sgtponzihater1:
U can't do a post and keep mentioning my name. Sports betting is not illegal and it's a healthy game that can be abused like any other thing. Remove my name from ur write up and make ur points clear.
Am particular abt u cos u keep spamming the investment section with countless anti mmm threads since last year. 10s of thread just to keep saying the same thing. Dispute the fact that betting creates no value. Dispute the fact that winnings are paid from losses of others. Dispute the fact that mmm made it very clear that it's not an investment, it got no guarantees and all monies can be lost. I think what u shld tell peeps here is that as they invite people to mmm, let them be honest to tell them what mmm says abt itself. Has any bet shop or lottery given such kind of warnings to participants? All they do is advertise and make it seem as if one got a 90% chance of winning. Let's be honest and unbiased with the truth. Even as a Christian u obviously seem to be, u know gambling ain't even right. So stop playing holy.

ponziponzi:
"Both gambling and lotteries are presented as games, and the risk of losing is well known in both. I would say an essential element of a Ponzi scheme is deception, as it is a loss presented as a guaranteed win. Ponzi schemes present themselves as safe investments with guaranteed returns, not as games of chance where both a win and a loss are possible. Thus, I think it would be unwise to refer to gambling or lotteries as a Ponzi scheme, when in fact it's the exact opposite."

copied
"WARNING!
There are no guarantees and promises! Neither explicit nor implicit.
There are neither investments nor business! Participants help each other, sending each other money directly and without intermediaries. That’s all! There's nothing more.
There are no securities transactions, no relationship with the professional participants of the securities market; you do not acquire any securities. (Do you need them? :-))
There are no rules. In principle! The only rule is no rules. At all! Even if you follow all of the instructions, you still may "lose". "Win" might not be paid. Without any reasons or explanations.
And in general, you can lose all your money. Always remember about this and participate only with spare money. Or do not participate at all! Amen. :-))"

That's mmm's warning there. So if u are referring to those 419ners out specifically to defraud, fine. Because none of ur points apply to mmm. I expect u are educated enough to interpret the above very clear warning. U can't disprove the fact that no value is created in betting and gambling. It's sheer robbing peter to pay Paul. the same sweet mouth used to lure people to gambling is similar to that used to lure people to ponzi.
ALL ARE SAME BUT MMM IS LESSER EVIL.
InvestmentSgtponzihater1, Compared To Sports Betting And Lotteries, MMM Is Lesser Evil by donpata(op): 6:19pm On Aug 01, 2017
I have read closely sgtponzihater1 claims and hatred for mmm and I want him and cohorts to disprove this few points cos he has left betting and lottery but makes noise on mmm. I do mmm but I try to be true to myself and objective. Some mavrodians may not like me calling mmm ponzi. but that's the fact sha.

1. Is MMM a Ponzi?
Yes, and so is sports betting and lottery.
... Now, the simplest definition of a ponzi is "robbing peter to pay Paul". I do mmm and yes, mmm is an advanced ponzi scheme but with some humanity at heart.
... Now back to sports betting. How do they make money? The sports betting shop makes money from losses of "betters" or "stakers". For some who gamble N5k and win N1m, there must have been over a thousand people that have lost between N1h and N5k or even more.
Now, that is simply robbing Peter to pay Paul. Its simple arithmetic. For a betting shop to make profit, people must lose their gamble and that is always the prayer of the former.
... Same applies to lotteries and other Baba Ijebus - Forget that some have sponsors. Most don't. For some 20 people to win N1m, some thousands must have lost and that is how lotteries are sustained. Without losses on the part of "customers", I mean gamblers, virtually all of them will close shop.

Even Frank Idowus WWM was a semi ponzi. B4 I hanged boot, I know I lost like N2k trying to reach the top. I know many have lost ten times more than me and still never got to the show let alone the "hot seat". Where did my money go? It was given to "Paul". Will I ever get it back? useless question Lol. The only reason mtn is there is mainly cos of broadcasting cost but am sure those guys make sufficient Phs to handle the few GHs. Soooo, it was a semi advanced "robbing peter to pay Paul" game.

2. Is Value created in MMM?
No! No value and they got no adverts so as a layman, I see no earnings from traffic. I believe as guider of all guiders, mavrodi don't need to cheat the system like ghw. He simply gains from his bonuses. Well, thats on a lighter note.
MMM creates no value, neither do sports betting or lotteries. All are ponzi schemes - robbing Peter to pay Paul; some must lose for others to win. That's the rule. Though I will say later how mmm is better.

3. Is MMM a sin?
Well, maybe; since people must have to lose for others to gain. But contrary to sgtponzihater1 claims, MMM is in fact a lesser evil. will say y later. But if lottery and sports Betting also involves robbing Peter for Paul's gain, then they can pass for sins. The same God that says don't kill is same God that says don't murder and is same God that says don't lie. So sgtponzihater1, if mmm is sin, so are the others.

4. Why is Mmm "illegal" but not Sport betting or Lotteries?
I wish to remind u that all are ponzis in their ways. MMM is declared "illegal" cos government don't gain from it. Lottery shops and bet shops obtain licenses and pay monthly and annual dues/taxes. Mmm don't. Mmm is "illegal" cos it has no registration or tax file/tin with firs.

5. Have people lost in MMM?
Somewhat, though people have even lost more in lotteries and betting.

6. Is Mmm really illegal in Nigeria?
Well, yes and no too. depends on how u look at it. To the best of my knowledge, only warnings were issued to people to be wary of it. There's no law proscribing MMM's ponzi pattern. In fact, if it were strictly illegal, the NPF would have locked up thousands who have been promoting it on the streets, on radio or in schools. But cos there is no such proscription on MMM, we are free. So it appears it ain't really illegal after all. Then if sgtponzihater1 says its sin cos it's illegal, one may be save to say that since it ain't really illegal, it ain't really sin.

