When you ask Mavdroids where the 30% comes from, you hear 'U don't understand the system'.
Ok, Mavdroids, explain the system, you hear 'Go to the website'.

I work in finance, ANYBODY that invested in MMM has fraudulent tendencies, QED.
Taking money for doing nothing is an aberration far as value creation is concerned.

I haven't heard any Mavdroid testify that MMM money helped setup a business, no! Instead, you bought a car, or married or travelled or just spent it lavishly. And this is the real tragedy in making money you haven't earned. I'm not sorry for anyone who lost money or got divorced or got physically assaulted or sacked for MMM returns- It was well and truly deserved
Nigerians lost money now, they will still lose money next time cos we think we are sharp. Long live MMM jor, it's not easy to be a fool these days.

Oga OP, you obviously participated in the scheme, so stop trying too hard to appear disinterested. I see as you attack EVERYONE that has a negative view to MMM
This is entirely your business anyway. You forgot to include the 4th set of group of people affected by MMM- our dear participants, the GPA (greedy people's association) and the unscrupulous. This scheme has revealed the majority of our people to be blatant hypocrites and cheats. Yes! Only a cheat, a thief, takes money that doesn't belong to him and feigns ignorance of the source. You don't sell a product or offer a service but you accept 30% as returns on investment? And you see nothing morally wrong with the transaction to boot? Not everyone who speaks out is envious of your petty profit, some people do have a sense of wrong vs right in the end, even if we don't always choose what is right.
MMM exposed how gullible, lazy and generally imbalanced a large number of Nigerians are, even those posturing as adherents of one religion or another.
Keep praying for your beloved MMM to unfreeze come January. And before you and your ilk come baying for blood, just explain to us, in one sentence, how your money increases by 30% during the PH, GH, FH or WTH you folks call it.

Just ensure the savings account was opened with CBN authorized identification i.e- International passport, National ID, Permanent Voters card or National driving license.
If it wasn't opened with any of the above, account may require an update once such sum is paid in. Customer should also have documents relating to the transaction as evidence of source of funds, in case the bank needs to verify during due diligence. It is normal for it to be reported to regulatory bodies as a qualifying transaction but account won't be frozen or access hindered once the above are complete.

okenwa:
Deposit the money piece by piece. Or give different depositors to lodge the money into the account

Bad idea. Account will be flagged for suspicious transactions, and will be monitored for no plausible reason.

Another useless dweeb foisted on Kogi state by unfortunate circumstances. The so called youth aren't any better by the look of things! As broke as the state is, he still travelled out, with aides

claremont:
The next rank up from Major is Lt Col, it's not an accelerated promotion. It's normal to promote people based on their exploits in the battlefield, there is no official requirement to spend a specific number of years in a rank during combat.

What you should have found out was how long he spent as major, before insisting the promotion is not accelerated. Battlefield promotions are not bound by the usual requirements or length of service, so if he was promoted to major last year and this year became a Lt Col, I daresay that is accelerated.

You need to stop this

bonechamberlain:
, northerners playing politics with human life. Hmm. These people have no value for human life.

One of the major reasons why goodluck was voted out was this chibok girls conspiracy.
Now let my ask my educated and enlightened southerners if 200 girls where kidnapped under buhari in osun or Enugu, do u think the north would blink an eye, do u think they would vote for a southerner.

The south needs to start having political sense. The north play politics to the core whether human life is involved or not.

You need to start having Common sense too. Not everything is North VS South or PDP VS APC

First off, this is most unhygienic The Naira is a festering bed of disease and bacteria. Some of us who handle large volumes of it, know what we've come down with periodically.

Secondly, the innocent tot was named LANESRA Spell it backwards to know what he was actually named!! Poor lad will probably take 4th position forever.

Mayflowa:
I don't agree with you on this. This appointment is well deserved. It will be one of the best appointment in his government if the assistant truly work. Government is meant to deliver good public service. Traffic is the bane of some states in Nigeria like Lagos, Port Harcourt and even edo state now. YOU don't wanna know the economy lost caused by traffic and the lost of investment location.

A traffic assistant is to ensure free flow of traffic and report issues causing traffic with regard to solving it. He is to create a better traffic design which is a full course of its own in Engineering- Traffic Engineering. Mark the road for road users and punish offenders appropriately. Do you know the dedication to traffic in advance world? who wants to use one hour get to 10 mins distance? I rejected a job twice my salary in Lagos because of Traffic. So I am thumbing Wike for this.

I don't believe you actually wrote this, but then, this must be exactly how Wike rationalized the appointment. Please let me know when they're recruiting for SA on Signposts

kabrud:
But must u insult? If u really want peace, must u insult?

