You really saved her. Except na you be the pomzi itself or your main Gs na ponzi creators or you're fortunate enough to do first week or month... you'll always lose out in the long run

Top 2 reasons why Ponzi will always be successful in Nigeria are:

1. Nigerians naturally believe they are smart.

2. Nigerians always believe they will be lucky (They believe they will always be among the few)

KingTom:
On the contrary, it was an unintelligent and ill calculated scheme by mother and daughter, they didn't let my uncle know and wanted to shock him with their investment returns. Needless to say, the man was really shocked

Ohh....Dem wan turn investor Sabinus overnight. I don't know why some women are like that sha.

During the MMM era, a female relative's saving grace was that she asked what I think about the whole MMM frenzy. I told her that like all previous ponzi schemes, it will crash and people's money will be trapped.

The following week MMM crashed ! She later told me that I saved her from serious debt which would've included her hubby's money she held in trust on his behalf.

KingTom:
My cousin carried her mother's pension abi gratuity of 4.5m go dash MBA. This thing I'm telling you caused that woman multiple strokes and almost sent the father to his early grave

Ah!

Which kind greediness go make person invest money wey no be him own into ponzi scheme? Abi she feels her mother's money is her own money ?

That first comment is so funny;
From Emiliokan to Enikan lomo

That commen off me

It actually described the guy's condition sitting in the front of the cement shop

[color=royalblue]Those ponzi threads can be funny.
[/color]

I remember the MMM is back own; na that one funny pass

"Investors" were happy MMM came back and were even insulting anybody that ever criticised the pnzi scheme, only for them not to be able to withdraw their "investments" despite the comeback. That shiii was funny as hell

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He did naa

Even when the MBA closed shop, some monikers were still defending the whole scheme.

That thread dey always make me laugh [/color]

That is a proof that people who come online seeking for advise don't actually want any advise they will act on. Imagine how the first few respondents cleared him that the whole thing was ponzi but he chose not to listen. People like that actually deserve to lose money to scammers.

[color=royalblue]This thread never gets old.

Whenever i need some comic relief, i go back and read again[/color]

Wait, don't tell me the op invested the N2m he posted about and it was swallowed by the ponzi scheme?

I just read the first page and don't have strenght to read through the rest.

The way some Nigerians hype this jay jay okocha is very annoying .

Okocha na naija football legend/superstar just like David Beckham for England. He may not be the greatest footballer that ever donned the white and green jersey, but superstars will always get the hype just like Beckham does.

The guy go be elder for church. Na like this dem dey settle fight between choirmaster and head usher when dem dey chyke the same sister for church.

Aswear. See the way he fold hands like elder dey dish out word of wisdom.

Kudos to the sports minister 👍

DSS quizzes KADUNA Islamic Cleric for criticising hardship under Tinubu.
Order for arrest came from Abuja.

This is the most interesting part of the post

Tinubu and Buhari are like Pharaoh and Haman; there is no difference between them. If not for Tinubu’s lack of respect and dignity for Nigerians, how can you announce the removal of subsidy in your inaugural speech?

After announcing the removal on the inauguration stage, the petrol price jumped from around N200 to over N600 before the president left the venue

Ideally, he should have consulted his economic team before making such a hasty decision; even the military, which rules by decree, don’t make that kind of pronouncement

Yet a certain monerozi commended Tinubu for the same act; heck he believes he's the best president ever for being Mr "talk and do"

DissTroy:
Don't blame Buhari. Don't blame Tinubu. Pray for the President, but same you stated the below:

Person wey dey deluded. Maybe him na APC ward chairman for for one LGA for Northern Kaduna sef wey person just dey waste time dey debate am, I no know.

I talk this thing on May 29th 2023 while people were on this same thread justifying the removal o

BlueRayDick:
The funny thing is most people won’t understand the effect until coming days when transport costs will go high up, cost of powering households go up, productions costs go up and general costs of running businesses go up in the absence of stable electricity .

