MMM Risks and How To Mitigate The Risk

Always participate with your spare money. Spare money is the money that you have handy now but you don't need for any immediate purposes. We live in the world of risk so risk taking is part of our day to day activities. So no risk no reward. Why members are encouraged to participate we there spare money is because of the risk involved. What's MMM greatest risk? MMM greatest risk is that there might be no one to pay you when you want to get help. How can this risk happen? It occurs the day members stop providing help both new and old. MMM Nigeria kick-started in November 2015, while the global MMM started since 2011 in Russia now spread across many countries. MMM has been paying Nigerian citizenry since   Nov 2015 and still paying helping people augment their income. The continuity of MMM Nigeria is by the actions and inactions of its members. Once we do our part through regular PH-GH-PH-GH-PH, MMM Nigeria will always stand and will continue helping her members. Whe

Some Nigerian Churches and How They Confuse First Timers Just For Fun

Anglican Churches. They are sometimes so boring you would want to lie on the pew and sleep off. But when you meet the lively ones, you just have fun. Confusion sets in during the chanting of canticles. You will keep looking like, "oh damn! What am I gonna say now?" And if you are not from a hymn singing church, you will do a lot of moping. Catholic Churches. Boring as hell. If you are lucky to meet the choir's song, you will have fun. They sing well. Confusion sets in from the beginning to the end. The standing and sitting and then standing again. Then the Latin! You go confuse finally. If care is not taken, you go think na only reading them do, you no go know say Sermons don happen. Christ Embassy. Errmm these one. No dulling moments o. There is always singing and dancing and shouting. You will just love them. Confusion however sets in when the preaching starts and you see people dropping their shoes and their phones at the altar. No matter how much it fascin

When People Lose Their Commonsense Husband have to Be Taller Than The Wife

All this talk about the husband having to be taller than the wife in pictures, the arguments for and against, are interesting. My husband is slightly taller than I am. When I go on heels, we're about the same height. A friend of mine is taller than her husband, and they are happy with their heights like that. I had never liked guys I was taller than. I was attracted to only men I could stare up at. Who wants to be looking down at their man? Biko, not my thing. There was no way I could have fallen in love with a shorter guy. And this is no fault of theirs. It's just me. Same way I feel everyone should be left with their choices of what they want. If a lady falls in love with a short guy and in pictures they want to depict that the guy is taller, whose business? If they feel it makes for a representation of the perfect couple pose, then by all means, let them enjoy. Even photographers have the prerogative to follow this narrative. I don't think it in any way means th

The Bible on Our Phones, Laptops and IPad Is Not The Real Bible

Please, if you know how I can reach Moses, the one who led the Israelites out of Egypt, inbox me. I need to get the original tablets of the Ten Commandments from him. You see, this brother just opened my eyes to some certain facts. He said the Bible on our phones, laptops and IPad is not the real real Bible. That it is an €vil strategy from the de€vil to make Christians lazy. How could we have reduced the Word of God to a game by making it an app? Tufiakwa. He asked everyone without a hard copy to stand. And keep standing. You are in Nigeria where your bible is tolerated that's why you won't read from your phone. Go to Iran and see if you won't change that topic. What is wrong with us? The one you called original bible now, used to be fake, because it was translated from Hebrew to English. Let's go back to Hebrew language if we want to be original. Me? I've taken this very personal. I'm not just going to stand. I'm leaving the meeting entirely. Plea

Lai Mohamed: War Between Nigerians and Ghanaians

I really pity Minister Lai Mohammed. He, like most old people, is usually out touch with the realities of our times. And he, like most of them never goes on social media to know that there has been a war going on on internet between Nigerians and Ghanaians for some years now over who makes, of all things, the best Jollof Rice. Not football and music anymore. We seemed to have given up on that. We now compete not on who has the best technology, makes the best schools, produce the most number professors, has the best scientists, buildings, makes the best cars, phones, motorcycles etc, but Jollof Rice. We are both determined to prove our cultural superiority with that one menu. It is the only one that is not proven yet. Then Lai Mohammed happened, and on CNN of all networks. That lack of knowledge and of been out of touch with what goes on today is the reason why he put our dear Jollof rice down on international TV, that while we and Ghana fight for first place, it is Senegal that

