Lordsocrates:
Even whn the guy called his dog ur name, couldn't u hv small sense to learn from what that happened across the world whn sum1 did a cartoon On Mohammed ?

The thing Igbo people dnt know is that with the life they live, they risk Other Ethnicity killing them on no just cause.
In South Africa the drug has led to Xenophobic attacks
In Lagos the want to be kings in another mans kingdom
In Oron here in AkwaIbom State an Igbo man Wants to be the Market chief.
In the north an igbo man wantz to name his dog Mohammed, knowing that just a cartoon of Mohammed resulted in a huge crisis.

Cant you guys respect other people, their religion, culture, traditions and cultures...is that too much to do ?

hope they will understand. Some times u have to play d fool to get on. Reacting over everythin with equal proportion can be a distraction on ur cause and course

dljbd1:
my dear...even recession cannot stop us from sex-ing

it is nt that those countries dnt have sex but they practice birth control and self control

Olusharp:
These might sound ridiculous, but there are countries where citizens are being begged to have sex by the Government.

1. Denmark.

The Danes have such a low fertility rate (around 1.73 children per woman) that a national travel company has come up with a series of bribes to get women to have more kids.


2. Russia.

According to Tech Insider, Russia is experiencing a shitstorm of anti-baby factors. HIV and alcoholism are rife, women aren’t having kids and men are dying young.

It all got so bad that in 2007, the government declared 12 September the official Day of Conception. where people get the day off for making babies.

Women who give birth exactly nine months later – on 12 June, win a fridge.


3. Japan.

We know that Japan is experiencing something of a dry spell. A 2011 survey found that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women aged 18-34 weren’t in any kind of romantic relationship.

To try and get their young people creating families, scientists came up with Yotaro – a robot baby designed to give people a preview of parenthood. Students at the University of Tsukuba theorised that if young people could see themselves as potential mothers and fathers, they’d be more emotionally ready to settle down.

4. Romania

During communist times, if you weren’t providing future state labourers by having kids, you had to pay instead. There was a 20% income tax for childless couples, and in the 1980s, women were forced to take gynaecological exams to ensure that all pregnancies went to term.

Today, the fertility rate is still rock bottom.


5. Singapore

Singapore has the lowest fertility rate in the world, with just 0.81 children per woman.
They’ve also placed a limit on the number of small one beds available to rent to encourage cohabitation, and the government reportedly spends around $1.6 billion on various programmes to get people to have more sex.giphy

In fact, the government offers cash to people who have more than one child. Parents receive a ‘baby bonus’ of around $4,400 (£2,545) for their first two kids and $5,900 (£3,413) for their third and fourth.

6. South Korea

Offices turn off their lights at 7 pm on the third Wednesday of every month – AKA Family Day. Workers are encouraged to get themselves home so that they can enjoy some lights-out action.


7. India

While the general population of India is thriving, their Parsis community is slowly dwindling. And that’s lead to a number of questionable ads encouraging people to ‘Be responsible – don’t use a condom tonight’.

Other campaigns have shamed men living at home with lines like ‘Isn’t it time you broke up with your mum?’

Brutal but effective – there were just 61,000Parsis living in the country in 2001, and at the last census, there were 69,000.


8. Italy

You wouldn’t think somewhere as passionate as Italy would have a sex drought, but their fertility rate is below the European average.

So, the Italy has started running campaigns to remind Italians that time stands still for no (wo)man.

Lines include: ‘Beauty knows no age, fertility does,’ and ‘Get going! Don’t wait for the stork’.


9. Hong Kong

Inspired by Singapour, Hong Kong started giving out cash to couples to try and encourage them to have kids.

Alas, the plan never quite took off.


10. Spain

https://i1.wp.com/www.icloudupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Edelmira-Barreira.jpg?fit=800%2C690Minister for Sex appointed in Spain

As employment rates are rising, fertility rates are dropping. Half of young people are out of work. And to combat the trend, the Spanish government have hired a special commissioner to try and reverse them.

In recent times, much have been said of Ponzi Scheme due to MMM Nigeria crashing in the face of economy recession. But truth be told, I don't feel sorry for victims of Ponzi scheme just as I won't feel sorry for someone who lost money to gamble or "Baba Ijebu." In my own opinion, those who falls victims of Ponzi scheme are driven by greed or laziness. Before I buttress that point, it is important to note that Ponzi scheme is not new as some people will want you to believe. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi, who became notorious for using the technique in 1920.

Why Ponzi Scheme Victims Are Driven By Greed
Normally, as an investor, before you put your money into any business, you should do some research. Just head over to Google and type the phrase "Ponzi scheme". The Wikipedia definition is glaring and give a whole picture of what the scheme is all about. Except: "Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a non-existent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors." It is referred to as "a classic Ponzi scheme built on treachery and lies".

https://jetroolowole.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/what-is-ponzi-scheme.png

Initially the promoter will pay out high returns to attract more investors, and to lure current investors into putting in additional money. Other investors begin to participate, leading to a cascade effect. The "return" to the initial investors is paid out of the investments of new entrants, rather than solely from profits.