I’m interested in what labour leaders will do about the matter sha .

A001 also called it

A001:
Don't get your hopes up about the incoming BAT government, bro. If it's actually true BAT has removed the petrol subsidy without even giving Nigerians some time to prepare for the tough times ahead, then people will wish Buhari was still the president as woeful as the outgoing administration is.

I hope it's not true BAT will remove the subsidy in this manner even after NUPENG warned him not to take that step hurriedly.

Make una see person wey una dey argue with

monerozi5590:
Tinubu just confirmed subsidy has been removed.

Tinubu tried in his speech. Na man you be.

I think Tinubu is the first president since 1999 that has reaffirmed his promises after election.

God bless Tinubu.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Okocha just put up a post on IG trying to encourage his nephew but look at what people are still writing in the comment section for 4ck sake 🤦‍♂️

afrodoc2:
If something happens now, the same people will still come out to be campaigning about mental health.

You see am na , Dem go turn am to hash tag campaign kicking against the same bullying they enabled

Some of u guys are sick. The board appointed a woman who is actually already an ED to become the GMD and u start spouting nonsense about Yorubanization or some dumb conspiracy theory.

I bet most of u saying all that have never worked in corporate environment before sef 🤦‍♂️

[color=royalblue]We are worst indeed!

By next week, everybody would have moved on.

The same thing happened when Ghana stopped us from qualifying for WC. We demolished MKO Abuja with our hands. The next week, we moved on.

If you like single Nigeria out. It doesn't change the fact that football fans in over 100 countries would troll and bully any player that drops a stinker in a final.
[/color]

While u are right that all countries have people who troll and bully players , I think we Nigerians do too much .Even so called celebrities who should know better join in the bullying and it makes no sense honestly .

YhemoLee posted this video about Iwobi on his IG's page of over 1M followers & a few hours later, Iwobi deleted all his videos.

We think these players are robots & don't see all these?

We can do better. pic.twitter.com/d6lNwtNq3M

— POOJA!!! (@PoojaMedia) February 12, 2024

Imagine a celebrity/influencer like Yhemolee who has over a million followers also joined in the bullying by posting that video complaining about Iwobi's "fine boy videos " on his page. Some blogs with sizeable number of followers did likewise . These posts of theirs only exposed Iwobi to more bulkying and it's unfair; some of them posted the video with emojis influencing more Nigerians to bully the guy.

I think among our selves we Nigerians need to tell ourselves the truth that some of these toxicity are unnecessary .

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaooo.. The painful part about the future oil pledge is that oil production has dropped.
And there is no quick fix for raising production and then merge that with the clueless leadership of the Petroleum minister (tinubu) we will have to wait even longer.

And wtf is this heat?!!!

I would have no problem if Buhari was misgoverning us , the people spoke against and he refused to listen. Instead they just kept praise singing and calling his critics unprintable names .

The same Tinubu whose minions are trying to distance from Buhari's misgovernance claimed Buhari was on the right path leading the country forward while campaigning for him in 2019 o.

[color=royalblue]This country is just waiting for who will light the matchstick. Fuel don dey the body already.

The hardship is becoming something else

You will find long queues at petrol stations that sell 568 to 601 (Total, NNPC, Mobil)

The ones selling 635-640 are empty.

I bought fuel along egbeda road and the attendants just sit down dey sleep. No customer.

I doubt if we can bounce back from this disaster we are in.[/color]

It's only a matter of time; especially if the politicians keep living their luxurious lifestyles while the masses look on in amazement at their non challant attitude .

Just yesterday I was reading that memo of Tinubu approving 1billion ( 500m in the first tranche ) for inauguration of national minimum wage committee. Bayo Onanuga was more concerned about investigating those who leaked the memo than addressing whether it makes any economic sense to approve such amount for a routine government duty .

