Politics / Anambra People Are Regretting Voting For Soludo by Malroux: 12:49am On Mar 02
Only those who are from Anambra will understand what I'm saying. Soludo is a big let down to Ndi Anambra going by Anambra standard of governance minus Mbadinuju's administration. Since Soludo became governor, all he has been doing is promising Dubai Taiwan to the people of Anambra state without matching his words with action. Can Soludo point to any landmark or legacy project of his administration? I doubt so.

For the records, Every Anambra person know what Chris Ngige did for Anambra state despite all he went through in the hands of then president Obasanjo and Uba family. Ngige laid the foundation for Anambra's growth before he was booted out of the office by the court.

During Peter Obi's administration, he performed very well in security, education and health sectors. He constructed roads. He handed back public schools to the missionaries which Anambra people are still reaping the benefit till today. Obi constructed fences round the whole public schools in Anambra state. He bought generators and equipped the whole public and some private schools in Anambra with computers for the betterment of the students. He gave every school at least one bus for their convenience. He gave every vigilant group in all Anambra towns and villages at least one Innoson Hilux vehicle and also equipped them with modern weapons. Most vigilant groups in Anambra are still using the Hilux vehicles Obi gave them till today. I can go on and on but space won't permit me.

Then Willie Obiano came on board and continued from where Obi stopped in terms of development. Every Anambra person can still remember his initiative of "name any project you want" where he gave every town in Anambra forty million naira each for every town to build any project that they desire. Obiano constructed many new roads in Anambra state to the extent that Anambra was ranked the state that has the best road network in Nigeria after Abuja. You can google it. I don't need to mention the Anambra international conference center he built wich is still the best conference center in Nigeria, or the Anambra international airport, which are all his legacy projects.

Since Soludo became governor, he has promised many projects none which are yet to take off. The roads he is constructing are at snail speed despite him promising to finish them before rainy season starts. We are already in rainy season and none has been completed. We can still remember how after meeting with Emeka Offor, he promised Anambra people 24 hours electricity but today, Anambra is still in darkness. I won't talk about the MOU he signed with one construction company about building inter state railway that will connect Onitsha,Awka and Ekwulobia, we all knew he was joking then. The free education he gave to pupils of nursery/primary to Jss3 students is not entirely free, because teachers are still collecting money from students. The only area I'll give him a pass mark is in security. He is trying his best in that sector even though it is still not enough. Truth be told, Anambra people are regretting voting for Soludo and 2025 election is a judgement day for him and he might not win a second tenure if he continue like this.

Religion / You Have What You Say. Part 28 by PastorSomba(m): 5:25pm On Mar 01
YOU HAVE WHAT YOU SAY - Part 28.

Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.".

28. Speaking lies is lying to yourself. It is deceiving and deluding yourself. All lies are aimed at deception and destruction. The devil wants people to speak lies so that they get deception and destruction. Adam and Eve listened and spoke lies and they got what they said. When you speak lies and believe lies even what you have will be taken from you. But when you speak the truth in all circumstances even what you don't have will be given to you. We see this in the parable of the talent in Matthew 25:14-30 and John 10:10 (KJV) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.".

Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.". Luke 8:18 (KJV) "Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.".. Every time you speak a lie, you lose something just as Adam and Eve lost all they had.

This is the primary way the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy destinies by causing people to speak and talk lies every day and every time. What is a lie. A lie is whatever is not the word of God or the will of God. A lie can be a fact and something that is so real that we can see it, feel it and even prove it. A lie can even be true, yet it remains a lie as long as it is not in line with the word of God and the will of God. Thanks. Grace be with you. Ref. Genesis 3:1-12; Matthew 13:12; 25:29; Proverbs 18:20-21; Ecclesiastes 5:6; John 8:44; 2Corinthians 11:3,14;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God, in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God, have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you.

Health / Re: Is It Immature To Ask Parents For Relationship Advice As An Adult? by scottmartin: 5:06pm On Mar 01
scottmartin:
I went through a bad break up a month ago (I broke up with her), and relied on my mother for advice and just someone to talk to. I talked to friends a lot too, but my mother is not in the friend group, so I felt I could opened up to her.

My ex found out and went on a long rant about how its immature to ask your parents for break up advice at 24. Do you think that's true? I know she has a bad relationship with her mom, who still scolds her about things. She also still lives at home.

My relationship with my mom doesn't have the same power dynamic, I feel were just two autonomous people. I moved out (30 minutes away) at 19, with on and off support from my parents. I visit twice a week or so for dinner and coffee, and we talk about our lives or whatever. During the breakup I was visiting 3-4 times a week for advice and just venting. Occasionally, we talk on the phone.

