The Problem With MMM Was Not The Media And Mavrodi, But 'human's Nature'. by drsugar: 2:39pm On Dec 20, 2016
The problem with MMM is not the media and government, not Mavrodi himself or the participants of MMM but HUMAN NATURE.

EVERYBODY KNOWS MAVRODI is a CONVICTED RUSSIAN CRIMINAL....

...But can you believe MMM has just started running again in Kenya and Ghana right now and Mavrodi is still Smiling to the bank? You keep wondering why MMM keeps attracting people to it despite its flaws.

On the Wikipedia page captured below, the first line describes Mavrodi as a convicted Russian criminal. I begin to wonder to myself how anyone can trust this type of convicted person with a financial investment.

He is someone to be described as an intelligent criminal who understands human nature, a world class psychological hustler.

He understands that no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, greed and self interest would always dictate first for a natural human mind.
Anyway, that was how our ancestors survived in the jungle.

Even those who didn't participate in the MMM scheme can't deny that they were envious of those getting rewards from it at one point or the other while it was running.
This is human nature and believe me, if MMM comes back to Nigeria again in 5 years time, thousands of people would still participate.

HUMAN NATURE = GREED + SELF INTEREST. The same attributes we abuse our leaders of having is what we have shown by participating in MMM.

P.S. : Not Anti - MMM. This is just a discussion to reflect on our values as a society based on recent happenings and how we can be better off it.

This is so true. But that quote about a sucker being born every minute is errornously attributed to Barnum. He didn't coin it.
