Oil and Gas businsess: Hope not hype

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 01:22 PM PDT

This is an advertorial. Read below...
Dear friend, "Wait"…before you say "I told you so", you didn't respond to our last open Oil and Gas business launch opportunity. But meet Mr. Timothy Anike who did and here's his true story on how he lost his job and why this message will be the most lucrative article you'll ever read here today…

The True Story: Why I'm So Grateful I Lost My Job in May 2014
I recall vividly when I lost my job in May 2014. I lost my job because I was not from a certain tribe. That was a huge kick in the guts. There's no two ways about it: Losing your job is hard. Whether it has everything to do with your performance, or nothing at all, it's still hard.
 
 For your sake, I hope you have never felt this way before. But something tells me you can definitely relate. Fear, desperation…you name it…all the bad feelings set in. I was lost especially given the fact that it's difficult to get a new job regardless of who you know (that's how bad it is).

You keep hearing "Sorry bro, I'll look out for something. Once I hear there's an opening I'll let you know." Hmmm," Once I hear there's an opening indeed", I told myself. Then I told myself the truth: "If you ever bank your hopes on that line, then you are the biggest joker of the century." Now that was one hard truth I told myself! Then regret and blame set in.

I crucified myself for not taking the opportunities that came my way while I was still working like the Oil and Gas business opportunity here.


Haha, it was like Robert Kiyosaki reminded me of his words that; there's NEVER anything like Job Security. He kept appealing to my mind and heart, "Get an alternative source of income and free yourself of impending financial doom." I didn't listen!


Well, it was like God wanted to give me that second chance he had always presented before me when I was basking in the euphoria of my N250k/month job…(so poor as I look back at it today).


Well while living in my desperation and hopelessness, a friend sent me an email.
Yes a mentor. His name: Mr. Joe Okoro. He is one of the foremost and wealthiest Infopreneurs in Nigeria just like Mrs. Onome Maureen.

Hmmm, Onome Maureen, the female fighter that fires up on all cylinders business-wise. By the way I knew Onome even before this Oil and gas business opportunitycame my way but I never even knew she was part of it.

I'm referring to the one here at http://www.myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm
Well back to the mail Joe sent me. It not only saved my life but transformed it. It was a mail on how a USA based Oil & Gas company was investing in the Nigeria Oil & Gas industry to help desiring Nigerians make either a supplemental, substantial or life-changing income.


I wondered what it could be but anyways that was the least of my worries. I was more interested in getting my life back than worry what such a promising business opportunity could be. My dad had eye issues, my dear loving and ever-encouraging mother was battling with diabetes. My kid brother needed to continue in school.


All on me! I didn't ask to be the firstborn. Funny enough when I found myself in this awkward, penniless, hopeless situation I asked myself again why I was the firstborn.

Well after reading the email message, I thought to myself only the BIG guns could ever get into the Nigerian Oil and gas industry. You needed to be either already "made" or be a celebrity like Psquare or Kcee but I was WRONG. 





Little did I know that with just an investment capital of N35,000  - N140,000 I could make more than Five TIMES my previous N250,000 salary in a few months. "SCAM"…"HYPE" I can imagine you saying. Well, I did say that "BEWARE: This message could all be Hype on the Oil & Gas business UNTIL You take a Second Look" at it here ==> http://www.myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


PROOFS Do NOT Lie and you will see LIVE proofs below.

Well I arranged to attend the Oil and Gas business launch at Lagos all the way from Abuja. I recall I was to pay N10,000 to get in for the business launch but the guy who happened to be my mentor, Joe Okoro negotiated a discount for me and so I ended up paying N7,500.


By the way, I hear you can get a "BETTER DISCOUNT" today to attend the Business Launch at either Lagos, Abuja, Benin, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, Aba, Uyo, Warri, or Calabar THIS weekend ONLY (Saturday and Sunday)at it ==> http://www.myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


I met Mr. Joke Enaks via Mrs. Onome Maureen who bared it all on the Oil and Gas business in a professional but thought-provoking fashion…stating exactly what anyone stood to gain from it.


He revealed how that it's now possible for anybody, including you, to take advantage of a Brand New, Government-Approved way to do business in the petroleum sector which requires...

