7. And, obviously, he needs to know that you have the same long-term goals as him.


It makes no sense to marry a woman who wants everything you hate in life. This would basically be the same as shooting yourself in the foot. Guys know this, and they will only pop the question to a woman who will work with their life plan.

this one is a big factor for guys i think. You both need to share common (or at least you need to be comfortable with each other's) long term values and aspirations

17 Reasons why I can boldly say MMM has not crashed but re-strategizing for better outing in 2017:

switch47:
if the rules of MMM are kept, this cycle of PH/GH can continue forever

not true. the number (or value) of PHs need to increase annually in multiples of 23 every year
MMM Nigeria currently boasts of about 2.4 million members. this number needs to increase to 56 million by dec 2017 and to 1.3 billion by dec 2018 to sustain your 30% monthly interest else a crash will occur. The alternative is for existing members to PH 23 times more than they PH-ed in 2016 without increasing their GH

switch47:
Continuous website availability

many Ponzi's have crashed yet they still have a fully functional website with online support

switch47:
the founder of MMM, Sergey Mavrodi is very commitment to seeing that his dream of midwifing a world of financial freedom comes to pass. He demonstrated by this by serving a jail term. His daughter was kidnapped in the pursuit of this same vision.

he duly went to jail for fraud. Scheme members in Russia blamed the government for the crash as they would in Nigeria when (if it hasn't) it inevitably crashes.

switch47:
No central account. MMM does not have a central account. It is a peer to peer help structure therefore there is no room for embezzlement of funds

how do you guarantee that there are NO individuals who GH without ever PH-ing, whose mavros can grow arbitrarily and are being electronically manipulated

switch47:
MMM has gone on pause mode in South Africa, Zimbabwe and china and returned so Nigerian case cannot be different.

did people retain their pre-pause mavros and where they able to GH based on the aforementioned mavros?

haywire07:
This thief will come to naija and he will be ceremoniously welcomed by his fellow flat.heads.
Even policemen will be sent to accompany him from the port to the banquet .


Well , I trust baba buhari wey no dey fit forgive person ....
Tommorow headline go be: Efcc arrests Ibori for alleged stealing of meat from the pot back in 1975

how is he a flat.head?

The biggest problem with our values system (and why corruption thrives) is tribalism.

You have insulted an entire tribe because of a man who is not from that tribe.

checkolatunji:
Real Mu.Gu. Yes Tinubu is a thief but he hasn't been caught just as you

Mr boy can you pls proof that?

abi o. at least Tinubu hasnt been convicted.

and people need to know that not everyone celebrates Tinubu.

to celebrate a convicted person like this speaks a lot about our values as a nation.

emmabest2000:
RIP

Who should we blame ?
APC or MMM ?

MMM was advertised in churches?

oyibadjeke:
I jst wonder what anti MMM pple would do if MMM got back as planned! If UC cld get back ,y nt MMM!

the only way it would get back is if people PH more in january and even this happens, it can only sustain for a few months before it crashes again.

I notice most Mavrodians actually know that every GH comes from a PH which means Ponzi. What i cannot understand is why you guys dont understand that the lifetime of a ponzi like this is tied to how much PH grows faster than GH. in your (MMM) case, PH has to grow at 30% every month.

If we assume that people PH the same amount, then after one year the number of mavrodians must become 23 times the initial number for the scheme to survive one year where people that PH will get their profit! remember it is an exponential growth per month where common ratio is 1.3

AidilZ:
Some people for this thread still dey talk of providing help and getting help come January. E be like say una wan lose more money.

Issokay.

Kwantinu.

as in ehn

it is so simple to see that MMM was bound to crash. each 30% profit per month comes from someone else's PH. the net sum of money in the scheme never grows except by new PH.

this is classic Ponzi without any attempt to mask. Most Modern day ponzi's even try to mask by introducing some products to be sold etc.

APCmyheart:
I swear i think that is exactly what should have been done a very long time ago, I talk about this same thing with a friend few months ago and i think it's best option..

No black market anymore, CBN should have their agents in different banks in some location where they will sell dollars to private individuals and make sure it's a fix amount weekly and purpose of the money should be known..

The buyer most provide his/her international passport before buying, Only international should be made the only means of ID..

i just dey laugh. I am sorry, you will be surprised at how ineffective this approach will be.

vickchizy:
Why are Nigerians like these?they said January 14th why not wait and see.MMM has.not crashed if not why is there site still functioning..I have my million in it but I won't tarnish the image of MMM because of one month pause mood .They said used your SPARE MONEY not ALL YOUR MONEY.Life is all about RISK.I STAND with MMM.

they can crash and leave their website and your accounts online so you can be declaring your mavros whoch cannot is not a legal means of tender.

it is either:

(1) they have crashed and are using this as an excuse - note that this frozen approach was used in other countries they crashed

(2) they have not crashed but want to return in january to capture the anti-MMM peeps who will now join the scheme after seeing them bouncing back and waxing stronger. and then they will crash a few months later.