What was the insult involved? Can you tell us? or is it so INSULTIVE that we cannot hear it repeated? Your people call others infidels, kafir and arnawa- NOBODY kills you or attacks you. But if someone make mistake mispronounce prophet name, you will carry knife.
Oga, neither you nor the killers you're supporting are true adherents of your faith!
Killing in God's name is the peak of infidelity, and the fact that you see NOTHING wrong in it, is the reason why it will continue, and is the reason why the WHOLE will always look at islam with trepidation and mistrust. Continue

kabrud:
At least u know they don't take it and one of the easiest ways to cause religious crisis is to do it especially in their midst. If u are truly peace loving as u claim, why must u do it or is ur religion tied to it?

Oga, must you kill? What sort of religion is that? Is it endorsed in your Quran?

kabrud:
And they know very well that a muslim will never take that from

So who has the problem evidently? Something is wrong with people who accept its ok to kill for their religion. If you read it and understood it abit, you'd see that you killers even kill yourselves in your frenzy

sarzy:
I think your prophesy actually came to pass bro? Can Mikel now be compared with Jay-jay? The beauty of Nairaland! Howdy!

Lol, where'd you drag this up from? He's actually proved me wrong no doubt- being a regular fixture at Chelsea under several managers can't be fluke.
Final answer?
Okocha- Brazen, assured on the ball one-on-one, talented, fleet-footed game-changer.

Mikel- Confident, risk-averse, can be counted upon, didn't turn out to be our Messi as predicted.

Izonpikin:
Nigeria needs crude oil export proceeds like never before...tell me I am wrong...

We need export proceeds, and it can come from sources other than crude. Once that begins, the ND has to change its negotiation tactics, militancy will be irrelevant and called what it really is- Criminal. We are where we are because we thought high crude prices would last forever + who would believe other nations would find their own crude? My argument is crude isn't the savior any more, globally too. ND seems to be oblivious of this fact.

Maybe northerners are still buying rice at 9k per bag or fuel at subsidized rate or dollar at 157. If this is the case, then he has a point

Izonpikin:
This is serious men..shiiit is getting too real..

All this is to teach everyone a lesson that we don't just have 3 major tribes(especially the core north) who can tout and beat their chest like they own the country...The real owners are the Niger deltans. ...feeding this nation from time immemorial..

This is delusional. What's with the idea that some group or region own the country? Or that the country can't survive without ND? In all this, you've conveniently omitted the fact that oil is no longer a game changer globally- Everybody has it and it's damn cheap too. ND will learn sooner than later that oil is not the panacea to their ills. All I see is a legit attempt at resource control being hijacked by criminals and murderers under the guise of militancy. I'm certain you don't drink crude when you're hungry, neither do I. So you ain't feeding nobody mate!

RichYoungNigga:
Don't think of that ignorant non educated chap.
He's the richest man in Africa but his tribe is the poorest tribe in Nigeria.
If na Igbo man get the kind money wey im get, he go put Nigeria on the world map, No doubt about that

That is debatable. Meanwhile, who is the richest Igbo businessman in Nigeria, and where has he placed his village or state at least on the Nigerian map for starters...

SeverusSnape:
Kachikwu is an excellent administrator. But unfortunately, Bubu the Mumu doesn't see that, He had to remove him as GMD and replaced with his "competent" brother.

Though the profits isn't unconnected to the fact that Nigerians are paying for petroleum products at exorbitant prices, even when the price of crude is low.

On the one hand, you acknowledge Kachikwu as having done a good job; on the other you've refused to acknowledge that his new position affords him better oversight and more control, which may eventually translate to PMB having made a shrewd move.

Secondly, NNPC being in the black has little to do with the global price of crude versus Nigeria's domestic price. In case you haven't noticed, the cost of refining, transporting and other landing costs don't exactly go hand in hand with per barrel cost. You'd need to reappraise your argument accordingly. By and large, what he did was reduce waste and plug pilfering in NNPC. Nowhere else in the world will you find an oil company declaring losses back to back yet paying staff industry grade wages and bonuses, and still recruiting!

AZeD1:
CBN didn't bar telcos from using airtime for transactions( they don't have that right), they barred the telcos from mobile money and have the licences to banks instead which was a wrong move.

Download CBN guidelines for mobile money operators and you'll see that use of airtime as a means of exchange of value is indeed prohibited. He's correct.

wowmenow:
This picture is old
It's a lie
Nobody sees buhari
He was smuggled into the country to ask rock clinic

And it's old because you say so ? Please pics of him being smuggled in then or.....you know the drill

If not for God, the man would have killed me. Luckily for me, the trigger fired and I shot the man.