My ex obviously got under my skin. Ive had similar thoughts before too, that maybe I shouldn't rely so much on my mom at this age. I keep my life completely open to my mother love guidance, everything unfiltered, without feeling I'm being judged, and I dont know anyone else with that kind of relationship with their parents. Maybe I should try just working out problems other ways, without too much influence by my mom or even friends. What do you think?
thanks in advance for any help

I taught you know bible alaye babanla olodo you be oooo😂😂😂😂😂

i]Mat 3.16
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.”[/i]
Whose voice is that😂😂😂😂😂
Among people from(who are in ) heaven we have Abraham, Moses, Jacobs Angel your 24 elders and alot of people who voice is that among them
Bros J this guy lied againt you sir
Brother Jesus please come and tell us the truth sir, is it the voice of your father undecided
Bros J be like don't mind Mattew and John
open your bible to John 5 vs 37-38

37-38“. But the witness that really confirms me far exceeds John’s witness.(GBAM!!!) It’s the work the Father gave me to complete. These very tasks, as I go about completing them, confirm that the Father, in fact, sent me. The Father who sent me, confirmed me. And you missed it. LET ZOOM IN🧐🧐🧐

You never heard his voice, you never saw his appearance.
Talking to John again (Sir tee the empty head 🤣🤣🤣)There is nothing left in your memory of his Message because you do not take his Messenger seriously.
Na Jesus talk am óò no be me óò🙌

Matthew 3

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”


So who among the heavenly hosts U mentioned has the spirit of God.
Angels, Patriarch, elders or the FATHER.


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.


Jesus said he's a son to who? Father, patriarch, angels or elders.


For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!” (Matthew 16:15-17).


So I really don't understand the correlation of my beloved son to elders or angels. There's only one person who say such in heaven and that's the Father.

In John 5 Jesus said this to the Pharisees.

[i] And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, 38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.


Jesus also reiterated above in book of Matthew

MAT 13:13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

MAT 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed


Jesus made it clear that the Pharisees don't hear because they cant- they need to believe in the one the Father sent but they rejected him.
So they can neither see nor hear from God.

Pharisees existed at a times the shikenah Glory of God had departed from the temple and the priest no longer have any direct contact or relationship with God. The Pharisees were not receiving any revelation from God either. They were waiting for the Messiah to open up that pathway of communication btw mankind and God. That Messiah was Jesus. Instead of the Pharisees to embrace jesus so they could here from the Father, they rejected him and that was what Jesus was explaining in the passage.


However Jesus affirmed his source and that people can once again hear from the father through him. An example is John 12.

28 Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.
Family / Missing Fiance Star Michael Ilesanmi Is Seen Being Abused By Wife Angela Deem by OLAADEGBU(m): 3:29pm On Mar 01
'Missing' 90 Day Fiance star Michael Ilesanmi is seen being verbally abused and SHOVED by his wife Angela Deem in shocking videos - months before he disappeared from their home

Angela, 58, from Georgia, recently claimed that her husband, 36, was 'missing'
The couple first met in 2018, married and visited each other's native countries
But resurfaced clips suggest Michael had been on the receiving end of abuse

By RAVEN SAUNT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 19:22 GMT, 28 February 2024 | UPDATED: 20:59 GMT, 28 February 2024

90 Day Fiancé star Michael Ilesanmi recently sparked serious concern after going 'missing' just two months after he moved to the US from his native Nigeria to live with his wife Angela Deem - but shocking clips from throughout their time on reality TV now suggest that he may well have been running from his spouse and her aggressive behavior.

Michael's wife Angela, 58, from Jefferson County, Georgia, appeared in a recent YouTube video posted by celebrity blogger John Yates, alleging in the clip that her spouse, 36, had disappeared on Friday, February 23.

The embattled couple first met in 2018 on season two of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, and they later got married and paid visits to each other's native countries.

But now resurfaced clips suggest that Michael had been on the receiving end of both verbal and physical assaults at the hands of his wife, who is 22 years his senior, which could have prompted him to walk away from the relationship.

But now resurfaced clips suggest that Michael had been on the receiving end of both verbal and physical assaults at the hands of his wife


The couple were locked in various fiery confrontations throughout filming but it was one clip in particular that caught the extent of the issue on camera as she vandalized his car

The couple were locked in various fiery confrontations throughout filming but it was one clip in particular that caught the extent of the issue on camera.

In September 2022, Angela had turned up in Nigeria unannounced to confront Michael about his social media presence after accusing him of using it as a platform to talk to other women.

She furiously banged on his front door, shouted demands for him to come out and threatened to 'break the windows.'

The fired-up star then began dismantling her fiancé's car before Michael arrived to confront her - which is when tensions really escalated.

Angela stormed toward him on a foul-mouthed rant before lunging to grab his arms, shoving him backward and grappling with him.

Michael was understandably worked up but ended up in tears after expressing his grievances.

Angela then branded him as a 'cry baby' and a 'b**ch' before concluding 'f**k you.'

But it was not the only example of her erratic behavior which went back as early as 2019.


But it was not the only example of her erratic behaviors with other examples include her slamming an entire cake into Michael's face


Angela also regularly berated her fiance for speaking and blew up at him during the show's tell-alls

In the September of that year, Michael presented Angela with a cake by way of a peace offering.

But she reacted furiously to the gesture and rejected it by slamming the entire sweet treat into Michael's face.