MMM Released Some Percentage of Our 2016 Mavro Without New Members

MMM is not a product, it is not a bank non sell a product. It does not invest our money in any business whatsoever. Let us ask ourselves....where is the 30% coming from? It is from you and me. But when the volume of not yet released mavro in the system cannot be paid of with current PH, the best option would be that we bring in new members. when you recruit new members, you enjoy lot of gains and also contribute to the sustainability of the system. To those guys saying 2016 mavro, I believe you guys are not seeing it from the right angle. Reason is MMM will work for *sustainability first* before anything. If the programmers are going to release 2016 mavro, it will be based on percentage. However, that percentage will be determined on our PH inflow. And which ever way, it is going to take sometimes before it can be paid completely. Also, MMM recruited promoters some months ago. We have both online and offline promoters are they are been paid salaries until they were disbanded beca

If Buhari Is Seriously Sick Let Him Resign and Attend to His Health

If Baba is as SICK as is reported, then he should STEP-ASIDE or simply RESIGN. There is just no better way to put it. If Baba is seriously sick, let him step aside and attend to his health. We don't want some clowns to hold the entire country to ransom like they did with President Umaru Musa Yaradu'a. The man is right here in Nigeria, and in Aso Rock, but he has failed to lead all of the last 3 sessions of the FEC meetings which holding just a couple of 100s meters away from his bedroom? No, that can't be right. If it means that he will go back to his doctors for treatment, then let him do that. In fact, if it means resigning from office let him do just that. Our people say, "you are more useful to a society only when you are alive than d€ad". I know what they fear but to me it's just a simple arrangement that will resolve that. An understanding that he can waive the transition to Osibanjo on another doctrine of necessity and nominate an elected Gove

Why Average Nigerian Man Wants to Settle With a Woman They Can Control

Whenever I write that the average Nigerian man wants to settle with a woman that they can control, I get accused of generalization. But that is a fact that stares us in the face. A truth many of us would rather no one voices. I have lived almost 30 years on earth, and I have had reasons to interact with men, a vast majority of whom are Nigerians. I understand their thought processes, and I understand the damage that has been done to them during the processes of their upbringing. I woke up this morning to another shocker. Well, not so shocked. A man with the name Chikezie Ifechukwu advocating and urging men into what seemed to me like ped. Asking them to go for underaged women, all to what end? They are naive and easier to control. I still can't get my head around the compulsive urge that makes any sane person crave to control another human being. I simply do not get it. The past generations raised generations with serious malfunction. A generation where many men think thei

Guard Your Head Don't Allow Pastors, Reverence or Prophets Touch It

Guard your head. Don't allow people touch it. Be them pastors, reverends or prophets. If you're not convinced in your heart, never submit yourself for laying of hands. Never! People transfer all sorts of rubbish from their lives, into the lives of others through that single means." This were my father's words, every morning to me. He also advised my siblings individually too. Then, every morning before our school bus arrived, Popsy will place his hands on our heads and pray for us. According to him there was nothing as strong as the prayers/blessings of a father on his kids. Despite the fact that we attended a christian primary school, where prayers, fasting, anointing services and bible study were part of the time table, we avoided queueing up with other kids for anointing. But one day, I and my nonsense sister Betty fell prey. Our proprietress invited our neighbour- Apostle Samson, who was then a General overseer of One Faith Ministries, to come to our schoo

Who Is a Feminist and What Does Feminine Mean

Two Phrases That Twist My Mind 1. "We do not need feminism, we need femininity." 2. "I am feminine and not feminist'. Actually saw this one as a hashtag @femininenotfeminist. Lolzz. Friends, you can be feminine and feminist. You can be masculine and feminist. You can even be feline or saline and still be feminist. The above two words are not opposite - and to avoid making this a very bogus philosophical conversation filled with many high sounding terms and words, I'll attempt to simplify everything. A. Who is a feminist? A person who believes that men and women should have equal rights, legally, economically, socially, politically and all round. B. What does feminine mean? A person of 'any gender' who likes 'stereotypical' female things or characteristics associated generally with a 'female'. And what is feminine differs from person to person (culture to culture etc). For some, feminine means all things pink, fluffy, delicate

Npower Today's Report Challenges Issue Of Payment

Sorry for coming late, today's report. One of the N-POWER official Mr. Afolabi  he first of all apologies to us that this is not how they intended to work. He address us on the challenges we are facing. We raise the issue of payment. He replied us that payment should not be our first paority that payment suppose to be last that we are having the issue of deployment that non of us has been deployed and we are not suppose to be receiving any stipend now. And they should have withdraw the money from us but they don't do it that way. He said those that have been receiving money, have they started  working  for the money? He said those that have been having payment issue they should start sending message to Support@npvn.desk-mail.com and support @npvn.ng.That the payment issue will be resolve online. Blank issue: He said he has already aware of it that there's an issue of computation of human error, that no one would hindered anyone progress. He said is not only Lagos

