A viral video has surfaced showing a Nigerian man praying at Mecca for CBEX, a digital trading platform, not to crash. The video, which has sparked reactions online, shows the man praying passionately for the platform’s survival.
CBEX had gained popularity among many Nigerians as a trading opportunity, but it suddenly disappeared, leaving many people in tears and financial loss. Despite the man’s desperate prayer in one of the holiest places in the world, the platform still crashed.

Many social media users have expressed mixed feelings, with some showing sympathy while others mocked the situation. Sadly, this is another painful reminder for Nigerians to be careful with online investment platforms that promise quick returns.