Further still, Angela regularly berated her now estranged husband for speaking and blowing up during tell-alls.

Fans of the show regularly called out Angela's actions online with many taking to the Reddit thread dedicated to TLC's 90 Day Fiancé to share their thoughts.

One wrote: 'Angela has abused Michael physically and mentally countless times on the show.

'Cake in the face, destroying his car, belittling him in front of friends and family, economic abuse, etc. All on camera.

'There's no telling how often Michael gets abused by Angela off camera, or how many DV instances were left on the editing room floor.

'Yet they continue paying Angela to be on the show. Pretty gross.'

Another added: 'The way Angela calls Michael "motherf**ker" and "b**ch" when speaking to him and about him is so vile. She doesn't see him as a person.

'She sees him as property. Constantly dangling the visa and money to control him is disgusting.'

And a third said: 'I just watched the episode and I can’t believe TLC actually aired this domestic violence assault. If this was the other way around and Michael did this in the US, he would be immediately arrested.

'He should've called the authorities and gotten her ignorant a** arrested.'

Earlier this week, Angela claimed that she had been in touch with the police about Michael's disappearance, only for it to emerge mid-way through John's live broadcast that he had not only been found 'safe', but that he had also contacted cops on a 'burner' phone to say he'd been 'in fear' for his life.

He also requested that his wife be kept in the dark regarding his whereabouts, prompting a furious Angela to claim he must have 'planned' his disappearance.

John and Angela filmed two livestream videos together within the space of a few hours - the first of which saw the 90 Day Fiancé star alleging that her husband had gone missing.

Then, just seven hours later, she and John returned to the video-streaming site to update concerned fans, revealing that Michael had turned up.

While John attempted to update viewers during the second of two livestreams, Angela yelled: 'Breaking news. I'm in total f**king shock right now but not really and that's all I can say.

'John take over please because I'm in f**king shock.'


In a bizarre live broadcast filmed with Angela, celebrity blogger John Yates claimed that Michael had told police he did not want his wife to be given his location

'I'll just rip it off like a Band Aid,' John then began. 'Michael is safe, there's the good news.

'He reached out to the police moments after [the first] live. Right after [the first] live ended, Angela got a phone call from the police here stating that they were contacted by Michael. They verified it was him.

'He did have a burner phone or like another phone, a phone that nobody knew about and on that phone he had pictures of his passport, the one that he left. So they verified his ID, it's him.'

John added that after officers verified his identity, something 'wild' soon followed - as Angela yelled from off-camera, 'Here's the yahoo boy part!' - alluding to the nickname often given to online fraudsters, particularly those of Nigerian descent.

John continued: 'He told the police that he was in fear of his life here and he did not want Angela knowing his location.'

Angela also revealed that the pair were together just five days earlier in New York and that his disappearance came out of the blue.

Viewers were also made privy to the fact that Michael arrived in the US from Nigeria just before Christmas 2023, in order to live with his wife.

John vehemently defended his pal Angela against Michael's claims that he had been 'fearing' for his life by explaining that 'no one was locked up here' and pointing out that the pair had vacationed together in New York and Florida in recent weeks.

However Angela couldn't be consoled and at this point accused of her estranged husband of being a 'lying s**t'.


In January 2023, Angela told producers on TLC show 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? that 'divorce was definitely on the table' between her and Michael


Her confession about the status of their relationship came amid furious rumors that Michael had been unfaithful to her

She said off camera: 'I don't know why people think I'm not human... you know what I mean?

'I'm a woman, I stand as a woman. When you sneak behind my back and do lying s**t on me I'm not fine anymore.

'I'm f**king mad as hell. I was worried thinking he was hurt.'

In a now-deleted TikTok, Angela had previously told fans that, before her husband disappeared, he left behind his phone and wallet.

She also said she reached out to his family before contacting police but her efforts were unfruitful.

She then used the platform to plead for his save return - before later doing a complete 180 and questioning whether he 'planned' the ordeal the whole f**king time.

'This is not funny. This is real s**t...' she added. 'I'm telling you now. I'm not going to let you f**king come here if you didn't love me.'

Fans posed questions about the possibility of Michael pulling an immigration stunt to achieve US citizenship, to which she replied: 'If Michael is really missing and doesn't contact us, immigration can take over. That's all I can tell you.'

The incident is the latest in a string of challenges for the couple, who were recently dogged by allegations of cheating on Michael's part.


The embattled couple first met in 2018 on season two of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, and they later got married and paid visits to each other's native countries


The pair tied the knot in Nigeria in 2020 - however it took several more years before Michael made the move to the US to live with his wife

In December 2022, a heartbroken Angela sobbed as she revealed how her husband Michael had been allegedly unfaithful to her in a sneak peek of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?

In the clip, which was obtained by People, Angela described how Michael had been cheating on her with a 31-year-old woman he became connected to on Instagram.

Angela recounted just how 'happy' she had been in her relationship with Michael following a trip to Nigeria - before a friend alerted her to his indiscretions.

