Standup9ja: Dangote dissociates self from Ponzi scheme
‘HWMG’
The Dangote Group has raised alarm over a Ponzi scheme in
circulation alleging partnership between the “Dangote brand, Nestle, Cussons
and other reputable food processing companies” in launching a multi-level
marketing initiative that intends to “fight hunger, poverty and stop recession”
by paying participants in food.
The group in a release said: “Contrary to the publication
widely circulated on social media and mobile instant messaging application, the
Dangote brand is neither the initiator nor a partner to the “Happy World Meal
Gate” Ponzi scheme and strongly warns the public against participating in such
malicious schemes aimed at defrauding un-suspecting participants of their hard
earned money.”
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer at Dangote Group,
Mr Anthony Chiejina said “The faceless entities behind the scheme have sought
to achieve cheap legitimacy by associating themselves with the Dangote brand
and other reputable multinationals and efforts are on-going to track and
prosecute these for unlawful use of our brand name.”