- No experience,
- No certificate,
- No huge start-up capital,
- No gender discrimination,
- No god father,
- Won't take much of your time,
- Does NOT require selling,


Remember I just lost my job two months earlier and like you I was filled with thoughts of all this was scam, hype and all what nots. I usually sized up presenters in any workshop or seminar and I know it's none of your business but I can still remember vividly as though it were yesterday…because it was this very Oil and gas business launch that TRANSFORMED my life and my finances.

On that day, Mr. Joke was clad in a double-breasted blazer with a black pair of pants (Brit: Trousers) and a pair of mirrored black shoes. Oh trust me, he exuded opulence. I speak this way because if you can't show me that after 17months of your life at something you've got nothing to show for it, then what's the promise that I'd get there?


Well I didn't take Mr. Joke's words when he said he made over N3.5Million per month as at June 2014.  You can see the VIDEO proofs as he logs into his Zenith bank account here at http://www.myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


Since I was jobless I decided to seize this opportunity and TODAY I am soooo grateful I lost my job because…


PROOFS Do NOT LIE!

1. I've made my First N357,000 After Just ONE Month of Starting My Oil & Gas Business

First, I feel very uncomfortable sharing this here. I'm not sharing this to brag or "convince" (ugh! I hate that word!) anyone, but I share it because it's a milestone in my career as I never made this in 5years of paid employment or doing anything else in any single month.


And so after the launch, I made the decision to start my own GLOBAL Oil and gas business and just after one month, I was paid N357,000 from some oil deals I did. Trust me it wasn't easy but just as one of the motivational videos I watched on Youtube put it, "You've gonna have to want to succeed like you want to breathe." This was my last hope I was jobless.


I know, sounds too good to be true, right? Well, not just me but meet several others who have made a nice paycheck from this business ==> http://www.myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


2. This business has made me a Millionaire just after Five months

Abraham Lincoln taught me that "if given an axe to cut down a tree in 6hrs, he would use the first 4hrs to sharpen the axe and use the last 2 hrs to cut down the tree". And I did just that and took advantage of one of the two major options of doing the business; it was rough at the beginning.

For two whole weeks I sat down and went through my training provided by Mr. Joke Enaks team and the US Oil and Gas company. Enough said. Now PROOFS.


- January 2015 Income from Oil and Gas: $8905.88. Now do the maths and multiply by the current exchange rate. I was paid directly N1.69 Million into my Nigerian bank account in Naira. $8905.88 X N190 = N1.69 Million 


This was just after 6 months of starting my business and taking responsibility for my life and NOT giving any boss that right. See my blackberry screenshot below:


3. From this Oil and Gas business I am now building my first rented apartments

This was something I could only dream about but now come true after losing my job and taking advantage of this Oil and gas business opportunity.



It's almost unbelievable all I've achieved in about 9 months from this Oil and Gas business that my job couldn't do for me in the last five years.


I'm aware that some people reading this will say this is one of those things… hype …scam. But thank God when I lost my job I didn't make that mistake even though the thoughts came, maybe my story would have been different today.

Thanks to Mr. Joe Okoro, Mr. Joke Enaks and Mrs. Onome Maureen
Best regards,
Mr. Timothy Anike
Abuja. Nigeria


Wow…a long read I know. Well Mr. Timothy is one of the many hundreds we have helped. Now, this is for real and its okay to doubt…but you must think like a champion. The lifestyle of a champion is that they keep *trying*.


What if you actually went to our website at http://myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm, you attended our business launch and it turned out to be the best financial decision you've made this year or in a lifetime. How are you going to feel about it?


Well in the next 3 -5 years from today, we're going to have more regrets for the things we didn't attempt to start than the things we actually started but failed.


So you've got to think like a champion and attend this Oil & Gas business launch. See full details about it and how to reserve your seat at http://myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


Guess what? It all started with a DECISION and a little financial capital of between N35,000 – N140,000. We never imagined that a token capital + hard work + commitment + persistence would be the success recipe for a positive lifestyle change with benefits which include:

- Weekly income
- Monthly income
- Monthly Car allowances
- Paid vacations abroad
- International recognitions
- 25% commissions etc



If you're ready to make a decision to take charge of your future, earning a six to seven figure income, then we are ready to work with you…take you by the hand, working with you to help you build your income from month 1 to month 2 and by the 12thmonth an average income of N10 million Naira.


Well, here are real life examples of people we have already helped at http://myvirtualpetrolstation.com/dalin.htm


And O… Our phone number is at the website link below just in case you want to speak with us.

