this company is just getting close to pit, Ur case today is getting close to Google index, The screenshot will be out soon, continue the drama, U and this client have been transacting, you have been receiving money and you have also be crediting his btc account, then today u are telling us someone have lured the client to pay to your account for his btc order... if its this case that means the scammer must have placed an order that is equal to the order of this client right? now its very simple, you look for the order your self that is matching this client, you dont need anyone to help you get this done within 5mins......but note that if its gets to 1hour before you provide this, that means u must have gone to the back end to create an order to match this... but trust us...... U go dey create more problem for urself.

You are simply quoting what vizboy said,since this debacle started you have avoided answering directly whether the account is urs or u received it . In clear terms now you do admit that THE MONEY DID INDEED ENTER YOUR COMPANY BANK ACCOUNT.
The next question now is where did the money go? You should have a record, because the bank transaction has the name of the person that paid and the amount he paid ,therefore you must be able to locate who claimed the money
Logical reasoning. Its clear the Company is a scam.....

Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Ambassador To Turkey Is Shot Dead. 'We Die In Aleppo, You Die Here'. by Appleyard(m): 10:52am On Dec 20, 2016
DAramis:
At the bolded, do you really think that he will intervene going by his rethorics of America first in every thing he will do?l
Seeks your opinion for clearer understanding.
Well, if there is one thing that I can vouch for Trump on his behalf, is that, he is going to be a real nemesis to most of the countries in the MidEast. That man has no love for islam, but that doesn't mean there would be no sort of intervention by his administration at some point in the future.

Regarding foreign policy in general and the Middle East in particular, Donald Trump, as the new president of the United States, would stand out as the most unpredictable man to have occupied this position ever since his country started deploying an overseas imperial policy in the late 19th century.

Trump has contradicted himself and changed positions or tone on several issues time and again during the electoral campaign. Judging, however, by a few key elements that he persistently reiterated over the past year, here is what can be guessed at this point about the way his presidency may affect the Middle East in terms of active or passive intervention:

The Syrian people will be the first to suffer from his election. The doors of the United States will be slammed shut in the face of would-be Syrian refugees, with maybe an exception made for Christians as Trump's agitation against Syrian refugees has always centred around Islamophobia.

To stop altogether the outflow of refugees from Syria, Trump has advocated the creation of a "safe zone" within the country's borders, where Syrian displaced persons would be concentrated rather than allowed to go abroad as refugees. He boasted that he would make the Arab Gulf states pay for this as he would make Mexico pay for the wall that he intends to build on the border between the two countries. Again, with Russia on ground in Syria, expect the Trumpster to look the other way-we all know how he feels about Russia and Putin.


Secondly,Trump will inaugurate a new policy of friendship and collaboration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, based on accommodating Russia's interests. In the Middle East, this includes accepting Russia's role in Syria as positive and supporting Bashar al-Assad's regime as the lesser evil. Meaning that a less active intervention is likely in the MidEast under Trump.

The collaboration with Russia and Assad would logically involve demanding from the United States' traditional allies in the region that they cease supporting the Syrian armed opposition. Washington would then co-sponsor with Moscow a Syrian "coalition government" that would include conciliationist "opposition" members. This could open the way to US collaboration with the Assad regime in the name of the "war on terror".

Pursuing the policy of favouring "strong men" in power, which he shares with Putin, Trump will want to improve Washington's relations with both Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He may try to mend fences between the two men and coax them into adhering to a joint effort against "terrorism" that would accept each president's definition of what he regards as terrorism in his own country.
Since Trump is poised to antagonise Iran by revoking the nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration, he may even try to entice Saudi Arabia into joining what would emerge as a Sunni triangle of Ankara, Cairo and Riyadh backed by Washington.

Herein lies the principal inconsistency in Trump's vision for the Middle East (whereas his hostile stance towards China is the principal inconsistency of his global vision): overcoming it requires luring both Moscow and the Assad regime into breaking with Tehran.

