“The reason El-Rufai was able to get away with what he did at that time was because he had the full backing of former President Buhari.”

Mbappe returns and shows Vinicius how it is done within 45 minutes. Another cleansheet for Madrid and a 3 goal victory. Very good signs but I have an advice for Vini after yet another terrible performance .
This is why "forex gurus" sell you a course instead of encouraging you to study institutional finance and understand how interbank liquidity actually works.
If the students of Habby Forex and Jeffrey Benson truly understood capital dynamics, they would never believe the ridiculous claim that Jeffrey withdrew $9 million from an offshore retail broker like Assex Markets or Kwakol. The only way such a massive withdrawal could legitimately happen is if these brokers possessed active clearing contracts and institutional settlement lines with Tier-1 liquidity providers like JPMorgan Chase, which they simply do not have.
The primary purpose of selling courses is to control the narrative and keep students in the dark. The irony is that, strictly speaking, these influencers are not even real forex traders, and their audience fails to realize this due to a complete misunderstanding of market microstructure and broker execution models.
A retail broker like the ones Habby Forex promotes is no different from a Bet9ja shop. When you walk into Bet9ja and place a bet that Real Madrid will beat Barcelona, you are simply entering into a private wager with the betting house.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, and La Liga have no idea your bet exists, and neither the players nor the league earn anything whether you win or lose. Your win is an outright loss for the betting house, and your loss is their direct profit. The betting house remains profitable because they know that over 90% of gamblers will eventually lose all their money, and even the rare few who win substantial sums usually gamble it all back.
This is precisely how the brokers used by Habby Forex and Jeffrey Benson operate. When you open their trading app, you see live charts of forex price movements, much like watching live scores on a sports betting app. But when you place an order, that trade is logged solely on the broker's private server. The broker makes zero attempt to route or execute your order in the real interbank market. Routing orders to real global liquidity providers requires massive upfront capital, bridge fees, and transaction costs. Because statistics show that roughly 90% of retail traders wipe out their account balance within 90 days, the broker has no financial incentive to incur costs by sending your order to the real market. They simply wait for you to blow your account so they can pocket 100% of your deposit.
This is also why these brokers offer absurd leverage like 1:2000, as it ensures you lose your money as quickly as possible. In the real financial world, leverage consists of strictly collateralized credit lines. In the United States, retail leverage is legally capped at 1:50; in the UK and EU, it is capped at 1:30; and in many emerging markets, it is even lower to prevent systemic risk due to lack of liquidity.
Ultimately, these brokers partner with forex influencers like Habby and Jeffrey Benson to funnel inexperienced traders onto their platforms. They pay these influencers massive commissions for every referral, and under certain affiliate deals, they even pay them a percentage of their followers' trading losses, because client losses are where the broker makes the most money.

We have certain audacities that even the Apostles did not have.
When God healed Paul's companion, Epahroditus, Paul responded as one with zero sense of entitlement and full of awe he said God had mercy on them.
These behaviours we manifests come from a low view of God. We are victims but also perpetrators of the American view of the gospel that was brought into Nigeria in the 80s.
It's this mentality that man has super agency. We don't see things in the light of how God ordains all things by directly causing or permitting.
We think of things in the light of how we are in control and God fosters our control of things.
It's exhausting to talk about these things.
And honestly some times, I remember when I thought like that and pray that those who do these things will eventually but soon outgrow this heterodoxies.
This American way of thinking makes us presumptuous. Presumption in God's presence is sinful.
To be presumptuous is to forget your limits and cross them into the arena of things that are God's prerogative just because God has shown your mercy and used you before.
Nadab and Abihu's "strange fire" were actually presumptuous fire. God hates it. That's why He dealt severely with Saul, Uzziah and even Uzzah.
God showed us the just recompense of presumption in the old testament. Let us know that God has not stopped hating presumption. But we are enjoying the stay of execution that God's love in the sacrifice of Jesus affords.
Let us not take God's forbearance as slothfulness or acceptance of sin. Let's see it as mercy giving us time to repent.
I speak to my generation, repent of being presumptuous in God's presence.
Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and do not be forward as to arrogate things to yourself that are God's prerogative because in the past His mercy has allowed you enjoy some things.
Faith is not presumption. Faith is trusting in God and following His will not ours.
Apostolic faith looks to God's love and goodness not itself. Biblical faith has no sense of entitlement but is constantly in awe of God's power and kindness.
If healing doesn't sound from our hearts and mouths as an act of God's mercy we have become presumptuous.
If healing sounds from us like our prerogative, we have forgotten who the One we are worshipping really is.
Let us imitate the Apostles. Not the Americans.
I hope this helps someone.
Regeneration - Freed from the power of sin.
Justification - Freed from the penalty of sin.
Sanctification - Freed from the practice of sin.
Glorification - Freed from the presence of sin.
xAI is in talks to raise up to $6 billion in a new funding round that would value the company at $50 billion, doubling xAI's previous valuation of $24 billion from just a few months ago.
What is motivating this funding round?
xAI plans to use the cash to purchase 100,000 Nvidia chips for its new Memphis supercomputer facility to provide the computational power to train and run xAI's chatbot Grok.
This higher valuation positions xAI to compete more closely with industry leader OpenAI (currently valued at $157 billion). Despite being a newer entrant than the other AI chatbot companies, xAI's real-time access to X's data could enable Grok to be the most current and context-aware AI chatbot.
I leave Madrid tonight, heading back home. On behalf of all my friends who are Real Madrid fans, I visited the 85,000-capacity Santiago Bernabéu stadium last night and am coming home in their home colors. I searched for Kylian Mbappé and for a moment I thought I found him. Alas!
