Corper Remanded In Kirikiri Prisons For Using Employers N3.5, For MMM, Twinkas

A national youth corper is currently languishing at the Kiri-Kiri medium prison in Apapa, Lagos after a failed N3.5 million investment in Twinkas and MMM Ponzi schemes.

Politics Nigeria discovered that the corper, a 2016 Batch B member of the National youth service corps, was arrested and arraigned for embezzlement after operators of the Ponzi schemes failed to return the money, which belonged to the company where he was doing his service.

The young man had hoped to make a quick profit at the end of his service only to end up disappointed. His employers wasted no time in inviting the police into the matter after he failed to return the money. His plight was made public by a colleague, a lawyer, who missed the last community development service (CDS) and took advantage of the group’s WhatsApp platform to explain his absence.

The lawyer, Augustine Ukpo, wrote:

“I was in court representing our Corper member colleague who was arrested and arraigned today before the Agbomalu Magistrate Court involved in N3.5 million embezzlement from his PPA (Place of Primary Assignment).” Giving an update the next day, corper Ukpo wrote on the same platform: “I earlier posted you guys that one (of) our Corper colleague(s) was arrested and arraigned yesterday.

He is now in Kirikiri Medium Prison pending the perfection of his bail conditions. While interviewing the corper member, I noticed bruises all over his body – evidence that he was beaten. He was kept in police custody for more than 24 hours. These got me furious as a lawyer. Even though the corper agreed that he used the money for MMM and Twinkas, his fundamental right should not be compromised. In this vein, I shall be filing a fundamental right action against the employer of the Corper.

Corper Ukpo refused to disclose the name of his client but posted photos showing signs of torture allegedly inflicted on him in a police cell before he was transferred to prison custody.

MMM Nigeria Is Back!

Dear members,

The holidays are over, and we''re now open. Just as promised. (You might have already noticed that we always stick to our promises. :-)) Actually, we promised to be open on January 14, but we''re open now, January 13, as you can see, which is a day earlier. (Well, I hope, the members of the System will forgive us for that. :-))

It''s related to the hysteria raised by the authorities and the mass media around MMM. By joining forces, they''ve managed to nearly give the members of the System a heart attack and have frightened them out of their wits. Poor souls don''t know what to expect. Will we open again or not? :-))

This is why we''ve decided, considering the situation, to reach out to the members, reassure and cheer them up by opening a little earlier. After all, Together We Can Change The World! :-))

Here we go.

1. As of this notice, MMM resumes its usual operation. You can now create your GH-requests.

2. However, it''s obvious that panic will reign in the first few days after the re-opening of the System. We’re likely to be deluged by GH-requests. Therefore, we''re going to make gradual paybacks by setting internal output limits. In other words, we will only pay a certain amount per day. Please, be prepared to wait for a couple of days. We are certain things will then calm down, and the System operation will return to normal.

We''re the ones setting the limits, so it''s completely under our control, and we are not expecting any emergencies in principle. Have no fear and go on about your business as usual. :-))

As the System is socially oriented, we will make paybacks to the poor and the economically disadvantaged in the first place: it means to the members with small PH amounts. The richer can wait. Moreover, we''ve warned you repeatedly to only provide help with amounts that are not critical for you. Therefore, if these large amounts are not critical for them (the richer), they can wait a few days. No need to be tragic about it. :-))

This is the way it''s going to be.

Hoping for your kind understanding, Sergey Mavrodi. We Change The World!

P. S. I''d like again to call on the authorities and the mass media: Please, leave us alone! Have mercy on people.

10 Activities That Make Christmas A Memorable Experience In Nigeria

The month of December is the most festive month in the world.

And among all the festivals held on that month, Christmas happens to be the most famous.

In Nigeria, we celebrate Christmas and adding to our African way and methods, our celebration tends to be very special and memorable.

Below are 10 Activities that makes our Christmas unforgettable in Nigeria.

1. Traveling to our villages (hometown)

In search of greener pastures, many Nigerians tends to leave their state if origin to other states, Xmas sometimes happens to be the only time they have to travel and see their relations. It’s very special because you will see people you haven’t seen for a longtime.

2. Returning of relations and friends.

For those of us that are not opportune to travel, they will gladly wait and welcome their relatives who have traveled.

They even make sure the house is neat and decorated so that their incoming relations will have a memorable stay.

3. Amazing Christmas decorations

There is always a joyful feeling, when we see Christmas decorations everywhere.

Some state governors are good in this aspect.

Christmas light everywhere and also other wonderful declarations.

4. Vacations/holidays

No school will be in session, and even office workers will be given holiday break.

There will be free time for a very mighty celebration all across the country.

Nobody will say that he/she is busy. (Except the doctors of course Lol)

5. Carnivals and masquerades

December is know to be a month of great festivals. Many states/ Churches even streets host their numerous carnivals and they are always making sense.

Masquerade on other hands isn’t excluded. The are also given the opportunity to showcase their talents and powers and all these adds to why we can never forget Christmas.

6. Promos

You must have heard of Christmas Promos.

Every shop/companies both online on offline sometimes reduces their prices in the spirit of Xmas. We sometimes hear “oya bring money, let me do Christmas for you“.

7. Gifts from many people

We usually receive gifts from our friends/parents/customers/wife’s/uncles/etc during Christmas.

Although sometimes the gifts are small, but it worth the celebration.

8. Hamattern

That rare feeling in which everywhere becomes dry, cold and dusty, your cloths dries within 30mins of washing, and our bodies turns white (Lol).

Hamttern is one of the best natural activities that makes Christmas a wonderful and memorable festive seasons.

9. Fireworks/knockout/bangers

How can Christmas be complete without knockout in Nigeria?

In fact, these are one of the top reasons why Xmas can’t be taken for granted by our teens.

Although sometimes it’s dangerous, but it’s really nice if its monitored by an adult. 31th is really unforgettable because of fireworks and bangers.

10. Father-Christmas

Santa Claus also know in Nigeria as Father Christmas is the best and unforgettable aspect of Xmas. Nigerians kids love Santa soo much that they disturb parents to take then the any Xmas shows to see Father Christmas.
