Ponzi schemes are now rampant in Nigeria as we are seeing emergence of new ones even after what MMM Nigeria participants are currently passing through. This is why we compiled this list of fake ponzi schemes in Nigeria as of this year. 2017

However, before we proceed, shall we see the definition of a Ponzi scheme? In this article, we have included two most popular definition for the term as you can see below.

First definition: It's a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a non-existent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

Second Definition: It's a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors, rather than from profit earned through legitimate sources.

Credit goes to Wikipedia for the definition which incorporate all the words and terms to reveal the true meaning of Ponzi.

The word Ponzi was originated and named after Charles Ponzi. He died in the year 1949. He was the first man who carried out such a fraud in the year 1919–1920.

This type of business started gaining grounds in Nigeria in 2014 but increased drastically in 2016 as millions of Nigerian youths and even the aged people joined one scheme or the other in order to make quick money. No thanks to the poor economic situation and non availability of jobs for the youth.

One funny but interesting secret about this ponzi stuff is that most of them pays. In fact, many people have become millionaires through Ponzi schemes but why are some people not favored or scammed on it? The reason is because the real beneficiaries of any ponzi scheme are the pioneers (those that started it) once the scheme grows very big, the new members pays with their money unknowingly.