Understand that MMM business model is unsustainable. the 30% you get as return after one month is wholly someone else's principal.

raygurl:
Good morning mavrodians

I want to implore us to exercise patient as for the latest news on ground, MMM is not all about the money but the ideology of financial freedom. A lot of people are still putting up mentality of been enslaved to money which is not suppose to be so for we mavrodians.

If you all logging to your personal office you will see that your mavros are intact and your 30% growth has not been tampered with.
This measure of mavro frozen is to cub greed as for people that will want to get help but won't fund the system back by providing help this festive season. It is better for MMM to sustain for years so we can continue smiling than for it to be down and people would start complaining again.

People behind the system are geniuses and they know the best for the system so please do not panic.

Please help calm your downlines

MMM
Together we will change the world

I admire your uncommon optimism. An optimism devoid of any iota of rationality

ThisYourTatafo:
Lol illiteracy is the ability to read and NOT comprehend.

What they said was you can't get paid till middle of January , they never said you cannot grow your investment.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DO BUSINESS KNOW THAT U SAVE AND SAVE AT CERTAIN PERIODS NOT CAUSE U DON'T NEED cash, it's cause it's called planning.


This MMM guys have good strategists im sure of that and just like Moses, the people of Israel complained several times but the ones who know the power behind them trusted in Moses' leadership skill.


Read again what MMM said and if u get sense u go know say they only doing this HOLD for 3 weeks to create SUSTAINABILITY.


BY the way as soon as i saw the news on my PO this morning,
I provided help of 500k. Na my money.


If Nigerians wanna help themselves they won't cause panic.

Let's learn to read and understand abeg

just to understand how MMM works, is there any external value added besides the PH members provide?

if not then it can never be sustainable and will need new PH to take care care of existing GH requests. and as GH value grows faster than PH value. it would then be a ponzi scheme which is bound to crash.

eDoctorr:
Don't judge El-Rufai, he knows better.
You can't be here in southwest with no Insurgency and start blaming northern leaders for kicking against potential terrorists. U can't call his decision Fanatical since he is also a muslim.

are you sure he considers them muslim?

SirWere:
Is it not funny that when we hit logical absurdities; there is an instant reversal to; we don't know; we're too small to comprhend.


Fallacy of special pleading....... In a box.

well it typically happens when we cannot prove something but at the same time it cannot be disproved.

Mendelssohn:
My point is..... Did her father at once tell her he's not being paid his full salaries and rightful entitlements? If the answer is NO as I guess, what does she want Buhari to do about her impecuneity? This is the mindset of an average Nigerian.....that once the father becomes even a councillor, they need not work but the government must provide the family with atm machine. She should go and get a job and life if anything and stop this social media ranting. She should face her dad is he's not sorting her as she expects. The Era of plundering our Commonwealth is gone for good. Period!

you do not know if she has a job and life already but you should know she has a right to wail.

YourNemesis:
Maybe.
But out of the 28, at least 20 will be in the SE and SS.

you do not know for sure

xnsandrxns:
Just read through the thread and see how they are quick to drag Yorubas into it
None of them is saying anything about exam malpractice being wrong

yeah dont mind the tribalists (i mean the Igbo ones, who dragged Yoruba into it)

xnsandrxns:

Land of shortcuts
Shameful
After being busted
Watch how they'll try and drag Yorubas into their shamelesness

note that 28 schools were banned accross the country. who knows our states could be involved too

ikbnice:
If Buhari had lived up to expectation as per his campaign promises , this wouldn't have happened. We Nigerians should collectively apologise to GEJ. The man is the best president so far this country has ever produced.
The first Nigerian politician to have said, "My political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian" and he lived by it.
God bless GEJ once again.

Was his government terrible wasteful in a time of surplus - YES
was his government unfairly criticized - YES
is he a Hero for handing over in an election he clearly lost - NO
Am i happy with the current president's performance - NO
Do I want GEJ back - NO
if GEJ were to contest against PMB in future, who would i vote for - NONE
does Nigeria have to be split between those for GEJ and those for PMB - NO

modath:
3 Gbosas for you.... No matter how much some people hate to hear it, IB's inadequacies made Bubu that has been rejected 3x a viable & preferred option. Chikena.

except that there were other options besides GEJ & PMB

Chartey:
I was waiting for that idiotic comment. Dem ask simple question e don dey call Iheanacho. Do you know the number of aspiring footballers still playing on sand sand pitch with grey hair after 20 years of hoping?
The surest way to financial success is still academic success. Rate may not even be up to 50% but things like football have rates like 1%.

