In the past decade, Nigeria has witnessed a tsunami of Ponzi schemes that have fleeced citizens of trillions of naira under the guise of “investments”, “donations”, and “cooperative societies”.
These scams, often masquerading as financial salvation in a country battered by economic hardship, have left millions of Nigerians in tears, despair, and in some cases, death.
A comprehensive list of 50 Ponzi schemes that have devastated households, ruined small businesses, and exposed the Nigerian government’s inability to protect its people from organized digital fraud.
From the infamous MMM Nigeria that shook the nation in 2016, to the more recent BitFinance Global and CBEX in 2025, these scams share a similar DNA: they promise high returns for little effort, thrive on ignorance, prey on desperation, and vanish without trace.
Despite warnings from financial experts and some regulatory agencies, many of these platforms operated openly, some even advertising on national television and partnering with celebrities and influencers.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) have often reacted after the damage was done.
While some perpetrators have been arrested, many remain free, rebranding under new names or relocating their digital operations abroad.
The lack of coordinated intelligence sharing and the absence of punitive regulations have turned Nigeria into a fertile ground for financial predators.