I Just Read Emir Sanusi's Response To The His Critics

I just read Emir Sanusi's response to the his critics, especially the allegations against him from the state government. This is how you respond to your critics: measured, punchy, accessible, and witty. However, as I was reading the response, having followed the opinions supporting and opposing the emir's foray into the realm of public commentary and political critique, it occurred to me that there is an underlying issue that needs to be resolved in Northern Nigeria, nay all of Nigeria. What role, if any, do we want our emirs to play in public life? Do we want them to vacate the public sphere, suspend their critical thinking faculties and professional competences, and censor themselves? Do we want them to be seen and not heard, and to subordinate their voices to the ceremonial and customary demands of their offices? We seem not have made up our minds. There is no consensus. Some support a robust, vocal emirship; others do not and consider it a violation of the tenets of

MMM Update On How to Start Paying 2016 Mavros

All MMM Guiders and MMM Admin had Meeting yesterday Night, and one of the Major Key Point is "HOW TO START PAYING 2016 Mavros, WITHOUT IT UNDERMINING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY".... Some Suggestions were Made, but the One that Mr Adrew Suggested is this: *GIVING 10% OF WHATEVER AMOUNT ANYONE PHed, FROM HIS/HER 2016 MAVROS* He gave an instance that, that was what MMM China did, before they came out of their own quagmire. What his Suggestion Meant is: Whatever amount that you PHed, 10% of it will be given to you from ur outstanding 2016... Meaning, lets say Gerald PHed #100,000, And apart from the #30,000 Bonus of 2017 that he will GH, 10% 0f the #100,000 which is #10,000 (From his 2016 Mavros), will also be Added for him to GH alongside... Although, some Guiders Suggesting that Participants should be able to GH x3 of whatever amount they PH... Meaning, if Gerald PHes #100,000, he should be able to GH x3 of the amount from his 2016 Mavros.... And x3 of it is

All Most Nigerian Man Is An Idiot?

So, one girl like that makes a refund of money spent on her and now, every Even girls who were trained in school by their boyfriends and husbands are joining in the name calling. Look, that one guy asks for a refund or plays childish doesn't mean that we all stupid. Just so you know, remember that men have been spending on women all their lives and rarely have we heard stories of men asking for refund. How about we appreciate them for their effort in emancipation of women? Look, Onitsha main market is full of young men hustling to train their sisters, girlfriends, wives, in school. Nkpọr junction is littered with Keke drivers from Ebonyi, hustling to train their wives in school. And they're not asking for refunds. They're doing it out of genuine love. How about we talk about such men? But, instead, we're talking about one man's mistake and making it sound like all men are idiots. And you, 'progressive,' young man who thinks all men are chauvinists a

What I See Everywhere Are Single Fathers Why

My dear men, why are you becoming less and less virtuous? Why do you opt for divorce at every little offence? So many of these divorced men come up with excuses such as; my wife was cheating on me, she was v!iolent, she was this that and bla bla bla... so what? If you divorce her now, do you know the type of woman you would meet next? Remember a bird at hand is worth a million out there. Women are like babies, just pick anyone and manage her. Listen let me tell you infidels, Malachi 2:16 'I hate divorce' thus said the Lord of host. Even if your wife beats you up and cheats on you like you don't have a p€n!is, all you need do is go on your kneels and pray, cry onto the Lord in prayers, just keep fasting and also watch war room. Some of you are even lucky these women do not bring these men home, that's to show you she RESPECTS you. But, why should you complain about her che€ating if she still does her wifely duties? It is damn boring to keep eating egusi soup. We

It's A Crime Against Humanity For Two Short People to Procreate

I quiver a little whenever I see two short people dating, married or in any other type of relationship that has the possibility of procreation. Yesterday at work, this couple came into my work place to make an order, and I couldn't help noticing their heights. To make matters worse, she was heavily pr£*gna*nt, and I couldn't help thinking "poor child didn’t ask to be born so *vertically challenged*". Nothing against short guys but the ONLY physical attribute I consider in a potential boyfriend/husband is height, because considering I'm quite "down-to-earth", I need to help my unborn children’s ministry in life. I think it's a crime against humanity for two short people to procreate. Some people argue that height has more to do with childhood diet than hereditary, but I find it very difficult to believe that. No matter how much beans and egg a child eats, if the first and second generations of parents are all short, your chances of growing abou

