be exercised. We ain't a one-nation army like China.
