9 money doubling schemes Nigerians invest in

Nigerians no doubt love every scheme that has to do with money doubling; the rate at which people invest in ponzi schemes confirms this.

While nobody has the right to stop people from spending money the way they want to, the best one can do is to educate and advise them on these schemes and the fatal blow they may be dealt with at the long run.

Nigerians like many other people in the rest of the world have the tendency to get carried away by the goodness of schemes that can make them rich overnight. They get excited with the prospect of making money that they would not make ordinarily by working.

Online ponzi schemes have gained a whole lot of popularity following the profit people made from the MMM, which was the most popular as at last year. Nigerians who invest in schemes like this justify their actions by blaming the economic recession for it. They felt participating in schemes like that would alienate their sufferings and make things better for them.

The Central Bank of Nigeria was against MMM, the most prominent of the schemes. Strong words of warning were issued to many people but only a few heeded to them. With the suspension of the MMM scheme, Nigerians moved on to other paying schemes. Life goes on as it never ends.

1. MMM Nigeria

There is no way ponzi schemes will be listed without including MMM. It has remained the most prominent online money making portal in Nigeria. MMM Nigeria is part of the MMM global community; it is a Russian ponzi scheme that has been in existence since 1989.

This online money making portal changed the lives of many Nigerians as those who invested in it early became millionaires. This scheme helped lots of people by providing a platform where millions of people were able to provide 'Help' for those in 'Need'.

The scheme gave members a 30 percent return upon investing. This scheme crept into the country's cyberspace and made thousands of people put their savings into it.
