		<description>Ogu, guyman, Refinedone, O&#039;jay Simpson, Henry, fhreedom4real:

There is no reason why we should not be able to debate this topic with passion and still learn and respect each other.

The topic was killed due to the ........

Personally, I have learnt some things and I know I would have gained more if the discussion has been sustained.

The truth is that my actions are based on my thoughts and my thoughts emanate from the information stored in my database that are available for analysis.

What seems the best today based on new information may come to the second position.
I will change my mind and touch what I would not even look at a while ago if only I now have enough information that resolves my concerns.

I am denied of opportunities to learn when those that have information for one reason or the other are made to shut up.

I appeal to us all to be passionate, vocal and yet resist the use of words that may make others hold back their opinions.

		<description>I respect the fact that everybody whether a christian or a muslim has a right to hold diverse opinions, including Dipo. Oâ€™jay you have done your part now allow God, if what Dipo is doing is wrong he would surely correct him.

In my view the CF guys are doing legal business and they have gone a step further from July 1st 2007, members can invest in FOREX or would it be pyramid/ponzi arrangement?

Letâ€™s cut the story short, join the Naija Freedom Team TODAY

Please respect this business model it is basically different.</description>

		<description>A pyramid scheme (also known as &quot;Pyramid Scam&quot; [1]) is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century. Matrix schemes use the same fraudulent non-sustainable system as a pyramid; here, the victims pay to join a waiting list for a desirable product which only a fraction of them can ever receive.</description>

		<description>Henry,
I don&#039;t talk about something I don&#039;t know. When I heard about Club freedom, I did extensive research on it and my views are based upon those. As a start, pls check the link below:

http://www.matrixwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4625&amp;page=12

Why don&#039;t you guys just market club freedom as buying a travel voucher with $150 and putting $50 in a jackpot that requires you to recruit a lot more people to win the ultimate prize. Club freedom themselves admit that the reward scheme is by using down lines to pay uplines so what are you talking about? And again, trust you don&#039;t know that you can get that access certificate free.

Anyways, if you have chosen club freedom as a way to go, please do the right thing and not market it as an investment because it&#039;s not. It&#039;s about getting a travel voucher and entering a jackpot funded by every member&#039;s $50.</description>

		<description>People amaze me to no end. I am not an advocate for MLM but, how can you place a label on something you know so little about. Guyman, with all due respect, if there&#039;s some proof that they pay uplines with the contributions of downlines, then give us some evidence in that regard. Until then take the path of law... innocent until proven guilty.
One of the hallmarks of maturity is the ability to substantiate claims with hard facts because words are like forest fires; inflaming the hearts of all who listen. Do not let your bias rob others of a wonderful opportunity if they are interested. This, as with most things in life, should be met with some equanimity.</description>

You have sunk to the lowest depths. You are now trying to justify CF by writing this horrible article about pyramids in our lives. I agree with you that many things in life have pyramid structures but that is where it ends! You justifying CF beacuse organiations have pyramid structures is rubbish. Like guyman posted above, an organisation is set up, it carries out legitimate business, makes profit and remunerates its staff. On the other hand CF isnt a legitimate business. The claims is you are selling holidays at Â£150, who are the people buying the holidays? When I pay Â£150, do I get to go on any holiday? answer is no. That is where you can tell CF is a ponzi scheme and you are only paying off the people in front of you.

I guess the only reason you wrote this article was because of your conscience. You hurriedly put together an article which does not justify CF but rather makes you look even more fraudulent. It is good to take risks but it must be calculated risk. A house built on quicksand will definitely not last. A word is enough for the wise.</description>

		<description>Dipo,
 why do you feel the need to justify yourself... if MLM is the way for you that should be your choice...some may not be interested simply out of principle, as in that is not a way to make money for them.

You trying to draw analogy to everything in  life as a pyramid in not necessary ( IMHO)

 MLM, (IMO) is temporary...it&#039;s not long term. It a matter of the early bird eats the fattest worm!
but then again, to each his own I say!

PS: Looking forward to other topics other than MLM.</description>

Very interesting thot!

The money you get from your company (if you work in a company) is as a result of the labour you and others provide; depending on the nature of bizness - if you work in a bank, it is the liabilities that the marketers bring in that pays your dough.

The aim of Club Freedom is not 6K dols but Travelling to an exclusive resort  center. The 6k is expected to facillitate your travel. In order to achieve this dream, you are expected to market their travel voucher and network with others to grow. This is the formation of every Network marketing.

I am sure you can read about MLM and Network marketing; just google it!

I am done trying to explain it; you have a choice dear........</description>

		<description>Dipo, Are you telling me it is not money from your downlines that is used to pay you your own $6000. Is the company bringing money from outside the pyramid to pay off those at the top? If the answer to those two questions is no, then I wonder what constitutes a ponzi scheme if not this one. As I said, they might be getting more sales on their vouchers with the arrangement, but the fact remains that even with it the process of getting $6000 is a ponzi arrangement</description>

What is a pyramid?

A pyramid has nothing to do with money.

Multilevel marketing has a lot to do with  buying into a product and thru referal able to acquire commision from that product. Club Freedom is a multi Level marketing or what some refer to as Network marketing; it has the structure of a pyramid.

Almost every work place has the structure of a pyramid!

Whats a ponzi scheme?
