Yesterday when Vivian gist wrote about this same issue, some people almost had her neck for dinner, well here is someone else elaborating the whole scenario... atleast vivian called it 10kg bag of rice well here is someone letting you know its actually 8kg of sand and particles lmao, but some people get bad mouth sha

Viviangist's post was an article by APGA Alaigbo aka Mazi Odera aka Stan Chira. The case of Mazi Odera/Val Obienyem vs. Gov. Obiano's government is a long story dating back to the campaign for the succcession of Gov. Peter Obi.
If Gov. Obi gives N1m to each indigene of Anambra state, I will still expect media attacks from Mazi Odera/Val Obienyem's camp.

The main issue: Let me just say that some people are bitter because they were not carried along by Gov.Obiano after campaigning vigorously for him as Peter Obi's successor.

It is difficult for me to believe that MMM will go out like this. It will be back stronger in January. Current participants will smile to the banks. Naysayers will join the bandwagon in order not to miss the high yield.

Once these conditions are met and all doubts have been erased, the system will collapse.

Timeline: July 2017.

Jesus said, "No one can go to the father except through me".

But Nigerian pastors pretend to be brokers for God. That is, pay the brokerage fees (aka tithe) and they will connect your transactions with God. Heck! While at it, they will book your reservation for a room in heaven.

Since there is no shortage of f.ools, the pastors can afford to buy a jet worth millions of dollars while their church members are teetering on the cliff of financial abyss.
\

MMM: Put up capital and receive ( capital + 30% )

Nigerian pastors: Put up capital and receive ( zero + infinite % in God's I.O.U) redeemable in heaven.

It is noteworthy that between the two scams, MMM has better returns.

God is real. Religion is a scam.

the sorry case of substandard materials. The naijaway.

It is not necessarily the problem of substandard materials.

There is a lot of engineering and science involved in building. For example: How many builders vibrate their concrete during pouring to minimize or eradicate air pockets? I bet that more than 90% of local builders don't. Do they even understand the significance?

A lot of builders resort to "good enough" practice. Good thing is that Nigeria is not prone to earthquakes.

OK! When do u need it?

As soon as possible.

If in Nigeria, there is no advantage.

Even though not very expensive, the same fate that befalls expensive cars in Nigeria will be its portion -- they usually end up abandoned in a garage. Folks buy fancy cars and unique cars to show off but keeping the cars running is the ultimate challenge.

feodan:

Why are you gamblers hell-bent on redefining MMM?


Mavrodi himself used the terms "scheme" and "pyramid" to describe MMM. He is even kind enough to issue disclaimers and warnings:

Below is an excerpt from MMM Global's website clearly written on the first page.


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. :-))

Citizens of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus are not allowed to participate in MMM.

Talk2Bella:
Too much are expected of women, we must clean, cook, give birth, change our names, be faithful, submissive, meek, diligent, steadfast, and make our homes a success.


From the day a woman is born these instructions are like a program installed in her brain, she’s been programmed to do these things without questions and abide by them, women give up so much to be in the marital race, they give up more than the men and one single thing a man should do to make a woman feel special, one thing he should do to show sign of commitment, one thing he should do to show he’s going to be her burden bearer for life, he feels too big to do it because he says he’s not a white man.


Do you know what differentiates a man from a boy? If you don’t know this, you’re still a boy it doesn’t matter how old you are, real men know what to do, real men don’t feel ashamed to do things, real men don’t say “what will my friends think of me when I do these things for her” real men are doers, real men are pace setters, real men make boys envious and want to be like them, he thinks and weighs his actions, he foresees and makes plans for the future, he knows going down on one kneel to propose to the woman he loves is a sign of commitment and not a macho contest, he knows this is a must.


