  • Good day everyone.
    After this statement, I will be opening the group. In anyway, It wasn't lock by me. Everyone deserve to air out their grief.

    I want you all to disclaim the fact that I am not part of this community. Which means I have nothing beneficiary here. Non of you here is my downline or have any hierarchical link to me.

    I am here to render assistance to people cus I know almost everyone here are not digitally incline when it get to cryptocurrency or other related matter.

    Most of you attend seminar, and meet in presenting and if you could recall, I never talk about ROI, I only talk about crypto exchange, crypto platforms and how it work in comparison to Ubx.

    I use to mention that every investment comes with risk but the safest to invest in on exchanges cus which other way anything happen, they will be a remedial measure.

    Despite Ubx inability to function, the management gave a procedure to transfer funds to other DEX (M3 Dao) since Ubx is not safe in the hands of hacker and pitcher. Every exchange has to Liquidation strategy. Not all do that.

    It is not everyone's asset that is migrated in the entire community but I believe 80% of this community members asset was migrated and that because of the effort of your leader (Chidiebere Nweke).

    Some other community leader flee away in this moment. I personally attend to people whom I don't know both Nigeria and oversee.

    This would have improve if your leader is available but with the decision of some of the community members to plot an arrest for him after which he decided to call for deliberations to move things forward.

    During this phase in which he was in detainment, I have assisted a lot of people in other communities to use their GLX to invest for newer user and settle them at the end. I can't do that here cus I have not hierarchy with you guys all. In this system, you can only send asset to your upline or downline.

    Some of you will say that you ask me before investing but we all should know that every investment comes with risk but we all have to take risk but necessary risk.

    I am also in the system, which translates that what happen to one happen to all.

    I personally come to open our hall for Seminar because I want everyone to feel comfortable. If we are to use a commercial all, we have to pay for it and that will be a cost to every member that want to attend it.

    You are free to air out your mind.

    Note that, the system is still working and your asset have utility that can be converted to the money you had invested. You just need to have understanding with you leader.

    Thank you

  • Tunde Ednut was offered ₦250 million to support Tinubu and launch attacks against Peter Obi, but he turned it down.

    Let this serve as a reminder: we are battling principalities and powers. Stay vigilant.

  • VeryDarkMan Sparks Reactions After Linking Up with Sam Larry & Naira Marley!

    In a bold and unexpected move, VeryDarkMan just posted a picture of himself with Sam Larry and Naira Marley on Instagram — two major figures who were heavily dragged following Mohbad’s tragic passing.

    But VDM made it clear in his caption:

    > “I’m not here to take sides — I’m here to dig deeper and reopen Mohbad’s case for real justice. This isn’t over.”

    Whether you love him or not, VDM is known for going where others won’t and asking the hard questions.

    Will this move bring him closer to the truth or cost him public support? One thing’s for sure — the internet is watching closely.

    All the best VDM — justice must be served!

  • APC CONVENES SOUTH-SOUTH SUMMIT IN EDO STATE TO STRATEGISE ON RENEWED HOPE AGENDA AND REGIONAL POLITICAL FUTURE

    The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the convocation of a high-level South-South Summit, aimed at consolidating its political vision under the Renewed Hope Agenda and charting a strategic course for the party’s future across the South-South geopolitical zone.

    With the theme: “Renewed Hope in Action: Strengthening APC Mobilisation and Governance in the South South”, the Summit is expected to serve as a unifying platform for policy dialogue, political recalibration, and regional reawakening within the framework of the party’s national objectives.

    The APC extends a formal invitation to all distinguished party stakeholders, comprising both current and former officeholders from the South-South region. These include serving and past governors, deputy governors, members of the National Assembly, ministers, and key figures from the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Working Committee (NWC).

    Also invited are state-level leaders, including APC chairmen and secretaries, serving and former speakers of State Houses of Assembly, federal political appointees from the region, as well as former and current zonal and state officers of the party, including youth leaders and secretaries.

    Party sources indicate that the Summit will provide an opportunity to assess the party’s structural cohesion in the South-South, reflect on recent electoral dynamics, and formulate a forward-looking blueprint to strengthen the APC’s presence and political influence in the zone.

