Is MMM a really safe and profitable income opportunity?

There is so much buzz these days about MMM, a new income opportunity in Nigeria that gives people 30% of their investment every 30 days and there have been so many questions, oppositions, testimonies and debates about the validity, profitability and legitimacy of MMM. If you have not already heard about MMM or would like to know more about it so as decided if it will be good for you, please read the information here carefully.

MMM is an income opportunity that has been available in over 180 countries for some time and has been in Nigeria for about 9 months now. MMM has over 200 million users worldwide and just over 300 thousand members in Nigeria as at the time of this post.

Just like several other opportunities that have come into Nigeria, we have to decide whether or not we should patronize such opportunities, especially when we have had bitter experiences in the past.

The problem most people have is the difficulty in identifying a viable opportunity and the laziness to do something about it immediately. It is important to note that when a person continues ignore opportunities, no matter how rich or wealthy the person is, eventually the person will become poor financially. Someone defined the state of being POOR as Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly.

As long as you keep ignoring opportunities for additional income, wealth creation and sustenance, you will eventually become poor because no matter how much money you have, if you don’t keep getting much more than you spend, the money will eventually finish. One thing we must realize is that expenses keep coming and have a greater probability to increase with time.

OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS FOR MMM

MMM has been in Nigeria for barely 1 year and so many people are asking question as to how viable and reliable it is. Well we will furnish you with the information we have found and give you our candid opinion.

HOW MMM WORKS

After free registration, you declare the willingness to give help (click in your Personal Office (hereinafter PO) "Provide Help"), after which your account will be rewarded with mavro (internal “currency”/scores of the System). Mavros will start growing from the moment of offering the contribution at the rate of 30% per month. (Calculation of reward occurs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 00:00 GMT.)

From our investigations, MMM is very new in Nigeria and is at a LOW RISK level. Several people including our Team members have made a fortune from investing in MMM and we feel that you can do same if you join today.

We know that the best time to Join MMM is now because of the following reasons:

Nato leaders: 'Gaddafi must go'

Libya: Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy vow Gaddafi must go

The leaders of the US, the UK and France have said in a joint letter that there can be no peace in Libya while Muammar Gaddafi stays in power.

Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy say Nato must maintain military operations to protect civilians and maintain pressure on Col Gaddafi.

To allow him to remain in power would "betray" the Libyan people, they write.

Signs of division remain within Nato, which is struggling to find additional combat aircraft for its strikes.

Late on Thursday Col Gaddafi's daughter appeared before cheering crowds and accused the Western leaders of "insulting" Libyans.

"To speak of Gaddafi's resignation is a humiliation for all Libyans," Aisha Gaddafi told young loyalists at a rally at the Bab al-Aziziya barracks in Tripoli, damaged in a previous round of air strikes against Libya back in 1986.

Earlier, Libyan TV broadcast pictures which appeared to show Col Gaddafi surrounded by cheering supporters as he stood through the sunroof of a car driving through Tripoli, pumping his fists in the air.

'Pariah state'
The letter from the three leaders was published in the UK's Times newspaper as well as the International Herald Tribune and France's Le Figaro.

The BBC's Paul Adams, reporting from Washington, says the letter is an unusual step at a time of unease over Nato's ongoing mission.

Only a few of Nato's 28 members - including France, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Norway and Denmark - are conducting air strikes.

The alliance's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told foreign ministers at a meeting in Berlin he had received no offers from any ally to supply the extra jets, but said he remained hopeful.

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC on Friday that the call for new strike aircraft from Nato's supreme commander and secretary general would lead to a greater pressure on member states to contribute.

Signed by US President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the letter says Libyans in cities like Misrata and Ajdabiya continue to suffer "terrible horrors at Gaddafi's hands".

While the coalition has no mandate to remove Col Gaddafi by force, "it is impossible to imagine a future for Libya with Gaddafi in power", the leaders say.

To allow him to remain in power "would be an unconscionable betrayal" of Libya's people, they argue, and would make Libya both "a pariah state [and] a failed state".

Nato pilots are enforcing a UN resolution to establish a no-fly zone and to protect civilians in Libya. The country has effectively been split between forces for and against Col Gaddafi since a revolt against his rule began in mid-February.

"So long as Gaddafi is in power, Nato and its coalition partners must maintain their operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds," the letter continues.

"Then a genuine transition from dictatorship to an inclusive constitutional process can really begin, led by a new generation of leaders."

The letter holds out the prospect of reconstruction for Libya with the help of the "UN and its members".

But French Defence Minister Gerard Longuet, speaking on French radio, conceded that ousting Col Gaddafi would be "certainly" beyond the scope of the existing UN resolution, and could require a new Security Council vote.

