3. Ally Mollo (13 Years Old) Of G.A.R.D. Ally has been said to be building a doll empire with her business, Guardian Angel Rainbow Division (G.A.R.D.), which began when she was only 8. As a child, she was inspired to draw guardian angels by her mother and grandfather who always told her her father was watching over her. Soon enough, Ally and her mother decided to turn the sketches into dolls so they could afford comfort to other children as well. Each is designed with different ethnic features and different background stories. Today, the dolls are sold by nearly 20 retailers, with profits benefitting a charity of the buyers choice. Currently, the thirteen year old has an animated show based on the dolls in the works.

6. Thomas Suarez (15 Years Old) Of CarrotCorp At just 12 years old, Thomas Suarez had generated enough buzz to land himself a spot on TED Talks, where he discussed his role as an app developer. His interest in technology led him to teach himself the basics such as Python and Java. From there, he created Earth Fortune, and convinced his parents to pay the fee to get it in the app store. From there, his passion only grew, and he launched an App Club at his school to teach other like-minded students the tricks of the trade. Today, he owns CarrotCorp, an app development company which is also presently seeking to revolutionize the art of 3D printing.

10. The Johnsons (15, 18 & 20 Years Old) Of Flipoutz Siblings Jake (15), Lachlan (18) and Erin (20) developed the idea for Flipoutz one day to pass the time during a long family road trip. The interactive bracelets are designed with the client’s personal touch. Personalized coins in the bracelet can be bought, traded and tracked online. This allows kids to see where their coins have gone and who have owned them overtime. Back in 2010, the family even walked away with $100,000 from Shark Tank. They now hold deals with multiple online stores, and their product is even selling well in independent retail stores.

2. 2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6: $615,000 The 2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 has all the same precision craftsmanship that the G63 AMG does. So why is it listed at $615,000? Not only is the engine made by some of the best in the world, but this thing is huge. The AMG 6×6 stands about eight feet tall and stretches 19 feet from bumper to bumper. Its name comes from its three axels which make the 6×6 stand on six 36 inch tires. This is one of the baddest SUVs ever made; it is definitely the biggest.

3. 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Black: $184,105 Like the Sport Supercharged Autobiography, the Range Rover Autobiography Black is a limited edition upgrade offered for 2014 on Land Rover’s best-selling model. The Range Rover is the mid-sized model offered by Land Rover. This special edition model costs a customer $184,105. It has a 5.0 liter supercharged V-8 engine capable of 503 horsepower. The vehicle will go from zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds and has a maximum speed of 155 miles per hour. The Autobiography Black also features a special Second Generation Terrain Response System. This system monitors the ground and automatically adjusts the vehicle’s settings based on the terrain and weather conditions while driving.

4. 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo-S: $146,000 Porsche released the Cayenne in 2002. It was highly successful because it was viewed as the first cross between a sports car and a mid-size SUV. At the top of the Cayenne line is the Turbo-S. Cayennes start at about $60,000 for a base model, whereas a 2014 Turbo-S sells for $146,000. It comes with a 4.8 liter Porsche twin-turbo V-8 engine capable of pushing 550 horsepower. Most vehicles with 550 horsepower are known to handle poorly. Not this SUV. Porsche made sure to get the vehicle’s weight perfectly balanced from the front to the back and then added their adjustable suspension and informative steering technologies. Despite being the top-of-the-line Cayenne, customers have shown a preference to the Turbo and the GTS. The GTS offers a lot of power, but the engine’s roar is not muffled by a turbocharger. The Cayenne Turbo is considerably cheaper than the Turbo-S and it only has fifty less horses under the hood.[s][/s]

5. 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG: $135,150 The G63 AMG is the mid-sized model of Mercedes-Benz’s G Series. It’s unusual for a company’s mid-sized SUV to be more expensive than the full-sized model, but with the G63 AMG’s reputation and popularity it’s priced at $135,150. Like the full-sized model, this SUV is also fitted with an AMG 5.5 liter bi-turbo engine. So by now you are probably wondering what is so significant about the AMG engine other than its power. An AMG engine is a hand built engine by one of the fifty Mercedes-Benz Master Engine Builders. These are fifty of the most highly trained automotive experts in the world and they are personally hand crafting the engine being fitted into these cars. After one of the Master Engine Builders completes the engine, it is fitted with a plaque with the builder’s name engraved upon it.

6. 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG: $118,160 The G Series is the highest end of SUVs produced by the German automakers Mercedes-Benz. The GL is the full-sized model of the family. Its three rows of seats allow for up to seven very comfortable passengers. However, make no mistake; this thing is fast. Despite weighing three tons, the GL63 AMG can go from zero to sixty miles per hour in just 4.8 seconds. The AMG twin-turbo 5.5 liter V-8 engine produces 550 horsepower. This amazing combination of power and size allows for the vehicle to tow up to 7,500 pounds. There is a lot going for this SUV and the people at Mercedes-Benz know it; that is why they priced it at $118,160.

