Those at the top of the pyramid, will cash on the people at the middle and lowest level, while those at the middle will make little profits, on those at the lowest, this is what the ponzi scheme is about, so those people who want to cash on early, are only propagating the scam.

Have noticed a pattern

Whenever there is a pending recession or a current recession in Nigeria, a lot of Ponzi schemes spring up,

Just like in late 2016 and 2017, it was only MMM, there were like hundreds, MMM was just the biggest because it had billions of naira in it.

Forex is real and sometimes just like any investment the value of your investment can go up and go down, this is what people fall for and the fund managers too never are truth full about the whole thing.

Apart from Nigeria stock exchange, all other investment schemes in Nigeria are Ponzi run alike. They simply subtitute funds of new members for old members. If it’s years or months Kasala will eventually burst

Anyone please I run a hotel business and I’m looking for someone to invest in my hotel business, I make 600,000 naira in sales every month ( I have my books of records for
Anyone to see and view )

I need investments above 50k . I can easily offer a 30 percent return on investment

Please my hotel business is a real
Business and is located on the expressway here in Ibadan

Please reply to this text so we can publicly discuss everything on here for everyone to see

Please help rich people in the house

His loss is also your loss because I doubt if he would refund you.
I have actually resolved in my mind to let it go if he's unable to refund( he definitely won't be able to) But he will never come close to me with money matter again. My aunt(his mother) called me in panic yesterday asking me what's next, thinking the money will cause wahala between us!...... just imagine what his actions is making my aunt go through

I know much persons like u will still come under this tweet. Defend any shit u wanna defend, bet n forex is absolutely same. It's simple. Only those that can't been in both can be deceived.

This is same language that lures pple in n hardly end well. Ur trying to defend forex now.. lemme give u money to trade for me n make profit., We will still have to come BK here to settle scores.
Bet and Forex are similar but are not the same. They both involve speculation. In bet, cash out of an event you predicted that is going in your favour or not in your favour is based on the discretion of the bookmaker like bet9ja. Example: Mr. A places a huge stack of bets on bet9ja with 100 naira in a bid to win 30 million naira, and all the games have entered, remaining ,Leicester to win Brighton @ under 2.5.... Mr.A cashing out is fully at the discretion of Bet9ja. If bet9ja doesn't offer this option and Leicester goes on to win the game 2-1; Mr. A loses everything.
On the other hand , in Forex , if Mr. A buys eurusd and expects it to move by 40 pips and it has moved by 5 pips...if A believes the move may go agst him, the Forex broker totally permits him to cut the trade there and take his profit.

I am very skeptical when it comes to forex, it sounds magical, too good to be true, they mesmerize people
Sonyboom:
You too sabi
But I like how they teach fools to be wise.
If you tell Nigeria not to invest in anything Forex them go do like say na dem sabi pass.

I am yet to see any rich personality common who claim he became rich via Forex trading.

I dont trade 4 people and I do what I do with joy and fulfillment. I ain't trying to deceive or convince anyone,I'm just stating things based on my own experience and understanding,Nigerians discouraged me from taking this path but encouraged me to invest in mmm I chose my path and it was worth it that's all that matters to me.

She got angry few months later she called me and told me about how the one man was about to run away with investors money and now she in debt and the suppose man at efcc custody. A lot of people had invested in the scam company through her.

They will continue to do such schemes, especially the people who are into 419

If you want to be richer than dangote in this country just start a Ponzi scheme with empty promises. A lot of Nigerians will invest. If they have learnt their lesson the hard way they will still invest in it with the excuse that business is full of risk.
Re: SEC Disowns MBA FOREX Investment, Calls It A Ponzi Scheme by fireback: 10:11am On Dec 25, 2020
what's all this noise about MBA. did they force anybody to invest. nobody was hold on a gun point to invest in MBA. people went into it with their eyes open. I have #2m with them and am not regretting it. I knew it was a Ponzi game, even when someone introduced it to me as a forex trade, I told him plainly it was a Ponzi game before investing with them. at least I made more than #3m from them before they stopped paying.
this is how I use to introduce MBA to people... I will tell them it's like a game. you may win or loose. I do tell them the business will come and go, but if you're lucky you will make lots of money before it go. and I tell them to play it like a BabaIjebu and naira bet. I advise them not to put people's money in it. play Ponzi with your personal money, don't borrow to play. infact I have another one (Ponzi GAME) am playing right now (bara investment. also Ponzi game). they're like a rival to MBA and am sure they are the ones that crashed MBA...
my tribute to MBA - my dear MBA if this is your final bus/stop, I want to tell you that you have done well. you have made so many people rich, even though you are going down with some investors money, but you still made some of us (those who knows how to play the game) proud. please when next you're coming, come with a bigger interest rate, bcoz that your 15% is too small and that was why BARA nock you out immediately with very little fight. Goodbye MBA. see you next year in another form with a new name.

