WHY BLAME MMM?
Before you mock anybody for investing in MMM, think about this.
I invested all my Savings from NYSC in Savanah Bank, The Bank Packed up and left me with Nothing. I bought 10,000 shares in Transcorp when Obasanjo and "Madam Stock Exchange" initially sold the fraud to Nigerians but up till today, no shares were allocated to me and my money was not refunded. AIT sold shares to Nigerians to pay back his bank debts, how many Nigerians have gotten a dime from that investments? I remember my then employer deducting money from my wages and paying into government owned Housing Fund and also into the National Pension Fund, the 2 bodies were dissolved and my money dissolved with it. My Father and millions of Nigerians also paid into the same funds for more than 30 years and nothing came out of it, 2.5% of your salary goes into NHF monthly yet you still don't own a house of your own. What your father did, you're doing, and your children may do.
Some state governments are owing their workers up to 1 year wages, the federal government and some parastatals are not different.
My father-in-law gave his life to NTA as a photojournalist travelling all over the country to cover events. Many years after his death, his widow is still waiting for NTA to pay his entitlements.
Remember how government came up with idea of community banks and encouraged Nigerians to patronise them, remember Allied Bank, Lobi Bank, Abacus Bank, City Express Bank, Assurance Bank of Nigeria, Hallmark Bank Plc, Ivory Merchant Bank, Lead Merchant Bank, Metropolitan Bank, All States Trust Bank, Coop and Commerce Bank, Commerce Bank, Credite Bank, Pinnacle Commercial Bank, Kapital Merchant Bank, Ivory Merchant Bank, Prime Merchant Bank, Republic Bank, Eagle Bank Plc, Liberty Bank, Progress Bank, North South Bank, Pan African Bank; remember pensioners who had their money in Societe Generale, dont forget the traders whose lives were destroyed by Gulf Bank, and many more too numerous to mention. Should we blame these people for keeping their hard earned money in NDIC insured banks? Don’t ask me about NDIC please.
On a different scale, remember how many hours you spent at the polling booth to vote for Buhari, remember how we all campaigned vigorously to remove Jonathan and how many people you encouraged to vote for PMB. What has come out of it for us all? When zenith bank packed all life savings and gave to Fayose to forcefully remove Fayemi, what returns did you get from the deal? Your bankers were on live television prostrating for a customer like you, you laughed it off. They encourage you to go cashless so the smart rich guys can always have enough cash to maintain the title of the richest men in Africa. Your pastors and imams collect your tithe and offerings, take it to the bank, the following day, boko haram promoters walk into the same bank and collect holy money as loans to go kill many more souls, you weep for a while and then go back to donate more money, who is the real boko haram? You start churches in remote villages where they have no water, no road, no light, you collect the poor people’s money and take it to some rich general overseers in town to enjoy more life before going to heaven.
How about the money you worked hard for and contributed when your Churches /Mosques wanted to establish those private universities and now your children are excluded from the qualitative education they offer because you cannot afford the tuition fees ? What do you think about the money you pay to NEPA or whatever it is called now every month regardless of whether they supply you electricity or not or the banks charging you N4 to send you alert for N1.50k debit?
How are these compared to MMM?
I agree that some people are into MMM because of greed but most of those who participated in MMM did so because they have seen bigger scams in their lives and have been duped by many government and private backed schemes in the past. There is poverty in the land

Ponponkon:
Abia and Akwa ibom state governors asked for approval to jointly fix Ikot-ekpene road Aba but Minister of works Babatunde Raji Fashola did not grant the request. you're well aware that governor cannot just dabble into a federal road without the consent of federal government. FG rather approved of Abia and Rivers fixing Enugu Pot Harcourt express way. That's why you have noticed work ongoing there since 2weeks now

normrebel:
Afonjas will not like this, why always bia***?

With N400k, you can get a half plot of land at our estate, Grace Park and Garden, and still have some change to fence it at barifecrealtieslimiteddotcom

TheNewIbadan:
Lol Ibos are already frustrated with themselves. Fake vs Osu Ibos. Anambra vs Imo Ibos.

TheNewIbadan:
Lol from the same bitter and envious Ibos that go on Yoruba progress threads to display their inferiority complex. Same Osus that rejoice when Yorubaland is under attack.

TheNewIbadan:
Hahahaha

Slave
Coward
Akobata Hausa

Ipods, help me with more names jor.

When you need a good laugh in this country, just look at the ibo people.

They claim to have developed Lagos, Abuja and Indonesia, but the SE looks like the ghetto side of Borno state.

They want Biafra, but their leaders want more appointment in Nigeria's FG.

They hate Yorubas, but they can't stop moving to Yorubaland to live amongst Yorubas, learn Yoruba language and assimilate into Yoruba culture. Their music artist would rather sing in Yoruba.

I've never seen such confused set of people. Even more confused than boko harams who terrorize to get their 72 virgins in hell, but have condoms scattered all over their hideouts.

One major problem the igbos has is leadership, Okorocha is among the few ideal leaders the igbos has but as Jesus said a prophet is not honored in his own house.
