MMM Nigeria: What Wrong Has Mavrodi Done Our Lawmakers?

It's no longer something hidden that the 'Giant of Africa' has slipped into dire economic mess - an ugly situation which has resulted from past economic mismanagement and current managerial blankness on the part of those galloping the corridor of power. This present economic hardship has made itself obvious through hike in price, decadence in public infrastructure as well as high rise in corruption and other civil offences.

Lately, investment in the economy has been stalled wholly due to the turbulence in the Naira-Dollar brawl which has recently become unstable as the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. This has further heightened economic trepidation and charged atmosphere of poverty and terror.

It was amidst this economic woe that the wonder bank - MMM - came to ameliorate the poor aura of sadness of the Nigerian masses. Because this online wonder bank has proven countless times to be more efficient than the conventional banks which steal their customers and charge a fee for this injustice, the Nigerian people have decided to invest in this scheme despite the imminent risk which glares at them boldly. This has yielded overwhelming success beyond all reproach, thus garnering a firm reputation for the online wonder bank in Nigeria.

But the toothless dogs have barked yet again. Recently, our lawmakers have turned their 'caring' eyes to the culprit (this time around MMM Nigeria); they allege that it has robbed Nigerians of their wealth. When did our lawmakers start caring for the poor masses? Did they care for ordinary Nigerians when they squandered the collective wealth and dragged everyone into this enduring recession? Did they care for the downtrodden when herdsmen slaughtered defenseless Nigerians or when Soldiers died in Sambisa forest for want of quality arms? Then, why this particular interest in MMM scheme? Does MMM affect them in some roundabout way unknown to us? For it is widely known that unless a policy affects the nobles, they do not rise to complain, posing a disguise of representing the general public.

Perhaps, these morbid janitors are lost at sea as regards the workings of this online gesture; that there is no central place everyone pays money to. Rather, money is being transferred from one hand to another while Mavrodi moderates as an umpire. Thus, it must be clearly stated here that if this fight by these denizens against the general public persists, it is but right cudgels are held up against these Talibans in brocade.
