please take this HYIP off my thread! |
Pls remember to come here to share your testimonies as your adopt the above strategies |
Over the past few days, the price of bitcoin has dropped drastically from about $4500, to about $3000 as at the time of the article. As we all know, the price of the coin is determined by the number of new users who adopt the coins, as well as the confidence of investors, who buy BTC for the long term, as price is expected to increase overtime due to the limited supply against rising demand. However, the action of the Chinese government, as well as the statement from the CEO of JP Morgan, who called bitcoins a fraud, that would soon explode, has caused a lot of panic selling, which ultimately saw the coin drop about $500 in value in a single day. I am sure a lot of bitcoin holders who look at the dollar value of their coins would probably be having trouble sleeping at night, coupled with high blood pressure. Solution To make your mind be at rest, and also to hedge your investment from losses, if you are not so confident, you can change your bitcoins to USDT(tether) which is digital dollars. So as the price keeps going down, your USDT value would be growing(thereby making you some extra when you change back to bitcoins). But remember, this is a Hedging strategy, if you are not so sure that bitcoins would rise back to the amount it was before. You can change a portion of your BTC to USDT, the amount you change is up to you, after you have done your own analysis. Also make sure that you change back to bitcoins once you notice the price bitcoins is rising close to the level that you bought the coin. I would like to give you the link of a reputable exchange, which i have inputted on my profile. You can PM me if you need further clarifications. |
pls show proof of earnings |
sorry to hear how you feel @op. However, I m a son of the most high God, there is no other connection higher than that!!! And I bring you good news too, if you want to on the winning side of life, and be more than those people who you think are sons of "somebody", my father is ready to adopt you, and more sons, and trust me, your story would change after that. You can pm me so that I can introduce you to my father! |
something has to be done about this jungle justice system. How do they know for sure this is a badoo member? Because it now seems that the residents are killing more people than the dreaded badoo, all in the name of community policing.Thank God the police were able to rescue this one, and i really hope a proper investigation is done. It is better to let 10 guilty people go scout free, than to kill an innocent man! |
fatymore:untill you get shot by a thief, or someone you love is shot by armed robbers, then you would understand that a lot of innocent lives have been lost because of Nigerian hospitals requesting for police report!!! |
I saw this post on facebook made by one Mr Ogbo Awoke Ogbo, and i decided to share it here. I hope the government takes a more proactive approach to curb a natural disaster that is waiting to happen in our backyard. Please read below and share your thoughts.. √The Lekki-Ajah Corridor Hex - The Present and Future Floods By Ogbo Awoke Ogbo ¶Actually, I lied in Church this morning - small “white lie.” The preacher, a retired army general, referring to the Lekki and VI floods, mentioned a disturbing dream he had had a couple of years ago in which the entire VGC and Lekki areas were completely submerged. At the time of his dream, I worked for Chevron in a role as Geographic Information Systems Team Lead between 2000 and 2006. The Company itself is situated in the heart of the Lekki Peninsula. I also lived around the Alpha Beach area at the time. The learned general approached me and narrated his concern. He asked what I knew about the geologies and situational geographics of the area. ••• Before his dream, my concern about a possible natural disaster in the area was already established. Before going to work, I had jogged every morning, often to the Alpha beach behind our residence. It amazed me, at the time, just by mere visual awareness, how each year, the Atlantic claimed a significant portion of the beach in a determined advance. No one measured! Again, every year, we experienced an ocean surge in the area. I noticed that each year, the surge advanced into the Igbo Efon area significantly further than the preceding year. No one measured. ••• Third, during the five years I appeared live on Silverbird TV, there were times, after an overnight rainfall, I literally swam with my SUV to the partially submerged TV station behind the Jakande Area. That is not even where I am going. While waiting for my slot on TV, I would go to the Beach behind STV to meditate. Friends, within a period of 5 years, I saw the ocean claim 5 or 6 rows of coconut palm trees lining the beach! That would have been about 30 meters in 5 years! No one was measuring! Why measure such things when "God is in control?" Well, then, using the available historical sub-meter pixel satellite imagery of the area and a digital elevation model, I did a cursory study of the peninsula. What I saw startled me. (But I must state upfront that this was not a thorough scientific enquiry that is critical for understanding the gravity of a disaster lurking in the distance.) ••• Number One: Lekki is completely flat - there’s very insignificant variation in altitude. Two: Lekki is somewhat below sea level. A combination of those two factors meant that a mere 50 cm rise in the Atlantic ocean level could rapidly build a handshake between the ocean and the Lagoon. I hate to imagine the implication to the VI-Lekki-Ajah corridor. But who cares? And who should care when “God is in control” as we say in Nigeria. No one will measure. ••• About the time I worked in Chevron, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had estimated a very conservative forecast of rise in ocean levels of 65 cm by 2100. That has since been adjusted to over 100 cm. We may say, “Oh 2100 is a long way ahead!” And that is what kills the “Black Man!” (pardon the racial cliché). Lack of foresight! Poor planning. Thinking and living for the moment only. No one is measuring. Well, the bad news is that scientists are not sure how fast or how soon this 100 cm rise will happen and what other geological events other than polar ice melting could trigger the rise. ••• We saw a little rainfall a couple of days and panicked. Like