Nigerians Rage, Curse MMM by JohnnieZM(m): 7:41pm On Jan 21, 2017 |
Nigerian participants in the ponzi scheme
MMM are losing patience with it, a week after
the resumption of service and promise to
begin payment.
Although there was evidence yesterday that
some participants had been paid, thousands
of others whose applications were yet to be
attended have been venting their anger on the
brains behind the scheme for the frustration
in accessing their funds.
They rage, curse and threaten unrestrained on
the MMM Help platform after unsuccessful
attempts to get response to their many
inquiries on the status of their investment.
Typical of the threat message is this seen
yesterday on the MMM website: “Hello
Mavrodi. You can’t eat my money and go like
that.See let me tell you Mavrodi: my father is
a native doctor.I give you two weeks to pay
my money or my father will kill you in that
Russia.Support make sure you Mavrodi see
this message.I’m ready to kill anybody
including my guider and referral. Make una no
play with me ooo…If you like joke with me.”
One Hayat Mohammed said: “I really need
help. I provided help of 50000 now I made a
request to get help, the request was
processed but I’ve not being matched with
another participant who will pay me. They
won’t even pick my calls. So my money is
lost, isn’t it? Last time I checked, this was
supposed to be a platform where we would
be able to tender our problems for solutions. I
guess they don’t care anymore since
participants have grown in population.”
Harrison Ita Etim posted: “I am still in the
same shit too till today!”
Owhotemu Maryjane said: “What is really
going on with MMM? If it’s gone you should
let us the participants know. And why is that
when someone wants to GH it will show or
create error? You guys had a month to sort
this out during the so-called break! So what
then is this so called withdrawal limit that you
are now talking about?
From Santos Maemi came this: “To all
Nigerians please wake up. This is totally a
scam. Don’t be blind!!!” whileChristopher
Chinedu said: “If I knew that this
would happen, I shouldn’t have become a
participant. Let’s admit we have lost our
money. That is business I guess, lose or gain.
Somebody has been matched with different
people, 4 to be precise and they have not
paid him now, many days and month after.
Hmmm so who is going to pay who? I think I
have cried enough, it’s time for me to clean
my eyes now and forget my N700,000. This is
not my end.”
A cross section of participants interviewed in
Ado Ekiti fear that their money is gone.
Tope Aladeniyi who said he was to be paid a
day before the scheme was shut down in
December said he learnt some people
received little payments but he was yet to be
matched for payment.
“At the moment, I have not been matched,
and last year we were told that once the
scheme resumed on January 14, they would
be the ones to release those who were ready
to be matched even if you were due for
payment,” Aladeniyi said.
Another participant, Sola Abidakun, who
provided help in November and asked for help
on January 13, said he was matched with four
persons but only two paid.
“I was only paid N4000 and N10,000, leaving
two failed transactions waiting to be
rematched,” he said.
A top guider of the scheme, Bode Wilson,
while explaining the reason for delayed
payment said that the number of people
requesting for payment was higher than the
number providing help.
“They have started matching people, but
there will be a delay in payment especially for
those that pledged huge amount of money.
There should be enough money in the system
before everybody can get paid. However, I’m
sure we will all get paid”, Wilson said.
A lawyer, Femi Oyeniyi, warned that
participants in the scheme may not be able to
recover any money lost in the scheme
because of the anonymity the business is
shrouded with.
Oyeniyi said: “I doubt who do you sue, you
don’t see the person you are doing business
with, you can only sue the person you see
and it is only the person you see physically
that you can do business with.”
A broadcaster, Carol Oladeinde said: “I have a
relation who did the MMM thing and was
benefitting from it before they went off. I do
not think that we should condemn the
financial scheme (MMM) because a lot of
people have benefited from it. I am into
another networking stuff. I am a member of
another one and it is working.
“Yes, I will continue with mine because I
know what I am benefiting from it. I can’t go
anywhere to borrow money so if I am
involved in a financial scheme where I see
someone give me an indirect loan and even
increase my opportunity to get more, why
won’t I continue?
“Those condemning this networking thing are
people who are comfortable. They have now
turned to experts! Unfortunately, they who
are experts are not participants so they don’t
know of what benefit it has been to us. If we
had other easy schemes, we would have
joined. And for your information, in all these,
there is no particular place where money is
kept. It is like a cooperative one person gives
money to another, so payment of course,
could be gradual if some people have not
complied with the deadline.
Martins Okafor, a participant investors in
Awka, still believes in the scheme.
He told Saturday Nation that those who have
not received any payment were those who
have not been matched for payments,
especially those invested shortly before the
break.
Another investor, Miss Blessing Nwankwo was
also optimistic that her investment would not
be lost
She said she was willing to forfeit N10,000
of the N20,000 she invested, adding that she
had no regrets whatsoever.
Mrs Chiamaka Udu a participant in Port
Harcourt said: “ We thank God that we are
able to be alive to see today.
“The last time when you came to my house to
talk to me, I told you I was going to die but I
think there is hope. What is happening now is
that those of us with big funds are not being
paid now. They told us that we should wait;
that after providing help for those with small
amount they will consider us.”
Mr Geoffrey Nnamdi said: “My brother, I ‘m
yet to understand these people. Though they
are paying some, when I clicked help they
rejected my request saying I should wait but I
need this money.
“I don’t want the extra they would add on the
money.What I need now is my deposit. I don’t
think I will provide help to anybody again as
soon as my money is paid to me. We are
hoping that our money should be given to us.
Another customer, Mr Davies Onyema
reacted this way, “Please, I don’t want to say
anything, I almost committed suicide last
time. I was very happy when I heard the news
of their coming back. I have entered forty
days of praying and fasting over my condition
with MMM. How can they return and tell me
that they are not going to provide help to me,
so when are they going to provide help?”
Victoria John of Nyanya near Abuja said: “I
was scared when they froze the account but
I’m glad they are back.
“ I’ve not received my money, they said that
they will be paying in batches so I’m waiting
for my turn. I just want to collect my money
and stop. I pray they pay me.”
Another Abuja resident Nkiru
Silvester confirmed that some of her friends
and colleagues have been paid but said: “The
truth is that even if I don’t get paid, I won’t
be so upset or lose sleep over it because I
had invested about five times before the last
time.
I usually don’t put in so much and I made my
money. They asked us to be patient; that
they will pay in batches which they have
begun doing.
“My friend was paid as soon as payment
started and my colleague was also paid
recently.
“So I’m praying that I get paid.There are so
many people waiting to be paid, which is why
it is taking so long. MMM is not the only
scheme that I am involved in.” Source: http://thenationonlineng.net/nigerians-rage-curse-mmm/
