A Nigerian tutor, Emeka Nobis, has sparked a heated debate on social media following a sharp critique of the growing trend of online mining platforms, including the popular crypto-mining game, Hamster Kombat.
Nobis took to Facebook to express his disapproval of the platforms, claiming that those involved were unwise for believing in what he described as low-effort, high-promise schemes.
In his viral post, Nobis mocked individuals who participate in such games, where users are rewarded for tapping their phones or completing simple tasks, often in exchange for cryptocurrency or financial rewards.
He expressed his frustration, urging people to focus on more sustainable endeavors instead of what he perceived as quick and unreliable means of making money.
“People never learn,” Nobis’ post read. “By tapping your phone, you want to become CEO and earn millions. Dumb skulls. Spend time to learn and do sustainable stuff, no. Dumb skulls.
Sadly, they’ll still never learn. Another is coming to keep you busy tapping your phones and never spending energy to learn useful things.”
His comments have drawn both support and backlash online, igniting conversations about the legitimacy and long-term potential of crypto-mining games and platforms like Hamster Kombat.
The platform, which was listed on September 26th, promised users small rewards, with some earning as little as N1 after five months of commitment.
While some users defend the platform, citing the appeal of passive income through minimal effort, others resonate with Nobis’ call for focusing on sustainable skill-building rather than chasing easy money.
The debate continues to grow, highlighting the broader scepticism around such online schemes.
