Is MMM a really safe and profitable income opportunity?


There is so much buzz these days about MMM, a new income opportunity in Nigeria that gives people 30% of their investment every 30 days and there have been so many questions, oppositions, testimonies and debates about the validity, profitability and legitimacy of MMM. If you have not already heard about MMM or would like to know more about it so as decided if it will be good for you, please read the information here carefully.

MMM is an income opportunity that has been available in over 180 countries for some time and has been in Nigeria for about 9 months now. MMM has over 200 million users worldwide and just over 300 thousand members in Nigeria as at the time of this post.

Just like several other opportunities that have come into Nigeria, we have to decide whether or not we should patronize such opportunities, especially when we have had bitter experiences in the past.

The problem most people have is the difficulty in identifying a viable opportunity and the laziness to do something about it immediately. It is important to note that when a person continues ignore opportunities, no matter how rich or wealthy the person is, eventually the person will become poor financially. Someone defined the state of being POOR as Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly.

As long as you keep ignoring opportunities for additional income, wealth creation and sustenance, you will eventually become poor because no matter how much money you have, if you don’t keep getting much more than you spend, the money will eventually finish. One thing we must realize is that expenses keep coming and have a greater probability to increase with time.

OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS FOR MMM

MMM has been in Nigeria for barely 1 year and so many people are asking question as to how viable and reliable it is. Well we will furnish you with the information we have found and give you our candid opinion.

A. OVERVIEW

MMM is is a community of ordinary people, selflessly helping each other, on the principle of gratuitousness, reciprocity and benevolence, a kind of the Global Fund of mutual aid. MMM is currently available in over 100 countries and has over 200 million registered users worldwide.
In MMM you don’t have to make contracts or pledge your property. In MMM there are no lenders and no debtors. Everything is very simple: one participant asks for help — another one helps.
The only thing that MMM demands from its participants is to be honest and kind to each other. You ask for financial help when you need it, you give financial help when you are able to do it.
MMM is not a bank, MMM does not collect your money, MMM is not an online business, HYIP, investment or MLM program. MMM is a community where people help each other. MMM gives you a technical platform which helps millions of participants worldwide to connect those who NEED help to those who are ready to PROVIDE help, for FREE. 

All transferred funds to another participant are your help given by your own good will to another one, absolutely gratis.

OTHER WAYS OF EARNING WITH MMM

1. REGISTRATION BONUS
When registering in the system, you get from $20 to $100 as a present.

2. REFERRAL BONUS
You get 10% from all deposits of the participant you invited.

3. GUIDER’S BONUS
Guiders of MMM Community can create their own multi-level structures and get a bonus from each donation of every participant in their structures.

4. BONUS FOR THE VIDEO IN THE TESTIMONIALS
Bonus for the video in a "Letter of happiness" is +10%, +5% or +1% of the amount of received help.

HOW MMM WORKS
After free registration, you declare the willingness to give help (click in your Personal Office (hereinafter PO) "Provide Help"), after which your account will be rewarded with mavro (internal “currency”/scores of the System). Mavros will start growing from the moment of offering the contribution at the rate of 30% per month. (Calculation of reward occurs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 00:00 GMT.) This sum in Mavro shows how much you can request for yourself.
Say you have announced willingness to assist with 10000 Naira. You will be rewarded in your PO with 10000 mavro. And they will immediately start growing! A month later, these 10000 will become 13000 mavro. Accordingly, you will be able to request assistance for 13000 Naira.

OUR CANDID OPINION
From our investigations, MMM is very new in Nigeria and is at a LOW RISK level. Several people including our Team members have made a fortune from investing in MMM and we feel that you can do same if you join today.

We know that the best time to Join MMM is now because of the following reasons:

1. Registration is Free: 

You can join MMM today for free and start providing help with it when you are ready unlike other similar networks and MLM that require specific registration fees or initial product purchase to join. In MMM it is totally up to you to decide how much money you would like to invest, and when you want to do so.

2. No buying and selling of products and services: 

in MMM you do not have to buy or sell any products or services

3. No monthly or annual fees (Autoship): 

Autoship and subscription fees are the hallmark of most MLM and network marketing programs but this is not so in MMM

4. Money is not paid to the company: 

Most most MLM and network marketing programs have company accounts where people must make all payments to. If there is any challenge with the company, all the money is lost but in MMM, you receive money from and give money directly to other participants, making it impossible for anyone to run away with your money

5. MMM has over 200 million Members worldwide so there will almost always be money in the system to pay participants.

The list of advantages goes on and on but the truth is that you can make a huge amount of money from this opportunity if you join early.
We encourage you to fill the registration form and register for free today. 
Afterwards, you can decide how much you would like to start with and our Team will guide you through the whole process.

When you click on the link below and the registration form opens, fill the details:
1. Your Full Name

2. Email Address, Phone Number (use international format e.g 234803111111 instead of 08031111111)

3. Password (you can use your phone number as your password)

4. Confirm Password (Put the same password you used in step 3)

5. Picture Code: (Put the code displayed in the picture (e.g G123).

6. Invite: This is already set. Don't change it.

Please leave the GUIDER’S EMAIL and GUIDER’S PHONE NUMBER empty. This will ensure that you join our MMM team and get support from our Team Leaders.