Lastly, another regional "strong man" whose relations with Washington will greatly improve under Trump is Benjamin Netanyahu. Thus, another direct victim of Trump's election will be the Palestinian people as Netanyahu will be given more of a free hand in dealing with them than any Israeli prime minister has had since Ariel Sharon in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.


I can tell you one thing brother, Trump's presidency is definitely going to be one hell of great deals and HUGE cross-atlantic aggregation of national interest as against corporate interests...

The big losers would be the establishment at some point....Which could lead to more chaos and anarchy, as they won't lie back and watch their influence and years of capitalist control dissipated by reenactment of state sovereignty.


Dangerous times ahead....

MONITZ:
Nor mind them, they re rogues. It might interest u to know that a very similar example of Syria's case was exactly Wat happened in Bahrain during the Arab spring movement.The only difference is that Assad is an Alawite, which is a sub-sect of the shite group of Islam in a majorly Sunni country and this is clearly y Saudi Arabia, a Sunni country wants Assad out by any means.

On the other hand, Bahrain is majorly Shite with a Sunni minority in power with Saudi Arabia and the U. S. A supporting them.If the U. S re really about democracy, wat did they do wen the Bahraini issue came up? the people of Bahrain were agitating that the AL Khalifa dynasty which has been in power for the past 200+ years to step down so that elections can hold, bt the dynasty wants none of that and the citizens were mowed down with armoured tanks supplied by Germany and Saudi Arabia,which in its self is a war crime,and expectedlythe almighty U.S.A turned a blind eye to all these atrocities because the largest of all their bases in the Middle East is in Bahrain, they even went ahead to organise a formula 1 event in the heat of the crises to create a false impression that all was well the country.

Those in support of the U. S. A re either too dumb to accept that uncle Sam is the biggest evil and threat to world peace or they re clearly in a self-denial mode.

It is ironical that Russia which ve been accused of being a threat to world peace re now the ones preaching peace and the need to do things with respect to laid down procedures and guidelines so that a bad precedent is not set.

The subtle invasion. of Syria by Uncle Sam is one too many, before then we had Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan invasions with Iran to follow suit before things were sorted out,nir forgetting also that most Regimes change in the continent of southern America were orchestrated by Uncle Sam like the one that happened in Brazil very recently and in sharp contrast how many countries ve Russia invaded?

America re always at the fore front of the concept of "Might Is Right".....With the Philippines president,Maduro suddenly seeing the "light" and insulting Obama of being the child of a LovePeddler,who does that before now to dare insult a sitting American president?,with Russia's defiance over Syria, expect more countries to dare America and align with Russia because the log of wood in their eyes is falling off gradually.

A lot more of Americans re unaware of the dubious dealings of Uncle Sam, they re fed with lies by the main stream media which propagates only those things they want the citizens to know, everything is shrouded in secrecy. America is gradually turning into a quasi - police state with all their swank of being the most democratic nation on earth.......

Americans should be the ones to adhere to this admonition ,they ve caused more wars than peace, from being the first to remove a democratically elected president of Panama in the person of Noriega in the 90's to instigating unrests in other nations. Bt among those two accusations,the one that easily takes the icing on the cake was the jailing of a democratically elected president,he was jailed for drug running and he's still in jail Where,how had we seen a thing like that?It was unheard of before the U S did, they always pass the message of "Might being right".

He was abducted in a most bizarre manner with total disregard for extant laws and principles guiding inter- nations' relationships with one another and taken to the U. S, to face criminal charges. The U. S re always setting bad precedents and wen other rogue countries want to take a cue from them, u see them screaming blue murder.

With the way things re presently, the U. S re more dangerous to world peace that any other nation. Never knew there would come a time wen Russians would be the ones preaching Human Rights to the world....

VeeBabs:
You seem to be feeding on too much CNN served with Al Jazeera, and washed down with BBC.

Here's what is certainly, definitely, absolutely sure about Syria.