7. Ain't mmm a better option?
In the ponzi line, people lose in sports betting, baba ijebu and lotteries on a daily basis. But in MMM, so long as the system is healthy, all keep gaining. yes All. In Mmm, it's not really luck per se. So long as the system is healthy, ur gains are guaranteed. It is possible for people to place 50 different bets and lose. In Mmm, u cant pH up to 10 different times and lose all. MMM is thus a lesser evil. Soooooo..... sgtponzihater1 and co, stop ur exasperating noise and get busy with ur life. Learn.

And abt innovation, I got 3ideas that will need arnd N3m to roll up. The banks said they will charge me 26% interest on just 600k they are willing to give me. As an advocate of innovation, Can u suggest alternatives for me so I can leave mmm? @sgtponzihater1

Since January, I have been phing and ghing. Through this period, only one person uploaded a fake pop but later paid up still. and of the tens of people that have been matched with me, only 1 ever defaulted. in fact, I received 2 alerts today for mony requested today. only one person left and the person has "acknowledged to make payment. For ghw, I also put money there and it never came. I put again hoping to recover and now, its 5days after I GH but no matching. I hope it gets well soon.

Is it the flex you changed? Or you removed the charging port alone and changed..

If it's the entire flex that was changed, my brother goan sell it as it is and buy another phone..

As regards your first question, yes it can stop it from connecting to a pc..
The USB port comes attached to a flex which has the vibrator, mouth piece too on it. u just unclip it and the whole unit is out. 5 of it was tested but no way. Thanks for ur response. I will sell it off or just dash it out.

Wait, since you tried different cords and charger then that's not the issue..

You've changed charging port too right?

What's disturbing your phone should be the charging IC.. I'm assuming the hot note you are using was that 2015 model right?

It develops issue with charging IC over time, change it and you're good to go..

Last time I checked, it was 3k Labour inclusive, could be more now..
I appreciate ur response sir. But will charging ic have anything to do with phone not connecting to PC? Yes it's the 2015 hot note with 2g/16. The charging port is sort of a flex which carries the vibrator and mouth piece on it.

@asuustrike2009 I have not spent up to 2k self.
Moreover, for me to spend 16k on old phone, I rather sell it as scrap and use add to the 16k to get a new phone. thanks

If you had changed the USB cord you were using initially, you probably won't have gone to carlcare...

Learn to troubleshoot issues so you don't spend money blindly..


And please when next your phone develops an issue, just avoid carlcare like a plague and look for a very competent engineer.. What carlcare said you should comman change for 16k is definitely the panel, na their way be that!

Any small thing they wee be shouting 'change panel' upandan!
Very incompetent folks!
Bro I tried using 4 usbs but to no avail. The USB recognises other phones but not mine. I changed chargers also; even got that long roped bbm charger and the charging is still slow. I noticed that even when I am charging with AC, when I check the battery setting, it says USB charge. And abt carlcare, u are so so right. Na panel dem talk abt. Well, I will go and try different good USB cables in the market and see if it works. thanks
PhonesAny Help On Infinix Hot Note Slow Charging Issue? by donpata(op):
Just 4 days ago, my hot note stopped flash charging. Then it takes over 3hrs to get me 10%. Worst still, it does not connect to PC. once connected to pc, it simply charges it but it's nothing happens. I took it to Carl care and they said they will change the charging port for 1200. They did but it still did not work. So they said I will pay 16k for bla bla bla. I respect myself collect the phone waka. I went to roadside engineers but after trying 5 different ports, the guy gave up. Also, the ba3 discharges fast.

Has anyone experienced this and found a cheap solution? cos I can't dash carlcare 16k just like that. pls help.

It's from their site bro. And someone is claiming we shld pay him to help. There's no magic that can be done except the web developers work on their codes. Dont expect that to happen sha cos this is naija; they care less abt that iss. If u use just one result, it will save. so I have resolved to use my external result b4 I go do 2-0. What I will advise is that if the deadline reaches and still, no solution, select 1 sitting but just combine both results by entering good grades from both. When it's time for interview, u can make clarifications.

Hi guys,

In some days time, the NIS online recruitment will come to an end.

Are you still having issues when you are applying and it is giving you a lot of headache?

Some applicants are still having issues like;
1. From filling of O'level results
2. Locking of data and the rest


When filling those forms sometimes network of your location and the computer you are using to apply also might cause issues if they are not OK. So, make sure you make use of updated browsers with fast network.

The application is not up to an hour to start and finish the whole thing, you just have to follow each stage one after the other.

Some Nairalanders have been calling me since the beginning of the NIS online recruitment, and I put them through when applying stages by stages and I also helped some applicants filled their applications and got their confirmation slip and guarantor form less than an hour without even seeing each other before. Is not a magic and they paid me after seeing what I did for them. Many applicants including Nairalanders that I helped can testify to it as well.

I can help you too if you probably want to apply. I will do everything for you, and then you can pay me after seeing the confirmation. All I need is all your details sent to my whatsapp and I will take it up from there. There is a discount for nairalanders.

Those filling it themselves can also get in touch with me for any issues they are facing when applying. I will help them in my own capacity.

You can call/whatsapp me on 08029359634
Thank you.
there's nothing u can do abt the o level result. There's a problem with the code and u can't do Nada. just wanna cash on the gullible.
