I lost a couple of millions (Naira) to Forex trading. It was an addiction.

Even the so-called "Account managers" "managed" accounts I gave them down to zero.

I almost committed suicide during that period.
It's by God's grace and mercy I pulled through.

My phone was stolen and used to clear my accounts, the heartless people even borrowed loan with the phone. The first money that entered the account, the bank quickly collected the loan back, loan i didnt take, i was mad. It was a sad experience. Learnt bitter lessons through it. With God's help, I'm gradually getting back.

Hahaah.. I remember I did this too. My first attempt I used 100USD, after burning about 40USD, game my account to so called account manager. Those guys are terrible. Within 1 min, 60USD is burnt.

Never make the mistake of giving your account to any account managers. They are bunch of losers.