7. 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV HPE 550: $105,025 The Cadillac Escalade ESV is the king of the luxury SUV market. Escalades are famous for their size, style and comfort. A normal ESV costs about $89,075. However, the 2015 makes will have a very special upgrade package available for an extra $15,950. For a total of $105,025, you can special order a Cadillac Escalade ESV with a customized supercharged engine by the Hennessy Performance Engineering Company. The Hennessy package includes a belt driven supercharger, air to water intercool system, and an entirely recalibrated engine management system. These high performance parts are fitted to Hennessy’s 6.2 liter V-8 engine capable of producing 557 horsepower. It looks like North American roads are about to have a new beast unleashed upon them.

8. 2014 BMW X6-M: $93,900 The 2014 BMW X6-M may very well be the largest race car ever produced. BMW considered the X6-M to be a luxury crossover between a sedan and an SUV. This means it is bigger than any full-sized sedan and smaller than any mid-sized SUV. Even with BMW’s highly coveted xDrive all-wheel-drive system, driving the vehicle still feels like being in an oversized drag car. The engine is a 4.4 liter V-8 which gives the X6-M 555 horsepower. One of these speedy SUVs costs $93,900. It is suggested you test drive one of these before just handing over the cash. This vehicle is so fast, so powerful, and so compact, it is considered impractical for the normal SUV user.

9. 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography: $92,400 Land Rover are the originators behind the sport utility vehicle. The subsidiary of the European automaker Jaguar has been making SUVs since before SUVs were popular. The Range Rover Sport is the full-sized model offered by the company. The Autobiography series is a limited edition upgrade offered by Land Rover for the 2014 year. The Sport Supercharger Autobiography includes a 5.0 liter supercharge V-8 engine capable of producing 510 horsepower. Due to their amped up powerplant and very limited production numbers, the Sport Supercharged Autobiography costs $92,400.

Sport utility vehicles became all the rage in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Consumers loved their versatility. SUVs are the perfect marriage of a truck and a van. Like a truck, an SUV is powerful enough to tow heavier objects such as travel trailers and boats. However, they also have the added seating capacity only offered in a full-sized truck or mini-van. They were considered perfect for pretty much anything one required them to do. Then in the mid 2000s their popularity dropped. The oil crisis forced people to trade in their gas-guzzling SUVs in for smaller, more fuel efficient automobiles. These versatile everyday vehicles, once coveted by construction workers and soccer moms alike, now collected dust on dealership parking lots. No matter how much their prices fell, SUVs just would not sell. Now finally after a slow economic recovery, the SUV has once again become popular. Of course, that is just the story for the everyman’s SUVs. The high-end luxury models have always sold. These typically cost twice as much as a normal SUV. However, the people who have the money to buy one of these have the money to fill up their gas tanks. The high-end luxury SUV market is growing. More and more people are becoming willing to buy one of these as opposed to an expensive luxury sedan. This trend is definitely catching the attention of some big name automakers. By 2017 it is expected that Bentley, Maserati, and Lamborghini will all release their own SUV models in the near future. It is expected the price tags on all of these will be around the $200,000 mark. With that in mind, here are the most expensive SUVs out on the market today. 10. 2014 Lexus LX 570: $83,540 The LX has been produced by Lexus since 1996. “LX” stands for “luxury crossover,” which is a bit misleading considering this is actually the company’s full-size model. The LX 570 features a 5.7 liter V-8 engine and a six speed transmission. It is capable of pushing out 383 total horsepower. The 2014 model has an added feature known as Crawl Control. When the Crawl Control is activated, anti-lock brakes kick in and the car becomes controlled by the 570′s internal computer. When the terrain becomes too intense, the driver does not need to worry at all, they just need to be able to steer the car.

