Been very careful with how i approach relationships

So far so good, i don't think it's likely to happen unless God says otherwise.

BTW, how does people's trading affects anyone directly or indirectly? i mean why are people always attacking eachother?

Anyways,it's not new, when una tire, una go hang for una molue one after the other just like it's been since season 1.

I just thank God first, whatever achievements i achieved and those i didn't achieve, the good lord knows about them. celebrating my 20th year of never stepping into an hospital as a patient. God is faithful!

2013? i must start these businesses by force by fire!

jamace: NFA takes emergency enforcement action against New York forex dealer member, FX Direct Dealer, LLC (FXDD)

December 7, Chicago - National Futures Association (NFA) has ordered FX Direct Dealer, LLC (FXDD) to either post a bond or place funds in an escrow account to ensure that the firm can meet its obligations under any restitution order that may result from a related NFA disciplinary action. The customer restitution is estimated to be $3.3 million. NFA's Business Conduct Committee (BCC) issued a Complaint against FXDD earlier this year, charging that FXDD engaged in price slippage practices that benefitted FXDD to the detriment of customers. Similar cases involving asymmetrical price slippage practices have also resulted in customer restitution. FXDD is a futures commission merchant, retail foreign exchange dealer and forex dealer member of NFA, located in New York, New York.

The Member Responsibility Action (MRA) shall remain in effect until the resolution of the BCC Complaint and upon a final determination of the amount of restitution, if any, that FXDD owes to customers. FXDD may request a prompt hearing on this matter before NFA's Hearing Committee.

The complete text of the MRA is available on NFA's website (www.nfa.futures.org).
The following Compliance staff members are responsible for this case: Sarah A. Walsh (312-781-1202) and Dan Pierson (312-781-1507).

Brokers continue to manipulate their platforms. No wonder forex trading is difficult.

When i commented about this few days ago, some people came down on me raining silly insults on me, just because some of them are ignorant of what these brokers do does not mean those who raise the alarm are doing so because they are losing or because they are not making money. what you don't know, don't talk, rather do your own research.


You all should be weary of the kinda broker you trade with. Aguiyi is still here to remind some of us how his money was stolen by his former broker.

The problem here is that most of the 107 goals can't be verified or is there a way to verify these goals?

No serious ex and never am i gonna have an ex (By God's grace)

Lady: Do you smoke?
Man: Yes
Lady: How many packs a day?
Man: 3 packs
Lady: How much per pack
Man: £10.00
Lady: And how long have you been
smoking?
Man: 15 years
Lady: So 1 pack cost £10.00 and you
have 3 packs a day which puts your
spending each month at £900. In
one year, it would be £10,800
correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: If in 1 year you spend
£10,800 not accounting for inflation,
the past 15 years puts your
spending at £162,000 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: Do you know that if you
hadn't smoked, that money could
have been put in a step-up interest
savings account and after
accounting for compound interest
for the past 15 years, you could
have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you smoke?
Lady: No
Man: Where's your fuc..king Ferrari then?

Hehehehe, lose faith? when we have already lost cynthia, bose, iyabo,chinyere, iyobo, Ayobami e.t.c to alot of mishaps caused by you and your party?

say something new mr paper president.

elampiro: When will we hear breaking news like:

'Nigeria now has round the clock power supply'

'Nigeria unemployment rate drops to 5%'

'Nigeria rated most peaceful country in Africa and among black nations'

'Nigeria has the best security and city surveillance system'

Etc. When?

Only when we start having such news that everyone can begin to sleep well.

When people start voting with their brains and not with their belly.

@OP

Are these the only type of men around or the ones you know?

bencham: Waste of time no matter what they do PDP will stil win convincingly and overwhelming accros the nation come 2015.

Yes only if we still have fools around.

teskyg: No sane person will vote for Boko Haram party.Buhari claim of been uncorrupt is been drag in the mud by associating with Tinubu.They have lost even before the election already.

Oh the caption reads CPC not PDP or have you forgotten that PDP is the founding father of boko haram?

everyone in SSS custody so far are from PDP so what are you saying?

victorD3: This Iyanya of a guy I foresee the media raising him very high and smashing his head on the ground soon.

Na real slamming e go be.

Jarus: Frankly, it's too late to revive CPC.

The party had a huge potential in 2011. It has the record of being the only party that pulled 12m votes in a presidential election less than 2 years after formation.

I'm afraid the potential has been bungled due to lack of coordination and organization within the party. The ugly incidents post presidential elections also did not help matters.

