Primesky: I don't know how atheists explain the phenomenon of Lord Jesus to themselves. Here is a Person that was foretold for thousands of years, and when He came he made it clear that He was the one foretold and that his words would be around for thousands of years. Here we are, thousands of years later and His words are still around - EXACTLY AS HE SAID!! 2 Likes |

Delivar: I'm sure u know you've lost the argunent. You love that person because that is the person you have CHOSEN to love. It has nothing to do with attributes. Otherwise you'd transfer your love when someone with same attributes but better comes along. You won't love the person with better attributes though they are better in every way because that is not the person you chose. You can think of it in terms of fans of constantly uder-performing teams who never win anything. They still stay fans and still love the team. They won't change and become fans of the team that always wins. The connection is beyond the material. You can also think in terms of someone replacing your daughter with an exact clone of your daughter. You won't love her because that's not her. |

Delivar: At a visceral level, love is a CHOICE. It may not always be a conscious choice, but it is a choice. Your last statement shows me the source of the cofusion: I DON'T want a girl to love me for what I am, I want a girl to love me for me. There are so many ways to illustrate this. You may choose, say, a cow that's no different from other cows, give it a name and care about that cow, and always look out for it. You love it for no other reason than that it is THAT cow. Same way, you can love me because I am ME. If someone else is brought with the same exact attributes as me, you won't love them because they are not ME. Now you understand, I am sure. You have lost the argument. Know when to quit. Nice try though. |

Delivar: Let me first commend the matured and level-headed way you present your points, without name-calling or ad hominem attacks (a lesson for JamaicanLove). The flaw in your argument is that you forget love is a choice. And that's a common falacy. You can choose to love someone/something for absolutely no other reason than that you choose to love them. l may choose to love an average flower, and water it everyday, and take care of it. That's different from loving it because it is exceptionally pretty or has the longest stem, etc. In the first instance u love the flower for itself. In the second instance u love the flower because it is pretty, etc. In the first instance a connection is made at a very deep level that has nothing to do with ownership or anything material. |

Investment / Re: Sergei Mavrodi, MMM Founder Dies At 62 by ameri9ja: 1:55pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
[quote author=folakemigeh post=66170195] Such a nice man, He ensured he kept Most Nigerians Bank Account ACTIVE With the Advent of MMM, most people got to know which banks had the fastest Transfer and which bank was more reliable. I can never forget my experience with GTB to ACCESS bank Transfer----- Took almost two days for it to get to the Receiver,(GH) By then he had reported my upload as Fake, i cried that day like a baby who they took the moma's breasts away from [q] Sergey Mavrodi's death: [b]Was MMM genuine or a scam? Sergei Mavrodi created the company "MMM" in 1992. It quickly gained popularity and became the largest financial pyramid in the history of Russia. The income of the members who joined it was paid out of the contributions of new arrivals, and when the flow of customers ceased to grow, non-payments began. According to various estimates, the number of victims of the MMM has reached 10-15 million people. In 1994, Mavrodi became a member of the Russian parliament. Then he announced that he was giving up his privileges: salaries and cars. Mavrodi stressed that he became a deputy only for the sake of immunity. Two years later, before the presidential elections in 1996, he was stripped of his mandate. In 2007, Mavrodi was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for defrauding 10,000 investors out of 110 million rubles ($4.3 million). All this time he left during the preliminary detention while the investigation was conducted. Mavrodi claimed he is not the beneficiary of the donations and he is not used to flamboyant lifestyle. His true charges of which he was later convicted of is tax fraud though he claimed that MMM scheme is not a business, but a mutual donation program of which there is no law against such. In 2016, he announced the creation of his own crypto currency - Mavro. In the first month, 33,000 people took part in the project. MMM stands for the first letters of the founders’ surnames - Sergei Mavrodi, Olga Melnikova and Vyacheslav Mavrodi. However, some people believe that it stands for Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox. The company got a lot of money from people - it was making about 50 million USD each day. MMM started as a company that imported office equipment. However, there were some problems. In January 1992 the company was accused of tax evasion. This led to problems with the financial support of company's operation. It struggled. But how did MMM achieve that? The company promised annual returns for up to 1000% to private investors. It sounded quite attractive, and a lot of people were eager to invest. With strong advertising and naive people (no one heard about scams during that time), MMM became one of the most successful companies in Russia. READ ALSO: Sergey Mavrodi's biography: What you didn't know about MMM founder However, the success didn’t last for long. Eventually, the company was shut down in 1994 and it declared bankruptcy in 1997. Unfortunately, everything didn't end there. After 14 years, the company reopened as “MMM Global.” MMM in Nigeria MMM started in Nigeria in November 2015, when it launched a new website for Nigerian audience. In Nigeria, the company decided to lower the standards and promised profit was 30% per month. The primary target of MMM was unemployed people. The number of people that signed up by the late 2016 was shocking - 2.4 million! They hoped that MMM would give them easy money and they had no doubts. Unfortunately, after a year of work in Nigeria, MMM announced the freezing of all members accounts. According to the company, the reason was “systems overload and the negative attention brought on by the Government and mass media.” After the freeze of members’ accounts, people started to panic. Sadly, the worst thing that happened was that the panic led them to even attempt to end their lives. Things got so serious that even the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency asked the citizens to look out for each other and call the emergency number if someone was trying to kill himself. Surprisingly, on January 2017 MMM Nigeria reopened. Also, on February 11th the company announced the lifting of the withdrawal limits on 2017 mavro. Investors were angry because of the delayed, and unfulfilled payments and some people left the scheme. READ ALSO: MMM founder's death: 4 things Sergey Mavrodi told Buhari about his Ponzi scheme The investors who stayed loyal to the company were given assurance of getting back their money. But the company stated that in order to get the pre-2017 money, investors should add new money. And the more they add, the higher their chances to get the previous money back. Though MMM came back, it could not regain the trust of the bulk of the investors failed to make huge impact it had when it was first introduced. About 110 countries suffered from MMM, including various African countries like Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe. People believed in the company and wanted to get a lot of money almost out of nowhere. PAY ATTENTION: Install our latest app for Android, read best news on Nigeria’s #1 news app Meanwhile, when MMM froze members’ accounts, Nigerian media warned the citizens against investing in the Ponzi scheme reporting that the scheme had collapsed, but many turned deaf ears. Mavrodi himself wrote an open letter to Nigerian journalists whom he claimed were causing unnecessary tension in the country. According to him, MMM will be back by January as earlier stated, hence the rumour about the scheme collapse should stop. As the biggest online news platform in Nigeria, NAIJ.com openly replied Mavrodi's letter lecturing him about the existence of freedom of speech and and the importance of press as one of the fundamental values of Nigeria Read more: https://www.naija.ng/1024871-sergey-mavrodis-death-was-mmm-genuine-a-scam.html#1024871 |