    In line with the Renewed Hope philosophy espoused by the party at the national level, the South-South Summit will also deliberate on mechanisms for deepening grassroots engagement, enhancing intra-party unity, and delivering tangible democratic dividends to citizens of the region.

    The convocation of such a wide spectrum of leadership underscores the party’s commitment to inclusive dialogue, strategic consensus-building, and the mobilisation of experience across generations of APC leadership in the South-South.

    As the region remains a critical frontier in Nigeria’s political calculus, the Summit is expected to generate robust conversations around party consolidation, governance priorities, and the strategic repositioning of the APC ahead of future electoral cycles.

    The Summit is scheduled for Saturday, 5th July 2025, at the Victor Uwaifo Centre Hub in Benin City, and is expected to commence at 10am.

  • 2027: I Will Float A New Party If ADC Mess Up - Elrufai

    Nasir El-Rufai has indeed revealed a plan to float a new political party as a contingency should the current coalition's chosen platform, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), encounter significant internal crises or political sabotage.

    This revelation comes amidst reports of an internal conflict brewing within the ADC, with a faction of the party, known as the "Concerned Stakeholders of the ADC," publicly opposing its adoption by the coalition.

    They've cited a lack of transparency and consultation in the adoption process, asserting that the ADC is not a "private coalition platform" for political merchants.

    El-Rufai, a key figure in the new coalition, stated that while the ADC was chosen initially because it was "currently not facing any internal crises," they are proactively preparing for potential challenges.

    He explicitly mentioned that they are "currently preparing to register a new political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prevent any political sabotage that could undermine this coalition in the future."

    He further explained that "This new party will serve as an alternative for us to avoid any form of challenges that have happened in recent times with other political parties in the country."

    This indicates a strategic foresight by the coalition to ensure they have a stable and crisis-free platform for their 2027 ambitions, even if their initial choice faces unexpected hurdles.

  • NIGERIA UPDATE: ACCEPTANCE SPEECH by: GOV RAUF AREGBESOLA on appointment as THE INTERIM NATIONAL SECRETARY, ADC - The party platform adopted by the National Opposition Coalition Group - Tuesday, 1st July, 2025

    Dear Party Leaders, Distinguished Members, Friends, and Fellow Citizens,

    It is with deep humility, a profound sense of duty, and unwavering hope for our people, nation, race and party and that I accept the appointment as The National Secretary of our great party.

    I thank the leadership for the trust reposed in me. But more than that, I thank every committed member of this party are those who still believe that politics can be a force for good, people who believe that party forms government and must control it. Those who believe in the supremacy of the party in a democracy and all products of democratic contests. Those who recognise that parties must stand for and with the people in the promotion of their interests and aspirations. That parties therefore are not merely machines for winning elections but institutions for mobilizing, organizing, energizing, educating, empowering and encouraging the people towards their emancipation and development.

    Let me begin by saying this: a political party is not a platform for opportunism. It is not a mere vehicle to power for the few, nor a tool for personal ambition. A political party, in its truest form, is a living institution—built on values, guided by ideals, and accountable to the people it seeks to serve.

    Throughout Africa’s history, and particularly in the legacy of the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa; a 113 year- behemoth of party organization that is impeccable in its credibility as a model of supremacy of party over its creation (government and popularly elected officials) have seen what a party grounded in ideology, principle, and people-centered struggle can achieve. The ANC is not perfect—but it stands for something. It was forged in resistance, sharpened by vision, and led by men and women who believe in justice, dignity, equality, inclusivity of all interests and true freedom. It has character. It has soul. It is therefore a true platform for the expression of their aspirations.

    Sadly, in Nigeria today, we cannot say the same about many of our political parties.

    Our political landscape is plagued by parties that lack ideological depth. They are empty shells—merging and splitting, not over policy or principle, but over power and personality. There is little regard for the people, and even less for the country.

    That is not the kind of party we must be. That is not the kind of party I will serve.

    As The National Secretary, I will work to build a party that has a clear ideological compass—a party that is absolutely committed to the people, rooted in democratic values, rule of law, social justice, accountability, transparency and national development. A party that listens and works for to the people, not only during elections, but every single day.