The donors and besiegers asking them to drop the merger plan may be PDP agents planted into the party to unsettle it and deceive it into thinking it can go alone.

CPC can't go alone. It's only hope is considering bringing in a more organized ACN.

The bolded is the case to me, they MUST GO AHEAD with the merger, a 2 party system is going to close down massive rigging from one or both parties.

Right now, we need a 2 party system to deal with bad leadership. at least both party'll be strong enough to challenge eachother pounds for pounds.

Charles Okah, a suspected member of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), blamed for the 2010 Independence Day bomb that killed at least 10 people with many more injured, has written to the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, saying he was pressured by government to implicate leading opposition figures in the incident.

“At the SSS Headquarters Abuja where we were flown to, blindfolded with our legs and hands bound, my ‘cooperation’ was solicited for something completely different to my surprise,” Mr. Okah, whose younger brother is being tried in South Africa over the same allegation, said in his November 19, 2012 letter from the Kuje Prison in Abuja. “My captors threw me a lifeline; offering me our freedom and a lucrative contract in exchange for false testimony against my younger brother Henry, who is resident in South Africa.

“I was to write a false statement claiming to have been told by Henry about the bomb plot and naming the following persons as his conspirators: Former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, Chief Timipre Sylva, and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. I bluntly refused.”

Mr. Okah has been in prison custody since 2010 after he was over the incident.

Mr. Okah’s younger brother had also said in a shocking court depositions a few months ago said Mr. Jonathan and his aides organized the attacks in a desperate political strategy to demonize political opponents, and win popular sympathy ahead of the 2011 elections.

“The purpose of the 14 March 2010 bombing in my opinion was to create an atmosphere of insecurity in the Niger Delta where President Goodluck Jonathan at that time, was fighting to oust the governor Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan whom President Goodluck Jonathan intended to replace with his Minister for Niger Delta, Mr Godsday Orubebe,” Mr. Okah said in a 194-page affivadavit obtained by PREMIUM TIMES.

“The bombing on 1 October 2010 was a platform for the elimination of political opposition from the north in the form of General Ibrahim 8abangida. The bombing of 1 October 2010 was also intended by the President Goodluck Jonathan Government to create anti North sentiments nationwide in order to galvanize support from other sections of Nigeria against other northern candidates in the Presidential elections,” he said.

In his letter to Cardinal Okogie, Charles Okah has now leveled the same allegation against the administration, saying he is being persecuted for refusing to implicate opposition elements as requested by government.

He also talked about the poor treatment he and his colleagues were facing in prison custody.

Your Eminence:

October 1 2010 Bomb Blast Setup and Government Double Standard

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I hope this letter meets you well. The reasons I choose to direct this letter to you are that I am a Catholic and you are an old boy of my alma mater, St. Gregory’s College, Lagos.

I write from Kuje Prison Abuja where two other Catholics and I have been languishing in solitary confinement for 2 years on trumped-up charges relating to the October 1, 2010 bomb attack claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

My name is Charles Tonbra Okah, aka Billy Bones. On October 16, 2010 my residence in Apapa GRA was invaded by operatives of the State Security Services on the warrant that I was the suspected spokesman for MEND using the pseudonym

“Jomo Gbomo.” My eldest son, visiting from the United States where he attends the University of Kansas (KU) was also arrested.

At the SSS Headquarters Abuja where we were flown to blindfolded with our legs and hands bound, my ‘cooperation’ was solicited for something completely different to my surprise. My captors threw me a lifeline; offering me our freedom and a lucrative contract in exchange for false testimony against my younger brother Henry, who is resident in South Africa. I was to write a false statement claiming to have been told by Henry about the bomb plot and naming the following persons as his conspirators: Former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, Chief Timipre Sylva, and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. I bluntly refused.

To maintain pressure on me, I was told that my son would be implicated in the bomb matter, my containers of legitimate imports then at the Tin Can Port would be impounded and my business destroyed. I still did not budge, tossing their lifeline back with royal disdain.

When they realized I was not going to connive in their scheme, they became formal and reverted to the main reason for my arrest. I was asked for the MEND password which I told them I did not know. They bound me in a chair, took off my trousers and clamped a device to my penis. My legs were then put inside a basin of water. The device when turned on passed a high voltage of electricity to my body and I lost consciousness. This was on Monday October 18 at about 6pm. When I regained consciousness, I discovered I was at the National Hospital emergency room. I remember the doctors asking why I had trauma marks on my chest where the SSS doctor performed Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The SSS operatives

were evasive in answering questions at the hospital. That night I was released and taken to rest for the night at the State House Clinic. That was the last time a torture was carried out on me.

