CBEX Crash Sparks Outrage, Tears and Unexpected Kindness: Swedish Fan Gifts Nigerian Investor a Plot of Land
The dramatic crash of the CBEX investment platform has triggered a wave of public outrage and heartbreak across Nigeria and beyond, with scores of users lamenting the loss of millions in life savings, business capital, and retirement funds.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), along with the Internet Fraud Unit, has reportedly launched a probe into the circumstances surrounding the platform’s sudden collapse. The investigation comes amid mounting pressure from angry investors demanding justice and restitution.
As thousands take to social media to share their personal experiences and financial devastation, one story has stood out—not for its tragedy, but for the unexpected act of generosity that followed.
In a recent Facebook post, Nigerian digital creator Ivan Eagle shared that a Swedish follower, deeply moved by his emotional account of the CBEX fallout—originally reported by Legit.ng—gifted him a full plot of land in Lagos.
“A follower in Sweden just gifted me a FULL plot of land in Lagos after reading my CBEX story on Legit.ng,” Ivan wrote.
He revealed that the property is a 600-square-meter plot in Ibeju Lekki, one of Lagos State’s fastest-growing residential hubs, where land prices under reputable developers like PWAN reportedly start at ₦30 million.
“For those of you who live in Lagos, you all know how Lagos is gradually evolving into Ibeju Lekki, and how residential regions covered by reputable real estate firms in the area have been SOLD OUT,” Ivan added.
A Silver Lining Amid a Financial Storm
The CBEX collapse has left a bitter taste in the mouths of thousands of investors, many of whom believed they were participating in a credible digital asset investment scheme. Online forums and Telegram groups have since been flooded with screenshots of losses, emotional breakdowns, and desperate calls for recovery.
However, Ivan Eagle’s story has become a rare glimmer of hope, showcasing the unexpected humanity that sometimes arises in the aftermath of financial tragedy.
As investigations deepen, questions remain over CBEX’s regulatory compliance, investor protections, and whether its operators will face legal consequences. For now, the EFCC remains silent on the details but has urged victims to submit official complaints through its designated reporting channels.
