InvestmentRe: Eight Tips To Avoid Falling For Investment Scams In Nigeria by Synord(op): 6:09am On Apr 15, 2021
NO BETTER TIME

There’s no better time to start than this very moment .

90 percent of the time , we postpone a lot of beneficial things because our mentality is fixed on “ what if it doesn’t work “ and “ I want quick money “ .

Rome wasn’t built in a day . This is why it takes 6 years to finish secondary school , additional four years for tertiary education and a year for the youth service .

An average undergraduate spends nothing less than a million naira to pass through all these aforementioned stages and yet , after all the stress and toil, no reasonable job with proper salary structure awaits them .

The government has left the youths and indeed we the citizens to sort out ourselves . We need to feed , cloth , get shelter and live a comfortable life .

How do we do this without defrauding or stealing ?

Yes . We have been praying . But God is not going to come down from heaven .

Nobody can help You like You will help yourself .

It is time you arm yourself with a skill . Digital marketing is there . Affiliate marketing is there . Crypto is there . Programming is there .


You have no excuse. You are the only reason why you are poor .

The blame is not on Nigeria . The blame is not on your parents .
The blame is not on your siblings.

The blame is on YOU.

Stop Giving Excuses . You can never learn if you don’t take a risk .

If you fail , you have experience . If it succeeds, you improve . If you do nothing , then unfortunately you remain stagnant and keep recycling the little you earn .

Break Free now and do everything to make sure you make Legal Money this 2021 .

Don’t be left out when others are progressing .

We shall all succeed.

What is Intellectual Property ?

• There is no universal definition for Intellectual property. . Intellectual property can however be defined as the rights vested in a creator over his Intellectual creation and protected by the law preventing others from exploiting the creation without the Creator's due authorization and allowing the creator to enjoy rewards and benefits from such Intellectual creation without hindrance from third parties.

• You used your " Intellect "in creating something thus whatever you created using your Intellect is your " property," . Another person cannot come and claim that what you spent your time and effort making belongs to them . Intellectual property recognizes the Creator as the Lord and master of their own works and allows the person to enjoy his/her work and use it as he/she wishes provided it is not against stated laws.

• Nobody has the right to use your creation or work without due permission and approval from You .

One thing common to all these people and their stories is that they displayed total Ignorance of their Intellectual rights and were accordingly exploited. These scenarios are sadly a normal occurrence among creatives in Nigeria . Creatives are exploited of their fundamental benefits and deprived of the enjoyment of the rewards from their talent and their sleepless nights.

• Creatives are denied the fruits of their labour as they wallow in the sheer ignorance of basic facts about their talent and craft

• This is what the series is aimed at correcting . Correcting the anomaly of ignorance among creatives towards their intellectual property rights.

‘The Creatives Dilemma

• Oke is a music producer . In 2019, he produced a smash hit track titled " Jump In" for an A list artiste in Nigeria . In 2020, a big company wanted to use the Instrumentals and composition of the song in their video games and contacted the artist he produced the song for. The artiste was paid over 20 million naira but Oke never got a Dime. The artiste claimed he had paid Oke his " production " fees and he is the sole owner of the song . Thus, he wasnt going to give Oke anything after he has bought and paid Oke fully for the song production .

INVESTMENTS : HOW TO AVOID INVESTMENT SCAMS IN NIGERIA (PART ONE)


Investment can be described as the allocation of capital upon an asset, mechanism or item with the goal of generating income and appreciation on such asset, mechanism or item in the nearest future.

Some of the very popular assets people invest in nowadays include but not limited to ; Cryptocurrency , Bonds, Stocks, Real Estate Property, Treasury Bills, Forex, Land ,Precious metals and Non Fungible tokens .

Investments remain one of the key ways of building wealth by financially inclined persons across the world . Anyone that is interested in generating sufficient income for the present and future will understand the importance of investments and why it is necessary to educate themselves on how to avoid investment scams .

“I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.” — Warren Buffett, United States Billionaire and avid investor.

The Year 2021 is here and everyone is striving to achieve financial independence . A lot fraudulent individuals are also trying hard to scam hard working Nigerians of their hard earned money . In order not to fall victim , please avoid any of these schemes , investment platforms or businesses you see below :

1) Fixed Game Gambling – This is extremely dangerous . There is nothing fixed in gambling . That is why it’s called gambling . Platforms, persons or companies that offer fixed sport games are totally fraudulent and should be totally avoided .

2) More than 10 percent R0I – ROI means return on investments . Business platforms,persons or entities that promises more than 10 percent return on your investment within a month if you invest with them and you wouldn’t have to do any other task asides dropping capital , please dust your shoes or sandals and do what ? RUN !!.

There is no investment platform in Nigeria that can give you more than 10 percent on your investments for doing nothing. The only way there can be more than ten percent return on investments is when the interest on your capital is compounded over a period of not less than 6 months.

As such, desist from forex companies or platforms promising more than 10 percent ROI every month .

3) Refer before Earning -Any business that states you must bring two or three people before you start earning should be avoided totally . If the model is sustainable, you should start earning immediately . If you have to refer two to three people before you get money , then it’s bad business . An investment platform that thrives on referral is basically paying investors from the funds of the new referrals that joined and such platform is making no actual returns .MMM, Ultimate Cycler , NNN etc comes to mind .

4) Verification – Does the platform have a verifiable website and are they duly registered with CAC ( Corporate Affairs Commission ) and SEC (Securities and Exchange Commmision ) . Make sure you check out the platform on the CAC website and also on SEC website . If there is no record of them , RUN !!!! You should also endeavor to use sites like Nairaland and Twitter to search the platforms and listen to what people are saying about them .

5) Insurance – Are your investments insured ? . Do due diligence to ensure that the platform has a proper insurance policy with a reputable insurance firm . Better still, there is a trustee arrangement with a reputable trustee.

6) Source of Revenue – Where will the platform be getting the money they are using to pay you your return on investments ? How risky is this source ? . Can a government policy end all their revenue sources if implemented ? . Is the revenue source legal and Appropriate ? . How sustainable is it ? What is their Yearly Records ?. These are salient questions an investor should ask .

7) Risk Level – Proper investment platforms tell you of the risk involved . Any platform that doesn’t tell you about the risk involved as regards investment is a big scam . All investments comes with risks. Good and reliable investment platforms outline the risks involved and advice you on how to spread your investments with minimal risks .

8 ) Limited Offer – Most scam investments offer limited offers claiming it is only available for a while and anyone that doesn’t join them now is losing out . A proper investment or business will never tell you to quickly join or you can’t become a millionaire if you don’t join . Desperation is one of the things that should be avoided at all cost . If you noticed anyone is too desperate in convincing you to join a platform , it might be better you don’t join .

THE LOGIC OF PONZI SCHEMES

Some investors may say “But people are being paid ” . In fact they have a office . ? Yes . This is the logic of most Ponzi schemes and investment scams . Baiting people with the fact that a few are paid for the first one to 6ix months after which they start duping people . In the next article , we will properly outline all the tactics that are employed by investment scams in Nigeria based on professional advice from the regulatory bodies and former helmsmen of these scam schemes.

CONCLUSION

One of the things I tell people is that nobody can deceive you if you make your own research and findings . Let nobody sweet talk you . Find out and have a mind of your own . Nobody should force you by fire by force to make money . It is only when you understand the value and the work required that you should continue .
