A Nigerian website developer has gone viral after sharing how one simple question he posed to a promoter of the NRC investment platform spared him from losing his money when the scheme collapsed in early July 2026.
Increase Chisom, who goes by @chisomincrease on X, recounted how he was approached on a Sunday with an offer to invest ₦18,900 in NRC, with the promoter assuring him the money would be refunded immediately alongside weekly dividend payments.

Rather than take the bait, Chisom said he asked a straightforward question:
"Where's the money they're paying me coming from?"
No satisfactory answer followed. When the promoter doubled down, promising to personally refund him if the scheme collapsed, Chisom spoke politely, declining out of respect for the person.
Days later, NRC crashed. The platform's website went dark around 7–8 July 2026, with operators disappearing alongside investors' funds and users left unable to make any withdrawals.
