I never thought I was goin to join the league of FTC. I must say, this is a dream come true. I also wanna thank MTN for providin me with fast network (altho dem dey fvck up sometimes sha), then I wanna thank oga Seun for this wonderful platform. Lots of gratitude also goes to my mum for everythin she's done and is doin for me » you must eat the fruit of your labour. I also appreciate my family, friends, foes and critics. Without you all, I wouldn't have achieved this great feat. It feels great to be at the top. And as for you all that are hopin to achieve this feat, persistence is the key. Jux believe in urself and u will get here. In no distant time, you're going to shout FTC just like ur predecessors and I have done!!! @topic: Talk about hard currency! I'll get there

You still didn't get me. Separating them is not the issue. Let them look itemized. There's a sample in my previous comment. There's space between number 10 and number 9 down to number 7. I also made the names bold. It looks pleasant to a reader that way unlike when they look clustered. No p if you can't modify it. I'm just saying.
