Ponzi schemes, crypto scams, and predatory loan apps target young Nigerians specifically — and the same brain circuitry that makes financial risk-taking addictive is the one drugs exploit. ALTDAP’s free guide teaches real budgeting and scam-awareness skills, with the neuroscience that connects it all back to why awareness protects you either way.
Real Nigerian Scam Data
Ponzi and crypto-scam figures pulled from public SEC and EFCC statements — ₦174 billion lost to 440+ schemes, and counting.
The Neuroscience, Not a Metaphor
The DSM-5 classifies Gambling Disorder as the only behavioural addiction alongside substance addictions — same dopamine circuitry, same risk.
Skills You Can Use Today
Budgeting, scam-spotting, and debt-trap awareness — practical habits, not just theory, with practice questions after every chapter.
Scam and loss figures are sourced from public statements by Nigeria’s SEC and EFCC; the addiction-neuroscience content reflects the DSM-5’s classification of Gambling Disorder. This is educational content, not financial or legal advice — always verify any investment through SEC Nigeria’s official channels before committing money.
