Return of voodoo banking

It's operation headquarters is concealed in the maze of high-rise buildings in the heart of the business district of central Lagos. From the facade it passes for one of those high-yield blue chip companies where careers are hewn.

But if you are dreaming to hit it big working in the company or looking for a micro credit company to translate a business proposal into reality, you may have come to the wrong place.
For inside here, it would seem, dreams crash, debts rise and life takes a hasty downward drift. But the man who calls the shots here insists that his organization is simply misunderstood. He says he is into a genuine, legal business. Welcome to Nomex Nigeria Limited, a micro finance outfit.

Although making its pitch at a time when government is re-emphasizing the return to small credit financing for the poor and small businesses, Nomex activities are a sad reminder of the nation's ugly past of voodoo and money-doubling banking – when misleading handbills and letters were deliberately circulated to give the impression that depositors could get double of their deposits or a handsome per cent, but swindled and plunged into huge debts – may well be making a return.