1) It was the most liberal and prosperous Arab country in the Middle East.

2) 40% of the population is Syria is/was Christian, and Syrian Christians enjoyed the most secure environment in all of the Arab world.

3) The countries openly sponsoring and arming rebels against Assad to provide "freedom" are definitions of dictatorships themselves: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and UAE.

4) Syria is / was a democracy but none of these countries mentioned above is a democracy, and they none has any intentions of becoming a democracy in the near future.

5) US and NATO "freedom" delivered to Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan have transformed those countries into paradises. So they really want to bring paradise to Syria, too.

Look, regardless of which news source you choose to believe, one last thing is sure: SYRIA WAS BETTER OFF FIVE YEARS AGO THAN IT CAN EVER BE IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

The scale of the destruction is such that will require a century just to rebuild infrastructure to pre-war levels.

And if not for Russia's intervention, Syria would have been bombed into oblivion by "America and the Gang".

Syrians set out to protest / remove a dictator in 2011, but ended up totally destroying their country.

That's FREEDOM...dropped from the sky...from America planes...with love.

I thank God for Russia.

Without RUSSIA, this world would become a playground for the warmongering "Freedom Bringers" from the West.

But Russia can't do it all alone. The Chinese are not ready to weigh in, despite suffering their own antagonism from the West. The Indians are too busy sitting on the fence.

Ever wondered why they keep imposing sanctions on Russia for no just reason?

Putin is badly spoiling their plans.

America and Europe are very angry with Russia because of this.
I have to quote you because, so far, you're one of the few people making sense here. A lot of folks don't understand how propaganda works, and what reality is all about. People just easily fall for the crap they hear from MSM which are deeply under control and manipulation. The greatest wars fought today are the once in the media-the quickest and most effective avenue to conquer the will of people by first obfuscating their mindsets, reshaping their mental disposition, warping their beliefs and then completely obliterating their sense of factual reasoning and logical perception. This is what is called Total Brainwashing by the most Intense and formidable tool of mind control -- MEDIA PROPAGANDA!


So, its a good thing that you are educating some of the victims down here. Otherwise, many people will continue to hail the United States of Abomination, Abomicity and Abomilocal government for all the hell-havoc it has committed in the name of airdropping freedom from the skies-spreading demo-crazy, forgetting that even the US is not a democracy to begin with.

Therefore, keep up the good work, brother. People must be liberated from western institute of delusive propaganda.

I can't help you with a list of blogs and websites. My niche and specialty is different from yours, after all. I started freelancing in August this year, and in that period I've worked my way from writing 500 words for $5 to writing same for $40-50. Here's the catch, I stayed off content mills and shitty platforms.

Stop thinking of yourself as a worker; think of yourself as a brand. Create a network of freelancers from across all niches, market yourself. That's the only way you'll get out of writing for places like iWriter.

I know that my copy and content will translate directly into high lead generation and conversions, so I charge appropriately. I know my value to the client, do you know yours? Freelancing, and capitalism as a whole, depends on the provision of value. You're only worth the amount of value you provide, and trust me, writing 500 words on how to repair a roof provides pretty much zero value.

For starters, I'd tell you to find a niche you enjoy writing on. Pitch blogs and websites, if only so you have work published in your name.

It seems to be the hard road, and I'm sure you think writing for iWriter makes things easier for you. It really doesn't.
I think i have fully grasp what you are saying....I have my own personal website that am now currently working on, an i hope to make it a rich-filled working one. Like you said, its not always easy, but the end justifies the means.

Go out there, pitch blogs, websites and startups. Make good money.
Please, Kindly help us with a list of those blogs and websites you think are much better than iwriter, that should come in handy for some of us here.

I think i must agree with you on the issue of "no control" on what you write...That's one real let down about the site. Some requesters are truly WICKED....Even when you write the best articles, they will still tell you that you did nothing, after they must have stolen your work.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Takes Delivery Of The F-35Adir by Appleyard(m):
ValerianSteel:
Egypt had a variant of the S-300 stationed in Gaza.The modified versions of the F-15 & F-16 took out two batteries last year.
What are these before my eyes cool fantasy or delusion. Can't tell but only by simple logic.

