    Daniel Ally Self-Made Millionaire & Business Expert       I hear people giving financial advice all the time. Most of them aren't rich.   Those who are rich would disagree with what many charlatans preach. The other day, I came across an article proclaiming, "Skip your lunch, don't buy expensive coffee, cut your hair less often." This is a horrendous way to live your life and it promotes poverty. It's smart to be thrifty, but you don't want to be cheap. You should never do anything that will deprive you from your joy.   I promote prosperity--and taking away these simple pleasures will not make you rich. It will drive you to be more frustrated from these unrealistic disciplines. Most of these hypocrites who profess these antics haven't even made it financially. They just sit at a keyboard in a delusional manner, waiting for a payday that often never happens.   Financial advice is freely given by most people...

By Edo Nation According to the oral history of Lagos, at some point around 1300-1400 CE, the Oba (King) of the Benin Empire - who used to send trade expeditions to Ghana, where spices were traded - heard from one of his traders complaints about the way she was being treated by the Awori who lived in the area of current day Lagos. The Oba of Benin then sent a trade expedition by sea to engage with the Awori people, who nonetheless declined to engage and attacked the mission sent by Benin because they were too afraid to even attack, if they did, the consequences would be to severe for them. When the mission returned to Benin City, the Oba of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by Ado, a Benin Prince, which headed to the settlement of the Awori (current-day Lagos; the whole area was called Eko by the Benin people) and demanded an explanation from the settlers there on why they would ever dare to treat a Benin trader without respect. On getting there, Ado and...

African Vogue As you climb the Mbiama Bridge heading towards Warri in the heart of the Delta; a common boundary between Rivers State and Bayelsa State in south-South part of Nigeria lays the renowned Mbiama Market.   The market is on the forgotten section of the east west road that even the rush work fever during Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s reign could not affect despite being less than four kilometres meters from the Former Presidents State and it is also the section the President must pass through by road if he is going to his home town from the Port Harcourt airport. The most obvious sign of the Market before getting to the market if you are new to this part of the world is the long queues of cars moving at a snail pace from   two directions every market day . Either coming from Warri or Port Harcourt,   the traffic from Warri usually starts fifty meters before the famous Yenagoa junction (Militants demonstration ground) which is also about hundred meters befo...

The Internet Is Going Crazy Over Photos That Could Prove Jon Snow Is Alive By Maya Rhodan @m_rhodan Helen Sloan—HBO Kit Harington as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Paparazzi pictures purport to show Jon Snow on set New paparazzi pictures appear to show actor Kit Harington on the set of Game of Thrones in Belfast, Ireland, raising questions about the characters true fate. The internet is in a tizzy over the new shots, considering his character, Jon Snow, died in the show’s Season 5 finale. The Daily Mail published grainy photos of the star, which show him on set in full costume with sword in hand. The shots are particularly provocative considering Harington’s recent statements on his future with the show. A September interview with Belgian news outlet Humo, as translated by a user on Reddit, has been interpreted by some as an admission by the actor that Jon Snow is indeed alive. “The important thing is that I now know exactly how long I am still under contract … Let’s just sa...
