Nawa for u, what's frustrating u bro? Put Ur trust in God and keep working hard u will succeed, this I pray, Amen.

You don't just wish people death for their own "stupidity" at least they are not robbers, they participate in the schemes with their own money, so why wish them death? What if Ur family member secretly participates in one? They shd die too?


Yup

MMM has come to stay whether haters like it or not. MMM is currently paying 2017 mavros in full and 30% of the 2016 mavros if u GH 30days after ur PH got confirmed, not 30days after u indicate interest to PH.

This reminds me of the movie called matrix. That people will fight and even defend a system that will destroy them at the end. Humans have proven to be idiots who learn from experience.
then Nigerians must be a special breed of humans because they don't learn from experience or history..

You can read about George C. Parker as well. The genius con artist who was able to sell multiple people the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as other public property like Madison Square Garden and the freaking Statue of Liberty.

"...and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell to you" grin

I hate ponzi schemes and I hate cheats, the Nigeria stock market is also a ponzi scheme backed by law my reason is below :

Stock borkers will tell you how good a stock is and lure people to shore up it price since demand goes up now when the price reach a certain price the stock companies sell their holdings at this point supply will be more than demand thereby causing price crash to some extend some people are left with worthless papers called share certificate.

The above scenario played out in Nigeria betweeen 2006 and 2009, I personally lost about 15M, just imagine if I invested on a landed property by now atleast I will still have my land with its value but as it is the share are not worth more than 1M, I bought, afribank, bankphb, oceanic, ibplc, etc

If all people are like me now, stock brokers will go broke cos the stock market is another ponzi scheme backed by law, I would rather take the destiny of my money into my hands and invest it on landed property or a partnership business that I have a say in and can see when thing are getting bad

GNLD and Forever Living are not ponzi

You buy products...they sell products and also have a network chain.
Why do you think they have stood the test of time?
They are a business, though not everyone is into them (i'm guilty of that)
The thing is...I think those at the top keep getting richer cz it's a pyramid scheme

Compared to MMM...well, you know the story

You're right bro. Nigerian education system is the worst ponzi scheme ever! I've been thinking about this, you were told that you are the leaders of tomorrow when you were in primary school, you spent millions to pay your fees and about 20 years, learning from nursery to university & post graduate with the promise of a better tomorrow only to end up unemployed or underemployed with 25,000 as salary while your mate that served a few years as apprentice, is today a multi millionaire, tushed up and employs the same masters holders! At the same time, Buhari that was the leader in 1983, when many nairalanders were still a mess of sperms & eggs is still the leader today! WHAT PONZI SCHEME IS WORSE THAN THESE 2?

I giggle when Nigerians think we are the smartest when it comes to fraud. We dey learn where Italians, Russians, Brazilians and Romanians dey. The only difference between us and them is that we make too much noise.
Ordinary one Russian guy defrauded millions of Nigerians with one scheme.

Meanwhile, MMM participants when they realize they haven't received their money 2 months after MMM returned grin cheesy cheesy cheesy grin


dont mind nigerian scammers or this uneducated internet fraudster if one russian yaooyahoo boy enter nigeria the damage will be better imagined than felt
