The cracks within the MMM community in Nigeria have
continued to widen with many of the three million participants in the
Ponzi scheme losing patience and trading accusations due to their
inability to get their money out of the scheme after waiting for more
than a month.
After being mocked Nigerians opposed to the scheme and fed
excuses by those behind it for over a month, confidence in the scheme is
declining with participants questioning its mode of operation and
faulting explanations offered by guiders.
The discontent with MMM became evident this week after all
payment (Get Help) requests by participants were removed by the scheme.
The development meant that even the poor or small investors that the
scheme said upon its ‘return’ on January 13 it would pay before higher
investors were equally frozen out.
Ironically, the frustration follows the wild jubilation that followed its return on January 13.
“We were patient for a whole month. What were you guys doing
during that period? It’s not right that after you made us wait for so
long, you are now making some upgrade or whatever without pre-informing
us. You are now preaching patience,” a participant, Busola, wrote on one
of the schemes help platforms, mmmhelp.blogspot.com.
When accused by an anonymous participant of being rude and
refusing to calm down, Busola fired back, “Dear anonymous, why not carry
cane and start flogging me? Last I checked it was a free world. There’s
no law against me saying my mind or ranting as you claim. Plus if I can
remember clearly, you didn’t pay for my subscription so who the f**k
are you to ask me why I am ranting. You really don’t want me to divert
my attention to you,trust me. I don’t know you and you won’t wanna know
me…”
Another participant with the username Jane suggested that
participants should be made to provide help before getting help, saying,
“This is what majority of your participants want, this is Nigeria,
nobody is going to willingly PH once paid for fear of not being paid
again, we are ready to PH to GH because then we are sure there would
always be somebody to pay us.”
However, she was told such a move would negate the MMM
ideology. She warned that the scheme was losing trust as a result of the
problem, saying, “Making people wait endlessly without hope of getting
their money back negates MMM ideology even more so chose which is
better,100 per cent loss of trust which is ongoing or 50 per cent loss
of trust.”
Joseph Adeiye accused the guiders of collapsing the system
and made a call for guiders to provide help to sustain the system. His
view was shared by several people including one Olamide, who posted,
“Those guiders are the reason for the problems the system is facing. A
guider GH 2.4m but he only PH 300k. Imagine that f*^k%*ry! They are all
thieves and will not want to PH. Greedy bastards.”
He added, “They had a whole month to do this stupid upgrade
but they didn’t do anything. I am seriously suspecting that they are
intentionally causing the panic so that the system will crash.
Bastards!!!! All of dem”.
When a participant, Sunday Olawoyin, called for patience and
for the MMM administrators to be commended as one month was not enough
for the system upgrade, he was attacked by aggrieved participants
including one Ike Oko.
Oko retorted, “Quiet your mouth there. A site can be running
and still be upgraded, it is just a matter of uploading the files to
the server. Do stop saying wizard, wizard this. All programmers and even
ordinary web developers can do it too. Do shut your trap .”
An anonymous participant, however, continued to defend the
scheme, and expressed surprise that people were not satisfied with the
explanations provided for the challenges.
“Let’s be patient and understanding… Have you considered the
fact that maybe there is not enough PH (help) to go round? You paid to
somebody and you need someone to pay you.”
In response to the anonymous comment, MMM Nigeria help
replied, “Together we change the world.” But that only enraged aggrieved
participants with Jane posting, “MMM is just mocking us with dis
useless slogan of “together we change the world” can’t you see it’s not
working in this case? chai! dem warn me I no hear.”
A participant with the username, Fagsam, lamented, “I’m
getting tired and losing confidence in this system already. People are
now making mockery of me that “didn’t we tell you not to do mmm?”…
Everything needed should have been done during the break…. Sad
something.”
As the debate raged on, some participants begged those
behind the scheme to pity them, while others were worried about the
growing panic and negative reports it would generate.
“Please, MMMNigeria, don’t fail us because we have never
failed you people since we started…We are just speechless,” wrote
Chinaza Abel.
But some have given up on the scheme with one of them
posting, “This MMM is fraudulent. Poor people like us are suffering so
much. I wish I never put my money on MMM. God will forever punish MMM
and all the people behind it, forever and ever.”