'When I got back from Nigeria, me and Michael was on a good note. We were happy when we left, we was back to normal like two f**king weeks we've been on the phone every night, 24/7 like we used to,' Angela told a producer.

'The spark was there, the love was still there, we were on the way to getting ready to bring him here and be husband and wife. Like, we love each other and I was happy. I was real happy.

'And then my friend sent me texts. Michael cheating on me online. This girl is 31 and they met on his Instagram. And that's why he didn't want to take his Instagram down!'

Angela revealed Michael had been in communication with the woman for two months before she played a voice note her husband had sent to the woman.

'They've been talking the whole time we've been fighting. For two months. Not only while I was in Nigeria, but since I've come back, Michael's still continued to talk to this girl.


After learning that her husband was safe, Angela quickly pivoted from concern to rage, accusing Michael of being a 'lying s***'

'I know this because I've got screenshots. Then I got a voice note. And the way he was talking to her was the way he would talk to me on the voice note. So I knew that was him.

'Telling her to pick up the phone, baby I love you. I got him right here,' she said before playing the voice note Michael had sent the woman.

In that same season of the show, Angela told producers that 'divorce was definitely on the table', with the reality star insisting that she was 'definitely going to file', although she conceded that this didn't mean she was 'going to sign'.

Angela was supported by other stars on the TLC franchise, as she said Ilesanmi 'went too far' with his dishonesty and infidelity, which left her 'mentally exhausted' and 'very hurt.'

She added, 'With Michael's lying and all, and all the stuff I just found out, I don't think he's ever loved me. I think he loves me 'cause everything I've done for him, but he can't tell me why he's in love with me.'

The couple's issues have played out on the show, and Michael previously admitted to cheating on Angela in the early days of their relationship.

Despite the admission, she ultimately forgave him and they married in his native Nigeria in 2020.

He then waited four years before finally being able to live with his wife in the US two months ago.

Davigled:
Good morning fams, and a happy merry new month to you all. today is Friday, and I won't be trading today, I just want to talk about my performance for the month of February, I'd say my performance in the month of February was better than January and this time around, fortunately for me, I did not end up blowing all my profits, but I must confess that I am a bit disappointed with myself. my goal for the propfirms monthly competition is to see whether I can consistently hit 10% every month, well I did it in January but I ended up blowing all my profits due to overtrading. I ended January at break even. at least I wasn't disqualified and that meant something to me. I also hit 10% on all 3 of my competition accounts, but I still couldn't hold on to my profits because of my nemesis aka overtrading. in the first week of February, I actually hit 10% within 2 days of trading, and I did not gambled if you're wondering, I actually do pyramid into a trade that I am very confident about and it played out accordingly. I was euphoric and I began to gun for 20%, unfortunately I over traded in the second week of February and I lost about 60-70% of my profits made in the first week, that really humbled me psychologically and also emotionally. so I consciously made up my mind to cut down on the trades I took, the third and fourth week of February were pretty good, because I slowly recovered all the losses I incurred in the second week and ended up back at 11%, but unfortunately this week was kind of a stalemate or a pretty bad week as I ended up losing 2% of my profits and ended the month at 9%. I must confess that I am sad that I couldn't hold on to my 10% for the second time again. there are also certain issues that I have note in my trading and I humbly seek the house guidance on it;

1. Overtrading seems to be my biggest nemesis, I went through my trade explorer and viewed my trade statistics for Feb on my Fundednext competition account, I had a total trade of 72 of which 48 where lossing trades and 24 were winning trades, my win rate is 33%, total profits were 29000, total losses were 20000, hence net profit 9000. looking at this stats, I realized that if and only if I could have cut down on the number of trades that I take and really focused on quality set up, then my performance could have been better. although I have started a regimen on tackling this problem at hand and that is to strictly trade Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only, every week that's strictly trading 3 days in a week. secondly keeping my daily drawdown at 2% daily, since I risk only 0.5% per trade, that means maximum of 4 trades per day ( two two for the two pairs I trade).

2. Greed: I think this issue is a bit tricky as I'm not sure if it's my greed that hampers my performance at times or maybe it's poor trade management. one of the biggest challenges for me this month was seeing having profitable trades that ended up in losses. that really really got to me. there were countless times I had winning trades that were up 100 pips plus but I refused to close the trades because I was waiting for it to hit tp which always end up hitting my stoploss. my trading risk rewards which I mostly aim towards to is 1:4 or 1:3, but recently I have been thinking of sticking to 1:2 RR. unfortunately my greed won't let me stick to it, I just feel like 1:2 is isn't satisfactory to me, I am confused and conflicted about it.

3. Lastly, I still struggle with indiscipline, as there are times that I succumb to temptations of breaking my rules. like last week, I wasn't supposed to trade on Friday, I broke the rule and end up losing 1%, on Thursday mid morning at around 2am, I was awake and I checked the charts during asian session which I don't trade, saw a very tempting set-up which I took with the hope of making a bad ass killing from RR perspective, long story short, it flopped and I lost another 1%. Lord knows that I beat myself up for breaking my rules at times but I still end up doing it, although I don't break my rules frequently as I used to do before, but I feel like should have gotten to a stage or level where I ought not to break my rules.

