If I asked you to bring $50 for a guaranteed return of $500 in 30 days, would you?

I would truly hope that your answer will be a no! However, if your answer is by any chance yes, then the Sharp Sharp Money episode of the Money series is particularly for you!

Ponzi schemes are on the rise and many people have fallen for them under the guise of investment. In today’s Nigeria, many individuals misunderstand the true meaning of an investment. There’s still a prevailing mentality of seeking rapid returns as if money can magically multiply overnight. Whilst, there’s nothing wrong with wanting your money to grow with great returns, you should also ensure you are invested in a regulated and trusted body with a proven track record.

History itself stands as a stark reminder that schemes promising extraordinary returns in a short period are often unsustainable, MMM being the most popular to scar the Nigerian retail investing space.

So, what’s the key takeaway here? Never invest in something you don’t fully understand, and steer clear of investments that promise unrealistically high returns within a short timeframe.

In a world where financial decisions can significantly impact our future, it’s vital to stay informed and make wise choices. Understanding the nuances of investment and maintaining realistic expectations are crucial aspects of securing your financial well-being.

To understand how you can build wealth gradually without falling into the trap of Ponzi, we invite you to watch the latest episode of the Money series. [Click here]