    We must become an institution where:
    (1) Internal democracy is not just preached but practiced.
    (2) Intra-party competition is transparent, fair, and just.
    (3) All party structures from the ward to the national level and function effectively and efficiently.
    (4) Young people, women, and the marginalized have a real voice, not symbolic inclusion.
    (5) All special and critical interests(security, educators, farmers, workers, women, youth, professionals, people with special needs, etc., must be recognised and allowed to have autonomous structures within the party.

    We will model international best practices in party organization, administration, and ethics. We will study what works—from South Africa to Sweden, from Chile to Kenya, and adapt what fits our local reality. Discipline, order, clarity of purpose, and service to the people must define us.

    We must be the party that talks about public education and actually builds schools. That speaks of security and supports real policies to keep our communities safe. That believes in jobs and works to create them. That stands for Nigeria not just during elections, but in everyday governance.

    This is not an easy task. It will take time. It will demand sacrifice. But it can be done.

    I ask for your support not just in words, but in action. Hold me accountable. Challenge me when I stray. And stand with me as we begin this journey to rebuild our party, restore its soul, and return politics to its rightful place—as a service to the people.

    Thank you, and may our work ahead be worthy of the hopes our people place in us.

    Long live our party. Long live our democracy. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

  • BREAKING: Ex-President Buhari Rushed to London Hospital – in Critical Condition

    Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has been hospitalized in London and is currently receiving intensive medical care due to a serious health issue. Insider reports indicate that what started as a routine check-up quickly turned into a critical situation, but thankfully, doctors have managed to stabilize him.

    This news has sparked renewed frustration among the public regarding Buhari’s history of seeking medical treatment abroad, despite his promises to enhance Nigeria’s healthcare system during his eight years in office.

    It’s worth noting that Buhari spent over 200 days outside the country for medical reasons while in power, all the while Nigerian hospitals continue to struggle with underfunding, lack of staff, and overwhelming patient loads.

    Nigerians are expressing their thoughts, saying, “The man who couldn't build even one world-class hospital for Nigerians is now relying on foreign doctors again.”

    “We hope for his recovery, but let this serve as a wake-up call to all politicians: it’s time to fix the country before it’s too late.”

  • Please date a man who is kind... not just to impress you in the beginning, but consistently, even when he’s tired, frustrated, or not getting his way. Date a man who’s emotionally available, someone who can have real conversations without shutting down, dismissing your feelings, or making you feel like you’re too much. Don’t waste your energy chasing someone for crumbs of attention when you deserve a steady, full plate of love and presence.
    Date a man who provides, and no... it’s not just about money. It’s about providing emotional safety. Providing effort. Providing peace. It’s about knowing that if life gets heavy, he’ll help carry the weight... not add to it. He shows up, not just when it’s easy, but when it matters. He doesn't disappear during conflict or guilt-trip you for having needs. He makes you feel held, protected, and chosen.
    Date a man who speaks to you with patience. One who listens, even when he doesn’t fully understand yet. A man who talks to you, not at you. One who doesn’t use tone, silence, or sarcasm as weapons when things get hard. Someone who remembers that respect doesn’t go out the window just because there’s a disagreement. You deserve a love that doesn’t make you question your worth every time the conversation gets uncomfortable.
    Because life will test you. Stress will come. Things won’t always be perfect. But your relationship should be your safe place, not another battlefield. Choose someone who makes you feel calm, seen, supported... someone who feels like peace after a long day, not more chaos to recover from.
    Date a man who doesn’t just say “I love you” ...
    but makes you feel it.
    In how he speaks.
    In how he shows up.
    In how he never makes you doubt that your heart is safe with him.

    Psalm 91 is a beautiful and powerful passage! Here it is:

    "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
    I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.’

    He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
    You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
    nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.

    A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
    You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

    If you say, ‘The Lord is my refuge,’
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
    no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
    For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
    they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

    You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
    ‘Because he loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
    He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
    With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.'"

    May the promises and truths in Psalm 91 bring you comfort, peace, and assurance of God's protection and love!

    The commandant said that the sealing was germane to ensuring internal security in the FCT.
