GlobalDosh Fantasy League: What A Fantasy!

This is a warning to anyone who may be unfortunate to have come across the GlobalDosh Fantasy League competition, and probably contemplating joining the league with the intention of winning the feigned goodies. Beware!

I'm pointing this out because I've been there and experienced everything first hand. The entry fee is on the high side, but I was induced by some GD points which I was able to get in another bogus giveaway organised by them. For the January edition, my third attempt, which I could have won comfortably, the team ahead of me (Ikeja Rovers2) was awarded 62 controversial points which I pointed out to them. The points made the team to be 1 point ahead of my team. Below is a sample for Clichy, one of the player in team(Ikeja Rovers2):



Sorry for the poor quality, I was trying to minize the screenshot in Photo paint. Clichy was credited 2 goals in the Arsenal - Bolton match (indicated by the "G" sign. And another 2 in the Aston Villa - Arsenal match which ended goalless, see the real report here: http://www.arsenal.com/match-menu/3150808/first-team/aston-villa-v-arsenal

The decision they came up with was that the January edition has been cancelled and that my entry money for that month would be refunded instead of declaring me the winner. The reason for this was that they claimed some volunteer managers assigned to input the scores was responsible. How illogical does that sound? How could you put a competitor in charge of scoring his fellow competitors. What absurdity!

If you ask me, I'd say the scoring was fixed by them. I mean with an etry fee of 30 Pounds Sterling, how many people would want to enter? So, not wanting to incur a loss, they had to lie.

If I had seen any post similar to this before I joined the fantasy football league by Globaldosh, I would have thought twice before putting close to N20,000 in it. So, I'm warning everyone to beware of those folks. There are only two options with them, you either lose or get a refund instead of winnings.

THE WONDER OF NATURE CALLED HONEY

Honey as we know it is that sweet, sticky yellowish substance produced by bees from the nectar of flowers.
Honey to many people does not mean much but just another thing to be eaten like all other sweet stuffs for eating sake, little do they know that the honey is a special gift from God and the embodiment of healing properties which when eaten alone or combined with other things could prove very helpful to one's health in many ways.

Honey is a vital source of energy and its functions also include:

1.It gives strength to the body system.
2.Honey helps the immune system to resist diseases and infections.
3.Honey helps to fight and destroy diseases
4.Honey controls and regulates the functions of the circulatory system.
5.Honey helps to send oxygen to the main brain functional system.

MEDICINAL USES OF HONEY

Below are some of the medicinal uses of honey according to some experts in honey use, but the use is not limited to these (Note:The type of honey used in this case is that of the bee and you may only proceed if you are convinced but be rest assured that this definitely is not fetish but a wonder of nature):

DRESSING OF WOUNDS - For the dressing of wounds honey can be used because it promotes healing.To use, first have the wound cleansed properly, probably with a normal saline, after which the honey will be applied and covered with a treated gauze and gauze bandage.

TREATMENT OF YELLOW FEVER - Get a quantity of guava leaves and put it in a bowl add little salt and water then sqeeze the leaves very well to produced some green water.
Sieve the water into a bottle , add some honey and drink in-between meals.

RETENTIVE MEMORY - Get 1 big bottle of gin mix it with 75cl bottle of original bee honey.
Dosage:Take 1 tablespoonful of the preparation every morning before eating breakfast.

Always have your bath with it.

MEASLES, SMALL POX AND CHICKEN POX - Rub natural pure undiluted honey on the affected parts of the body. Because of the osmotic pressure on human body, honey is capable of extracting pathogens from rashes of measles, small pox and chicken pox.The rashes soon dry up while pure formation is impeded.

HAIR BREAKAGE - Mix honey with olive oil,same quantity,,warm it and treat your hair with it.After 15 minutes,wash it with warm water.Repeat the process once every month.

TO NEUTRALISE POISON(SNAKE,SCORPION, E.T.C) - Get at least 7 bitter kola (Garcinia kola), grind and pour into a bottle, fill half of the bottle with palm kernel oil, add 5 tablespoonful of undiluted honey, mix all with 1 tin of milk, drink all the mixture.

FOR IMMEDIATE TREATMENT OF BURNS - Apply honey to the affected parts immediately. Such affected parts will not swell, neither will it turn red.

MALARIA FEVER - Chew one or two garlic bulb with 1/2 tea cup of honey early in the morning before any meal. Repeat same for 3 days.

The medicinal uses of honey are too many for me to write everything here, but if needed, I will be putting more here, God helping me. Other medicinal uses include, clearing of the throat and chest, treatment of cholera, for strong bones, boil, dyspepsia (indigestion), immune booster, loss of appetite and so much more.