So overall, Feb for me wasn't too bad at all, I'm $35 away from BE on my 5%ers, Fundednext Feb comp 9%, TFT Feb comp 6.5%, and unfortunately SFT 1.8%. Now at the start of the month my performance on Fundednext, TFT and SFT, were the same, but along the lines it began to diverge due to some lapses. I noted that it's not easy trading multiple accounts without a trade copier, there times I get sloppy entries on my other accounts because when, I enter a trades on one account, by the time I logged in to the other accounts, price had already moved. I also notice discrepancies in the pricing feed between brokers, there are times that I set limit others, which may get triggered on one account and may not be triggered on the other accounts. All this affected my performance across all accounts and as for the SFT, I actually gambled on it this week, due to the fact that it's the end of the month and it seems to be the least performing account, so I decided to take some big shots on it if it would be in my favor, sadly it didn't.

I'll stop here because I seem to have written quite a long post, but I want to thank everyone here on the community for the value that they keep adding here, I wasn't as good as I am now early last year, but I am much more better than before, I know I am not a good trader but I am seeing progress in my trading journey. I am happy and grateful for having a community that I can commit to and also be accountable to. pls elders in the house do not hesitate to advise, admonish or scold me, as always, I am willing to learn. cheers

That's why we've been advised here to stay away from all these competitions. Competition will only build the gambler in you and not the ideal trader. You cannot do without overtrading, gambling, fomo and all... Well!! if that's the only means of getting an account, you can keep trying but note that those guys on top of the list are gamblers. You can wait for NFP and cpi set both buy and sell order with max lot on all the giant pairs.. Just one cpi move might get you 25%

Davigled:
Good morning fams, and a happy merry new month to you all. today is Friday, and I won't be trading today, I just want to talk about my performance for the month of February, I'd say my performance in the month of February was better than January and this time around, fortunately for me, I did not end up blowing all my profits, but I must confess that I am a bit disappointed with myself. my goal for the propfirms monthly competition is to see whether I can consistently hit 10% every month, well I did it in January but I ended up blowing all my profits due to overtrading. I ended January at break even. at least I wasn't disqualified and that meant something to me. I also hit 10% on all 3 of my competition accounts, but I still couldn't hold on to my profits because of my nemesis aka overtrading. in the first week of February, I actually hit 10% within 2 days of trading, and I did not gambled if you're wondering, I actually do pyramid into a trade that I am very confident about and it played out accordingly. I was euphoric and I began to gun for 20%, unfortunately I over traded in the second week of February and I lost about 60-70% of my profits made in the first week, that really humbled me psychologically and also emotionally. so I consciously made up my mind to cut down on the trades I took, the third and fourth week of February were pretty good, because I slowly recovered all the losses I incurred in the second week and ended up back at 11%, but unfortunately this week was kind of a stalemate or a pretty bad week as I ended up losing 2% of my profits and ended the month at 9%. I must confess that I am sad that I couldn't hold on to my 10% for the second time again. there are also certain issues that I have note in my trading and I humbly seek the house guidance on it;

1. Overtrading seems to be my biggest nemesis, I went through my trade explorer and viewed my trade statistics for Feb on my Fundednext competition account, I had a total trade of 72 of which 48 where lossing trades and 24 were winning trades, my win rate is 33%, total profits were 29000, total losses were 20000, hence net profit 9000. looking at this stats, I realized that if and only if I could have cut down on the number of trades that I take and really focused on quality set up, then my performance could have been better. although I have started a regimen on tackling this problem at hand and that is to strictly trade Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only, every week that's strictly trading 3 days in a week. secondly keeping my daily drawdown at 2% daily, since I risk only 0.5% per trade, that means maximum of 4 trades per day ( two two for the two pairs I trade).

2. Greed: I think this issue is a bit tricky as I'm not sure if it's my greed that hampers my performance at times or maybe it's poor trade management. one of the biggest challenges for me this month was seeing having profitable trades that ended up in losses. that really really got to me. there were countless times I had winning trades that were up 100 pips plus but I refused to close the trades because I was waiting for it to hit tp which always end up hitting my stoploss. my trading risk rewards which I mostly aim towards to is 1:4 or 1:3, but recently I have been thinking of sticking to 1:2 RR. unfortunately my greed won't let me stick to it, I just feel like 1:2 is isn't satisfactory to me, I am confused and conflicted about it.

3. Lastly, I still struggle with indiscipline, as there are times that I succumb to temptations of breaking my rules. like last week, I wasn't supposed to trade on Friday, I broke the rule and end up losing 1%, on Thursday mid morning at around 2am, I was awake and I checked the charts during asian session which I don't trade, saw a very tempting set-up which I took with the hope of making a bad ass killing from RR perspective, long story short, it flopped and I lost another 1%. Lord knows that I beat myself up for breaking my rules at times but I still end up doing it, although I don't break my rules frequently as I used to do before, but I feel like should have gotten to a stage or level where I ought not to break my rules.