Important Info On Npower Beneficiaries Contribution

With some questions many people raising regarding the contribution, it is important we enlighten everyone on the usefulness of the money. The reps met and discussed on the way forward after the two years of this program, we therefore concluded on organizing a program that will involve Governor, all NOA's focal person, WAPA commissioners and some Lagos state members house of assembly. The essence of inviting this dignitaries is to ask them the possible permanent employment after this program and to know what plan Lagos state government has for us. We need to work together to make this a reality we can't do that without the effort of all Lagos N-power beneficiaries. This was what prompt us to ask everyone to voluntarily donate 200 naira and above to make this program reality. We also need orientation as far as this program is concern and this will cut across all arms of the program (N-teach, N-health, N-community and N-agro) With this plan on ground, we need the cooperatio

I Feel So Proud To Be Woman

Nigerians have the knack of making one regret even the good things they do. Since I helped raise tuition fees for a law school student, my inbox has been flooded with people (mostly non-friends) who also want me to help them solicit for funds for various purposes. In fact, one lady told me categorically that she was told that I'm the person to seek when trying to raise funds. I don't know when I ever added "soliciting for funds" to my job description here. The cases I have been involved in were few and far between and it was because I really feel horrible when I can't help people. I DO NOT enjoy begging. I believe that I have never brought my personal financial problems here for anyone to help me out because I'm a very proud woman. Secondly, I'm trying my best to stay out of any possible scandal. Most people here do not know that I own a charity organization because the one and only time I came on Twitter to solicit for funds for  Jlikeconcept some

Extremely Important to All Npower Lagos Beneficiaries

It's a clear reason why you have not been paid, the computer system is what is doing the comparison and not human, your first name on npower site should be your first name on your bvn and so on. Some sent an email to them concerning this nonpayment and they replied that my profile corresponds with my bank details... That I should exercise patiene that I will get the stipend soon. So after the successful unpaid verified corrected list sent to Abuja for processing, lots of issues spring up, issues such as 1. I have been posted but wasn't paid 2. I was paid but not posted 3. I have not been paid, not been posted and name not on the invalid list 4. I was paid February stipend but I've not receive March stipend 5. I missed the verification exercise. With all these issues on ground, the meeting we had with the focal person today has actually answer all the above challenges. May I say at this point that no one can be said to be disqualify until you see the proof.

Vice President Has Ordered The Immediate Payment of All Areas Owed to Npower

1. The Vice-President has ordered the immediate payment of all areas owed to Npower beneficiaries nationwide. He states, "the Npower employment scheme is the heartbeat of this administration positioned and committed in reducing unemployment of graduate in the country." 2. Npower administrators are trying to sort out issues of unpaid beneficiaries nationwide. The effort has been concluded in state such as Ekiti, Osun, Oyo and Edo, but commenced today in Lagos. 3. Npower uploading of ID card and passport was a routine test run on the portal; the site will official be opened for the uploading of this two important items. 4. Redemployment of beneficiaries will commenced after posting and it will be based on health and marital grounds. 5. Npower sites will also be re-opened very soon for beneficiaries to select their device. Distribution of device will however commenced nation-wide by next week. I discovered just now that someone is calling Npower beneficIaries for the

Stop Making People Slaves We Are All Going To Die

So you helped someone in life with one thing or the other and somehow you now demand ETERNAL gratitude from them? Because you helped someone with school fees, they have to call you twice a week with a vote of thanks. They also have to tell you every single thing about their academic lives. Like when a lecturer's wife gives birth, or when the VC fi!ghts with his wife? You help someone with part of the capital to start up his business and now you are like a shareholder. You stroll in and supervise and select who should be employed or not. You buy things and expect not to pay. Helper. Weh done. You invite your girl friend to a birthday where she finds a soul m@ate. Now, because she won't tell you his favorite drink and details of their relationship, you feel betrayed. Really? Oya listen. Help people and move on.Most people are ungrateful. They won't show a smidgen of gratitude. Yes. But what of the others who have really shown you how happy they are with your help?

Watch Amazing Voice Just Having So Much Fun

If you read meanings into this great amazing song, you are strictly on your own.  Right now, I'm just having so much fun!!! Home sweet home! My friends do ask me when I will release  some of my songs  or to join record label but am telling you guys soon the melody voice will be on air sooner or later.