The claim: Israel took out two S300 batteries last year...

The Fact: Just this year alone, Benjamin NetanyaHoo had travelled to Russia four times, and one of the things discussed is to prevent the transfer of the S300 to Syria, because it would cover the entire airspace of Israel. cool

Logic: if Israel is already capable of taking out the S300, why should Netanyahoo still be trying hard to convince Russia not to deliver it to Syria? Maybe Clinton can answer that...

Logic2: Why is Israel still complaining and mad at Russia about Iran getting the same missile defence system, if they are more than capable of killing them?


Now, the other claim:

1. That Egypt stationed an S300 battery missile in Gaza.

2. That Israel took this batteries out....

3. Because it was covering Hezbollah weapon movement....

Facts: Egypt and Israel have no beef currently. So, what happened?

Facts: Eqypt is not sympathetic to the Course of Hezbollah.... So, how come she is suddenly covering for Hezbollah? Questions for the gods of wikileaks.grin

Facts: No Western MSM even carried the news.... Considering how much they hate Putin, Trump and Russia, that would have been great and terrific front page news on BBSin, CNN, NYT, The Guardian, Aljaazeera, etc. How come it wasn't? cool

And since Gaza has been sharing boundaries with Egypt, what incident happened that it suddenly became a priority to station missile batteries over there? Pls, I want to know....What is Gaza to Egypt?


Well, after careful review and logical reasoning, I could only conclude that you are a WHITE LIVERED LIAR!

Timbuktuo:
Appleyard, thank you for your observations. If you notice, it's the Democrats here who are incapable of entertaining an opposing view. Any contrary new to theirs is considered an affront to their intellect, but we know that opinions must be questioned for them to be accorded 'fact' status. Discussion of various ideas also usually leads to consensus through fine-tuning of opinions as nobody is an island of knowledge.

Democrats, who claim to be liberal, progressive and chpions of diversity are obviously nothing but thought tyrants who feel they have moral/intellectual superiority over people who see things differently to them. They then attempt to shut down debate by disingenuous virtue signalling by calling opponents racist, misogynists. Here, their daddy LucasBalo will quickly call you an American wannabe, a term that those who oppose Trump aren't qualified for, forgetting that it makes no sense for an American wannabe to support Trump considering his stance on immigration. But this is Lucas we're talking about here, a person who is as alien to critical, logical thought as Trump is to Islam.

Then they will tell you alternative sources of information aren't credible because those sources see and engage the world differently than they. It's comedy at its finest, I tell you. They spin everything Trump does negatively and expect that nobody calls them out on it, because they think they have all the answers. Jokers.

[b]Me, I will say I am overjoyed Hillary lost, if for no other reason than the aversion of a totally needless war with Russia whose end noone could have predicted. [/b]Anybody that doesn't like it can go and do the needful. grin
At the bolded, that was the primary reason I was following the entire election. A lot of people really are not aware of what was at stake should Clinton win. So many think it was a joke, even to the extent that the cosmic have to get involve prior to the election. Many are simply unaware of the forces that shape and control the world we live.

A lot of simpletons down here who are unaware of reality, are the ones calling for a certified warmongering machine to lead as president--yeah, they may have their reasons as well, but NOTHING else is greater than SECURITY OF LIVES--and that 's the reality with Trump, who made it clear that THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN RUSSIA WORKS, unlike in some countries that only make mouth.

That's the reality. But some people think you can actually create a No Fly Zone in the skies where the Russian airforce is operating, without risking a confrontational line capable of WW3.


I tell you: delusion is an incomprehensible disease.

And anyone who doesn't like the current development can go and take up arms along ISIS. The Russians would be there waiting.

