Opeyemi5:don't worry, just try to sort it out amicably, anger doesn't give birth to a good child, it can destroy a 100yrs relationship in less than a 100 secs. So pls my brother don't be angry and we've all spoken to Mike, you too know how simple he's only people feel he's arrogant and hard but we close to him knows how simple he's to deal with. So pls bikko, just try to sort it out amicably |

lordmayor4:and has he shown you the proof of the money he got back or denied the allegations? Why not try to let the sleeping dog lie and let the guy sort his issue amicably rather than trying to root out what is not. The innocent guy has his money at stake pls. |

Opeyemi5:Ope, sincerely I can understand you but you see sometimes we get so desperate to buy items to an extent of getting our naira exchange from any source due to govt policy that is so killing . Unfortunately you got yours from a very bad guys. Only that Mike restricted himself from saying some things here for security purposes but believe me, it would have been worse. he will refund the 100k back to you I can assure you that. But pls and pls, always try to study who you are dealing with and try to work things out amicably before it blows out. I was the first person e told about the money you asked him to pick up and I told him just to be careful but he said you're one of his trusted clients until when he confirmed the money as not just fake but scam, I know you're unaware of it which he too knows but it was your response to him that actually got things bad. See sometimes you have to be a mumu to say, if not for the sake of your pride, but for the sake of your investment and business. He will refund your 100k and you can personally resolve other issue related to your business with him. best of luck. |