NOTE:
We have noticed that several people experience difficulty in filling the online registration form because of the type of browser and device they are using. We recommend you use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browser to access the Registration page but can also be done on iPad, iPhone, Android or other mobile devices.

NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND STOP PASSING OVER OPPORTUNITIES !!!

What David Cameron did not know about NIGERIA


All over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves .

In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated .

60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k .

In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations .

A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family,  have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State .

The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija .

South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played .

Of the 3 Presidents who ruled South Africa after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum .

Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support,  human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly. 

Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone that the world ignored because they have no oil. 

When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power .

Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil .

500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask .

Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610 .

We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge.
The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan  (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.

Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past.

If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage .

Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position .

We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness. 

What CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians.
On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.

They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.

If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. 
VIVA NAIJA🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

You are NOT a criminal. Be proud of Nigeria. Be proud of our heritage. Be enthusiastic of our future greatness #CelebrateYourNigerianness!

NIGERIA, GREAT NATION GOOD PEOPLE!!!!

Happy Democracy Day!

The Oldest Story in the World…

No doubt, this piece is going to be one of the millions of pieces that would be published on various media today on the subject of what we celebrate – Valentine. The newspapers and the magazines must say something; bloggers and nearly everyone on the various social media platforms will say something, too. To say the least, the Facebook posts and twitter tweets will alone run into hundreds of millions, covering features ranging from an exposé on the heroic virtues showcased by St. Valentine, through pieces of ‘free advice’ on the ideal way to run the day, to wishing their significant others happy Val’s day. And so, I’m not sure of writing something special here, but I’m pretty sure I will be writing something pretty different.

creation of adam
Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam

Today, I choose to retell a story: The oldest story in the world. The story of boy meets girl and the world stops moving. The story of how it always starts, irrespective of however it may possibly end. It is quite a story, and one we could all, in one way or the other, identify with. It is the story of Pure Love, and we find its very first expression in the first man, Adam.

We may not fully under this story until we travel back in time to Genesis, the very beginning. Imagine Eden. Imagine the assortment of animals and the variety of flowers. Imagine Adam seated there all alone, the only one of his kind; how else would he have found companionship with the animals or be fully satisfied with the banquet of rich food and choicest wines. Yes, in the midst of many he was all alone; in the midst of plenty yet so hungry. He didn’t even know what to expect or ask for until God his God came to the rescue, uttering these fine words: It is not good for man to be alone.

The climax of this story resides where the woman shows up. We can at least isolate two facts here: One, Adam didn’t know she was made with the bone taken from him, for he was not just asleep but was made to sleep deep! Two, Eve’s nakedness didn’t strike any cord in him, for they didn’t yet know about their nakedness until after the Fall. With these facts in mind, two questions are expedient: How come Adam knew she was taken out of him – “bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh!”? How come Adam made such a terrific exclamation, as if he knew what he wanted all along?

I’m not Adam, and I surely wasn’t there with him when the presence of Woman electrified his being, but I know what happened to him: He felt it! This episode reveals that intuition, as a source of knowledge has always been at work, and is as old as Woman. It was intuition that told Adam that she had been taken out of him – that like produces like. It was also intuition that told Adam that Woman was all he needed all along but didn’t know. This intuition is LOVE. Little wonder someone defined love thus: Love is the feeling that you feel when you feel a feeling you’ve never felt before.

Commenting on this story, the oldest story in the world, Scott Hahn submitted that before the Woman Eden was only a garden, turning into Paradise with her coming. And in one way or the other, all those in pure love can identify with this oldest story. When boy meets girl, that girl that fits what only his intuition knows, earth stops moving.

Today, better than any other day, we celebrate this story, and I choose to retell it, The Oldest Story in the World, and the very story of our love. We especially thank Fr. Valentine, of sacrificial memory, for giving us a reason for this celebration and retelling.

2nd ANNUAL TONY ELUMELU ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME

EMPOWERING ENTREPRENEURS ACROSS AFRICA

LAGOS, NIGERIA – 1st December 2015 – The Tony Elumelu Foundation announces TEEP 2016, the second annual round of the Naira 17bn (US$100m equivalent) Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme (TEEP) for emerging African entrepreneurs.

  • In 2015, TEEP empowered 1,000 African entrepreneurs, selected from over 20,000 applicants, with start-up investment, active mentoring, business training, an entrepreneurship boot camp and regional networking across Africa.
  • Entrepreneurs, with an average age range of 21-40, from 51 African countries completed the programme and received $5,000 in seed capital for their start-up businesses.
  • The Tony Elumelu Foundation invested a total of $4,860,000, including $1,405,000 in agriculture; $410,000 in education and training; and $365,000 in manufacturing.  The sector-agnostic programme funded start-ups across a further 20 industries, all based in Africa.