New fighting
Fighting on the ground, as well as Nato bombing missions, has continued while politicians debate the way forward.

Rebels said a rocket attack in Misrata by pro-Gaddafi forces killed 23 people on Thursday, and there were new reports of rocket fire into the city on Friday morning. Neither account could be confirmed.

The BBC's Orla Guerin entered the besieged western Libyan city, visiting a hospital where staff were battling to treat civilians injured by mortars and rocket fire.

The intensive care unit was full of patients with multiple shrapnel injuries, including a six year old girl, our correspondent says.

Doctors say 80% of those killed or injured in the city are civilians.

The hospital is struggling to keep pace with the attacks, and its emergency ward is a tent in the car park, she reports. Patients are rushed in and out to make way for new arrivals.

Medical supplies are coming ashore here but there has been heavy shelling in the port area, raising fears that Col Gaddafi wants to cut this last link to the outside world, she adds.

In Berlin, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Nato would continue "day by day, strike by strike" to target Col Gaddafi's forces.

Libyan troops 'force rebels out of Brega'

Heavy fighting is being reported in Libya's eastern town of Brega, as forces supporting Colonel Gaddafi advance on rebel-held strongholds.

Dozens of rebel fighters are pulling out of the area amid heavy shelling, witnesses say.

"Brega has been cleansed of armed gangs," a military source was quoted on Libyan state television as saying.

Libyan rebel forces have been losing ground for days, including the key oil port of Ras Lanuf on Saturday.

In other regional developments:
In Bahrain, riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at anti-government protesters blocking the main road into the capital's business district, and encircled the protesters' main camp, eyewitnesses said
In Yemen, dozens of people are wounded in clashes between Yemeni police, firing live bullets and tear gas, and anti-government protesters at the main opposition sit-in in the capital, witnesses said

Benghazi defiant

Correspondents say Libyan television has issued misleading statements on military gains in the past.

However, rebels have been seen on trucks equipped with anti-aircraft guns retreating from Brega along the coastal road towards Ajdabiya - the gateway to the main rebel-held cities of Benghazi and Tobruk.

In Benghazi itself the mood remains defiant, says the BBC's Pascale Harter, with many wounded fighters returning but other residents heading for the front line.

Meanwhile reports from the last major rebel base in western Libya, Misrata, say that Col Gaddafi's troops are on the outskirts of the city and tank fire can be heard.

International diplomatic pressure is growing for a no-fly zone to be imposed over Libya.

The policy would be aimed at preventing Col Gaddafi's forces using warplanes to attack rebel positions, although no clear position has emerged on exactly how this would be achieved.

On Saturday, the Arab League agreed to ask the UN Security Council to enforce such a zone.

The UK and France have pushed for the idea, but have failed so far to win firm backing from the EU or Nato.

Nato has previously cited regional and international support for the idea as a key condition before it could possibly go ahead.

Russia and China, which wield vetos on the UN Security Council, have expressed serious reservations on the issue.

Niger presidential election 'is example for Africa'

Niger has held a peaceful presidential run-off vote, which the country's interim military rulers have hailed as an example for the rest of Africa.

The military helped organise the vote, a year after overthrowing former President Mamadou Tandja.

Voters had to choose between opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou and Mr Tandja's ally Seini Oumarou.

Mr Tandja had spent 10 years in power, but was overthrown when he tried to overstay his legal term limit.

The army, which has pledged to step down by April, said it was not backing either candidate and would serve whichever government the people chose.

General Salou Djibo, who has led the junta since its largely popular coup, called Saturday a "great day for me and for all Nigeriens".

"If this honourable vote is a success, our democratic achievement will set an example for the rest of Africa," he said as he cast his vote.

The BBC's Idy Baraou in the capital Niamey says the voting seems to have gone smoothly, but the turnout appears to be lower than in the first round of the vote, held last month.

The election was overseen by about 2,000 observers from the African Union, regional economic bloc Ecowas, the EU and US groups.

EU monitoring chief Santiago Fisas hailed the election as a "victory of the people of Niger", adding: "It is an example of how to come again to democracy in peace."

Niger, a largely desert nation in West Africa, has reserves of uranium and has attracted billions of dollars of investment.

But it remains one of the world's poorest nations, and has a recent history littered with military coups and failed democratic transitions.

Voter Mariama Maiga, a Nigerien student, told the AP news agency she hoped the election would turn the page of the country's political crises.

"The loser should concede his defeat and the new president should get to work to find a solution to our problems of unemployment, corruption and misappropriation of public funds," she said.

Mr Issoufou won 36% of votes in the first round, and expressed confidence he would be elected in the second round.

Egypt crisis: President Hosni Mubarak resigns as leader

Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down as president of Egypt.

