Menzgold: Ponzi or Not? Thoughts from the Kuku Hills

Image
Today I  was first to come to work, I have nothing to do and I am just standing in the window looking down the Kuku Hill street from the 5th floor of Revenue Towers. Something crossed my mind so what's the meaning of all these hustle? Wakeup early around 4am leave home  and reach the work place around 6am start work around  8am, close around 5pm reach home around 8pm and the loop continues tomorrow. How will you feel when you're able to raise some amount of money and you invest the after few years an organisation you know nothing about called SEC comes to say the company you're investing in should shutdown with immediate effect?  The company you're investing in too doesn't seem to be able to explain what's going?  After thinking about the whole issue I went on twitter  (my favourite social media now) and I chanced on a post about menzgold being a joker trick lol. So I learnt about joker trick ie. The utalium trick in a movie and those who don't understand...

I think any dreamer might have met these circumstances before. So I replied the mail like this; My mom told me something when I was younger it goes like "the only person who will never envy your toys at some point in life is God. He created you, He wants you to create great things with your toys." Back then it didn't make sense but right now it makes sense to me. One thing as dreamers we have to know is that, everything else around you changes so ...