mavinc4u:did you hear from Mike before you made all this your conclusion. Yoruba has a saying "an elder that listen to one side of a story to give verdict is a wicked and useless elder". I don't know how you got yourself into this, but you got it all wrong. You'll soon reverse all this your verdict, let Mikky drop his own side. |
Investment / Re: How The Founder Of MMM Nigeria Mavrodi Was Found And Arrested For Fraud by tim26will: 9:21pm On Sep 16, 2016 |
jaybros: Why did they come to Nigeria alone. Read this. It's a matter of time. MMM was established in 1989 by Sergei Mavrodi,[2] his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi, and Olga Melnikova. The name of the company was taken from the first letters of the three founders' surnames. Initially, the company imported computers and office equipment. In January 1992, tax police accused MMM of tax evasion, leading to the collapse of MMM-bank, and causing the company to have difficulty obtaining financing to support its operations. Faced with difficulties in funding its foreign trade, the company switched to the financial sector. It offered American stocks to Russian investors, but met with little success. Later, MMM-Invest was created for the purpose of collecting vouchers during privatisation. This effort was similarly unsuccessful.[citation needed] MMM created its successful Ponzi scheme in 1994. The company started attracting money from private investors, promising annual returns of up to one thousand percent. It is unclear whether a Ponzi scheme was Mavrodi's initial intention, inasmuch as such extravagant returns might have been possible during the Russian hyperinflation in such commerce as import-export.[citation needed] MMM grew rapidly. In February 1994, the company reported dividends of 1,000%, and started an aggressive TV ad campaign. Since the shares were not quoted on any stock exchange and the company itself determined the share price, it maintained a steady price growth of thousands of percent annually, leading the public to believe its shares were a safe and profitable investment.[citation needed] An important factor in the scheme's success was word of mouth, but most of the company's success came from its extremely aggressive ad campaign, which appealed to the general public by using "ordinary" characters that viewers could identify with. The most famous of them, a "folk hero" of early 1994, was Lyonya Golubkov. Another notable marketing effort was a giveaway of free Metro trips to all Moscow citizens on a particular day. MMM also was one of the first well-known companies in Russia with a logotype and slogans ("Flying from shadow to the light" and others).[citation needed] At its peak the company was taking in more than 100 billion rubles (about 50 million USD) each day from the sale of its shares to the public. Thus, the cashflow turnover at the MMM central office in Moscow was so high that it could not be estimated. The management started to count money in roomfuls (1 roomful of money, 2 roomfuls of money, etc.).[citation needed] Regular publication in the media of the rising MMM share price led President Boris Yeltsin to issue a decree in June 1994 prohibiting financial institutions from publicising their expected income.[citation needed] The success of MMM in attracting investors led to the creation of other similar companies, including Tibet, Chara, Khoper-Invest, Selenga, Telemarket, and Germes. All of these companies were characterised by aggressive television advertising and extremely high promised rates of return. One company promised annual returns of 30,000%.[citation needed] On July 22, 1994, the police closed the offices of MMM for tax evasion. For a few days the company attempted to continue the scheme, but soon ceased operations. At that point, Invest-Consulting, one of the company's subsidiaries, owed more than 50 billion rubles in taxes (USD 26 million), and MMM itself owed between 100 billion and 3 trillion rubles to the investors (from USD 50 million to USD 1.5 billion). In the aftermath at least 50 investors, having lost all of their money, committed suicide.[citation needed] Several organisations of "deceived investors" made efforts to recover their lost investments, but Sergei Mavrodi manipulated their indignation and directed it at the government. In August 1994 Mavrodi was arrested for tax evasion. However, he was soon elected to the Russian State Duma, with the support of the "deceived investors". He argued that the government, not MMM, was responsible for people losing their money, and promised to initiate a pay-back program. The amount ultimately paid back was minuscule compared to the amount owed.[citation needed] In October 1995, the Duma cancelled Mavrodi's right to immunity as a deputy. In 1996, he tried to run for Russia's presidency, but most of the signatures he received were rejected. MMM declared bankruptcy on September 22, 1997.[citation needed] While it was believed that Sergei Mavrodi left Russia and moved to the United States, it is possible that he stayed in Moscow, using his money to change apartments regularly and employ a group of former special agents. With the help of a distant relative he started Stock Generation Ltd., another pyramid scheme based around trading non-existent companies' stocks in a form of the "stock exchange game" on the company's site, stockgeneration.com. Despite a bold-letter warning on the main page that the site was not a real stock exchange, between 20,000 and 275,000 people, according to various estimates, fell for the promised 200% returns and lost their money. According to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, losses of victims were at least USD 5.5 million.[citation needed] Mavrodi was found and arrested in 2003. While in custody, Mavrodi was given until January 31, 2006 to read the documents in his fraud case against him (The criminal case consisted of 650 volumes, each 250-270 pages long).[citation needed] At the end of April 2007, Mavrodi was convicted of fraud, and given a sentence of four and a half years. Since he had already spent over four years in custody, he was released less than a month later, on May 22, 2007.[citation needed] He later went on to creating yet another pyramid scheme called MMM-2011. The MMM scandal led to increased regulation of the Russian stock market, but the legacy of the fraud led many to become extremely suspicious of any joint stock companies. In 2015 MMM began operating in South Africa with the same business model as MMM-2011, claiming a "30% per month" return through a "social financial network".[3] The group was identified as a possible pyramid scheme by the National Consumer Commission and accounts of clients were later frozen by Capitec Bank.[4] In response to mounting criticism and official investigations by state authorities in 2016 supporters of the South African MMM scheme staged a protest march in Johannesburg.[5] In 2016, MMM launched a website targeting the Nigerian audience.[6] In January 2016 the Chinese government banned MMM on the grounds that it is a pyramid scheme, (Ponzi scheme), and it is not registered in the country (and as a fraudulent scheme cannot be registered).[7] See also |

ozor1:Why are you bothering yourself, if a man has not lost anything, he won't know how to keep the ones he has, by the way, how will they learn if not by experience and not example. If you buy a replacement sprint phone, what do you expect, a clean esn? Probably they need to come down to Ikeja and see many bad esn spring samsung note 5 and 6 edge plus that are now waking radio or music player. Nobody is proving to know all but on this thread we try to encourage and advise ourselves to be careful of what you're buying, Oyinbo no be mumu. And it's not all that glitters on CL is gold ooooo. |

Computers / Re: What Are The Major Specs To Check In A Laptop When Getting One? by tim26will: 3:51pm On May 24, 2016 |
emyyd:Sir I'm sorry to say but your research is completely an amateur kind of research. One of the best in terms of strength and ruggedness is 2nd generation intel processor. From 4th generation upward are economically designed to increase their profitability. 1-3rd generation are removable processor which gives it more advantage than the later generation which are built onboard. Onboard processor are not strong nor rugged and it's vulnerable to heat up since it's sharing same panel and chips with the VGA. That is why brand new 2nd and 3rd generation intel laptop is always more expensive than the later compare to age. Try more on your research. I love your write up though |
