GabsonFX2:
Now Officially a PRIME TRADER FOR FTMO

---

I woke up this morning to see that FTMO has now considered me to be their official PRIME TRADER, I'm so emotional right now.
As I mentioned before, I graduated from bronze tier to silver tier to gold tier, and to platinum tier, now I'm an FTMO official PRIME TRADER.

Years of struggles, learning, unlearning, relearning, frustrations, sleepless nights, all have become success today.

See all the requirements and benefits attached to becoming a prime trader. My next ladder is going to be supreme trader.

Wow! Congratulations 🎉 Big boss you're damn inspirational. May God continue to lift you up and many more here.

You give us hope and strength to continue grinding even when things look bleak.

You and infofirst has been our Lightbearer and we will continue to celebrate you.

I believe and pray many more successful traders emerges here and join you at the top Ameen.

Once again Big Congratulations 🎉.

GabsonFX2:
Since they blocked and banned my facebook account from their 5ers 3days ago. I used my wife's account to do many posts this morning and caught the attention of several others, I also let everyone know that the admin would block me. Lo and behold, after about 45mins of engagement left and right, they blocked my wife's account as well.
However, some people already took screenshots and started reposting

Good. I also I have posted on twitter. This idiot only like to take away from traders but refused when the table turns.

This is firm that's almost rank top in propfirmmatch website. This is pathetic.

GabsonFX2:
I have always believed in 100% technical analysis than fundamental, if I may, I would say 90% technical, 10% fundamental. I think Gold has seen all its peak high atm, however, technical would tell me what the news is saying.

Hope you are doing great brother.

I am doing pretty fine big boss thanks.

Definitely it was technical playing big time with gold now. But I still think the bullish hasn't completely vanish.

There's likelyhood it resumes back to bullish run.

GabsonFX2:
Expect gold spike at market open tomorrow, about 1,750.0 pips

Glad I've been on buy in all my accounts running hundreds of pips before Friday market close

Big boss don show face again o. Abeg you see this chart even before market open later today

I can see the price had spike already. Gold is going Gaga next week.

cr7lomo:
And he decided to embarrass him on the pitch in front of the camera and fans ....who does that ...they were 3 goals up and where sure of victory...why dint he wait till they get to the dressing room...and talk to him with respect....instead of point f8ngers at him and screaming at him...even when Ndidi capo tried to intervene, he slapped his hands off

Bro nobody is supporting the way Osimhen reacted on the pitch and thank God these guys has moved past that incident as you can see they are both the first to jumped on themselves to celebrate their subsequent goals/win.

Why after bygone this guy wey his analysis and commentary was extremely wack started saying is becos of that Lookman didn't perform again. How? Oliseh should go and see down everything apart from him playing is wack, is not his calling. He's just causing one wahala or the other whenever he open is mouth.

Putindbutt:
https://soccernet.ng/2026/01/victor-osimhen-nigria-afcon-sunday-oliseh.html

Why this Oliseh doesn't know anything except to always cause wahala in the name of analysis nosense.

Osimhen outburst is borne out of desire to have a better team and demonstrated it in the following match which is good for team. How can u started saying rubbish.

This is a man that single handed destroyed SE when given the manager which led to abruptly exit of enyema and achieve nothing there. Started saying rubbish now again.

bid4rich:
1. In the beginning, I thought Fubara is wise but I was wrong.....

2. He thought his trouble will be over by decamping to APC but alas, it just started.

3. He turned his back to his parent (PDP) by lashing out to them, now, he is fighting with a Wi(c)ke(d) man.

If the impeachment succeed, he is completely finished...

It can't succeed that's fact. Wike and is ilk are just wasting their time. Fubara will definitely enjoy Federal backing together with APC NWC unlike during pdp.

Tinubu will want to cut excessiveness of Wike this time around. It is just matter of digging out one of his skeleton in cupboard through efccc and he will be battling court cases and possible arrest. The day Fubara joined APC he has checkmated Wike influence.

Bobloco:

Lol... his price tag is over demanding beyond his political influence, thinking is alpha and omega in Kano politics now. A simple discord with his godson can break his movement and leave him less value.

Politics is about give and take, compromise and aligning your priorities. I don't know why his difficult for this wannabe politicians to take a look at what is helping Tinubu politically. He understood these principles to teeth and that's why he's having A1 in politics now. With the mentality of this man of over estimating himself will end up achieving nothing on national level. You need to be a good negotiator, thorough one at that to move up the ladder.

