You killed a snake that could easily help you earn money by tourism. We kill plenty money making opportunities in this country. MEANWHILE IT would make sense to start saving 'small small' towards yuletide expenses oh. With the way Nigeria is going and the inflation doing anyhow, would it not make sense to save even 10K OR More every month towards December If you save 10K monthly by December you would have 40K + Interest (more than you bank can ever give you for saving). Make a smart choice. Go and save with Octa today and earn higher returns Simply download the app, create a savings goal or transfer to your Octa account number. Octa is owned by Page Financials.

I watched every single game those boys played. It was so great to be a Nigerian then.. My greatest match will always be Ngr vs Brazil when we were 1-3 down at halftime. See stars na, bebeto, Ronaldo, r. Carlos, Dida, Rivaldo, amarao. Leave story.. Argentina, Ortega, chamot, Lopez Mexico.. Na only the GK Jorge Campos I can remeber, and Garcia Aspe. |
