This is why you need to stay away from loan sharks. Talk to anyone who’s been trapped in that cycle, and you’ll hear the same thing: it rarely ends well. What starts as a quick solution can quickly become a financial nightmare. I’ve seen people borrow just ₦50,000 for 14 days. 2 years later, they’ve paid back over ₦2 million, and they’re still being told they owe another ₦2 million. That’s the reality of predatory lending. It’s designed to keep you paying, not to help you recover. If you’re struggling financially, please think twice before taking that route. A short-term fix can become a long-term burden that’s incredibly difficult to escape.