Do Not Judge People Based On Your Morality BBN Is a Brand, Independent Government Funding

So the old, "best graduating student gets a paltry sum of money while the winner of big brother Nigeria gets 25million naira" talk has resurfaced again and someone even said the government should not talk about fi!ghting corru*ption when things like this are happening. First, Big brother is a brand, independent of government funding, so wetin concern them now? Second, I really don't get this continuous attempt to give people incentive to study. Like I don't understand it one bit. I mean, if you even drew comparison between academic contests and big brother Nigeria, I might even start to understand but really? Best graduating student? People should now be paid on top of the education that they are getting, or they should be paid for their chewing and pouring ability, after all na still talent na? Shebi University is just a reality show that goes on for years na? I know we are trying to encourage education and all that, which in my opinion some of you aren'

Any Woman Who Has A Child Is Just a Mother

Many people momentarily make me sad but there is this kind that takes the crown. Sometimes we say share or post things with either good intentions or without knowing how ugly it is to others. I do that sometimes and If my intentions were right, I believe in my opinion and that's my stand... I'll stand by it but I'll present facts, examples even citations if need be and see if we can meet halfway. I can only get na@sty if you decide to atta*ck me as a person and affront me like one small tried to do in unfitting big girl p@nties on Sunday. Anyway, if I say or do something that annoys a multitude of people (which I've never done. Mostly it's misogynistic, narrow-minded, religious fanatics and shames who come after me and I can handle you on any day, trust me)... Let's go on, shall we? If I annoy multitudes, espe cially in a shaming way...the same thing you and I (if you do that) should do is (a)     Tuck our balls out of vicinity and apologize, (b)    (

Who Is Igbo; My Own Non-Igbo Experience

My friend Nkechi reminds me of my own non-Igbo experience... Back when I was growing up, born, bred and buttered in Imo State, I didn't know I was Igbo. You see, then I identified people based on where they were from. I am from Omamma. My then neighbors from Ikeduru, Mbaise, Ngwa etc. From my grandmother, I learned there were two different kinds of people - those who migrated and came to settle in what was now their village (us), and those who had always been in the same place all their days (not us). I used to have such fantasies of having migrated from all the oyibo people I saw on TV. Anyway, in Primary school social studies, I learned about being Igbo. Also learned about Hausas and Yoruba. But they were "the others" - beings you heard of but hardly ever saw. I was in Uni when I met my first it-sekiri person - to be honest, I didn't even know there were such as thing as that! That's how insular my life was. Then I met a different kind of people - those

The First Feminist I Ever Knew, Was My Dad.

I remember the day he came home with two toy cars. One was pink, and the other red. My brother picked the pink one. He loved it. I took the red one. It was cool too. With a look of satisfaction, Dad went to his room. My mom came home. She noticed our new properties. She wasn't comfortable with the choices we'd made. So she ordered my brother to collect the red one from me and give me the pink... Reason; He is a boy. Pink was a girly color. There was no way in the world her son was gonna use a pink toy when a red one was available. My brother broke down in tears. I joined him too. As a matter of fact, I couldn't let go of the red one. I hated the pink toy as well. We wailed like young widows until Dad came out of the room. He was startled to see us drenched in tears... When we explained, he couldn't believe his ears. He then apologized on behalf of his wife and told us to keep our toys. According to him, color Na color. Dad taught us freedom of choice irrespect

If You Don't Have School Fees to Pay, Stop For a Few Years And Join The Labour Force

To the millennial woman in 2017... If you do not have school fees to pay, stop school for a few years and join the labour force. Get paid employment, get experience that can be sold. Save your pennies, then go back to school. If the Nigerian educational institution stands in your way of a flexible life, then bring that issue to this platform... Let us question why Nigeria should make organised schooling a full-time job. Heck, learn a trade and make money from it. Place a table in the open market and see what it must feel like to sell crayfish, palm oil, plantain. Find a poultry and sell eggs. Education is a life-long pursuit, if circumstances prove tough then let schooling wait while you discover your world and what your hands can do. Because you cannot sustain an attitude of loans and financial help from random people. Random soliciting is not what should define the years of your youth. It is a blessing to be young, not a curse. It is the moment to touch the sky, to take risk

Some Wickedness Elements Have Hijacked The Federal Government Policies Npower

It is widely cleared and apparent that some people or wickedness elements have hijacked the federal government policies because since the payment is now randomly then some verified and confirmed n-powerites will not be paid, can you imagine that? Recently few people smile while majority frown and unhappy today, does it show equity and justice? Hmm! It is obviously cleared and apparent that most people and wicked elements have already hijacked the federal government because since the payment is almost randomly as it stands now some were verified and confirmed while some ain't... We, n-powerites will not be paid am seriously considering their plans towards us. Hmmm... it's really appalling the way this program is being handled this time. It's surprising that in the same state where some persons have been paid up to 4 times, some are yet to receive once. A friend of mine received first alert yesterday evening who has not received at all now tell me has his name just