In an announcement on state TV, Vice-President Omar Suleiman said Mr Mubarak had handed power to the military.

It came as thousands massed in Cairo and other Egyptian cities for an 18th day of protest to demand Mr Mubarak's resignation.

Protesters responded by cheering, waving flags, embracing and sounding car horns. "The people have brought down the regime," they chanted.

Mr Suleiman said Mr Mubarak had handed power to the high command of the armed forces.

"In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country," he said. "May God help everybody."

Mr Mubarak has already left Cairo and is in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh where he has a residence, officials say.

In Cairo, thousands of people are gathered outside the presidential palace, in Tahrir Square and at state TV.

They came out in anger following an address by Mr Mubarak on Thursday. He had been expected to announce his resgination but instead stopped short of stepping down, transferring most powers to Mr Suleiman.

Sudan soldiers clash in Malakal: Several dead

At least 13 people, including two children, have been killed in clashes between soldiers in the volatile south Sudan town of Malakal, doctors say.

Battles broke out on Thursday between rival northern troops, some of whom want to stay in the south. Malakal has previously seen north-south clashes.

The fighting comes as Southern Sudan is waiting for confirmation of the result of its independence referendum.

Provisional results say 99% of voters opted to secede from the north.

The vast majority of casualties seen in the hospital are civilians, caught in the battle which officials say has included heavy weapons such as mortars.

But more are feared dead in the areas of heaviest fighting, which doctors have not yet been able to access.

The fighting began when southerners who joined the northern army did not want to move, Upper Nile state spokesman Bartholomew Pakwan Abwol told the Reuters news agency. "They think they will have no rights in the north," he said.

Another of the dead was a United Nations driver caught in crossfire, a UN spokesman said.

The southern army, the SPLA, has not become involved in the fighting.

It has previously clashed with northern militia in the town on the River Nile, leaving hundreds dead in 2006 and 2009.

It is still seen as one of the potential flashpoints along the north-south border.

Southern Sudan is set to become the world's newest nation on 9 July 2011.

Its referendum was part of a deal to end decades of conflicts between north and south, driven by religious and ethnic divides.

Tunisian police kill protesters

Tunisian police have shot dead at least two people during a protest in the north-western town of Kef.

Officers opened fire after a crowd attacked and burned a police station, demanding the resignation of the police chief they accused of abuse of power.

Unconfirmed reports say another two people died on the way to hospital.

The deaths came as a nationwide night-time curfew, imposed during the unrest which ousted President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, was shortened by two hours.

The protests are widely seen as a having inspired the current turmoil in Egypt and demonstrations in other countries in the region.

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Kef police station on Saturday.

Witnesses told state media the situation deteriorated after the police chief, Khaled Ghazouani, slapped a woman in the crowd.

Protesters reportedly threw stones and petrol bombs at the building.

"The police fired to prevent the protesters from breaking into the station," Reuters news agency quoted the ministry official as saying.

Initial reports said four people had been killed, but it later emerged that the later deaths had not been confirmed. Another 17 people were injured in the violence.

Regional prefect Mohamed Najib Tlijali has appealed for calm, and said Mr Ghazouani was had been arrested, the Associated Press reports.

Reduced threat
Earlier on Saturday, two members of the security forces were arrested in Sidi Bouzid, in connection with the death of two detainees earlier in the week.

The town was the origin of the weeks of unrest which ousted Mr Ben Ali in mid-January.

The UN says at least 219 people died in the unrest. The police force has largely been blamed for the deaths.

The country has been relative calm since Mr Ali went into exile, but small-scale protests demanding the removal of anyone linked to the former regime have continued.

A unity government has been sworn in and Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi has promised elections within six months.

While a night-time curfew remains in place, it has now been shortened to four hours, between midnight and 0400 local time (2300 GMT to 0300 GMT).

Earlier on Saturday, the UK's Foreign Office lifted its travel warning for Tunisia, citing a "reduced threat".

Egypt protests: Muslim Brotherhood 'to join talks'

Egypt's most influential opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, says it will enter talks with officials on ending the country's political crisis.

The group told Reuters the talks would begin on Sunday and would assess how far the government was "ready to accept the demands of the people".

The negotiations would be the first ever to be held between the government and the officially banned Brotherhood.

President Hosni Mubarak has rejected protesters' demands that he quit now.

Mr Mubarak - who has been in office since 1981, tolerating little dissent - has said he will not stand in elections due in September.

Huge crowds have been on the streets of Cairo and other cities in the past few weeks demanding his immediate resignation and calling for democratic reforms.

The Muslim Brotherhood had previously said it would not take part in negotiations between the government and opposition groups.

But a spokesman told Reuters: "We have decided to engage in a round of dialogue to ascertain the seriousness of officials towards the demands of the people and their willingness to respond to them."