To the question, if it's 4.44 like that gentleman's please include it. Your CV should have things that will positively distinguish you from the others and such a CGPA is one. If it's however close to or even below the median point of that degree class then there's no need.

Exactly if one has a 3.3/3.4 or 4.4/4.5, then it should be included. It could help re-classify one. it has worked on me before while going through a candidate's resume.

DrRasheed:
The only honest igbo

he is not Igbo

sarrki:
Check all the comments above is just from a particular

Section of the country

Why the hatred for pmb ?

So they want everyone to hate him ?

NO

I now understand why the presidency can be so distant from the truth. I see why GEJ turned a blind eye to the glaring corruption permeated in his government. it is because of people like you. Media agents who fail to tell your bosses the truth.

MrPresident1:
Yes na.

He MUST go to greet and propitiate his fore fathers for a successful reign.

you go wait tire o.

I have lived in benin and know their culture. i assure you, this Oba is going nowhere

Onijagidijagan:
Not at all they same thing..as a yoruba person I can understand them all.

your tribe depends on your post.

yeye Troll !

MrPresident1:
Nothing wrong in the Ooni being present at the coronation of the Ononoba.

But Ewuare 11 MUST visit the Ooni first before any other Oba after his coronation.

visit ke !!!

CliffordOrji:
As a true Nwafo Igbo I am often perplexed whenever I read/hear my Ummuna brothers refer to Nnamdi Azikiwe as a Hero. For those who do not know; Nnamdi Azikiwe betrayed we Igbos. He was the one that composed the Biafran National Anthem, but ironically, during the heat of the Biafran civil war, Azikiwe ran away from Biafra. He defected to Nigeria and supported the Nigerian governemnt in the killing of his own Biafran people.

Obafemi Awolowo's free education policy amongst many others is an achievement the Yoruba's can regard to as the legacy of the defunct Western region; what can we Igbos point to as Nnamdi Azikiwe's achievment in the eastern region? Nothing !!

For those who do not know; prior to the 1950's, Nnamdi Azikiwe left Igboland, he went to Yorubaland and greedily fought both tooth and nail to become the leader of the western regional house of assembly at Ibadan. Awolowo's political party, A.G defeated Azikiwe's NCNC and disgracefully chased him back to Igboland. When he came back to Alaigbo what did he do for we Igbos? Nothing!! This particular university we are beating our chest about was built many years after more than five generation of Yoruba's had been going to the University in England. Even Chinua Achebe the greatest academia in Igboland had his own university education in Yorubaland at the University College of Ibadan

Yoruba troll lol !!!

why do trolls always use this format for name and surname.

CACAWA:
[size=14pt]"He is yet to tell me but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again."[/size]
Many of us who voted for him share her view.

Some dogmatic zombies think one has to be a proverbial fly that follows a dead body to the grave.

The fact that we voted for PMB in 2015 and are yet to see a change says a lot.

But what we must also agree on is that there is no better politician today. I may have no choice but PMB regardless, cos the rest of today's politicians are a waste of space...so corrupt and so dishonest.

Until we the youths come together to identify those amongst some us that can do it, and mentor such persons for leadership.

true few alternatives

Shydon:
Could you pls go back and read the search warrant once more. It's gotten before the search. it's clearly signed on the 5th of October while the search was carried out on Friday which was 7th of October.


Na war o for these Wailers...wuna no dey get tired of wailing? You don t have to be too hard on yourselves nah

it is a search warrant not arrest.

Well I dont know if a search warrant allows to arrest.

The first time igbos(2) and hausas(7) will collaborate, it was to kidnap someone. .

uduefe is not igbo

the other english name might even be hausa

delishpot:
Not only Christians. Any religion can do same. The fertile ground is poor governance, crime and poor infrastructure. lack of basic necessities leave the people no where else to turn but God.
I should know, I was once like that. Not the fake miracle seeking but the Desperate miracle seeking type. It did not have to be shown physically. If you showed me something like this, you ussualy drive me away. I am too grounded for that...
Now I still hope for miracles.But I work it differently.
I hope to be a motivational speaker soon. There is a lot to talk about with Nigerians. As soon as I can get sponsors, I would delve into it.

You are already one. You don't need to host big speaking sessions and all that.

You have done the right thing by starting with your circle of influence (nairaland thread etc.)

chibuzorAbia:
Before nko?

Face reality my brother, Igbo already own the Atlantic Ocean, bar beach, the lagoon and EVERYTHING in Lagos. My Aunty's husband owns Alausa offices. And we will buy the Federal Secretariat when the FG is ready to sell like we bought Falomo, Ikoyi.

Igbo have taken over!

why do Trolls from one tribe take up popular names from the other tribe and use name and surname without spaces.

i see this pattern a lot: some Igbo guy named AdewaleAdebayo, a yoruba guy named ChibuzorAbia etc.

did you tribal trolls have a meeting to agree on this naming convention?