But you must book a calling appointment with me first by sending a Text message with your Name + Reserve-DL-Oil + Your WHATSAPP Number + Your GSM number to book a seat or speak with me or attend our business briefing on 0803 930 7316 or +234803 930 7316

Cheers,
Your Friends – Mr. Joke Enaks and Mrs. Onome Maureen

Cory Hardrict explains that Keke Palmer & Tia Mowry 'confrontation' pic

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 12:49 PM PDT

Last week we heard that Sister Sister actress Tia Mowry was feeling some type of way about KeKe Palmer getting too close to her husband Cory Hardrict on the set of their new film 'Brotherly Love. Then when the pic on the right was released, MTO said it was a confrontation between the two women when they met at the movie premiere. But Cory says no confrontation ever happened.

Speaking with Wendy Williams yesterday, Cory said the photo showing his wife gripping KeKe's wrist and talking closely to her face was not a confrontation. He said Tia was talking to KeKe about a book deal. He said they laughed about the rumors of a confrontation and that he would never do anything to jeopardize his marriage. The two have been together for 15 years and have been married for 7 years.

Now, they say Bruce Jenner is suicidal?

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 10:01 AM PDT

InTouch Weekly claims that Bruce Jenner is on 'suicide watch' having allegedly sunk into a deep depression as he prepares to go public with details about his gender transition.

A so-called source tells In Touch "Kris Jenner and the rest of the family "are scared to death about his state of mind. The are worried and terrified that he might hurt himself  or worse. He's been a sad, emotional wreck, and friends and loved ones have him on suicide watch."

The mag alleges that Bruce feels abandoned and betrayed by his family "The whole experience is messing with his head. That's something you didn't see during the Diane Sawyer interview. No one talked about how they're afraid he may harm himself. One minute he says he's happier than ever, and the next minute, he's sobbing that he's ruined his life. It's scary. Everyone is concerned about him, now more than ever. He's a basket case. No one wants to say it, but suicide is on everyone's mind." the source said.

Another Kardashian source has since rubbished these claims, saying the suicide story is rubbish!

Jonathan to hand over power on May 29th, not May 28th - FG

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 09:21 AM PDT

Minister of Information, Senator Patricia Akwashiki says president Jonathan will hand over power on May 29th as against May 28th date earlier reported. Speaking after the Federal Executive Council meeting today April 22nd, Akwashiki said May 28th will be the last day ministries and parastatals will do their handing over of briefs while the President will hand over power to Buhari on May 29th
"In the council today, the discussion was still centered on transition. I have to make a little clarification because some people thought I said May 28 will be handover date. I never said that. I said May 28 will be the last day that we will have our handing over briefs by ministries and parastatals. I said from the 28th of this month to that date has been given to departments and ministries to submit their hand over notes.
I remember somebody asked if there will be no vacuum if there is handover on May 28 and I replied that there will be no handing over on May 28. Handing over and inauguration will hold on May 29. The President is not handing over power on May 28, he is handing over power on May 29. We have started the transition and it is ongoing. We are submitting our handover notes to the Office of the SGF. The President is still the President until May 29 when Gen. Buhari takes his oath of office and resumes as the President of the Federal Republic."she said

'Celebrities marching against piracy yet they wear fake (Pirated) watches. Stop patronizing sites like these and maybe, just maybe they would stop pirating your movies and music. Funny thing about piracy is that it only hurts when it's been done to you!