The comments I saw in the IG posts shows people are pissed that the people in government don't even send the masses. It's only a matter of time before the people move in mass against the government violently . How can people be seriously hungry and u are approving 1billion for a kangaroo committee ?

It's only in Nigeria they will say we are broke and u will see government officials living ostentatious lifestyle . That was why I was 100% against the fuel subsidy removal from the onset; it's only masses that should make sacrifices while the political class continue business as usual.

[color=royalblue]My Uncle travelled from Benin to Lagos today.

He got to GIGM Uselu around 5am and boarded a bus to Lagos (Festac).

He said they were only 2 that were passengers. The management had to beg them to join the bus going to Iyana Ipaja, because they cannot carry only 2 people to Festac..A whole GIGM

Even when they agreed, that one wasn't filled too. They were about 8 in the bus.

The way the economy is going, very soon everyone including the rich will just come outside and protest.

The moment people cannot afford their daily bread, then EndSARS will be a child's play[/color]

What makes me mad is that Buhari was 4cking this country for 8 straight years yet APC and their apologists were goading him on.

Today they are telling us Buhari borrowed the country broke to the extent that our future oil revenue has already been pledged to pay debt. Debt over infrastructures that can't pay itself over even in 15 years time .

The same pattern continued with with Tinubu 4cking things up in his early days and they claim it's him being bold and taking the tough decisions others before him are scared of taking .

Today now almost everybody is groaning under the weight of the hardship. I'm afraid the worse is yet to come this one IMF is already advising Tinubu to still go ahead to remove subsidy from electricity and price of PMS totally .

He wants social media gagged so that such criminal records he has will not be posted on the free internet

according to dayo or somebody, there are thousands of occasions when those your intuition don't come to pass, what den do you call that?

There might be when I might see my mom's call and my heart will skip if something bad has happened.. and all those occasions, I'm always wrong, there also might be when when I feel my junior brother driving a carto his destination might lead to an accident or bad thing.. countless of times I was and is wrong.. so if coincidentally, one of such comes to pass, does it fall in your above explanation?

There's a difference between being paranoid and having instinct about something .All u described above are symptoms of u suffering from paranoia.

andrewbaba44:
Bullying him everywhere and he had to delete all his pictures and they think it’s fair ?

Nigerians are terrible people

Simply put: Nigerians are bad losers, they do not like to lose. Once they lose,they blame every living being in sight.

I feared something like this will happen the moment everyone was forming patriotism following immediately after the quarter final. Seeing how people reacted after that South Africa match, u would've known that this kind bullying can happen.

I'm sure Aina would've suffered serious bullying if the penalty he lost against south Africa was what caused us to get knocked out sef.

Three human phenomena even the most ardent atheist has explanation for:

- Instincts
- Intuition
- Clairvoyance

There's no absolute explanation for these phenomena. Sometimes you just have that gut feeling there's no logical explanation for, and if you ignore it, you'd rue your mistake for life if you are lucky to survive it.

Yeah it happens

Not really.
Some PA's have limits and their bosses also respect that limit as far as it doesn't mess with the overall value they create.
Flying in an helicopter is already a scary experience and adding bad weather to that is enough to say you would prefer road.
They when you add the history of the helicopter with crashes, that's like extra worse.

It happens.
I don't even know why this is being dissected like this

The bold! Some bosses have very cool relationship with their subordinates that u will think they are family friends. The PA may enjoy that kind of relationship with the oga; not all oga's are king kong.

Like u said the PA may not enjoy traveling in Helicoper and oga is aware , so he allowed him to use the road provided he won't be needing him for the night.

iamoyindamola:
I saw the real picture yesterday, the PA be like emi ko ni eni ema pa
Some people get mind sha

Na why I tell u say person no need to suspect the PA.

Amigoss:
Wow😲,he is fond of the risk....

So u see, the PA having worked with him for a while may have known him to always ride his luck. And that one no get heart for all those kind blood pressure inducing journey.
