  1. Hello friends,
    i really came here to share my testimony on how i became an Illuminati member, through my friend. i was moving with my friend for more than 10 years and he have been getting rich everyday and even giving me money but he never told me the secret of his success until a day i was frustrated to let him know that he should help me.that was when he opened up to me and tell me that he was a member of the Illuminati that he have been in the cult for more than 10 years that his riches and protection came from this cult.so i told him to let me be into the court but its not an easy task to be a member but i was finally initiated into the fatality of the Illuminati and i was confirmed in their church. after a month of being a member of Illuminati i got promotion that same month in my working place and within a year i was promoted thrice in my working place to the extend of being a managing Director. i never know how to thank this church of Illuminati and today i am rich as my friend also, and also the one that surprise me most was that i got an accident with my new car and the car was right off but i still survive the accident and nothing happen to me. i really thank you people of Illuminati. so i just want to share to the world that this is real and it have helped me and worked for me so if you want to become a member i can lead you into the cult of richness and protection and even famous and you will never be poor again, know that it only a member in the Illuminati that can initiate you into the church of Illuminati they do not contact directly that the rules that guide the church. because they are fake Illuminati all over the world, this is my email oyeyetemple@outlook.com then i will tell you how to join, my number is +2348115531558. thanks for wanting to join us.