Superwave16320:
Nothing Obi can do in this whole wide world can earn him the presidency without Kwankwaso deputizing him. That is the only ticket that can shake Tinubu a little.

All other permutations is null n void, so make up you mind. You can not eat your cake n have it, it is either Obi as the presidency without Kwankwaso hanging over his head or he never get to be president.


ɗ

While I might partly agree about that Obi/Kwankwaso ticket but present scenerio does not permit that to likely happen.

Northerner are skeptical about Obi presidency especially given the fact he will like to do two terms before power shift back to north. They will rather choose to endure more 4 years of Tinubu presidency than support that ticket.

Also, I don't know why such haste in Obi going for president now? his surest path to presidency is him deputize first a popular northern candidate then riding on his back just like Tinubu strategy. And last election was most apt time for it but was squandered. I don't even know if such can work again against Tinubu as president and with over two third governors in his fold. May God give us the best Ameen.

Hi

manuelkel:
Unarguably, he's got a bad attitude, but something triggers such attitude.
Osimhen is hungry and thirst for more, as a center forward it's annoying when your teammates become indecisive when pressuring.
Is it a big deal to just pass when necessary?
I've watched a lot of his matches, he overreacts when you don't give him what he wants which is the ball.
Just give him the ball when you are sidelined by an opponent, he's always there, always in the right angles.
Also, have Osimhen ever scold Lookman when he(Lookman) scores?? Infact Osimhen is always the fess to run to his wingers when they score.
But just give him the ball when you're sidelined, don't gamble a 1vs1 display when pressuring knowing quite well Osimhen has the space, he's spaced brilliantly, he will also point to you the spaces, don't gamble a 1vs1 display give him the ball. Then if eventually you gamble right and score he will be happy, but if you don't it annoys him because he sees it as a clear miss of chances.
I played CF role, it's annoying when your wingers are indecisive and gamble with opportunities like this after the runnings and energy wasted. Same reason Wayne Rooney overreacted at old Trafford .
I saw someone who mentioned that teams don't want him because of his attitude, that's a fact lie. A big fat lie!!

I love your brilliant submission. At least this is somewhat closer to the truth and I can understand why to some extent Osimhen behave like that but still he needs to be less confrontational with his teammates especially lookman they seems to understand each other better in the front.

We wish them the very best in this competition. Btw who are meeting for the quarter final match.

infofirst:
The weekend that will be sweet. It is from Friday we go know. The year that will be great, we can tell from January.

Fam, after USA ban and drought in prop firm for me since 2024. I am glad to announce that I am back again.

I got a small withdrawal today and felt highly motivated.

Congratulations 🎉 boss. More withdrawals to come God willing.

H
It's like you are the ignorant here. Vat has always been 7.5% for more than 5 years now

Infact I have to go and check if VAT has been increase, but I found out that it still 7.5%.

She has to cry out loud for a gullibles so as to look like a new things. The New Tax reform is actually lower for both PIT and CIT. They only want to expand the tax net so more people can be paying tax especially the wealthy individuals and large corporations.

Surprisingly, it is large majority that on lower and middle class that are making noise, and they are even major beneficiary.

infofirst:
We are not made for the law but. Law made for us. I think with the look of things, We should not go with that idea of someone not hosting more than once. If the person deserve to host. So be it.
And @Alexas58 keeps looking like the right person to host it in my opinion. Yeah host this year but if he deserves it. I believe he should get it.

If more than one person deserves it. Then we go to the poll to elect.

Exactly Boss mi, he almost single handedly keep the forum going this year 2025 when it seems the engagement is very low.

Not really about organizing contest only but at least visibly engaged to keep it going. It just about the energy he has put into it. Every other member are equally entitle to lead but it just that he somewhat standout and really committed to steer the affair of FTA once more. But if anyone still show interest let there be an election then.

JasonNOTStatham:
I read your point of view. If the pass rate of a 2 step account is 1 in 10 chances. Taking $75 per 10K challenge, that would mean $750 in spending to get to funded stage... With 8% + 5% in the two phases will amount to 1,300 worth of unwithdrawable profit generated.

I think not many people view it the way you do, and I'm afraid I'm one of them 😢

Yes many are not viewing that way but I bet you 90% of so called influencer or guru plied that route. It may not be up to 10 but something like 3/4 challenges at a time, they definitely win one to funded stage.

