The Economic situation in the country is hard no doubt about that, and so it falls on people to find a way out to make ends meet. Part of this strategy has been the age long networking. In this kind of scheme, people are called in to make certain payment and then invite others as well to be part of it and then it goes on and on. Among some of the enticing parts are bonuses and premium gifts which look too mouthwatering will be used as a bait to entrap would be customers.
Nevertheless, it has worked in some of these fields as it has always provided jobs for our teeming youths and also helped people grow in some ways. There are some who have used drugs as part of their network marketing skills as well which has paid off for sick patients in the end. However, a certain company that came on board sometimes around May, 2016 which called itself Corporate Unique Field Marketers (CUFM) with its office located at Allen Avenue, opposite Alade Market, Lagos, came on board with a lot of promises even as it seems promising and enticing. This organization came with a system of paying One thousand naira (N1, 000) for the form and then paying Five Thousand Naira (N5, 000) monthly. It then went ahead to say if you get the first two people to join your network, a sum of Three thousand five Hundred Naira will be paid to you, after which if you get ten people to join the network, who in turn will pay N5,000 each, then you will be paid N4,000 and a club bonus of N12,500 one off payment. It goes further to say, if you have ten people in your Network, you will end up getting N60,000 per month and then a club bonus of N25,000, mouthwatering isn’t it? Then if you get 1,000 people in the network you get N600,000 and a club bonus of N150,000, haaaaa!!! Another way to “ginger the swagger”. It all proved too good as people who heard about this network strategy decided to key in and also to see how their poverty level could be alleviated. In actual fact, a lot of people hit the ground running and came up with the fund even in this harsh economic situation and still went ahead to call friends and family from other states to partake in it.
Then the dribble started! A friend who was enthusiastic about the whole melee who had grown up to 15 people in his network first faced the true reality. The said bonus and package that should be accrued to him in the first instance was not given as the excuse given was that there was a system upgrade. The said system upgrade took a whole month plus few days before the identification numbers of the participants were generated. Even after the said system upgrade, the friend concerned did not get a dime.
Enter the next dribbling stage. After having gathered close to 5,000 people all over the federation, the director or do I say the policy makers of CUFM came out with a plan to stifle people in order not to attain the promised club bonuses and that is NEW ENTRANTS SHOULD PAY THREE MONTHS AHEAD WHICH IS N15,000 AND ANY MEMBER NOT ACTIVE AFTER TWO MONTHS GETS DELETED FROM THE SYSTEM. Pray, what happens to those who have initially contributed to the scheme, knowing full well that it is not easy to part with N5,000 how much more N15,000. Is that not callousness on the part of the director and his co-travelers? And to think that these said director and his wife whose photograph adorn the last page of the form, say it’s a way of lifting people out poverty (Apologies to LAPO)

This is calling on the EFCC to please look into all this dubious acts of network marketers and the wheat should be separated from the chaff in order to give the good ones with good intentions bad names. There are still sincere ones I believe but I think it is time proper measures are taken in order for some gullible set of individuals not to milk people dry of their sweat and hard work.
Let the EFCC rise and do the needful in order to curb the activities of these corporate thieves.

Enough Spoken.[b][/b]
