Some residents of the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday
expressed happiness with the return of MMM, but say its new system of
payment has dampened their morale.
Participants of the scheme have continued to celebrate the
return of the controversial money-doubling scheme, Mavrodi Mundial
Moneybox, which resumed activities on January 13.
The new system of payment prioritises participants with
smaller sums of money in the system, therefore causing participants with
larger sums to wait for payment, coupled with a new payout limit.
A number of participants who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja confirmed that they had been matched for payment on Monday, January 23.
According to the participants, they are happy that they can prove skeptics wrong.
Musa Aliyu, a trader said that he was happy that the programme had resumed, adding that it had changed his life.
“I was scared at first that MMM would fail to return on the
scheduled date, but I was happy to learn that they resumed ahead of
schedule.
“People had been so skeptical about the programme, but I
know that since the president came into power, finances have been
hard. I will always thank MMM for saving my family from financial
struggles in 2016.
“I am one of the people who had money in the system before
it went on a break and now I have been matched for payment. The comeback
has encouraged some of my friends to sign up for MMM and I’m sure this
comeback will encourage more to join.”
Mrs. Ayomide Olatunji, a housewife, said that she was not
happy to hear of the new payment system, but she was sure it would pay
off in the long run.
“I can’t express my joy right now, knowing that I will be
getting my money back soon. When I learned that the system prioritises
those with smaller sums of money in the system and that there is a daily
payment limit, I was really annoyed.
“I have a larger sum of money in the system, so that means I
will have to wait a while to get paid and my payment may come in
installments; but I know it will pay off in the long run. These are
necessary measures to prevent the programme from crashing in the near
future,” she said.
Mr. Joshua Agim, an entrepreneur, said, “We know the dangers of this system, but the media and government should leave us alone.
“The system successfully matched me yesterday and I am
expecting my money and interest soon. This programme has helped me a lot
and done for me what the government has failed to do.
“Government has no right to arrest participants when most
government officials are assumed to be busy looting our
funds. Government and skeptics should just leave us alone.
“People said the programme had crashed and they made jest of us; but now, we are back in business,’’ Agim said.
