I dont do MMM and will never do it.

But let us be careful about what we post.

No NEWS like this has even been on the BBC website either as at the last time I checked.


Secondly, read the report below calling this news borne by this topic a HOAX.



Hoax-alert: Image of BBC news story on Nigeria’s MMM finance network photoshopped

download“MMM Nigeria Reduces Poverty in Nigeria by 20%,” reads a caption on an image of BBC newsreader Nicholas Owen recently shared online and on social media.

The caption goes on to say that the “UK government advises Buhari lead [sic] government to use MMM to create jobs”.

MMM, which calls itself “a community of ordinary people, selflessly helping each other, a kind of the Global Fund of mutual aid” has been controversial in Nigeria. Its proponents say the community provides real financial bailout but sceptics say it is a Ponzi scheme.

The image, however, is a hoax.

Using Google reverse image search, Africa Check found that the original caption read “British hostage released: British national released after operation in Yemen”. We have asked the BBC to confirm this and will update this report should they respond. – 02/12/2016
