Man made dollars from home

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man who trades currency pairs (forex) has posted a video showing the moment he made $144,935.25 (N112,397,286.38) in a single trade.

He said he could now buy the Mercedes Benz he had been hoping to get for a long time. The forex trader told his friend to jump on the same trade. He, however, added that it was not a get-rich-quick scheme, as it required patience.