Often the high returns encourage investors to leave their money in the scheme, with the result that the promoter does not have to pay out very much to investors; he simply has to send them statements showing how much they have earned. This maintains the deception that the scheme is an investment with high returns.

Ponzi schemes rely on new investors to pay existing investors which make them ultimately unreliable since it cannot continue attracting new investors forever in the required numbers and rates (numbers which actually escalate at exponential rates with every new level of recruitment). Even if the whole population gets recruited (impossible as some are unwilling and some will even actively resist it and convince others not to join, just as its impossible for everyone to join a political party and there is always an opposition), this shows there is a limit beyond which no further recruitment is possible or recruitment begins to slow down sharply enough to cripple the scheme's paying ability. Therefore the scheme is ultimately doomed to fail and it is only a matter of when, not if.

MMM Case Study
МММ was a Russian company that perpetrated one of the world's largest Ponzi schemes of all time, in the 1990s. By different estimates from 5 to 40 million people lost up to $10 billion. The exact figures are not known even to the founders. In 2011, MMM re-opened as "MMM Global" with up to 110 subsidiaries per country, it became widely popular in various African countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya.

The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC, has said that an ‎estimated three million Nigerians lost N18 billion in the MavrodiMundial Movement, MMM, ponzi scheme.

Over three million Nigerians were participating in MMM (A.K.A. Mugu, Mowo wa, Ma lo) before December 2016 when organizers suspended payment to investors due to its system “experiencing heavy workload.”

By the time the scheme returned in January, few new investors joined and the millions waiting for their payments were left disappointed with majority never paid.

At the 38th Kaduna International Trade Fair on Thursday, Mr. Ibrahim noted that despite repeated warnings by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and other agencies like the anti-graft EFCC, Nigerians still patronized the ponzi scheme.

When you are presented with this type of facts and you still go ahead to invest your money, what would have been the drive if not greed?

Why Ponzi Scheme Victims Are Driven By Laziness
Ponzi Scheme like direct sales depends on the ability of members to recruit new investors. While direct sales involves some level of selling, ponzi scheme does not. The idea of just put in your money and 'no work is involved' is what attracted many lazy people to the scheme. If you present the direct sales business opportunity to most of these persons, they will not want to be part of it because it involve some level of hard work.

Direct selling is the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location. ... Modern direct selling includes sales made through the party plan, one-on-one demonstrations, and other personal contact arrangements as well as internet sales. Direct selling consists of two main business models: single-level marketing, in which a direct seller makes money by buying products from a parent organization and selling them directly to customers, and multi-level marketing (also known as network marketing or person-to-person marketing), in which the direct seller may earn money from both direct sales to customers and by sponsoring new direct sellers and potentially earning a commission from their efforts.

I wrote an article Top 10 Factors to Choose a Great Network Marketing Opportunity in Nigeria before. One of the points I raised there to look out for is Does the network marketing company offer products or services that are unique? Ponzi scheme does not have any product to sell hence the scheme is bound to fail. History has taught us from time to time that any investment business that rely only on new investors to survive without products can not stand the test of time. But because many people are looking for the lazy root, they still fall victims of these schemes. That is why, many of the scheme members target their family and friends for recruitment.

Besides, in recent times, I have been receiving a lot of offers from Nigerians who want to design ponzi scheme sites. When I look at these individuals they don't have any direction or purpose, they just want to use the system to siphoned money. Of course my agency does not design any site intended for fraud purpose. So, most of the victims are driven by laziness.

Final Thought
I may be tempted to sympathize with those who are caught unaware due to lack of experience or trust in the referee but I don't feel sorry for the victims because they were driven by greed and laziness. Present them with opportunity they need to work on, they will back off. So, over to you, do you agree with me that Ponzi scheme victims are driven by greed and laziness?

ur assertions are only half truth. There is a saying dat when d desired is not available d available may become acceptable. There are some hardworking chaps out there who do 9 to 9 in most cases under an opressive boss, who can hardly make ends meet with thier peanut salary amidst terifying inflation, whom doesnt have d time or access to a loan facility by a bank in nigeria , dis is d only option they have. U can never preach jack to them because u dnt share in their headache.. The other legite investment vehicle u could think of for an ordinary person is not ecouraging. Is it d banks? Or stocks? Having said all dis, that is not to say that am in suport or believe in d indiscriminate proliferation of ponzi schemes which lately has become an all comers affair. Crowd funding is not bad. Even in in some offices group of workers gather to do ajo.

The reason is this.........
-Most holders bought around 1.50.
-They have been waiting to do 200% and above.
-More than 50% of the holders have achieved that purpose.
-The remaining holders who bought from those selling now have to summon courage as their predecessors did.
-The good thing is that this company grows their bottom line from Qtr to Qtr and from yr to yr.
-Remember it is those ogas offloading now that will drive the price again
-Millionaires are created everyday in the stock market.