I accompanied a friend to go get an engagement ring, he wanted to plan a surprise engagement party for his soon to be fiancée, while we were getting the rings he said to me “Bella I don’t think I’d be able to go down on one knee to propose, I am a wolf, I lead a pack, I can’t go down on one kneel to propose”. I felt like a sledge hammer had hit me on the head, I must have turned bright red at the moment because I kept saying “You’re not serious, she’s the queen of the pack, even a wolf bows to his queen, he kept blabbing how he didn’t think he will be able to do it because the pack would be there.


Do you want to know the symbolism of going down on one knee to propose? That’s submission, that’s protection, that’s acceptance, that’s seeking, you go down on one knee, look up to her and she looks down on you, she sees all your flaws and accepts you for who you are and not what you are, in that moment you kneel you have given her the impression that she comes first before anyone, your back is there to bear her burdens, your shoulder is there for her to rest on, your knee is there to support her, when she looks down on you with love and sincerity her prayers for you are accepted in heaven. Going down on one knee represents, honor, respect, surrender, humility, etc.


Real men know what I mean, real men know what I’m talking about, it’s another Saturday and you’re screaming women are evil, women are deceitful, women are cunning, women are this, women are that but your mates are getting married because they know the right thing to do, keep saying you can’t go down on one knee to propose and your future partner will keep passing you by.

You put a lot of unnecessary twists to a simple gesture.
A man goes down on his knee to beg a lady to marry him just the same way a man is expected to do the toasting.

Because the society has made it trendy (especially with all the public display of affection) to seek attention does not warrant opening a Psychology and Philosophy textbooks for it. Until the 2000s, who was doing the kneeling in public?

It is a simple gesture that has been abused just like anything else including pre-wedding pictures. Until a few years back, who was doing pre-wedding photo opps?

All these na travel-learn behaviours. If in doubt, ask why Nigerians dey do Thanksgiving sales and dey even do Halloween costumes join. Na too much American movies dey cause am. Everybody wan belong.

Go and ask your papa and uncles how dey take propose to their wives?

A taste of their own medicine?

The same hypocritical christians that burn shrines all over the place. Atleast, the guy didn't burn any church.

Respect is reciprocal. Christians respect muslims and expect respect in return. But the same christians victimize traditionalists and expect no reprisals. SMH.

God is great. Religion is bullshit.

NairalandDSS:
When you start dating, you always desire to become a priority in your partner’s life. There are many cases where you will find your man or woman keeps you as the top priority and never lets you down. But, there are few career-oriented people who do not treasure the value of a partner. If you have a man who loves career more than you, then here are few tips to deal with such a workphobic.


Deal with a workphobic man:

Talk to him: Many women get into extra-marital affairs only at the time when their men do not ask their wives. If you want to save your relationship, talk to your man and discuss. Explain him that it becomes impossible for you to manage everything alone. If he fights with you, you have to take a stand.

Can you ignore?: This is what many women wish to do, ignore their men. But, is it really possible to ignore your man and stay in your own world, the way he does? The answer is a big Yes! You have to stop caring about him. When he is not bothered to ask and care about you, just leave him and start concentrating on yourself. When he is not at all interested to think about you and the dedication that you have towards him, start thinking that he doesn’t exist. Many women suffer as their men are always far away for work or business purpose. Thus, these women gets used to staying all alone. Even if workphobic men are at home, they will hardly look above their laptop screen!

Hang out with friends: Why die alone when your man is not bothered about you? Go out, meet your friends and spend some time out of your house. This is one of the best ways to deal with depression that comes when you stay with a man who loves his career more. Go out, shop, party and enjoy with friends.

Ask him: You do not need to ask him to leave his job and sit at home with you. Here, this tip means that you have to ask your workphobic man if he going to prioritize you with his job or not. The answer will make clear on what he values the most. If he tries to explain, you stand on your front and tell how much you suffer when he leaves you all alone.

Decide: If your man is not at all bothered, you have to take a decision. If he loves career more, it is best that you move on. It is no use of staying with a person who can’t respect your existence in his life. If your workphobic man understands your issues and is ready to solve them, restart.