So overall, Feb for me wasn't too bad at all, I'm $35 away from BE on my 5%ers, Fundednext Feb comp 9%, TFT Feb comp 6.5%, and unfortunately SFT 1.8%.

Politics / Hardship Will End Soon, FG Tells Aggrieved Nigerians by adenigga(m): 4:49am On Mar 01
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on Thursday, assured Nigerians that the narrative on the current hardships would be different within the next one year.

Idris spoke at the 50th anniversary lecture of PUNCH Nigeria Limited held at the Civic Centre, Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The minister, who represented President Bola Tinubu at the lecture by the Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, assured Nigerians that Tinubu would deliver on his campaign promises while appealing for patience.

“Of course, the challenges are going to be there; no one is pretending that they do not exist, but we see a situation where the story would be quite different in another one year.”

The information minister urged Nigerians to take a cue from Soyinka, who said he usually waited a year before assessing a new government in power.

“Maybe go back to what Professor Wole Soyinka said when he visited President Bola Tinubu, I listened to the journalist who was asking him to comment on the current administration and what he said, ‘even in my character, I wouldn’t talk until whoever is in office stays for at least one year.’”

Speaking on the efforts being made by the government to take the country out of the woods, the minister said, “Only a few days ago, we invited captains of industries, Dangote, the BUA, the Elumelu, and ministers, among others, and we all locked ourselves in a room for about three and a half hours discussing how Nigeria is going to get better, and everyone in that room, from the private sector, from the central governments and the sub-nationals, believe that this country is going to get better.

“So, I urge you to see this in line with what Professor Wole Soyinka has said, around what time? Of course, you can criticise, you can offer suggestions, but the country has to exist. Let us, please talk about all those good things happening; it’s not bad stories all the time.”

While stressing that economic challenges were not peculiar to Nigeria, the minister referenced the case of the United Kingdom, which recently slipped into a recession.

Idris said, “Nigeria is going through hard times, as we see, but this is not new and peculiar to this country. All the issues we are discussing now are issues that are also being discussed around the world.

“Only a few weeks ago, we heard that the United Kingdom had gone into recession. I am glad that it did not happen here. Otherwise, the story would be ‘Oh, Nigeria is in recession’ as if it is going to be the end of the world for the country.”

According to him, the incumbent administration started work on the first day in office, adding that the government believed that all the challenges plaguing the nation were for the country’s good.

He said, “The government of President Ahmed Tinubu, as you know, took bold steps from inception, the first one being that upon the resumption of office on day one, the President took away fuel subsidy; second, he also brought clarification to the foreign exchange regime. Now, these suggest that two major issues have been eating deep into the economy. As someone put it, the economy was a dead horse by the time the President came in, so whether the subsidy was removed or not, it would be very challenging. The President took it very boldly, ensuring that this subsidy goes away for the benefit of all, and he was prepared from day one that it was not going to be an easy thing.

“Of course, 10 months down the road, we are seeing the effects of some of these hard decisions, but I can tell you, the good story is that the government is taking bold, proactive decisions to ensure that Nigeria’s economy returns. Let me say this: The government believes that all these things are happening for the good of the country, and the economy is going to be good again.”

Recounting what the present administration had done so far, the minister urged the citizenry to focus on the positives.

“The National Bureau of Statistics recently said for the first time in a very long time that capital imports are improving by about 66 per cent. If we want to continue this movement, fuel subsidy had to go. One reason is that our consumption has decreased by over a billion litres; domestic refining capacity has increased.

“The insecurity inherited by the government; my house is in Kaduna and I drive frequently between Kaduna and Abuja. Months back, it was difficult for you to ply that road; it is either you are on a train, which is very challenging, as you know, going by some of the things that have happened, but now you can leave Abuja and go to Kaduna by 9 pm, and you can guarantee that you would get there.

“The Governor of Borno State has acknowledged that the insecurity that is there in terms of Boko Haram and banditry, among others, has been almost pushed to the back. We are not saying that insecurity has completely disappeared, but it has improved significantly in these 10 months.

“All the kidnappers that were around Abuja, making Abuja a little bit difficult, are either not with us anymore or are with the security agencies. So, these challenges will continue to be there, but the most important thing is that the government is being proactive and taking the right steps towards ensuring that all these challenges go away.”

Idris further disclosed that the petroleum sector should expect a major policy shift that would enhance the operations of the sector, adding that almost all the demands of the Nigeria Labour Congress had also been met.

“I want to tell you that very soon, you will hear a major policy shift within the petroleum industry that will enhance operations and increase investments in that sector.

“Also, the Nigerian Labour Congress has complained about the hardship in the land, which may be true, but we are happy that 24 hours after now, they also found it necessary to take action. Most of the 15-point demands that labour made in October of last year have been met; those still pending cannot easily be met. For example, in that agreement, there was the issue of the CNG buses that the government has committed over N100bn to.