You see that even criminals attribute their success to some higher being! The cheek of it....

AntiWailer:
The footage is your right. if anybody withdraws money from your account via ATM without your consent.

You can demand to see the footage.

Whilst this is true, you shouldn't distribute the footage willy nilly. Some smart crooks now avert their faces at ATM points to avoid being captured by the cameras.

If every muslim killed, every christian would be dead.

On the contrary, if every muslim killed, every christian would have to defend themselves.
You don't expect we'd sit and wait in patience till it's our turn to be killed, do you??

MRSALT:
But in the history of Nigeria, there are times we had no foreign reserve and the sell of crude oil was as low as $35 dollars per barrel

But you know what you assert above is a LIE right? Please provide evidence (even a link will do) of periods Nigeria had NO FOREIGN RESERVE, and crude sold for as low as $35. Everybody wants to claim finance expert online overnight

If you do not understand, the banks are indirectly saying 'there is no money' because people are withdrawing cash from their accounts in order to buy dollars from the black markets . Now, banks have no dollars to sell and they have no cash to give you.

Another BOGUS claim!! How much dollar have you personally gone to buy with Naira that you withdrew from your account?? You think every other person you meet on the ATM queue is withdrawing to buy dollar? To what effect and for what reason? My brother people are just trying to survive, not all of us engage in ROUNDTRIPPING . The article is self explanatory- It's more cost effective to have more bank customers use alternative channels rather than come into the banking hall physically, and it also means encouraging people to carry less cash.

Movic1:
There's nothing like hausa christian. All those xtains you see in the north are'nt hausa. They have their own tribe.

Don't display such crass ignorance In your mind, ALL Hausa are Muslims? Are all Yoruba also Ifa adherents? And are all Igbo Catholics? I'm Hausa, and Christian. Deal with it.

blackmatter007:
look at old ussr, look at syria,look at the arab spring, these said countries had massive military arms than what the NA has currently in their inventory but when the people are fed up, when anarchy and civil disobedience takes over, there's nothing any government can do, even the almighty USA will be in chaos.

Pray it doesn't come to that because if it does, forget Nigeria!

Be smart except of course you are a northerner.

For the first line i highlighted, I think you've chosen a poor analogy using countries like the former Soviet Union and the Arab spring. Written in properly established CONfederation constitutions is the right to sovereignty by member states or republics, true federations DO NOT confer that right on member states. I'm not aware the USSR dissolved as a result of resource control, it was due more to differences in ideology and the right to self government based on ethnicity, history and culture. The struggle in ND has always been overtaken by selfish individual interests, which is why troupe after troupe of self-styled emancipation warriors emerge every few years, cause enough damage to be heard and GET some for themselves- End of struggle. Just watch this same scenario play out.

For the second line, I see you're also of the opinion that it somehow makes sense or it's possible for Nigeria to cease to exist as a Nation. Whilst this scenario is not farfetched, there are far more cons that pros. And most of us fail to realize this, so I marvel when people, especially on SM or in casual banter drop the 'Let Nigeria just divide' cliche. If there will be No Nigeria, my brother there will be NO US, as simple as that. North and South Sudan are currently in that mire, watch them fight till eternity. ND kids itself on it's ability to rely solely on Crude and thinks it can go it alone. SE is even more pitiable, because here is a region that is TOTALLY landlocked, dependent on commerce with other Nigerians to survive and who do not have a history of coexisting with each other as one tribe. The North and SW just echo the same chorus from time to time, so as not to be seen as laggards, but their agitations are neither here nor there in my opinion.

For the third line, what has the respondent's ethnicity got to do with being smart or expressing an opinion? If this was our sole yardstick, even you would be guilty

timokoko:
stupidity is wen u jubilate and dance wen NDA bomb oil pipeline and den turn around to blame buhari for no light in ur house......Also stupidity is wen u support d actions of NDA and den turn around to blame d oil company in which u work for not paying ur salary on time.

Truly, the levels of stupidity on display especially on Nairaland should give one cause to worry.

Common spell check, they can't do. Yet they want to 'Carve' their own country! WTF is One Pounds? When they come to grips with Photoshop, then maybe we can take them seriously!

Appland:
Any alert that comes with out your remaining balance is a fraud.
All should be wise.

This is NOT true. Some banks have formatted their credit and debit alerts to exclude your balance.

The press release explicitly states that the governor APPROVED the appointment, not that the governor APPOINTED the Oba of Benin.
They haven't told us who did the APPOINTING, just that it was approved!
So much ado about nothing really, just a lot of angry people EVERYWHERE these days