PoliticsRe: Senate Cuts Down President’s Control Of Nigeria Police Force by Appleyard(m): 6:02pm On Dec 13, 2016
CFCman:
This proposal should definitely come with strong checks and balances to prevent Governors from abusing the law. I'm afraid the governors could essentially turn the state police commands into their own private armies; gubernatorial opponents could be arrested on the flimsy orders of an incumbent governor.

I'd limit the powers of the governor ove the police to convening security meetings with the Commissioner of Police, DCPs and ACPs, and reshuffling police officers to areas where policing is inadequate. The governor shall have NO power to order the arrest of an individual or individuals.

Furthermore, I also believe the appointment of the Inspector General of Police (and Deputy Inspectors General of Police) should be subject to the advice and consent (confirmation) of the Senate. This would ensure that the IGP and the DIG's aren't simply lapdogs of Aso Rock. Senate confirmation should also be required for the appointment of the heads of the Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Prisons Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, DSS, FRSC, NIA, and DIA.

Also, the Commissioners of Police (or DCPs, if the CPs aren't available) should be required to brief members of the state houses of assembly on a quarterly basis, on the general security condition of the respective states.
I support all the check and balances you have suggested so far. But what I would like to see being done, is making the police completely independent or at least, subject only to legislative control.

Again, I would also want the Senate to look into the issue of the immunity clause as enshrined in the constitution. The essence of the clause for maintaining the smooth running of government has been completely defeated, as most members of the executive have turned it to an avenue of siphoning state funds and abusing governmental powers and processes while in office.

Thus, the change should read as follow:

" where there is a case of financial misconduct, fiscal irresponsibility and murder, the immunity clause shall not count."

This would further give powers to the police and the relevant authorities such as the EFCC to adequately tackle the issue of executive financial recklessness and criminality.


Notwithstanding, what the senate is current doing relating to the police, is a step in the right direction.

Looking at this two teams, one would discovered that there is a certain schism that lingers in football. Monaco has always fared well in football against English sides. And most times that they have met English oppositions in the knockout stages, they have crossed over to qualify for the next round. Currently they are top of lique 1, while the same cannot be said for Man city who have been struggling lately. Unless the guadiola side recruit in January and rediscover their form, they can kiss the premier league goodbye, and since they will be playing on January with the premier league at the back of their mind as they try to close down on inform Chelsea; Monaco should have the upper hand in terms of psychology. And as a team, they are far more organized than Man city.

Verdict: Monaco to go through on aggregate goals scored.



Real M vs Napoli.

Thougj the Naples club is in fine form, they are however no match for the galaticos. Meetings, Bilic and Hamsik should give the Real defence some tough times, but Madrid superiority lies in the midfield and also in individual qualities that can win any match at anytime.

Verdict: Real to Win both legs.




Benfica vs Dortmund.

Here are two teams that almost evenly matched in every aspect of their play. Both full of flare, attacking and possession gameplay. The only difference is that, Dortmund is more compact and more matured than Benfica.

Verdict: bet on goals over 2.5 for both legs. Dortmund should sneak it.


Bayern Munich vs Arsenal


Its like the curse of the field (opposite of Ghandaf) will continue to be played yet again on the miserable soccer live of Arsenal that haven't won a MAJOR title since Genesis Chapter One. cheesy mostly after the era of the Henrys, Viera, etc. The have a very poor record against German oppositions, especially against Munich. And am not seeing it changing so soon. They will have to need extra 3 to stop Bayern terrorist attacking concept.

Verdict: Bayern to go through on both legs. Over 1.5 goals in both legs.



Porto vs Juventus

Juventus are not just called the old lady of Italy for nothing sake. This is one of the oldest and among the most decorated in the game. Juventus currently sit on top the Seria a table, and so won't be thinking much about the other teams catching up, while playing Porto. Porto on the other hand does not have the class and type of fire power Juve has. They will certainly try, but they can't prevail at the end.

