At a time networking business in Nigeria seems saturated, with the GNLD’s, Forever Living Products, Tianshi and others, with Nigerians looking as if they have had enough, a new indigenous networking company is now making waves in the country in six months of its existence.

Melisfon, a Nigerian networking company has taken the market by storm, with strong presence across most states of the federation.

To many observers, is still amazing how a Nigerian networking company like Melisfon managed to spread its tentacles across the federation in such a short period of its operations.

May be is because of its concept which is uniquely different from what many Nigerians who are into networking business are used to.

Others sell herbal products, and network with people to get them into their circle, but Meridians as they are called render services to members of their network and do not sell products.

Here they render services like periodical free medical services, skill acquisition scheme, leadership training and management scheme and social responsibility scheme.

This may have been responsible for why so many Nigerians trusted their own indigenous networking company by striving to become members in order not to be left out of the mouth-watering rewards.

The fantastic rewards coming at a time when the country is in deep economic crisis amid falling oil prices, may be the elixir that is working in favour of the company.
Saturday July 30 was a memorable day for members of the Meridian network group, as Melisfon, the network body rewarded them for their efforts in introducing people into the network.
The rewards which was for the bronze and Gold category made a lot of difference for the members who have worked diligently to expand the network and also served as an encouragement to others to work harder, while also offering others who are not members of the network the opportunity to register and be ready to be rewarded also.

The venue of the award in Ogba was filled to capacity as enthusiastic members of the Meridian family who were due for reward for their hard work in bringing more people to the programme waited patiently for the award which was in bronze and gold category.

The members of the network who qualified for the bronze category all went home with Android Tablet phones, as many of them got up to four phones, other three two and one based on their hard work.

There was excitement and joy as the management of Meridian reeled out the awards after verification to over 1,500 people for their commitment and hard work.

After the bronze category, the gold category also commenced in earnest, here the awardees were rewarded with Laptops, I-pads, washing machines, generators and refrigerators based on their choice.

Speaking during the award in Lagos, the chief executive officer of Melisfon Inc, Dr Gift Madu disclosed that the bronze and gold category will be followed by the Diamond category where cars will be given out, including an all expense paid trip to Dubai.

Dr. Madu said the reasons for the award is for excellence because of the efforts the members of Meridian has put in promoting Meridians.
He stated that in the company’s compensation plans, they have a structure where members who promote meridians to a certain level, are rewarded with some incentives, and awards.

Dr Madu explained that for those who want to join the network, all they need is a registration fee of N4000 to become a member which guarantees them the company’s services, like free medical, skill acquisition, management training and social responsibility while introducing new members into the network will guarantee them a reward in advertising the company.

He explained that: “Meridian is a limited liability company that offers services that touches the heart of the word, now if you visit our website, www.medians.org, you will the see the menu on the contacts that gives you information about the services we render. We have four beautiful service that touches the heart of the world, number one is the trade and skill acquisition which is actually designed to train people in different walks of life, helping people to acquire skills, short-term skills, like production of soap, detergent, Izal, insecticides, custards, manufacturing of biscuits, perfumes, paint making, bead making. We actually believed that with such skills, people can survive in this hash economy especially at a time were everybody needs to acquire new skill in order to survive”.

Dr Madu maintained that women who got nothing doing at home can actually acquire skill which will actually make them to survive in this time.
We also have on the platform, the quarterly free medical for those who are members of Meridians, our attention mostly is on the optometry, all the medical service we give is on something that has to do with your health, but is not every kind of health problem that we pay attention to, we give attention to minor cases, there are cases you refer, all the people working with us are full-fledged medical doctors with their MBBS, he said

He noted that many people never know the power in networking, adding that the power of networking is great.
Madu said many big organisation today are adopting the networking concept as it is coming into business, with banks, financial institutions going into networking.

In his words, “Although in this part of the world, we came to know this networking from products most of you are familiar with these companies, but the principle in it is what we are talking about. You know networking is not a company, networking is an industry, there are companies in the industry”.

According to him, “Meridian is a company in the industry, when we brought out our services, we also felt that one way people will come to know about what we do is to pass through that channel called networking, I tell you, you tell your brother. Now the picture is that you become a member of Meridian with a token of N4000, that is all that is expected of you, now when you come in with that N4000, what benefit have you got, did you just bring the N4,000 and dump for Meridian, no, you brought N4000 and Meridians say you are entitled to their services, like the medical service, the trade and skill acquisition, the trade and skill acquisition, leadership and human management. and everything”.

Explaining the rationale behind the leadership and human management scheme on the network, Madu emphasised that, “we believe that if you know how to make money, you should also know how to handle money, there are many people who have made money and the money flies away, so if you know how to make money, you should also know how to manage money so leadership and management is a serious matter”.