Do you know the difference between WORKAHOLIC(loves to work) and your WORKPHOBIA (hates to work)?

phobia means aversion to something. In your case, you are talking about a man who has extreme or irrational fear of work a.k.a. extremely lazy man. You got your definition twisted. Next time, do not copy any English article written by an Asian.

RazaqMB:
Hello everyone
I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of having large wheels with small tyre bezels on a car. I have been asking mechanics and some car enthusiasts about having larger wheels but one answer stood out from a mechanic. He said cars with larger wheels tend to have their tyres burst easily so I'm wondering if that's true. I was planning on putting a 17inch rim on my car(225/50/r17 or 205/55/r17) but on hearing this I got scared so I decided to ask the house. Thanks in advance

Adv:
-Better handling.
-Low profile tires have higher speed rating.


Disadv:
-They cause drag resulting in higher fuel consumption.

-It distorts your speedometer calibration (you could be going 100km/hr but your guage reads 85km/hr)
-The ride is bumpy (you will feel gallops more)
-Your wheel is at risk of bending/damaging if you enter a gallop.

Summary:
They are not good on Nigeria roads.

Nigerians can be creative.

The biggest challenge is poor finishing.

MY THOUGHT ON MMM BEFORE THE FREEZE

InvertedHammer:

Two things that kill a fad:
1. A bad joke
2. Rumours.

MMM will fall victim of either one. The scheme may be legit, but the participants will have no control over what may spin it out of control. Some people are out to destroy MMM. Historically, such people usually win because fear is greater than greed. Fear will destroy in one week what it took greed four years to build. If in doubt, take a clue from stock market crashes. Explanations only come after the carnage.

Venture is a risky undertaking. Check.
Financial is anything relating to money. Check.
MMM is a financial risk. Check.

Ponzi schemes last a long time. Even in Ponzi schemes, people make a lot of money. It is the greedy ones who don't know when to get out that get burned. Is MMM a Ponzi scheme? I believe that it is a matter of semantics.

30% returns? Everyone knows that the business model is not sustainable. But if you know how to game the system, you will come out unscathed.
I don't know how MMM works. But looking at the claims, it shows that it will take 4 months to turn profit. That is a very short term good return.
N1m yields N300k per month. So in 4 months, N1m yields N1.2m. Then take the N1.2m out and play with the initial N1m. Your risk becomes your time. If it crashes (I prefer the term supersaturates -- recipients outnumber helpers), then you lose nothing but time and effort.

Dey weren't insured. Banking then wasn't as regulated as it is nw. U r tlkn abt d days b4 d 25 billion recapitalization criterion was enforced by CBN.

Don't forget that banks operate on Fractional Reserve banking. That is why banks place limit on withdrawals. To withdraw a certain amount from the bank, a depositor will need to give advance notice to the bank because the funds have to be put together.

And when a bank collapses, there is a hierarchy followed in settlement. The regular customers may have to wait a lifetime to get that
NDIC insurance payment. Legally, banks are not mandated to give advance notice before collapsing. Some things look good on papers.
What is pension plan in Nigeria? It is an insurance against old age. Sort of. Right? Well, pensioners have learned that it is not always
as rosy as it appears on papers. The same goes for a systemic collapse of the banking industry.

Don't forget that banks are loaning out money that they don't have. A bank that has N1000 in its account can write a loan for N10,000.
Once you understand how banks work, you will learn how to secure your investments. Nigerians call them serial debtors, but those
Nigerian billionaires that owe billions to the banks and their lawyers understand the concept of banking better than the average Joe depositor
out there.

For example, after Hurricane Katrina in Florida, insurance companies refused to pay compensation to victims because they don't have
enough money to cover the costs. When pushed, they filed for bankcruptcy and that was the end. US Fed. Reserve had to step in
and crank up the money-printing machine. Remarkably, Nigeria does not have that luxury because she does not print her own currency unlike US Fed. Reserve that can crank up the printing machine any time.

