    1. I got a loan I did applied for and I never noticed ….all I saw was call tagged scam so I didn’t pick but when it became much I picked and he said I borrowed #7k to pay 16k now because of overdue. I tried to argue it out …the next hour one Mr Idion Stanley sent message to most of my contact with my wedding pics that my family is a family of thieves that we are wanted. Till today his both Stanley and Barr. Justine as revealed by true caller don’t pick my calls after I was forced to pay back #16,160.
      I have reported it to the police and I will take all legal actions against them
      Oknaira is scam!

  1. I borrowed some money from okaynaira few days ago.Now I wanted to defray my debt but could not access the app to activate payment because the app always pop up a message indicating that my location GPS or GRS has failed. I have done everything possible to open up the app and pay but all my efforts to no avail.
    To this effect,I want your organization to send to me the amount i owed and account number to enable me to pay my debt via bank transfer.My details are:NAME:Lovett Agusa Onanore
    68 Amai Road, Obiaruko, Delta State.

  2. This looks like a scam. You received a loan from OkNaira for a seven day repayment plan only for the same people to start calling you 2 days after that if you don’t return the money you’ll be scandalized.

    Please someone should tell me am not in the den of scammers