My son was eventually released after Mr. Femi Falana visited in the company of my wife after a month of being denied access to a lawyer. However, my containers have been impounded up to date and my bank account frozen.

The SSS stopped asking about the MEND password after Jomo Gbomo made another statement while I was in their custody but refused to still let me go because I did not cooperate earlier with them. Meanwhile in the ongoing trial in South Africa, Henry is accused of being the same Jomo Gbomo by the same people who say I am JG.

Double Standard in Kuje Prison:

On December 24, 2010 we were remanded in Kuje prison as a result of our application to be removed from the SSS detention cell. Unknown to us, the SSS passed instructions from “above” to the prison authorities to carry out “special treatment” in order to stampede us into a trial towards conviction. For 2 years we have been locked up in solitary confinement, are not allowed to exercise or get sunlight outside and are forced to sleep on the floor when bunk beds are available. Even a court order by Justice Gabriel Kolawole to the prison for a change in our confinement style was ignored after it was superseded by an ‘order from above.”

In late 2011, while locked up inside our cell block, prison officials clothed in protective apparel, face masks and gloves carried out fumigation without opening us to wait outside. Our protests fell on deaf ears and by the time they were finished we were in distress.

The Youth Corper doctor on call tried her best within her limits to the emergency she was confronted with. The poisonous gas and barbaric action reminiscent of the Nazi concentration camp infamous gas chambers, eventually led to the death of one Francis Osuwo, aka Gboko, also roped into this case by the SSS and a man I have never met before.

Interestingly, the four persons in detention were strangers to each other except for one Obi Nwabueze who is a family friend and close associate of Henry.

The fumigant, whose chemical constituent were never relayed to us, have affected my neurological system and I have been on a daily prescription of strong neurological medication prescribed by a neurologist of the National Hospital, Professor Bwala.

While the Boko Haram suspects at Kuje prison are allowed to worship in the prison mosque, we have never set foot in the prison chapel. They are also enjoying privileges such as cable television, radio, liberty to move within the prison walls, bunk beds to sleep on and phone calls to their families. We are denied all of the above.

When I asked the current Controller of FCT Command the reason for the disparity, he said “the fear of Boko Haram is the beginning of wisdom.” He further said the Moslem community was concerned about their welfare in custody.

Double Standard in the Court:

Even in the Courts where justice is supposed to be blind, the double standard is glaring. While Senator Ndume, accused of being a financier to Boko Haram was given bail by the same Judge presiding over our case, we have been denied bail.

I understand that this Senator was permitted by the same court to travel on his religious obligation to Mecca for the lesser Hajj while we are refused from attending mass in a chapel less than 50 meters from our cell block.

The court is willing to permit the Senator approval to travel abroad for his medical check if he can provide proof that such check up is not done locally. Meanwhile, I have been denied my application to go on a compulsory checkup which in my case is mandatory for a kidney donor, having donated my left kidney to my mother 30 years ago.

Our cases have been adjourned repeatedly for cruelly long durations. The last time I appeared in court was March 2012 and the next adjourned date is January 31, 2013, that is if that date will not be shifted again under a flimsy excuse.

All we ask is for a free and fair justice from an independent Judiciary that should release us instead of holding us as scapegoats over an obvious power show. While this government continues holding us hostage, our families are becoming destitute.

Our rights to freely worship as Catholics is being infringed by the state who have more respect for Islam when all religions should be treated equally.

Double Standards in the Polity:

The National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) was quoted as saying that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan has the phone numbers of suspected Boko Haram sponsors. Later the Inspector General of Police said certain

individuals had been put on a “watch list” as suspected Boko Haram sponsors.

Now the big question is why did the government not simply have our phone numbers and put us also on its ‘watch list” while we move about freely? They did not hesitate to arrest us, clamp us on trumped-up charges and detain us on flimsy excuses. They did not merely talk, they took action even in South Africa where

my brother was arrested since 2010. Is there a better word to describe this other than hypocrisy?

The same government eager to negotiate with Boko Haram who claimed responsibility for over 100 attacks where Catholics have suffered the brunt, have refused to negotiate with MEND and continue to delude themselves that all is well.

Why would this government expect Boko Haram to unmask it leaders and negotiate when they can see that perceived leaders and supporters of MEND are being persecuted and jailed?

