mckoolcharming:God bless, u just nailed it. Nigerian government, media and financial institution are all out to frustrate the good intention of mmm scheme. mmm is force that can not be stop. they have failed to provide basic needs for the masses but they are quick to propagate falsehood against the scheme. we the participants are not complaining, everyday life is a risk and we have decided to take the risk. Nigerian leaders are the biggest scam so they should go to hell. |

If you were near me, I would have given you a bear hug. You have said it all. Only two days ago, I provided help of N200,000 and by today I will receive help of N291,000 including my ref bonus. Abeg, which bank for Nigeria fit give me this kin interest even for ten years?N65 is removed from my atm usage (fidelity bank), each time I use another bank's atm instead of after three times and SEC is not addressing the issue. Abeggi, let them go and die. MMM rocks! Thank you Mavro! quote author=mckoolcharming post=48968958] MMM IS NOT a Ponzi Scheme, cos in a Ponzi scheme, old members don't put back their money. IN MMM, BOTH OLD AND NEW MEMBERS CONTINUOUSLY PUT IN MONEY BEFORE THEY CAN BE HELPED SUBSEQUENTLY. I was actually waiting to see this. Not surprised! SEC will not stop a bank from 1. Taking N65 from my account after ATM use 2. Illicit withdrawal from my accounts 3. killing depositors with high interest rate BUT will tell Nigerians their concerns when Nigerians are happy with a system. Am happy, this shows that MMM is truly working. I want to make it clear here that in my view our conventional banking system is also a Ponzi scheme... Oh yes. Why Not? They take from our large pool of deposits to grant loans and in the end give us peanuts as interest but when we are the ones paying interest we pay through our nose. If banks are not operating a ponzi scheme, what happens when all depositors assemble to withdraw our cash.[/quote] 2 Likes |

[quote author=priceaction post=48973534]My question still remain like this: what happened is the last person that got helped with 30% increment did not come back or increase his/her re investment or refuse to help the next person or refuse to bring in new person? Please you mmm agents must answer this ooo. Where will the new 30% come from for the new guys looking for help? What will happen after 30days that the person requesting for help couldn't get it after helping someone, and the last person helped refuse to pay? Answer us ooo with meaningful reply not new members will join and bring money blala blala since you claimed there is no central account to bail you out or get deposited or withdrawal from. I need answer now now.... All I have been seen are referral links upaandan. So I need clarifications. Even if it works in some other countries, we know how Nigerians are active in scamming. So waiting for answer Even ajo, or esusu, people dey run away with people money. One of our secretaries told me about the mmm. She put 20k and she has received 26k or so within 40days. Now they are compelling her to put 90k to get may be 120k, so she want make I help raise the money so we can share the profits. I laugh at her.

mckoolcharming: SEC should just close their mouth and face their responsibility which they have failed woefully at. Which scam is bigger than the Nigerian Capital Market where SEC is supposed to be supervising? They look the other way when as public companies defraud innocent Nigerians of their hard earned savings in the guise of selling shares. SEC has never warned neither the companies nor the investing public. MMM is real!!!! However, investors should be cautious when providing help. The CAUTION is also on the MMM website 2 Likes |

PaulIdu: Do not say what you have no clue how it works. MMM do not have access to our money; we merely help one another. Mr Tunde pays Alhaji Ali and informs that Alhaji Ali has been paid on the website. The cycle keeps going on and on without any of the participants depositing into a central account. My only fear is that the Adkins of the system, if not properly checked, could manipulate the system in their favour and defraud unsuspecting donors. But as for the system, it was a well-thought out concept. The scheme is well perfected. Anyone who understands MMM should know that they pay participants absolutely nothing while they generate millions of traffic around the world. I understand that MMM has worked perfectly in many countries so I don't know why SEC is raising necessary alarm because it will demoralize new donors. But then, our government has failed us in all areas of our national life, so why should we take them seriously anyways? People have made millions,bought cars, built houses, etc from MMM. These guys should allow me buy my own car and build my own house from the system before raising unrealistic alarms, biko!!!! 1 Like |

No need for the quarrels and exchange of words over whether MMM is a scam or not. SEC, as an organ of government has done its part. It's actually very difficult to tell a child not to finish up a bottle of 35cl coca-cola he or she has tasted. It is sweet, the feeling is beautiful...until the purging starts. What SEC has done is what an experienced mum will do for her 4-year old whose hell-bent on finishing the content of the big Coke bottle at one sitting. Many MMM proponents argue that MMM model is just like our bank model, but forget that, unlike banks where deposits are insured by NDIC, you're 'OYO' in your dealings with MMM. I'm not into the MMM-ish. I made lots of money from similar programs in the past, but I've also lost the confidence of many who I introduced to these programs with good intentions when the programs crashed. From Club Freedom, to Diamond Cash Club to recently Vemma, I've seen lots of them. So, I'm wiser. As a former editor at SuccesDigest newspaper, I've seen many of these programs come and go with tales of woes trailing them, even those that had products to sell, how much more MMM that has no product to sell. Have you ever asked yourself what the operators of MMM stand to benefit from all these? Ask yourself how the operators make their own gain to keep operations going? If the search for the answer to these questions does not shock you back to reality, nothing will. Google is your friend. Do your due diligence on MMM. Check their antecedents in other countries before landing in Nigeria at a time when Nigerians are most vulnerable to programs like this. In a nutshell, whatever you do with MMM is your business. People were also warned about wonder banks in the past, but they wouldn't listen until it was too late. My only advice for the die-hard MMM participants is 'trade with money you can afford to lose.' There is no shortcut to success. You have been warned! 4 Likes 1 Share |