“Of course, we know we cannot just buy CNG buses, processes are in place. The President said there would be a wage award of N25,000, and at the same time, labour complained, and the government said we should listen to them. He brought them in, and they had a thorough conversation. They agreed they needed nothing less than N35,000, which the president approved after doing the numbers.

“Two days ago, there was also a resumption of the suspended N25,000 monthly payment for three months that the government approved for 15 million households in this country.”

Discussing the ministerial panel established by the President, the minister mentioned that the panel had completed its work.

The information minister implored the media ‘to please report us well.’

“This is our country; we do not have any other country. If we run down businesses, and there is no other place for all of us to go to,” he added.

The Amalekites aka Israelis killed over 100 Palestinians today; the fiery flying serpent has gone berserk mindlessly gorging on human blood

Ezekiel 35:6-7
King James Version
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.


The Israelis are the Amalekites of the Bible, and all that talk about some 'right to exist' and other bla bla bla is them acknowledging the curse of God that is upon them

Numbers 24:20
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.


Amalek is the principal son of Esau just as Jacob is the bearer of Jacob's sceptre

Romans 9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.


When the world was given to the beasts, the basest will rule at the latter most end

Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Nobody will make him such an offer now and he would be foolish to accept it now. That was how the GEJ admin messed him up on the ground that he had a conflict of interest after they assured him that it was ok. They now turned round to say "You can't be a player and a referee". Then they gave Emeka Offor a license that covers Aba - the same area that Geometric had a license for.

What he needs to do - what he wants to do is to make Geometric a benchmark Genco and Distributor. Every other thing is tales by moonlight.

■ So it's only in dream the elders talk to Israel people ,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that must be a joke right
I don't follow at all! I don't get your joke. grin

The Book of Revelation is a book of dreams and visions. John said this in the first few verses of Chapter 1. So, it would not make any sense to apply literal interpretation to any of its dream/vision content unless you have another reference to work with. In much the same way you should not apply literal interpretation to things that you see in your dream unless you have another reference to help, so also you shouldn't go interpreting the content of John's Revelations without reference.

Ugandan Faith Patricia Ariokot has set a world record for the longest time to hug a tree. Guinness World Records confirmed that she wrapped her arms around a tree trunk for 16 hours and 6 seconds. The 29-year-old environmental activist says she took on the challenge to encourage others to plant trees and also highlight the need for human protection. Ariokot described the experience of selecting a tree to hug for this record attempt as "like picking a bridal dress." What lesson have you learnt from Ariokot?



Ugandan activist hugs tree for 16 hours to set world record: "The tree chose me"

An environmental activist from Kampala, Uganda, has set a world record for the longest time to hug a tree.

Faith Patricia Ariokot, 29, wrapped her arms around a tree trunk for 16 hours 6 seconds to become the first official holder of the record.

She attempted this challenge to encourage others to plant trees, and to highlight the need for humans to protect them.

“They are the greatest soldiers in the fight against climate change,” Faith said.

Faith says that selecting a tree to hug for this record attempt “felt like picking a bridal dress”.

“The tree chose me, and it was like love at first sight,” she explained. “When I saw the tree, I knew it was the one I would go for.”

This record differs slightly from ‘longest marathon’ records, such as the longest cooking marathon, where challengers accumulate five minutes of rest time after each continuous hour of activity.

Record attempts are considered to be ‘marathons’ only when they exceed 24 hours in length.

Thus, Faith was not permitted any breaks – her arms could not be released from the tree at any point, and she was required to stand for the entire duration of the record attempt.

“My feet for over 16 hours straight were killing me,” she recalls.

“The tree with its rough surface cut into my skin and caused a lot of pain to say the least, and yet I had to keep holding on.”

This was the third time within the span of a month that Faith attempted to set the record, as her camera failed to record much of her first attempt, and her second try was cut short due to a thunderstorm.

As early as one hour in, Faith considered quitting because she was discouraged by the previous two setbacks.

By the ninth hour, she admits she “broke down” and wanted to give up, but says she persevered after being consoled by the tree: “I believe trees really have feelings and can sense what we are going through. It gave me the comfort I needed to keep going.”

Faith now hopes that everyone who reads about her record, wherever they are in the world, will be inspired to go out and plant a tree.

I want to talk about love. Love for the planet. Love for the Earth. Love for each other. There is no other planet we can ever call home. And one easy way you can show love for Earth today is by planting a tree.

Aemmyjah:


The woman who was one of those who came everyday to spice his body and only on sabbath that she could not go
Just about 24 hours of not seeing his face could not recognize him
What of the disciples
What of Cephas

If u lose your best and you were with the body and after a whole day, you saw him, you won't recognize him?
De play

They did eventually recognized him. Like I said, the event of his death was so shocking and that was the talk of the Town. And they were not expecting to see him. You know that most of the Jews have resemblance because of their dress culture. This is why those who arrested Jesus needed a disciple to identify him.