Actually, it is lack of fund that make people not doing this here. But majority of traders in Europe or America employ this route because there's somewhat more fund available for them to invest. Its one of the best approach but without financial backbone is very difficult. I remembered Gabsonfx always purchase at least three challenge account same time knowing fully well one will get to funded stage. I think boss inforfirst normally traded multiple accounts same time also.

I think is a good approach provided you already have solid edge.

Trade and Think like a champion

Congratulations 💐 Keep soaring boss.

blackgold2018:
very correct. Every Nigeria knows if Tinubu succeeds in completing his 8yrs. After he must have bought both his 1st and 2nd election. Tinubu must make his stooge a successor. All his stooges will be planted in all arms of the government. He will implicate what he did in Lagos on national level

So to stop that from happening it’s either he looses his next election or a military coup.

This can never happen at federal level. While he might have influence in his stooge to be installed after him, it can't sustain for long before that will revoke most of his unpopular policy especially affecting the northerner if power shift.

So that can't be replicated on national level due to that ethnic background. Look at what late President Yaradua did after assuming office. He reversed most of Obj policies

casualobserver:
So long as you accept that it is in Nigeria where he standards have fallen, where people like Rufai parade themselves as journalists that Kperogi is a leading light, then we are on the same page.

My standards are the standards set when I was growing up by some of the professors I listed above, not the standards of today which I guess are your standards. A man like Kperogi would never get beyond senior lecturer in the Nigerian universities of old….such were the standards. And by the way, you become senior lecturer as a matter of length of service not brilliance.

The professors I listed above taught only in the elite universities abroad. In those days Nigeria recruited only from he elite universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, mit, Yale, LSE etc. you will not get a job as a lecturer in ABu, UI, Ife, Unilag with a degree from anything other than an Ivy League university. In fact you were better of graduating from UI, Unilag ABU, Ife etc than graduating from a 2nd tier university abroad. That was those days! Many of them are dead or retired now.

Lol.... we're literally saying the same thing now.

The general standard of education in Nigeria has fallen drastically, and you cannot compare those professors of old which majority of them got there degrees abroad or be taught by thorough bred professor here in Nigeria. FOI I finish my first degree over two decades ago not more than 5 when Kperogi got his.

You may be older though but in the context of Nigeria socio political discourse today, Kperogi has established is solid footing.

Thank you for your time.

casualobserver:
Amongst which peers? That’s the issue! Which peer rates a professor in a 3rd or 4th rate university rate?

If he were a leading light he would not be teaching at Kennesaw state university. None of the professors in Nigerians leading universities plied their trade in 2nd or 3rd rate universities. Even when things got hard and some went abroad they were employed by the Harvard’s, Columbia’s Oxford and Cambridges of this world.

You need to understand or theythat in academia your CV is everything. Once you taint it with Kennesaw state university, nobody reckons with you.

He may be a force in Nigeria as per country of the blind but not internationally, not even in America where he teaches, else he would have moved to a better university or they would have head hunted him

Kperogi is like the japa who cleans toilets abroad then comes back to spend pounds at Xmas and people think he is a big guy abroad and doing well.

You're still saying same thing bro.

Okay pls furnish us with A rated university abroad those you listed above are teaching excluding the notable ones. Like I told you earlier, I am not claiming Kperogi is Elite of sort but yet he's class of his own either you like it not especially in Nigeria political analyst context.

casualobserver:
You asked for 2.

Professor Taslim Elias law
Professor Wole Soyinka arts
Professor JF Ade Ajayi history
Professor Akinjogbin. history
Professor Animalu, Ezeilo
Professor Adegoke geology
Professor Fafunwa Education
Professor Mabogunje geography
Professor iya abubakar maths
Professor Biobaku history
Professor Sam Aluko economics
Professor oliwasanmi agric
Professor Kasunmu law
Professor onwunmechili physics
Professor olubumo
Professor Tejumola
Professor Ishaya Audu medicine

There are many more Nigerian professors acclaimed all over the world in the academic community.

The true test at an academic is your contribution to new knowledge in that field.. Anybody can teach what is already known. Your respect within the academic community is founded on your contribution to new knowledge..hence research It is your pioneering work in that field that turns you into a source of reference and citations. not by writing yeye articles.

There is no university in the world where these men listed above are not recognized and referenced as leading lights in their fields. Who references Kperogi? I can guarantee you just by the pedigree of his university alone that no one knows who korerofi is outside Nigeria even in his own field. If he was a leading light in his field he would not be teaching at kennesaw state university. He is there because that is the university that will employ him. Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Oxford, MIT, LSE etc have liberal arts departments. Nigerians teach and have taught in these universities, why is teaching he in a 3rd or 4th rate university?


