Breaking News: PMB calls Femi Adesina

President Muhammad Buhari

 President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly put a call through to Femi Adesina, his special adviser on media and publicity, NAIJ.com can report.

According to Adesina, President Buhari called at exactly 2.43pm on Saturday, February 25 and he was more than delighted to speak with his boss for the first time in a month.

He wrote: "At exactly 2.43 p.m today, Saturday, February 25, 2017, my phone rang. Who was at the other end? Tunde Sabiu, personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari.

"Hold on for Mr President," Tunde said.

And in a matter of seconds, the very familiar voice came:

"Femi, how are you?" (He calls me Adesina most times, but today, he opted for Femi)

I screamed :"Mr President, I have missed you. How are you sir?"

He first laughed. That familiar laugh. Then he said: "I am still resting. Thank you for holding out against mischief makers."

I said it was my duty, the very least I could do, adding how happy I was to speak with him.

"How is your family?"

I said we were fine, and he asked me to extend his greetings to them.

"I hope to call you again, " Mr President said, and I bade him farewell, adding: "Best wishes, sir."

It was a defining moment for me. For more than a month, I had always spoken with aides who are with the President in London. Not once did I ask them to take the phone to him, deliberately so, because I didn't need to speak with him to validate the fact that he was alive. And since he was on vacation, he had a right to his privacy.

Of his own volition, President Buhari spoke with me. It made my day. Even if he hadn't done so, he would have remained my President, my leader, and my man. Any day.

This may all have quelled reports that the president is dead as has been rumoured in different sections of the media.

“The third degree heart block represents low heart rate less than 40 beats per minute, sync opal attacks and high blood pressure,’’ he said.

In the statement explained that the pacemaker lead electrode wire was inserted into the right ventricle through the vein in the left upper chest and the electrode was connected to the pulse generator placed under the skin.

MMM Anounces New Strategy, Nigerians React

As millions of Nigeria continue to hope they get their money back from MMM Nigeria, the Ponzi scheme has decided to implement a new strategy.

The latest announcement from MMM Nigeria was released on Wednesday, February 22.

Participants are already saying the message is a confirmation that the MMM admin has been listening to their complaints and suggestions.

The new message reads: “You constantly reproach us stating we don’t listen to your opinions however we really do. We try to carry out the most reasonable and efficient suggestions immediately.

Particularly, in accordance with your suggestions, we will soon take the following measures:

- We will stop the growth of confirmed Mavros acquired before the 1st of January 2017.

- We will freeze the bonuses received before the 1st of January 2017 (so that limited withdrawal of Mavro-2016 will include only contributions, not bonuses).

- We will introduce a new rule according to which the withdrawal amount cannot exceed triple amount of the provided help (so, GH cannot exceed PH more than in 3 times).

Many participants and guiders withdraw bonuses in such big amounts without PH that it threatens the stability of the whole System. (We don’t agree, however we will accept preferences of the majority. With this rule, you can’t withdraw only bonuses without providing help.

Therefore, keep on sending us your suggestions. We will take them into account (At least, we will try.”

Some participants are happy about the new strategy while some others think it is not the best decision.

Since its return on January 13, MMM Nigeria has been struggling to gain the confidence of participants who are yet to get back the money they invested in the scheme before it went on one month break in December.

Some have lost hope of ever getting their money back while others are still optimistic things will get back to normal.

Some people have killed themselves because they borrowed the money they invested in the money doubling scheme and now it looks like they will not be getting it back.

Recently, a young man, simply known as Adakole, who was about to wed last December drank insecticide following the alleged crash of Ponzi scheme. He passed on Monday evening, February 20, around Kubwa in Bwari Area Council of Abuja.