Who buys a private jet for $10m for goodness sake? Alison-Madueke

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 08:30 AM PDT

Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke asked who buys a private jet for $10million after she was accused of buying one for that amount while in office. "Who buys a private jet for $10million for goodness sake?". Mrs Madueke said while responding to questions bordering on the Petroleum Industry Bill asked by newsmen in Abuja today April 22nd. She also said she stepped on big toes with the reforms she brought but never committed any crime. What she said below...
"In that bill are all the reforms needed to tear NNPC apart, make it a National Oil company, an equity share company through transparency, accountability & responsibility and reduce corruption in the industry. We did all theses and we put them in place to reduce corruption, so for me to be tagged with various tags of corruption, $10 million jet purchases, who buys jet for $10 million dollars for goodness sake? 
And $20 billion missing money for which PWC had done a report and the $1.48 billion which is not missing, which is actually money transferred by the NNPC to NPDC which is a subsidiary and NPDC has actually started making payments under my directives. I have said during our time that there are gaps in the NNPC and I said that openly.  But I can also say that at no time in Nigerian history in the oil and gas has the NNPC been as open and audited as it is today. It has been positioned to go forward in the industry. It is true that the revenue profile is not sustainable. But we have done our best and the Nigerian oil and gas sector is today in a better shape than it has ever been in terms of achievements that we have recorded. So let me state it clearly for the records that Nigeria is my country and I am not going anywhere. I love my country and I do think that I have done the best for my country and I would also like to point these malicious, malevolence, vindictive libels need to stop. We have done enough for this industry, we cannot please everybody. Yes, we have stepped on toes but we did that in the best interest of Nigeria and we have opened up the oil and gas industry to all Nigerians, thousands of Nigerians have benefited from our reforms in the system."she said
She also said that her visit to former Military Head of state was not in anyway to seek for any soft landing because she is on her way out of office. She said in her bid to open up the oil and gas industry for more Nigerians to be involved, she stepped on many toes, particularly toes of the big cabals in the oil and gas industry
"I have not sought such assistance because I am not aware that I have been indicted of any crime that I will need a soft landing. Over the last four years, I have been severally and unfortunately accused and labelled in so many malicious and vindictive ways. I have explained these things and pushed back robustly on these accusations  and I have even gone to court on many of them. Yet they keep being regurgitated. I think it is unfortunate, particularly when we are moving into a transition period and looking forward to an incoming government  which is coming to take over where we have ended. For everything that has a beginning there is an end and that is not a surprise. What is the surprise is the sort of malevolence bothering on personal malicious libel to my person during this period of time. I do believe that I have done the best for Nigeria in this job and I have attained many firsts in the history of oil and gas especially in the reforms that we have done. In this period of time, I have stepped on many big toes, particularly the toes of the cabals that were in the industry when we came in. I have said severally that we will open up the industry to all Nigerians, and we have, but that is not to the pleasure of certain cabals.  And I have been continuously maligned because of this. We have taken millions and in fact billions of dollars out of the hands of multinationals and their subcontractors and put them in the hands of Nigerians through the Nigerian Content. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians have come into the oil and gas industry because of our reforms. Quite frankly, I think as unprecedented as it is, it does not please everybody and that cannot be helped but let us remember the unprecedented reforms that have happened in the oil industry during our time, such as major gas reforms, the Petroleum Industry Bill, which has been completely revised, reformed and put into the hands of members of the National Assembly where it has languished for two years."she said

Tidal, the music streaming service Jay-Z acquired for $56m already failing

Posted: 22 Apr 2015 06:51 AM PDT

There are reports that Jay Z's music streaming service, Tidal, is not doing well. When it was launched on March 30th, it went to number 4 on the iOS music app chart. As of this week, it's now ranks 51 on the music chart and 872 overall. Major rivals Pandora & Spotify sit in 1st and 3rd place respectively. 

According to Yahoo music
When Tidal made its big media push at the end of March, the core message was clear: While other streaming music services like Spotify and Pandora pay a pittance to artists, Tidal offers musicians a better deal. Unfortunately, Tidal also opted to use super stars like Nicki Minaj and Beyonce as spokespersons for the app. The result was the ultimate mixed message: You should feel sorry about how little money Nicki makes. Less than a month into Jay Z's Tidal reign, the rapper is already effecting major changes.



The streaming service has parted ways with Andy Chen, the CEO of Tidal's parent company Aspiro that Jay Z purchased.

Two weeks after Tidal briefly cracked the U.S. iPhone top 20 download chart, the app has crashed out of the top 700. Apparently American consumers have limited empathy towards Beyonce and Nicki. Soon after the launch fiasco, Tidal's CEO was kicked out in a "streamlining" move.  The new CEO Peter Tonstad, a former consultant for the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, has his work cut out for him.

To make matters worse for Tidal, its main rivals are now surging. On April 20th, Pandora and Spotify occupied positions No. 3 and No. 4 on the U.S. iPhone revenue chart, respectively. This was the first time two music streaming services have hit the top 4 in sales simultaneously. In order to achieve the feat, Pandora and Spotify had to push out Candy Crush Saga out of U.S. iPhone top 4 revenue chart, which is a remarkable achievement.