A spokesman told the AFP news agency the dialogue was also aimed at ending "foreign or regional interference" in the situation.

The Islamist group is Egypt's most influential and well-organised opposition but it remains officially banned and its members and leaders have been subject to frequent repression.

Mr Mubarak has blamed it for the unrest and said that if he leaves, the group will exploit the ensuing political chaos.

The Muslim Brotherhood denies accusations that it is seeking to create an Islamist state in Egypt.

Resignations
Opposition demonstrators are continuing to occupy Cairo's Tahrir Square as the protests enter their 13th day, although the numbers have fallen from Friday's huge rally.

The military has been attempting to re-open the square to the public in an attempt to restore normality, and to confine the protests to a small area.

"You all have the right to express yourselves but please save what is left of Egypt. Look around you," said army commander Hassan al-Roweny, addressing the crowds on Friday evening through a loud speaker.

But hundreds of people then attempted to prevent the army from entering the square - some lay on the ground in front of the tanks to block their progress.

The BBC's Jim Muir in Cairo says they fear the protests would become irrelevant if they were confined to a smaller area - but he adds that relations between the soldiers and the demonstrators have remained friendly.

The US - a key ally of the Mubarak government - has called for a swift transition of power, although it has not explicitly told Mr Mubarak to leave.

It has also encouraged all parties to fully engage in talks with opposition groups.

US Vice-President Joe Biden phoned his Egyptian counterpart Omar Suleiman on Saturday, and called for "credible, inclusive negotiations for Egypt's transition to a democratic government to address the aspirations of the Egyptian people", the state department said.

The entire leadership of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) resigned en masse on Friday, apparently in response to the protests.

Two of Mr Mubarak's allies, including his son Gamal, lost their posts while Hossam Badrawi was appointed secretary general.

Egypt unrest: Hosni Mubarak warns of 'chaos' if he quits

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has said he would like to resign immediately but fears the country would descend into chaos if he did so.

In his first interview since anti-government protests across Egypt began 10 days ago, he told ABC News he was "fed up" with power.

But he warned that the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood party would fill any power vacuum if he stepped down.

He denied his supporters were behind the violence of the last two days.

Speaking to ABC's Christiane Amanpour, he vowed never to leave, saying: "I would never run away from this country. I will die on this soil."

He added that it hurt him to him to see "Egyptian fighting Egyptian".

News of the interview follows a day of violence in central Cairo, with anti-government protesters clashing with Mr Mubarak's supporters.

Stones were thrown on both sides, and there has been some gunfire.

The army, which was trying to separate the two sides, appears to have failed to control the crowds.

Egypt's Health Minister Ahmed Samih Farid said that eight people had died in the fighting, which began on Wednesday, and 890 were injured, nine of them critically.

Another person was later reported killed in clashes on Abdel Monem Riyad Square, also in central Cairo. Many more were injured.

The BBC's Khaled Ezzelarab in Cairo says the shift in focus from Tahrir Square to Abdel Monem Riyad Square appears to indicate a strategic advance for the anti-Mubarak protesters, who have managed to hold their ground in Tahrir and move the clashes elsewhere.

Meanwhile US state department spokesman Philip Crowley has urged Mr Mubarak to move "farther and faster" with the transition.

Earlier Mr Mubarak's deputy, Omar Suleiman, called for time to carry out political reforms before presidential elections in September.

He warned there would be a political vacuum if a proper period of transition was not allowed.

Morocco handed 2015 Nations Cup; South Africa host 2017

Morocco have won the right to stage the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations while South Africa will host the 2017 edition.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) in Lubumbashi, DR Congo.

Morocco and South Africa were the only countries bidding to stage the tournament after DR Congo withdrew.

South Africa last hosted the Cup of Nations in 1996 while the competition went to Morocco in 1988.

The President of the South African Football Association (Safa) Kirsten Nematandani told reporters after the announcement that he was happy that they were awarded the 2017 edition.

"We are not disappointed at all, it gives us more time to prepare our national team for the event," Nematandani said.

He continued: "This time we also want to win it on home soil." Nematandani's Moroccan counterpart Ali Fassi Hihiri said he too was satisfied with the way things had gone.

"It's a great day for Morocco and I am very happy," Hihiri commented.

Morocco and South Africa were engaged in a fierce battle for the right to host the 2010 World Cup, which South Africa won in a tight 14-10 vote in Zurich in 2004.

The 2012 African Nations Cup finals are being co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

After that, the tournament will be played every odd year with the 2013 tournament already designated to Libya.

In other decisions taken at the Caf Executive Committee meeting, Morocco will host the 2013 edition of the African Under-17 Championship while Rwanda will host 2016 edition of the African Nations Championship (CHAN).
