"Hello Ladies, Marriage Shouldn’t Be Your Goal If You’re Not Financialy Independent"- Ali Baba

Nigerian comedian, Ali Baba in his advice to ladies in a post he shared via his social media space said, 'if as a lady, you are not financially independent, marriage should not be your priority' The modern relationship and marriage is certainly not in the same mold as the ones of old. "Money, bills, finances, holidays, gifts and basically how money is generally spent in a [marriage] is now more joint, and the idea of marriage as a partnership has never been more seriously taken.   "Couples in serious relationships now make plans before marriage on how much each partner contributes of their monthly income, they discuss joint accounts, and how bills are settled; and really, this is the advisable model, except one partner is super rich and can afford to handle all of the bills and finances."

Man Converts An Abandoned Boeing 727 Airplane Into A House(photos)

Bruce Campbell, a retired 64-year-old American engineer, has always had a creative vision. In 1999, Campbell purchased a Boeing 727 aircraft from Olympic Airways, based at Athens Airport, USA. He bought the aircraft for a whopping sum of $100,000. After acquiring it, he had to transport the massive aircraft to a forest in Hillsboro, Oregon, where he already owned a 10-acre piece of land that cost him $23,000. Transporting the plane from Athens, Greece, to Oregon proved to be the most daunting task. Transporting the aircraft cost him about $120,000. There, he turned the otherwise scrap of a plane into a beautiful upcycled masterpiece. Campbell believes that airplanes can have so much potential outside of their intended use. This was how this man used a good dose of imagination, an old plane and a large plot of land to create one of the most unique houses in the world. See photos of the airplane home of Bruce Campbell in the deep forest of Hillsb...