As a matter of fact, something curious can be seen in Spotify's download performance right after Tidal media campaign started bashing its allegedly meager payouts. Spotify surged back into the iPad Top 40 download chart on March 31st, right when Tidal's anti-Spotify invective hit fever peak in American media. This had not happened since November 2014.

It looks like Tidal's attacks on Spotify and Pandora actually managed to increase public awareness of the services, boosting particularly Spotify's download performance at the end of March. And now, a few weeks later, the combined revenue performance of the two music apps is hitting a new milestone.

To add insult to injury, Beats Music has started cracking U.S. iPhone top 20 revenue chart

"I'm not dating anyone . . . I don't have time . . ." he said. "I'm trying to focus on being the best father I can possibly be, and business, we have so many things, from the book to my philanthropic efforts to all the shows and movies I'm producing."

No regrets supporting Jonathan - Fayose

 Press statement from Ekiti state governor...
It has become imperative once again to address the media on the constitutional and political crises being foisted on our dear State, Ekiti by irritants of unbridled ambitions, who are not only devoid of spirit of sportsmanship but implacable even when all odds are against them and roundly rejected by the good people of the state.
It is no longer news that I defeated an incumbent governor in all the 16 Local Government Areas in the State and that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, attempts were made to use the courts to prevent someone who clearly won a governorship election from assuming office.
Since June 21, 2014 that the All Progressives Congress (APC) suffered that humiliating defeat,  the party has suffered defeats in the entire local government areas in Ekiti State in four other elections, the latest being the House of Assembly election in which APC won no single seat out of the 26 seats.

Ekiti people have been persistent in their preference for me and my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to correct the ills of the last four years and set the State on the path of greatness.

Despite that Ekiti people have consistently spoken with their votes against the APC, Nigerians are witnesses to the litany of illegalities being woven by both the national leadership of the party and its Ekiti State chapter, all in an attempt to rob Ekiti people of the mandate freely given to me.

Despite receiving bloodied nose in both the political and judicial arena in the hands of the Ekiti masses as represented by me, these desperate politicians are unrelenting in their shenanigans, the latest being the information at my disposal that even after May 29, the state would not know peace.

I however trust Ekiti people to do what is right in securing peace in their land.
I have been severally informed that I became the prime demolition target of the APC national leadership because of my overt and unalloyed support for President Goodluck Jonathan during the campaigns.

Insiders in their party also told me that APC leaders were also yet to get over the fact that in the entire South-West, Ekiti was the only state they could not "rob" for General Mohammed Buhari (rtd). The eagle-eyed surveillance of Ekiti people ensured that.

I wish to declare unequivocally that I remain loyal to President Jonathan even after May 29 as my support for his re-election and administration was not about bread-and-butter. I was convinced he was moving Nigeria in the right direction, despite all the noise. I have no regrets supporting him. If same situation presents itself again, I would do it all over.

Let me state It clearly that if President Jonathan is deserted by all Nigerians today, I, Ayodele Fayose, would remain with him. I have chosen to be his last-man standing.

If for this show of loyalty to Mr President and my party, APC and its leaders believe that the best way to pay me back is to make Ekiti ungovernable, the decision on appropriate reaction belongs to the people, whose mandate I keep in trust.

It is ironic that those who said worse things about the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) when they were in opposing parties, are the ones milling around him today, using him as an electoral talisman and demonizing us for saying things of lesser magnitude during a campaign that was mainly characterized by hate-messages from both divides.

I also want to put on record that if all PDP members decamp to APC today, I will remain the last-man standing for the party, even a I have no cause to denigrate the office of the president.

I also promise APC a robust and engaging opposition both in the South-West, and nationally, with me playing a prominent role.

Let me again state that I will continue to seek peace with my traducers and troublers of Ekiti.
Since the Supreme Court judgement which held my 2006 impeachment as illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect, my preachings have been peace. This is to see if a hand of fellowship as urged by elders in the state and the nation at large would bring sanity to the opposition camp. It definitely has nothing to do with cowardice; as Ekiti is a land of the brave.

In alerting the international community on what to expect from May 29 as regards the threat by the APC to make Ekiti ungovernable, I have decided to put on notice the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) on the imminent reign of impunity by APC as from May 29.

Since Ekiti people are certain to resist the planned plundering of their land, Nigerians and the world at large should know who to hold responsible in the event of anarchy in Ekiti State in particular and the entire Yorubaland.

God bless our land.
Ayo Fayose,
Governor, Ekiti State
