Meanwhile, since the fiasco of December 2016, interest in the MMM scheme has waned as many lost money in the scheme, while others become more wary of it. However, there seems to be some good news on the horizon.
According to a post on the MMM Nigeria Support group, the scheme is set to pay back the money put in between November and December 2016 without the bonuses.
However, many critic insist MMM is fraud. Hence, in this video by ZENITHBLOG.com, some Nigerians say MMM is a 419 scheme.