the behind of a hen when the breeze blows, we were confronted by our unclothedness and utter helplessness with just a little rain. How about if it rained 40 days and 40 nights? Here is the worst tragedy of all: We're not learning! Uka Igwe, my boyhood friend, posted what I thought was the most brilliant commentary on the Lekki-VI floods on his Facebook wall this morning, Said he: “We have recently been inundated with pictures of flooding all over Lekki in Lagos, there have also been stories of continuous rain for nearly a week. The pictures are distressing especially for the people who live in Lekki, Victoria Island, Aja etc. “However what has been missing seems to be any structured reports of the amount of rainfall that has caused this. How many millimeters of rainfall has caused this amount of havoc. "This kind of information is invaluable in proffering a solution to the problem. I hate to think that perhaps there is no such information available. Right there in Victoria Island is the National Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research. I shudder to think that even they don't have the data.” That, my friends, is the tragedy of the Nigerian situation. Someone who works at the Agency that Uka referenced actually confirmed that the data doesn’t exist! In his depressing words, the Federal Agency, like others, is there “just to receive allocation and salary!” ••• Listen, people, it is impossible to run a civilization on haunch and feelings! A poor country will remain a poor country UNTIL they begin to make RESEARCH and DATA-DRIVEN decisions! I’m terrified to imagine that no one is capturing data on these floods! I’m terrified that no agency is on TV showing us an impact map of the event! Because none exists. ••• Nature is so kind. The Vanguard Newspaper report of July 8 began with “As usual flood ravaged Lekki, Victoria Island … after many days of down pour….” Did you notice the “As usual?” Each year, the Lekki-VGC-VI corridor receives a yellow card. How many more yellow cards before the red, no one knows. I’m not a Murphy evangelist but from experience if a red might come, it will come. It’s just a matter of when. About the lie. The preacher said, “I hope this is not the reason Ogbo moved out of the Lekki area.” My lie: “Not really. Lekki and VGC are for the big boys! And I’m not a big boy yet.” I actually ran away from the area but I didn't want to sound as if the people living there were not smart. We have the cream of Nigeria in that axis. For all I care, I might just have been a coward - what our people call fear-fear. •••Nevertheless, Lagos has zero natural disaster contingency plan as many families discovered over the weekend. No one came for you as you watched your beautiful sitting room turning into a fish pond. No one has even mentioned insurance in the narratives. Same thing in Port Harcourt. Aba Road is to Port Harcourt what testicles are to a man. Hold him 'there' and he throws up his hands in surrender. If a disaster sinks Aba Road 2 million residents will be trapped in a rabbit hole. ••• If the Lagos government would listen, there needs to be an urgent thorough interdisciplinary study of the State involving scientists, geologists, soil scientists, engineers, satellite remote sensing experts, GIS, oceanographers, marine biologists, anthropologists, computer scientists and so on. There are analytical and predictive tools to model the next 5, 10, 50, 100 year scenarios and plan intelligently. ••• At best, my people of Lekki, VGC, Ajah and VI, please stay as dry as you possibly can. That’s what Facebook tells me whenever the rain is about to fall. May God bless and keep you safe! cc lalasticlala |
stanogb:i just sent you a message via the email address on your profile. |
hello peeps, i have a GHW account that has an outstanding amount of $700 bitcoin for sale.Interested person should contact me via my email on the signature. Thanks |
FX:i have sent an email to the address on your profile.Please respond. |
the story will not finish sef? |
@op, you guys can still work things out.From the message you sent, you mentioned that you have been having a long distance relationship for a while. All these things also depends on how mature the two of you are, and what your specific plan for the relationship is. In a nutshell, you can stil work things out, but just remember to shine your eye, going forwards(i also dont think she should ever visit the dude again given the circumstances, you cant be sending a goat to visit a lion) |
Kimberlylouis:i advise you change this tactics ASAP. If you dont, your BF would find someone very soon who would give him all the love, attention and care he isnt getting from you. I also advise that you start seeing urself as beautiful, cos if you werent so in his eyes, he wouldnt be dating you. think about it, he left those other girls, and chose you. So you must be special to him, therefore you should show you appreciate his gestures, and reciprocate. Playing hard to get is immature, and a sure way to lose. |
CondomSir:i understand, i m not talking about misunderstanding in general, i meant..doesnt she complain that you dont give her attention? you dont compliment her when she dresses? or take her out? or listen to her? |
CarolineOlawale: , i hope all is well with you! |
CarolineOlawale:very sad...why are you bitter today? bitterness is one of the root causes of cancer and many incurable diseases. Bitterness would dry you up from your bones, so smile today, forget your pain, life is transient! |
@op, what you should be concerned about is what led your gf to do those things, find out if there is something you havent been doing that made her even give that guy some attention. |
CarolineOlawale: |
FvckShiT:u must be a teenager!!! |
it depends, please clarify what u mean by dating, were they just hanging out, saying sweet stuffs, sexting or already having sex? |
ffff |
Kimberlylouis:that depends, my experience with introverts is that there are actually coded extroverts, but only to people that are really close to them. The introverts i had stuffs with in the past are even the wildest ones, cos all the crazy stuff they dont do, is all bottled within, waiting for just one person to pour it all out to! |
Kimberlylouis:it depends, but i think introvert are very good conversationalist when you get to talk with them one or one! |

I jst feel terrible smtyms coz he complains bitterly most tyms!
, i hope all is well with you!
