Lady tackles people who invested in CBEX
The lady, @ameboplug on TikTok, specifically mentioned CBEX, a platform that allegedly crashed, leaving many investors with great financial losses.
She attributed these losses to people’s greed and desire for quick gains, rather than adopting a more cautious and informed approach to investing.
Drawing parallels between CBEX and the notorious MMM ponzi scheme, which collapsed years ago, she emphasised that the same mistakes continue to be repeated, with people losing their life savings to unscrupulous operators.

In her words:
“When are Nigerians going to ever learn from all these ponzi schemes? There’s another one going on now and they call it CBEX. It is just the elder brother of MMM. As at the time MMM came to Nigeria and crashed, if you no learn your lesson, you will keep falling victim to others because you are greedy.
“You don’t want to invest your money properly. You want to invest in now now get rich quick syndrome. It doesn’t work like that. I’ve seen this video of angry clients. I don’t even know that they have a head office in Ibadan. They went to loot that place but will that solve the problem of millions of naira that crashed?
“A lot of people have lost their lifetime savings because they invested millions into CBEX and they put their entire hope in it. If you no learn from MMM, you will keep falling victim to these ponzi schemes.”