They are still defending that it never crashed oooooo.

Greed and poverty won't allow Nigerians to be wise.
Imagine someone calling Ponzi an INVESTMENT.

All this schemes will never work in Nigeria anymore. I once saw some complaining he invested 55mil in MBA. I was like.... "What level of greed is this"?? A company u ain't the owner n anything can happen at any moment. He would have easily used d money to go into properties. If eventually he doesn't get BK his money from MBA, what's he gonna dohuh

My friend even used his life to convince me around June this year to go n invest with MBA, I refused. He did everything possible n I refused. I asked him several questions. If MBA claims they use a robot which helps them monitor d market well n avoid loses, what happens if almost everyone in d forex biz got that same robot? You think d forex companies will happily be running a biz without making profits ??

Forex is equivalent to bet. There is no single difference. Both are profit n loss biz. Now ask urself this question.. if bettors are always winning every game they stake, do u think bookies will continue emerging from no where on daily basis? Bookies are fully aware they are gaining more than the bettors, therefore will continue with their biz n can't close down. This is same thing applicable to d so called forex. If u think it's a joke, them go n learn n start investing. U will end up understanding this analysis.

Those into forex will always find a way to convince u it's better than bet. I have been into both n u can't convince me. The relationship between both is that LOSSES are both involved. Forex traders will always wanna proove to be legit and legal n see bettors as sinful gamblers whereas both parties are in d business of GAMBLING.


MBA was simply into Ponzi. They were using the new investors money to pay the old investors,d moment d newbies influx got low,they started having issues paying again. Issa simple LOGIC
forex is not gambling.betting is gambling I agreed .Forex is more technical and skilled oriented.it is a skill.Thats why some study it to become professionals.There is no luck in it.
For MBA they are just ponzi scheme.They are using forex name to scam ppl that's all.

I didn't solicit for your funds so what makes you think I want it? Real returns on fx range from 2-20 percent per year. And that is the same for any investment company out there. There are collective investment schemes registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission...do your research and pick any among them.

Dangote got a dividend of over N230 billion from Dangote Cement in 2019, it is possible for him to invest part of his dividends in Eurobonds, real estate in the US, or New York Stock Market, in order to earn dollar denominated coupons, rents and dividends
It's possible for to do all what you mentioned, but not possible to trade?

Oga betting and forex are not the same. One deals purely on speculation, the other deals on forecast based on macroeconomic trends. The problem is like most peoppe like you are not patienct to learn the rudiments and dont have the psychology of an investor. They want to cash out immediately. Others get fruatrated after a short while and say its gambling. When they say watch channels like Bloomberg, CNBC and follow Yahoo Finance, you would be watching BB Naija and Soundcity. Now look at how you are exposing your ignorance.

Even football betting is a skill. Forex and Football betting are thesame thing. First one you are trading to make money on foreign currency fluctuations. Second one, you are trading to make money on football results which are also subject to fluctuations. You don't control the outcomes in both. It is thesame structure involved.

There are people who win football betting everyday. Is that luck ? No, they have mastered the skill.

The bookmakers are human beings. You can study what they do and understand it very well after amassing tons of data.

All businesses that involves speculation example: stock trading,sports betting, Forex trading, binary options, crypto currencies are all the same nothing different. Just a change of name.

It's stupidity call sports betting gambling and Forex trading investment.

Gambling can be simply be defined as risking money to make more money.

So in all businesses listed above it all involves risking money to make more money. All the businesses above are in the same category.
There are differences in all.they are not the same.there are no business you will engage that you won't risk money to get money.Absolute known.
While it seems forex is different from them is that forex is highly skilled oriented and very volatile.
It takes a lot to acquire the skill.yes
