INFLUENCER DIGEST: The Man Milez - @McMilez --- A phenomenon of sheer wonder has emerged from the treasure trove of opportunities that is the internet: self-branding. While some people may think it's difficult enough to merely get people to like your authentic self nowadays, paradoxically enough, it is now easier than ever to show the world who you are and what matters to you, by creating your own online brand.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't ever felt the urge to share a little about their lifestyle, travels, hobbies and tons of other things.

David Obisesan popularly known as Milez @mcmilez is an entrepreneur, writer, social media consultant, digital marketing expert & multimedia manager.

Milez help businesses build their brand, attract target customers & develop an integrated social media strategy for increased revenue.

Milez has previous experience in social media consulting, social media management and digital marketing strategy and has also worked as a digital & multimedia manager for notable brands; where he managed their social media platforms, website updates and led digital marketing campaigns to improve the brand image.

Milez has a B.SC in Geography and Regional Planning from the University of Benin, Benin City, he has also taken professional training as a social media consultant.

While speaking with him he said

My passion for social media/digital marketing started 5 years ago while at the University of Benin. I noticed the untapped market and the need for businesses to leverage social media as a tool for business growth and profitability. After this discovery, I have been using it for business ever since.

As a humanitarian, I am committed to building a better lifestyle for children and reaching out to the less privileged (young & old). I spend my extra time empowering youths and supporting good causes for nation-building.

I’d like to report a bug. Who do I contact?

What about Trust and Security?

How much does it cost to use BITSSA?

How long until my deposit is processed?

How do I add money to my BITSSA account

How long until withdrawal is processed?

How Do I Withdraw money from BITSSA account?

How Does BITSSA Work?

Alexandrason:



BITSSA is a crypto currency exchange for the emerging world. Almost exclusively focused on giving the over two thirds of the world's population who reside in exotic currency markets an opportunity to buy, sell, and hold the world's most liquid crypto currencies. BITSSA is registered and based in the United Kingdom with offices in London, and with oversight from the Isle of Man, BITSSA brings to bear world class standards of product innovation, compliance, and security for assets stored on its platform.

I hope that helps...

Thank you for that.

But how is it different from BITCOIN?

I need more insight on this...

I have asked a similar question here without getting a convincing answer.

The fact is that the present political system is not working and I am convinced that it will not work. It is so skewed and filled with loopholes that it becomes impossible to have an inclusive political system. We keep running round the circle, looking for who to blame while the system we run breeds waste, corruption, nepotism and inefficiency. There has been ethnic and religious division even before independence among the Nigerian people. Put an angel in the presidency for example and he turns a demon in the eyes of the people or a section of the country in a short period. Without an inclusive political system, Nigeria will never have an inclusive economic system.

Again, another fact, we need to change it. How? I have asked if we can do that in a non-violent way. This will involve removing politicians by election and our legislature carrying out reforms in the constitution. The presidency unlike what we have currently must be willing to conduct a referendum if need be. This will take years, but I am sure key issues will still not be addressed. Look at PIB, Sharia in our constitution, ecclesiastical bill, grazing reserves, state of origin, to mention but a few.

The system needs a total overhaul. The people need to sit down and decide how they want to live as one country, that's if they need to. They need to decide how they will govern themselves. They need to have a constitution by the people and for the people, not what the military handed to us as the 1999 constitution.

KingRex1:
Seems echovc partners are the best venture capitalists and angel investors

I think so too...

You told me I was pretty
You told me I couldn't make you stay
You implied I was so different to you
You said others have tried

I thought I could make a difference
I thought showing you true love could help
I thought you were human
I thought you could be redeemed
I didn;t know you were the devil himself
You took me as a pawn and really played the game of chess

Proud and bashful you are
Lacking in the looks department
You try to hide your insecurities under the veil of pride
"Bleep Boy" you tag yourself
You are nothing but a lost fawn
Having mummy issues, are you?

But no matter the games you play
No matter the amount of money you possess
No matter what you believe you are
No matter how you parade and indulge yourself You would never amount to anything but scam under my feet

1. The prayer of faith otherwise known as the prayer of petition. This prayer is made to change things. It’s always based on Gods revealed words. Never contains an if.

2. The prayer of Consecration. A prayer of dedication and concentration to Gods use. This kind of prayer you pray it when u choose to be that vessel of honour.it is a kind of prayer that should be made daily.2Timothy2:20.

