FG set to shut down MMM in Nigeria, Nigerians react

The Federal Government of Nigeria is taking moves to shut down MMM operations in Nigeria. Speaking at the 2016 Lagos International Trade Fair, the managing director of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Alhaji Umaru Ibrahim, said that regulators have set up a committee to see the end of the nefarious activities of the ‘fraudsters’ across the country.

I am really disappointed at the fact that Government instead facing the challenges of the Nigerians and the Nation's welfare, they have decided to swallow Panadol for one's headache. I can decide to keep my money in my house, inside my car it's all about risk and who is taking it.

I really want to tell anyone who wants to hear to leave MMM alone, if it will crash let it be, I for one have decided to take the risk, what is wrong with the government? Is that the schools that you need to build, or roads you need to fix. 

Tell us today what is it that you are really fighting MMM for? Let me help you Mr. NDIC Managing Director, the fact that Nigerians no longer lodge monies in banks is becoming an issue, why not continue lodging your cash there and leave us with our risk.

Living in itself is risk, that I am a Nigerian is a huge risk, that we allowed this present government into power is also a risk which we are still taking.

Please key into MMM like South African President has done, haven't you noticed that people can now put food on their tables for their families, school fees paid with ease.

I put it to you that if you can't beat them join them. We are harmless and we are here to help Nigeria. Like I said before face other issues and let MMM be. 

How I'm I not sure that you are even involved in MMM and your other colleagues.

How dare you call MMM people fraudsters and that they are involved in nefarious activities, should I tell you the shares we risked our monies in but yet nothing.

Please let sleeping dogs lie. Long Live MMM.

'I will run for presidency if Trump wins US election' - Comedian

The comedian who has stated his disinterest in Donald Trump, threatened to run for president if he wins.

Stand-up comedian, Basketmouth has declared that he will run for the 2019 General Elections if US Republican candidate, Donald Trump wins presidency.

Trump is running against Democratic Party candidate, Hilary Clinton who is looking like the favourite to win the race.

“If Donald Trump wins the US election, I’m so running for the Presidential election in Nigeria 2019”.

In an interview, Basketmouth took time to comment on Nigeria's last presidential election which was won by Muhammadu Buhari.

He criticized Buhari's predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan, whose administration  was dominated by allegations of corruption.

The comic was not shy to admit who he was rooting for in the last election.

“While many of my colleagues, friends and family members campaigned for the PDP, APC and various candidates during the last elections (and I cannot emphasize enough that it is their right to do so), I never campaigned for Buhari or any other politician.

“Indeed, I personally hoped that he would win the election and perhaps that was evident in my body language and I am happy he won. But I did not campaign for him.

“Nigeria was in a bad place by the end of the last administration and it was only a matter of time before we would have suffered the plights of Brazil and Venezuela.

“Truth of the matter is that I would have voted anyone that could speak 2 words of English against GEJ and that’s strictly based on the amount of greed and selfishness we witnessed from members of his administration in the 6 years that he sat on the rock.

“They put us in this septic tank we are in right now…. well, that and the oil price downfall among other things."

Under new president, Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian has a new sense of hope though his administration hasn't been without some drama.

The Abduction Of 14-Year-Old Habiba and the Conspiracy Of Silence [MUST READ]

With the abduction of Miss Habiba Isyaku Tanko, a 14-year-old Christian girl in Katsina State, her alleged conversion to Islam and forced into marriage with one Jamilu and the silence of the powers that be to secure the release of Habiba to her parents tells a lot about the conspiracy of silence that is going on about the needless abduction of young Christians girls, their forceful conversion to Islam and subsequent giving of their hands in marriage to Muslim men without even informing the parents.

“….In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are simply protecting their trivial age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” – Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.''

On the 13th day of April in the year 2016, Miss Grace Alheri Bawa left Miya town to visit her uncles in their family compound in Siri, a village in Bauchi State. Information from her father had it that she later followed one of her uncle’s children to spend the weekend in Bauchi City in one of her uncle’s house.

The father, Elder Bawa Buba, an ordained elder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Miya, in Ganjuwa LGA of Bauchi State, thought she was in the village until he received Grace’s message of Grace following his brother’s children to Bauchi.

Elder Bawa put a call to Dauda Buba, his elder brother, to whom his daughter has gone to visit to enquire whether Grace was with him as reported. To his surprise, he confirmed the information but was also told that he, Dauda, has also Islamized her and that he should forget about seeing her any time soon.

Shocked and thinking it was a joke, Bawa could not believe his ears when Dauda went further to tell him confidently to forget about having back Grace as his daughter as she is now a Muslim and has no dealings for an “infidel” like him!
