Memories Of 2016 MMM Scheme Re-Echoes In New Nollywood Movies
Memories of the infamous 2016 MMM scheme, where Nigerians lost billions of Naira, which they invested in that scam, re-echoes last Sunday night when a new Nollywood movie ‘Ponzi’, premiered in Lagos.
The classic tragicomedy produced by Vincent Okonkwo and directed by award winning Kayode Kasum, recaptured the unforgettable experience of the scheme.
Ponzi took the audience on a trip into the past, recalling how the online investment scheme that gave 30 percent interest to customers was popularised in 2016 among Nigerians. The audience however, held their breath from the beginning to the end of the one and half hour movie.
The movie featured noted actors including: TiminiEgbuson (Elevator Baby), Broda Shaggy (Fate of Alakada), UzuamakaAmumuoh Hide Jide Kosoko (King of Boys), Mawuli Garvor Mamboli (the whole 30 years), Tope Tedela (A Soldier’s story), Mr Macoroni, Amanda Dara Afolabi, ZubbyMichael, Immaculate Okoakasum, Gold Ikponmwosa, Eso Dike (Jenifa’s Diary) and Chinyere Wilfred.