TEEP opens for entries at 00:00am WAT on 1st January 2016 and will accept applications until midnight WAT on March 1st, 2016.  To be eligible, entrepreneurs must complete the online application form with questions on their background, experience and business idea, plans for growth and proposed pan-African impact.  Further guidance and application procedures can be found on the online portal: http://TonyElumelufoundation.org/TEEP.  Applications are reviewed by an Advisory Board of distinguished African entrepreneurs.

Tony Elumelu Entrepreneur, Stella Nakatudde, founder of ICT company, Ella Solutions Ltd, based in Uganda, said of her experience: “Since being selected for TEEP 2015, I have learned invaluable life and business lessons, expanded and enriched my business network, opened our first office, hired two staff and closed two web development deals.  TEEP is not just a means to start or propel your business, it is the torch that will light your entrepreneurship journey for life and the pen that will script your story in the new African Narrative”.

U.S Secretary of Commerce, Honorable Penny Pritzker commented “I am pleased to see Tony Elumelu investing in entrepreneurs through The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme across Africa to work towards fostering communities of innovation”.

“I set out to institutionalise luck with the Foundation and give back to the Continent that made me”, said Tony O. Elumelu, the serial entrepreneur investor and philanthropist, who established the Tony Elumelu Foundation in 2010.  “Entrepreneurship can chart a new course of development for Africa, with Africans taking responsibility for wealth creation, creating value adding businesses here in Africa and this is why I encourage applications from across the Continent, regardless of age, gender, religion or colour.” TEEP is driven by Elumelu’s philosophy of Africapitalism, which calls for the African private sector to focus on long term investments that create social and economic prosperity in Africa, and take the lead role in Africa’s transformation.

Tony Elumelu Foundation CEO Parminder Vir OBE stated “Africa does not need aid alone, it needs investment and it needs entrepreneurs.  TEEP brings both and our ability to bring capital and the necessary support, for those who will help Africa harness its enormous potential is creating extraordinary opportunities across the Continent.”

In addition to directly supporting African entrepreneurs with “Empowerment Capital”, the Tony Elumelu Foundation uses data gathered to conduct research and advocate for policy improvements to the enabling environment. Earlier this year, the Foundation released a report titled “Unleashing Africa’s Entrepreneurs: Improving the Enabling Environment for Start-ups”, which includes insights based on the most comprehensive and diverse data set on African entrepreneurs ever compiled.

The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme is open to citizens and legal residents of all 54 African countries.  Applications for 2016 open on 1stJanuary and can be made by any for-profit business based in Africa in existence for less than three years, including new business ideas.

HARD ANALYSIS: Salaries, hmmm!

Divide your SALARY by 30 days and see what you get (i.e. the number of days in a month and see the funny thing about your salary plan).

For example,
(1) An average Level 12 worker in the state government civil service earns NGN60,000.
**** And this translates to NGN60,000 ÷ 30 = NGN2,000 every day. This is LESS THAN the amount made daily by an AVERAGE HAWKER in the city.

(2) A freshly EMPLOYED GRADUATE BANKER in most NIGERIAN BANKS earns an average of NGN120,000 monthly.
***So everyday, you get NGN120,000 ÷ 30 = NGN4,000 as the daily value for your work-life. By implication, this is LESS THAN the amount earned DAILY by an AVERAGE DRIVER in d city and in some villages...

(3) If you are a FRESH GRADUATE EMPLOYEE in some oil companies, you earn an average of NGN300,000 monthly. So in a day your WORK-VALUE is NGN300,000 ÷ 30 = NGN10,000
**** This is LESS THAN the daily amount earned by an IRRIGATION FARMER supplying vegetables to Lagos MARKETS, a TIPPER CAR DRIVER supplying sand for three BLOCK INDUSTRIES and CONSTRUCTION SITES just 3 times a day and DRIVERS of DANGOTE TRUCKS who have bought off the trucks at scrap value and are using them to convey products between villages and the cities for just five business owners.

--------->>>HOPE BY NOW, IT IS SINKING IN, RIGHT?

And when there is an ISSUE in the FAMILY that requires FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, the DRIVERS, HAWKERS and the rest are looking up to you with a WHITE COLLAR JOB.

(4) If you are an NYSC MEMBER, you DON'T need to be told that:
*****NGN19,800 ÷ 30 = NGN 660 is your worth on a daily basis.
I hope you know that PURE WATER SELLERS who own a shop, a pepper soup joint and a small TOYOTA COROLLA car to distribute pure water to five restaurants earn MORE THAN you & WHEEL-BARROW PUSHERS working on contract for three warehouses probably make MORE MONEY than you EACH DAY.

According to the above analysis, look at your daily worth, and subtract your daily liabilities which includes, feeding, transportation, communication, maintenance, house rent, etc. You will realise that your liabilities are far above your income.
The question is, are you worthy or worthless?

Wake up and be more productive. We should be more proactive, create room for more income and strive to diversify our streams of income.

The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the better for you...

Someone right now will say this analysis is too ideal to be true but take your time and do it, you will grasp the crux!!!

STOP waiting for the Government to feed you, feed yourself and help the Government feed others. That is where we are in this age...

Do have an Entrepreneurial mind ahead!!!