3. The prayer of commitment: this kind of prayer is the heartfelt prayer. According to Philippians 4:6, you do this to cast all your cares on the lord.1Peter 5:7

4. The prayer of worship. You are not really asking for anything, you just want to worship him and just stay in his presence. Most times after such bouts of worship all problem disappear because you worship God, magnify him and reduce your problems. Luke 24:52-53, Acts13:1-4

5. The prayer of agreement. This is when two or more people agree together in the place of prayer for a certain thing in faith. Matthew 18:18-20

No 4 is for my friends....

So I know lots of people are going to crucify me for this post but I think this is a must say.

Sex is a very beautiful thing created by God for our pleasure but like every other product, it comes a manual. Mankind has evolved a lot from the days of skirts to trousers. Computers have and every other man made creation has evolved too except for Gods manual. According to Gods manual, sex is for married people.

Sex was not made for those in a causal relationship, or in a committed relationship or about to wed. It wasn’t also made to fix friendship bonds like in the friends with benefits arrangement. Sex in the manual is known as cleaving, this only happens between to individuals that have left their mother and their father and have cleaved together.

When you have sex with someone, you see them at their most vulnerable state. Sex is the ultimate form of bonding and intimacy between a man and a woman. This kind of Intimacy is not meant for people who have not yet come together in matrimony.

Sex is pleasurable, the more reason why unmarried people should look forward to sex in matrimony.

I know that in our generation sex sells. Even furniture makers use sex to sell their furniture. The only industry that is yet to key into that marketing strategy is the baby industry.

This fact has made sex a sort of oxygen. Most times, people assume that they will die if they if they don’t have sex. People talk about the fact that they haven’t had sex in months look like they were saying they haven’t had a meal in months.

Sex is not food, it’s not oxygen, it’s not water so it’s not a must-have. Sex even amongst our teenagers and young people has been increased tremendously.

I think this is mainly the fault of the older generation, because to them we are pacesetters. They just copy what they see on TV, in music videos on the internet etc.

Have you ever wondered why venereal diseases spread in very little time, have you ever thought of why it’s necessary for fluid exchange to occur during sex? That fluid exchange is almost a form of covenant. The bible likens sex to our relationship with God, that’s how sacred it is supposed to be.

It’s not meant for two men, or two women, or an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, or an unmarried lady and a married man or any other reverse category you can think of.

It’s only meant for a married man and a woman who are married. Take it or leave it.

I know this is a very controversial topic and I may be crucified or not but this is the truth.

It’s not wrong to love sex or to look forward to sex, but like every manufacturer creates a manual to go with his invention, Gods manual for sex has terms and conditions attached.

Beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder. I listened to Pastor Joseph Prince and he said that even today the Midianites are still in charge of thought patterns only now they have metamorphosed to the media. Funny right? I thought so too.

But take a moment to think about it, the media has labeled robust African women Fat and ugly.

Everyone wants to be a size one even those with huge bone frames. The famous statement black is beautiful is now obscure since everyone wants to be light skinned; even beautiful, chocolate brown, dark skinned women have now become a rare species.

(God help us).

Everyone dresses in a certain way, everyone wears makeup with concealed eyebrows, every man irrespective of age or color has joined the beard gang. It appears the media says jump and we just ask how high.

Irrespective of what this generation defines as beauty or elegance I still think that the inner beauty supersedes what everyone can see as the appearance. Many people are fair outside and charcoal black inside.

We spend hours and hours trying to make our bodies which end up as dust beautiful but forget to imbibe cultures like gentleness, kindness, love peace and you can name a whole lot.

Beauty shouldn’t be defined with only what the eyes can see. What about what you can feel?

Have you met very handsome men who have never ever told the truth since they were born?

What about very beautiful ladies who don’t even have the courtesy to pronounce simple words like “thank you”, “am sorry”, “are you ok?” They are so rude and ill behave.

I also do not mean to say that we all should concentrate on inner beauty alone. While you are nice, loving and caring take some time to take care of yourself, Love yourself, and wear those things which do justice to your frame, stature, and personality. Rihanna wears boots and silhouette gowns does not mean Monique can too.

Different strokes for different people.

No matter your body stature, skin color, height or whichever category biology has put you in, don’t forget Beauty starts from the inside than out. Be beautiful and elegant inside as well as out.

Let people feel your resonance before they see your shiny face and matte lips. Don’t get it twisted, looking good is good business but you can make others feel good too.

First of all, I want everyone to know that this is not a book review. Plus I have not joined the club of vultures picking at whatever shred of dignity this lady still has. I just want to point out a few lessons I think everyone should learn from her experience.

