Iveomachukwu said it took the grace of God for them to survive the trauma caused by the failure of MMM.

She said:

"It took the grace of God for us not to run mad. That was the day I swore that no matter how tempting something is, if it involves stupid risks, I’m never taking it. Even if it’s invest 5k and get 5M, I won’t do. I’d rather eat shawarma with that money."