\

GMBuhari:
I should ask you if those banks followed due process, had the capital or even insured with NDIC?

Collapse and insufficient capital is why banks were merged 20B cap I think

Every money you deposit belongs to the bank. They issue you I.O.U against the fund.

Any government can confiscate her citizens' money at any time. In Cyprus, the government seized 40% of depositors' funds.

Go and read full Nigeria Banking laws.

ebenholer:
It is even a sin to judge men of God. And acne lead to hell doing so. It is a pity that people forsake the way of righteousness and keeps judging others. I have discovered over time that those who judge others are majorly sinners who are looking for sinners like them.

/
Anyone can wake up any day and claim that (s)he is a wo(man) of God.

Who made these people men of God?

God didn't tell you that. The pastors did.

If a man walks into your house and claims that he is a surgeon, will you let him operate on your daughter without verification?

Pastors rape members. Pastors scam people. Pastors sleep with other people's wives. Pastors impregnate church members. Pastors fighting for church fund. Why? Because fo.ols embrace "touch not my annointed" slogan and trust every charlatan that claims to be of God.

Every scammer that has made his game daringly obvious should be called out. Evil thrive because a few good people keep mute.

Kudos to Freeze.

I cannot even look at any car now.

$45k car @ N199/$ exchange rate used to be about N9m before S & H.

At the current rate of N485/$, it becomes N22m.

No. Thank you. They can even close Apapa wharf for all I care.

January 14th.

The most important date in 2017.

Second coming of Christ? Na. Second coming of MMM.

Tension will be high on the 13th.

If most victims of domestic violence stay with their abusers, what makes you think MMM players will let go?

It usually takes a second crash to shock them from denial to acceptance.

You visited a family and the madam of the house doesn't like you. Isn't that a clue to leave the family alone especially when the husband (your friend) is gone for 3 months?

No. This leech decided to stay for a month and 3 weeks even with all the threats from madam. That is not a visit. He overstayed his welcome and that irritated the heck out of madam.

Sexxkillz:
[color=#000030]He didn't force anyone. They joined cos they were greedy.

Dumbfucks. Some one asks you to deposit money and renames it "providing help". He pays you 30% from your own money and renames it "getting help", and these idiots are dancing.

Now they have suspended paying you back your money and instead ask you to keep depositing, and you still defend them. . . This is worse than brainwashing. To think "educated" people are part of this shit_, makes one wonder what kind of peppersoup education they received.[/color]

It has nothing to do with education.

After all, a lot of educated people still pay tithes to fund the extravagant lifestyle of pastors and pretend (or are deluded) that they are giving to God.

A sucker is born every second. A f.ool and his money are easily separated. Snakes swallow other snakes to get bigger. Wealthy folks are rich because they device ways of taking money from those who have it and don't know how to use it--wealth transfer.

Seun:
But their money is not in MMM. Their money has been given away to participants who joined MMM earlier than them, including the organizers of MMM and the top guiders who withdrew millions just before MMM crashed. The money you see when you log into the MMM website does not exist anywhere. It's not in any bank account. It's just numbers on a computer, which is no better than your likes on Nairaland. If MMM is reactivated in January, everyone will immediately try to get help and and it won't work because nobody would be stupid enough to provide help.

/
People still don't get it. They are living in denial. They should have studied how ponzi scheme works. Maddoff pulled $50b scheme for years and was philanthropic to a fault. But his system crashed when it became saturated.

All those waiting in January is akin to waiting to cash out "likes" and "ftc" comments. Both feel good but only exist in virtual world.

Who in their right minds is going to pay you after all the panic? Folks will reset to Capital Preservation mode -- better to be locked out of the system than to lose money. At this point, people want their original funds. They don't care about the 30% profit anymore.
