Why pay attention to something that doesn't affect you as a business, I mean it's just fraud. You see, we have a theory that most Nigerian Businesses don't count fraud as a threat. A theory we discussed in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dnGt5zB6 We could be wrong, but considering the fact that most Nigerian businesses would rather bear the costs of fraud damages than defend against one, we think we have a real issue. But that's our perspective, we'd love to hear your takes on our theory. Let's hear your opinions in the comments
