MMM  like many ponzi and pyramid schemes, thrive on participants paying into a single account from where the scheme is impacted and fraud takes places. But since changing to the current format of providing help (PH) and getting help(GH),  MMM have produced a model that is too good to stand the test of time. Also with the 30% interest received for participant who provided help in 30days is mouth watering. People like me have always tried to find where the 30% interest is coming from, only to be told it stirs from traffic to the site, monetized  MMM videos on youtube, and the use of google products by guilders etc. This makes the interest MMM is paying " free money ."  The business model is very good, i mean so good that will draw a lot of people to withdraw their money in the bank and put them in MMM. No wonder the precocious climb in the past year for MMM, already one of the most visited site in Nigeria in the past 12 months. Remember i said the model is so g...

Business degrees are hot, but you might want to reconsider your decision. Here are eight reasons why you should not major in business : 1. Business majors don't learn much in business school. That's one of the bombshell conclusions of Academically Adrift , a new blockbuster bestseller that suggests that 45% of university students don't learn much of anything in their first two years of college, while more than one out of three students graduate with no improvement in writing and analytical skills. Among the students who learn the least in college are social work, education and business majors . In contrast, the researchers found that students majoring in the humanities, social sciences, hard sciences and math do relatively well. 2. You won't make as much money as you think. If you're interested in making tons of money, here's a wake-up call: in the latest university degree salary survey is that , business is NOT one of the best-paying univer...

The Federal Government of Nigeria has initiated moves to shut down MMM operations in Nigeria. Managing director of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) Alhaji Umaru Ibrahim, said regulators have set up a committee to stem the nefarious activities of the fraudsters across the country. ''I wish to sound a word of caution to members of the public on the activities of illegal fund managers, otherwise known as Wonder Banks. It is worrisome to note that despite repeated advice, many unsuspecting members of the public are still falling victims to the mouth-watering interest being offered by these illegal fund managers'' Members of the public are therefore advised to patronize only banking institutions that display the NDIC sticker: 'Insured By NDIC' in their banking halls or entrances. ''However, the regulatory authorities have set up an inter-agency committee under the Financial Services Regulatory Co-ordinating Committee (FRSCC) to st...

Is public Wi-Fi safe? The short answer: Hell, no. But if you must use the free wireless at your hotel or the satellite office (i.e., Starbucks), here are some precautions you should take. Keep it impersonal. Never online-bank via public wi-fi. Obvious, right? But you shouldn’t even check email -- that can give hackers access to a trove of personal info. This applies even to secure websites, those with https (hypertext transfer protocol secure) in the URL. “Public hotspots are susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks” -- where the hacker intercepts communications -- “which will strip out the ‘secure’ part of https,” warns David Lee, a product manager for mobile at security software company Norton. Beware fake networks. Check the network name with the staff of wherever you’re working. “You might see ‘Free-Starbucks-wifi,’ but this could easily be a fake,” says Jérôme Segura, a lead malware intelligence analyst at Internet security software maker Malwarebytes. You’d be able ...
