The sky is falling (MMM Story)
Disclaimer: AM Properties does not at any time support Ponzi as a means to raise fund but there is a lesson in this story that we cannot ignore. Reader’s Discretion is advised
My name is Anthony Iganu and I have been following this page for some time. I decided to share my story too. I will call it the MMM Story
I was living in the suburb of Lagos, Agboju to be precise. I was one of those your carefree boys that Fashola would have deported because I really had nothing doing. I have tried GNLD and all the “Get Rich Quick” methods but I realized it required more than it seems. I was at an Uncle’s Shop when one lady let us call her Aunty Chioma. Aunty Chioma was discussing with my Uncle about a “blessing” that God has sent to Nigerians because of the harshness of this regime. My uncle an importer of Electronics called it a Ponzi (that was actually the first time I heard that word) and insisted it won’t last for a long time for him to recoup his money, “It will not last for a couple of months” he said and went on to sight examples both foreign and local Ponzi with a smirk of smile that fanned his ego for his obvious tank of knowledge on sound investment opportunities….or so he thought. The lady was persistent too, she admitted not knowing most of the names he called but “you can come and see my dashboard or even my whatsapp group and our youtube pages” she said with a bit of desperation like the project would be better if my uncle joined. As my uncle continue what she was doing, she looking at her phone and said, look at Green everywhere people are Getting Help and Providing help” she said it as if to reassure herself than to convince my Uncle and my Uncle completed it, “I do not need help” he said with a tone of finality. As she was leaving, I wanted to ask her, why is she insisting that my Uncle who is way richer than she is makes more money, I finally said it in a tone that sounds like I am supporting my uncle and he replies, “ the easiest way to make money is to help others make money and then get commission, he went on to tell me why STARTUPS that claim to have a billion dollar idea do not go far because while searching for capital, they sign out all their rights and most times are not even he owner of the company they started, they unknowing has gone back to employment and taking orders while deceiving themselves on social media as CEO of this CEO of that. He said that they should be patient to raise enough fund through referrals before embarking on whatever they want so as to maintain their freedom and creativity which is the main drive to entrepreneurship
I told him of my GNLD experience, he only said, if networking does not work for you, you are the cause not the product because if you look around you, you will see people from humbler beginning that made it, “this one no be e papa get connection or e use money push eimsef “
After Aunty Chioma left, my uncle told me that he would have supported her if the business was legit but he cannot find himself involved in a ponzi . I left with the #20,000 that he gave to me and from their conversation, the lady had dropped a number to be called when he finally decides, I copied the number, gave her a call, she helped me set up an account and I started with #20,000 ( this was in mid 2015- before it went viral) I was an “Early Bird”, I joined the team and we promoted MMM , We figured out the two weeks hack and the other “other let outs” before others joined, we were guilders already and invited people based on the weakness of the site. I saw firsthand the fear of investment among people, more people invested their money because I told them how to get it back in two or three weeks, I realized that poor people and rich people behave differently. While greed ruled my poor downlines, the rich fellas were more concerned about the safety of their investment. While the poor will tell you that I cannot bring anybody because I do not like marketing, the rich man as soon as he is convinced will call up his friends and tell them about it and earn commission.
If this was the end of the story, I would have called my uncle an investment guru but we are humans after all. My uncle called me in late 2016 to set up an account for him, he came with big money to enable him catch up quick since the system has been strong for one full year. He opened multiple accounts for commission and according him, school fees and all the house expenses, in December, he opened more accounts for the December “Double Promo” but then came the December break or morantium and you know the rest of the story.
Observation: Investment deals more with timely decisions than with Money;
I risked my #20,000 when it was early and was rewarded heavily but he risked his big money when the system is “safe” , I gained, he lost……decision should be timely
ADMIN’S LESSON
Imagine someone buying Lekki Phase One today for #50,000,000 or #100,000,000 how much you are going to sell it. Its safe quite alright but what is the return on investment because if you were concerned about safety than ROI, then your money is better off in the bank
If you invest in IBEJU LEKKI, invest while the Refinery is under construction, invest while the Lekki Free Trade is coming and Invest while the Eko Atlantic is still be commissioned when the price booms, you may not be able to afford it. Take Land investment like a vet takes his puppies, he buys puppies, nurtures them to full male and female dogs and then they bear other puppies but what if he buys an Eight year old female dog, to what future does such a vet buy??
I will conclude in the words of the following author
Brian Tracy: if you must eat a live frog, eat the biggest first
Richard Bradson: if it catches your fancy but you do not have enough information about it, Screw it, let us do it
His Uncle was shouting that the sky is Falling, he know all the data he probably followed all the bad news in the media about MMM but when he realized that they were just bad news, he decided to come out and that was actually when the sky fell.