Nigeria has confirmed an additional case of the Ebola virus disease, bringing the total confirmed cases to 11. Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu told a press briefing in Abuja that the death toll has also risen to 3. The death include the Liberian who imported the disease a, Nigerian nurse and protocol officer working with Ecowas who is also a Nigerian. Professor Onyebuchi also said all those positive with the EVD had primary contact with the Liberian man and the disease is still limited to Lagos state only. He also said the number of those on surveillance is now 175, down from 177 at the beginning of the week, adding that all those on surveillance had only secondary contact. Among those on surveillance are six people in Enugu state, who had contact with one of the nurses. It has been 26 days since EVD was reported in Nigeria, and some of those on surveillance who did not develop symptoms or who tested negative to the virus have been left off the radar. ZMapp Meanwhile, the National Health Research Ethics Committee in Nigeria has approved the use of ZMapp for the treatment of patients infected with the virus. The approval was contained in a statement issued by Prof. Clement Adebamowo, chairman of the committee yesterday in Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has reported. The decision by the committee is coming on the heels of Tuesday’s approval by WHO on the use of ZMapp for treatment of Ebola patients. “It is ethical to use these treatments in the current situation without first submitting an application to national, state or institutional health research ethics committee for prior review and approval. “In addition, the committee waives the current requirement that international shipment of any biological samples out of Nigeria should be preceded by the establishment of a Materials Transfer Agreement. “This waiver is to promote rapid international response to this global emergency,” the statement said. In the statement, the Nigerian National Code for Health Research Ethics emphasised that all innovative and non-validated treatments should be carefully and adequately documented. According to the statement, the documentation could form the basis for clinical trials of the efficacy and side effects of the treatment, according to established scientific principles. The ethics committee enjoined all agencies, development partners and research scientists to follow the guidelines for the rapid resolution of the current emergency, the statement said. “The guidelines will contribute to preparedness in case of future occurrences and contribution to scientific knowledge. “It must be noted that all Phase 0 and Phase 1 Clinical Trials that may subsequently be designed for treatment of this infection can be approved only by the National Health Research Ethics Committee,” it said. In a related development, the Dangote Foundation has given 150 million Naira to fund the emergency operation system launched by the Nigerian government. http://silverbirdtv.com/news/ebola-nigeria-confirms-additional-case

10. KOREDE BELLO Baby-faced Korede Bello can be described as a long-time newcomer to the industry. He gained some popularity for his patriotic number, I Love My Country which took him on various performing rounds in and around Nigeria. Korede is especially skilled in the vocal and stringing art (he plays the acoustic guitar). Motherluck smiled on him when he met music maestro and production genius, Don Jazzy who in turn recognized his starboy prospects and activated his Mavin status. Since his new era fame, Korede first released African Princess to the glee of his female fans and then featured on the all too popular Dorobucci (not forgetting his “mega superstar” verse becoming fans’ favourite) as well as Adaobi with mates Reekado Banks and Di’Ja. We certainly got our eyes on this one and even his Twitter profile can attest to that.

9. AYO JAY Boy wonder, Ayo Jay is one lucky chap to be blessed with a face and a voice like his ‘cos he sure got our attention since he surfaced in the music industry. Ayo Jay joins his other (senior) colleagues who returned from an educational stint abroad to frontline a music career after grueling conviction. His most recent release Available didn’t take long before it found it’s way to the hearts of many young music fanatics, and because he’s had to juggle schooling alongside a budding music career (to which he gave school credence), he may not have an exhaustive roll call of singles and music features but he’s been working tirelessly, doing take after take in the studio just to give the fans what they deserve. He’s also under Asa Asika’s music management company.A

8. L.A.X L.A.X kick started his professional career in 2011 when he got signed to M2 Records far away in the UK while juggling it with academics at the same time. He had done songs like Pamurege and Ja Ye featuring Ice Prince whose glories failed to live up to expectation but by 2013, he became Wizkid’s first signee to Starboy Entertainment and Caro - his debut feature under the label alongside Wizkid, shot him into beaming limelight. The upbeat track gathered generous buzz and stayed on music/video charts for a long while. The frenzy lingered up till when he released Ginger - another sure club banger tailored after Caro’s success and featuring Wizkid. While it seems L.A.X is comfortable with taking all the time in the world to push his career (and with a platform like Starboy), he intends to keep releasing singles with the sole aim of easing himself gradually into the music world. Most definitely, he’ll be a force to reckon with both locally and internationally especially with his unique style of music. Afterall, it is said that slow and steady wins the race.a

7. BOJ BOJ first attained fame from the popular music group DRBLasGidi. Having connected with his musical prospects, he decided to flag off a solo music career. BOJ possesses a [articular uniqueness to his vocal and music styling. His husky tone gives him a different edge over colleagues in the field who combat with tenors of varying ranges. BOJ’s breaking point would be the release of his mixtape BOTM – BOJ On The Microphone where he showed a variety of creative sounds with features from Ajebutter22, Lola Rae, Lynxxx, Efya and more. He’s also worked on collaborations with Dammy Krane, Ozone, ODH and Naeto C as well as some cameo features in music videos. He is currently signed to Asa Asika’s music management company.

6. SHAYDEE Shaydee boi is one very vocally talented artiste. His nightingale-ish vocals can literally strike melodious chords deep down in your heart. His stint with Empire Mates Entertainment though brief, was very well enjoyed. He blessed us with gyration songs from the label’s compilation album such that when the gist about severing ties with the label company filtered in, we soliloquized about what would become of his career. But as expected, Shaydee bounced back from the topsy-turvy affair. He resurfaced with Won Gbo Mi featuring Starboy Wizkid and then gave an early Valentine gift Ti E Nikan. The most talked about of his vocal features will be Seyi Shay’s celebrated track Murda where he lent his vocals alongside Patoranking. Shaydee is also exceptionally skilled in the song-writing art, having penned down the lyrics to chart-topping songs by many a-list acts. Overall, this guy so good… he bad like that!