You are likely a product of the Nigerian educational system post Babangida era and people like you don’t know the difference. I can guarantee you that if any of those professors gave you a letter of recommendation to any top university in the world, you will be admitted such is their status. Kperugi’s name means nothing except in Nigeria. The anigerian professors abroad who are rated amongst their peers don’t have time to interfere with what’s going on in Nigeria. Kperogi needs Nigeria to be relevant because he is not rated amongst his peers abroad.

Thank you for your time in listing all these laudable Professors.

Firstly, kperogi is not in the league of many professors you listed above but he's equally a force to reckon with among his peers. And again comparing with elite Professor like Prof. Wole Soyinka is argument taking so far.

Instead of showing us where is teaching currently, I would have love you to show us his any of research publications and citations, if there's any relevant of his academic scholarship or not than where is lecturing.

Once again thank you but know that even if kperogi is not among elitist, he's not mediocre as you are trying to portray him.

Jammythebless:
This man is dam brilliant, this is unaggureablly one of the best article have read from this man
Infact the best I've read in recent times

For the records am from delta state but my intellectual mind sees beyond the parochial and sentimental attachments on this platform.
I have a cerebral cum objective mind

Exactly bro. His articulation and presentation in that article is top notch sentiment aside.

While I read most of articles, knowing him as someone that has penchant to talk for talk sake most time. I really appreciate is brilliance in that write up.

casualobserver:
The problem I have with people like Koerogi is that mediocrity has taken over our public space.

Draftsmen parade themselves as Architects.

Quacks hold the title of professor. Someone tell me his contribution to scholarly work in his field!

In my time Nigerian professors were globally recognized authorities in their field. Go and verify, in my time a lecturer or professor from the 3rd rate American university where he teaches would never be employed in a Nigerian university. Go and verify!

I am sorry bro your response is muddle in envy and jealous.

He has brilliantly pointed out some subtle but
important and deep insight even veteran politicians might even miss yet in a succinctly cohesive articles like this. And you're here yearn dust about his scholarship.

Can you pls tell us one or two of professors of yours that are written or contribute to national discourse to examine your claim of excellence?. Or perhaps your own articles of equal measure.

GoatFunded:
Yes it is

Good.

How is Goat blitz differ from Newly launched instant pro? Pros and cons?

Wow! Big Congratulations Alexas58 on your successes left and right. Indeed your confidence is on another level now. I am happy for you and hope you begin raking $$$ payout after payout.

Pls stay safe and calm bro...sky is your beginning not the limit.

If you don't mind pls kindly share your trade history for us to learn from.

Stay blessed!!!

The FERMA Act of 2007 stated that collection of the tax will commence on a date to be determined by the minister of finance. Mr Olawale Edun is the minister of finance.

It must be suspended forever all else that singular policy will bring their entire government down and they will never get second term. It is a criminal and unpopular policy.

It shows their lack of empathy and total insensitive to plight of common man.

qleap2all:
Unfortunately it has come to stay after being Gazetted, it becomes effective January, 2026! Nigeria and Nigerians are blessed!

You know what the curse will continue to abide with this govt. either spoken or unspoken by people because it is criminal.

I have never been critical of this govt. but with this.

qleap2all:
Everyone wants cheap things But has never called out fellow skyrocketing profit oriented transporters who enjoys government subsidies on CNG fitted vehicles with cheap CNG but yet refuses to reduce transport cost!
If not for FG and LASG cheap rail transport, they (transporters) would have collected all my salary!

Off course they many people or organization that are partner in crime to all these but the govt should be part of them again. They suppose to be looking out how to ameliorate the suffering of citizenry not compounding it

Yes transport system must be cheap and affordable to common man that practice in all developed world. And it part of their obligation to people. That yeye and stupid tax policy must not see the light of the day. It is criminal, inhumane and devilish to introduce such tax now.

qleap2all:
Nigerians are always resisting good government policies without deep Insight of the program and the future!
The 5% tax is not new at all! Let them close business if they can, the purpose of the tax is to control consumption!

So the level of control achieve thru subsidy removal is not enough. They don't any Nigerian to move out with cars again. While paying for high exorbitant transport fare. Does that diminish or improve our quality of our lives? We are retrogression every day in Nigeria.

If they want real control let them establish a good transport system in all major cities which is cheaper, efficient and safe. Then people will natural go for public transport and shun buying pms instead then can achieve that, not this useless tax that will further improvise many Nigerians.