Repent from your lies that cannot be substantiated with scriptures. Rather, there are too many evidences against your lies.

Even Jesus said, 'destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days'. And the scripture says it was referring to the temple of his body.

I am really shocked on how dumb the adherents of JW are. They don't even use their senses.

It's a really great book for anyone who dreams of starting their own business. If you've ever wanted to start a business but haven't yet, you should read this book. It gives you a step-by-step guide on exactly how to do it. The book is split into three parts: starting, building, and growing your business. Right now, I'll focus on starting and building it. Let's go!

Literature / Re: New Story Alert: Lingering Feelings by ZaraIhua(f): 7:00pm On Feb 27
Chapter 24

Nora's POV

A lot has happened this past few weeks. My dad and I finally had a talk, along with my Uncle James. It felt like some part of me had been made whole. It felt good I must confess. Even though we may not be best of friends or have the best family relationship, at least we are on good terms. Besides him, my father already has a family now. I don't plan on bonding but it's enough of know that I have people like them around.

I thought everything would be alright now since I've made peace with my paternal family and I'll soon get married to the man I love and live happily ever after but I guess the saying that “problem nedey finish” is just nothing but the truth.

Oscar's dad had gotten to hear about the whole thing and has sworn that over his dead body would he let his son get married to his political rival as if this is some sort of a political battle. At first, I didn't know about it but I noticed that Oscar has been ignoring his father's calls, when I inquired why?... He would always say it was nothing. I got to find out when his mom came visiting. I don't even know what to say or do about this. Am I supposed to say or do anything?.

I'm just scared of how this will affect our relationship. I know he loves me so much but I also know how much he loves and respects his father. What if he decides to succumb to his father's biddings. But then, Oscar is someone who has a mind of his own. He takes decisions for himself and stands by them.

~~~~

He had just returned from work and is now dining and eating. I didn't join him because I obviously do not have an appetite for food.
The ringing from his phone drew his attention off the food. He stared at the screen and looked away like it's nothing. I suspect it's his father.

“Your father visited today” I said, raising my voice a little so he could hear me, while I changed the TV channel. He only stared at me for a while then went back to eating his food like I said nothing.

“Baby?”

“So what did he say?”

“Nothing much, just asked where you're at”

He scoffed.

“I obviously went to work,” he said.

“Is something going on between you both?” I needed to act like I know nothing because it's obvious he doesn't want me to know.

“No, everything is fine. Did he say anything else?”

“No… nothing”

He went silent and continued with his food.

He finished eating and joined me in the living room after some while. We talked a little about the perfume store he was setting up for me. The place has been under serious set up for some weeks now. I can imagine how beautiful it would be by the time they were done.

“So by next month Nora's Scent would be commissioned….. I'm happy for you honey” he said, kissing my forehead.

“All thanks to you”.

Few seconds went by and no one said anything.

“You know what's going on between me and my father don't you?” He asked, peeping into my eyes. I thought for a while, is he taking a guess or he's actually sure I do know?.

“No… not, not really” I said, shrugging.

“You do”

“I don't”

“Don't lie to me”

“But I'm not lying”.... He knew I was lying. “Fine, I do know”.

“So why act like you don't know?”

“Cause you obviously don't want me to know. I mean, we usually don't keep things from each other but you're now-”

“I didn't want you to get all worked up because of it. He's my father, I'll get it sorted out with him, don't worry”.

I inhaled.

“I watched him in the news this morning. He didn't seem like he was gonna let it go. He openly said he's son isn't getting married to his rival’s daughter when an interviewer asked if-”.

“Don't let that bother you okay”. He said with all confidence

“He didn't look like he was joking”

“Well that's his cup of coffee. My life is not some political game he can play on, so he should endeavor to keep his political wars far away from me”.

“Don’t you think you guys can talk this out?. Rather than you avoiding his call” I tried to reason with him.

He inhaled deeply.

“I did. I did try to talk to him about it but he wouldn't see any reason with me. You recently just got to find out about your father, not like we've known for a very long time. Besides, the fact that they are both contesting for an election doesn't mean we should just go separate ways. We are getting married, whether he likes it or not”.

I didn't bother to say anything, all I did was to place my hands on his. Hoping that all this will come to an end soon without father and son fighting each other. I do not want to be the reason why this happy fatherand son bond will come to an end.

TenQ:

But, this is not the point for now. You can ask similar questions about the Trinity and I will oblige you with education.

Quran 10:24
And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers.


Ask Questions and you will learn and understand!

You will discover that it's either Islam is full of lies or Allah is as limited as Iblis as he is also one.

You don't even know the definition of Trinity yet you deny it. Is that not foolishness?

Can you tell me exactly the definition of Trinity according to Allah?

I am sure that you never saw the weakness of Taoheed like this. Can you see why you could not answer the questions?

The concept of bible , trinity is false that why we can accept bible as authentic book from Allah which Jeremiah 8:8 confirmed it

But when you talk about the gospel giving to both Moses and Jesus they only said one thing
O Isreal worship your my lord and your lord is One....