I welcome a fact-finding visit from the Church in the company of credible Human Rights groups to verify our allegations.

On the two occasions Kuje Prison was visited by the Bishop of Abuja during the Christmas of 2010 and 2011, he was surreptitiously steered away from where were we are held hostage and I believe he has no idea of what is going in inside Kuje prison.

Our prayers is that leaders of our Churches will be more sensitive and proactive in politics of the land that touches the lifes of their followers and not leave delicate issues solely in the hands of corrupt and selfish politicians, and majority of the population rid of a “Potiphar” mentality who believe lies when

told by SSS.

May God save our beloved country.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles T. Okah

GenBuhari: Fame= Buhari for persisting in his efforts to save the nation and announcing his intention to contest in 2015

Pls when did it announce that and how's that important in 2012?

afam4eva: There's always hope. There's also hope that satan will make heaven.

These opposition parties have to put their differences aside and come together to forge a common front if they want to oust PDP. They also have to start looking at things nationally and not restrict themselves to certain regions because that what PDP has above other parties in Nigeria. They're the only party with a National outlook.

Another wild comment, show me where it was written that satan is hoped to make heaven. he's been condemned forever so your analogy lacks logic.

They already put their differences apart, hence the reason they are coming together again. you think thunder can strike twice in the same place ni?

afam4eva: Let's not forget that this is not the first time they'll be discussing.

Read the article again, they explained the reason the first one didn't work out.

it's always good to read through things first before responding.

ypzilanti: Will Tinubu agree to become a smaller fish in a bigger pond? Will buhari agree to drop presdential candidacy? The answer to these questions will determine if merger will work.

Don't worry, they have these questions under discussion already, so no need asking because they all know they must compromise.

afam4eva: Unfortunately, i don't see anything party ousting PDP in a long time to come except there's a mass exodus. For now we have to strive to get the best candidate to represent PDP. It seems once someone has won the PDP presidential ticket, he has automatically won the election.

Thank God you have just one brain, one head and one thumb to vote for one person and only once.

minus you, we still have more than 60 million eligible voters. (There's hope!)

[size=18pt]@GenBuhari

ABEG STOP THIS NA![/size]

afam4eva: I'm also hoping that GEJ does not come back. But what's the guarantee that Obasanjo will present us a better choice?

oh, you mean PDP is the only party in Nigeria and what happens in PDP is what the rest of the country should wait for?

afam4eva: Na so so mouth dem go dey make. When the time comes now they won't want to compromise anything.

Forming an alliance or a new party will mean that Tinubu's power in ACN will be reduced and i don't see him agreeing to an event that will make him somewhat irrelevant. He'll rather continue being the Alpha and Omega of ACN even if it means having only the SW states.

I am beginning to suspect you.

ayox2003: If they wanna merge just to displace PDP, they had better not merge. PDP is not the problem of this country, nigerians are.

But if they wanna merge to create a new ideology with the purpose of making governance better, with clear-cut programmes, then its a welcome development. Because honestly, the same crop of politicians are in ALL these parties. Infact in some restaurants, they sit together to discuss politics about the "masses" and "deals".

PDP members would join them once power shifts.



Frawzey

Nice, good post.

Archmed: I know some people will come here and preach maturity and love.They are even blasting the OP..Its a known fact that family position of a wife,sometimes affects d hubby's financial stand.For example, 1st female children have responsibilities of providing 4 their siblings:paying school fees...etc.In fact,its the culture in some parts of Nigeria.Whether it matters to you or not is another issue!

I share your sentiments and that of the OP, thank God i no be 1st and the person i am seeing is also not the first, so i am safe.

birdman: Maybe his game plan was to play possum until Pac got careless. Pac got caught by a floored punch! Either he got slow in a hurry, or Marquez baited him into overconfidence. Considering Marquez ate a jab just to throw a right hook, I think he was baiting Pac all along.

Watch it again, it was a blow thrown by someone who was boxed into a corner.

Like a snake when boxed into a corner, it has no choice but to snap with all its strength, that was what Marquez did and it paid him.

afam4eva: I think too much power is ascribed to Obasanjo that he actually wields. He doesn't have the kind of power that people talk about. Jonathan will run and win with or without OBJ.

You will swallow your words and i pray it happens because GEJ coming back by 2015 is a total disaster to this country!

StarBoard: Going for my boy A-40.

Notedd!

I am glad Messi finally broke the record.

BTW, Falcao scored 5 goals in one match against Deportivo. that's some massive stats there.