Verdict: Juve to go through, and first leg should favour them also.
PoliticsRe: External Reserves Hit Three Month High Near $25bn by Appleyard(m): 1:53am On Dec 13, 2016
malton:
Mediocrity you call it?

Your hero met over 40 billion US dollars in foreign exchange account and the excess crude account at over 20 billion US dollars. With oil selling over 100 dollars per barrel almost throughout his reign, imagine if he added roughly 2 billion US dollars every two months.

That will leave you with what? 2 x 30 = 60 + 47 = 107 billion US dollars. That's asides the 20 billion in the excess crude account.

But what did we end up having? He left 32 billion US dollars in Forex account and almost nothing in ECA.

So, where did the $75b go? How about the $20b?

This is despite having that overated woman in glasses as coordinating minister for the economy within the same period.

What's your definition of mediocrity again?
Maybe his definition of mediocrity is "regional zombie-ism". The reckless spending and free-to air-looting of the last maladministration is the reason why we are where we are today. Only zombies would suggest otherwise.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Appleyard(m):
Timbuktuo:
The same USA that actually sponsored and oversaw the coup of a democratically elected government in Ecuador is weeping and gnashing their teeth at a mere hack of emails. USA of the "we came, we saw, he died" fame? Same USA? Oh, the horror. Moreover said emails exposed the truth of things no less. All Russia did was put hidden information in the public realm cikenan. How is the source of the information more important than the information itself? Wasn't it this email dump that revealed the humongous unfair play going on in the DNC? I guess DNC members are above moral and ethical constraints. Debbie Shultz is probably somewhere enjoying the proceeds of her dirty dealings. Someone who should have been treated like a leper was actually rewarded with a well-paying job.

Even then, how do we know there was a hack by Russia. They have denied it, and DJT has raised am important point in the CIA's "high confidence", same high confidence that made them so sure of the existence of WMDs in Iraq. grin. Democrats are a bunch of jokers.
He that have an ear, let him hear what the spirit sayeth through the mouth of Timbuktuo....cool

The cry babies are shamelessly talking ONLY about the HACKING, but not about the substance therefrom. Nay, they are not even talking about the unearthed cheat that was going on in the DNC as revealed by the hacked emails. How Bernie Sanders was cheated to the extent he became Belgium Slippers.

None were talking about how so many people who could have represented factual evidence for the shady dealings of the crooked and diabolic Clinton foundation, were turning up dead under mysterious circumstances. Its only the damn emails that matters.

No, they won't bother about how their witch mummy orchestrated the destruction of Libya and revered in the killing of its leader - tacitly creating the enabling environment for their pet project ISIS to emerge, and further the course of their "divide and conquer" hege-de-monic policy.

They will never tell you that their God forsaken and Satan rejected loser mum refused to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization during her diabolic reign as secretary of Satan.

Their ill-informed and MSM propagandized mind was unable to decipher that their most revered mum would have directly pitted US and Russian forces in combat against each other in Syria, bringing the reality of WW3, by virtue of her vehemently proposed 'no fly zone' in another man's country -- something even most US serving military top brass were warning against in a report presented to congress.

But the kids will have here can only gloat about some hacked emails, even when the emails were speaking the truth. And when you remind them of these glaring facts, they tagged you an American wannabe and chide you for daring to discuss American issues--IN A FORUM AND SOCIAL PLATFORM OWN BY A NIGERIAN AND OPERATED FROM NIGERIA.

Talk about sheer arrogance and stupidity.

That basically sums up the kind of obfuscated mindset you have with some people down here, whom when incapable of sound reasoning and logical rebuttal, reverts to direct insult and name calling. But That's how you can tell a kid from an adult-ability to comprehend facts and argue maturely.


And all I see here are whimpering rhetorics emanating from a hypocritical bunch of unhealthy losers.

Delusion is a disease that's worse than ALS, and the reality that set in afterward is a rude awakening to that effect.


Democrats and hypocrisy are like five and six....

Pathetic......