I also want to reprint my famous words in your mind, “say something nice to people you meet, you don’t know what they are going through”. Forget the plastic smiles and cosmetic appearances you see. People are hurting.

Here we go,

It does not matter what life throws at you, you have the final say. Your roots don’t really matter, your destination is the reference point.

Don’t believe everything you see on social media, people only tell you to what they want you to know. They were happy pictures on social media, who would have guessed that there were lots of tears underneath all the posing and fake smiles?

Stop comparing yourself with others, you don’t know half of what they’re going through.

Never let a relationship define you. Never ever give a man or a woman the power to be your mirror. I mean to say see yourself through your eyes, not through their eyes.

Even when you love, be yourself. Don’t go out of your way to make someone love you or to “keep your marriage”. Most times you end up forgetting who you actually are because you are trying to be what someone else wants you to be. Be Yourself! Anyone who genuinely loves you will be with you as you are.

Don’t record sex tapes or send nude pictures. It’s not worth it. Take a moment to think of what will happen if that tape were to fall into the wrong hands. Am sure its not something she is proud of but she did it for the supposedly right reasons. I simply maintain that no reason is reason enough.

Marriage is not a do or die affair, forget what the society is making it out to be. It is better for you to be single and happy than to be married and miserable.

Don’t Assume that marriage will make everything go away, it’s not true. Marriage actually brings out the real character. Open your eyes, see the red flags and act accordingly.

Divorce is not the end of the world. If it comes down to Divorce, please go through the divorce, give yourself time to grieve and then pick up the remaining pieces of your life and move on.

You can’t eat your cake and have it.

Get friends that will be with you through thick and thin. You need a support system.


I just really want to emphasize on getting a support system. Surround yourself with the ride or die friends not only when the going is good friends. In fact, you should be able to point out exactly what kind of friends you have. Be with people who will tell you the truth no matter how bitter it is.

Don’t be ashamed to admit that you need help. Don’t give us the fake everything is fine smile while you are hurting. If you can’t open up to your friends, get help but don’t go through tough times alone.

No one deserves to have to go through life alone, especially you.


Don’t just read her book and be sarcastic or say it serves her right. Read in between the lines.

Learn from her mistakes so you don’t end up in the same kind of web.

Cheers!

When a lot of your friends are getting married, yet you and your partner have not even talked about settling down, it could mount a lot of pressure on you. To complicate matters, friends and family are already asking, "When is it your turn?” This can be really annoying and can make you want to pressure your partner into marrying you soon. You might say, "We are both in love, marriage should be the next logical step", but before you jump into a hasty decision, here are some reasons why you shouldn't give in to the pressure to tie the knot just yet:

A marriage is more than a wedding

It is easy to feel anxious about getting married when all your friends are tying the knot and your chance to walk down the aisle is only as a bridesmaid. However, that's not an actual reason to get married. Sure, you want a day all to yourself to wear a big white dress and be the center of attention, but you have to understand that after that one day, the rest of your life with this other person begins.

Once you're done picking out flatware and first dance songs, you're going to live with this person for good. If you can't see past the party, you're not ready for the commitment.

It is expensive

Weddings are expensive, and divorces are worse. Rushing into marriage means you have ess time to save for your wedding and also the marriage. You should consider the expenses and plan before you get married.

It screams desperation

A lot of people rush into marriage because they are scared of being alone. If you are thinking of tying the knot because of that, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. You are most likely going to end up with someone who isn't good for you and treats you poorly cause you haven't spent enough time to get to know them behind closed doors without anyone else around. Don't let your desperation blind you to obvious red flags, because what you settle for is ultimately what you'll get.

If you rush into a marriage with someone, you run the risk of missing out on someone with whom you'd be a much better match. If your partner really is your soulmate, they should be willing to wait for another a year to spend the rest of your lives together. If not, cut your losses and wait for someone with patience.

Relationships take time to mature

You need time to nurture your relationship to maturity. Relationships can't be rushed to maturity. You need to work out all the kinks and be sure that it has all the potential to just get better and better as time goes on. Give yourselves the opportunity to bond in new ways over new things without being married.

Relationships and marriage are just like everything else in life - if you force them, if you rush them, it’s not going to go well.

Consider your priorities in life before deciding on marriage.

Marriage comes with a lot of responsibilities and compromises, and subjecting yourself to all these negotiations may make you wonder a few years down the life if you have missed any opportunities and not built for yourself a life you deserved and wanted.

Educate yourself, travel as much as you can, know people, make friends, develop a career, and then say “I do”. Life’s like a cycle. Complete each stage before moving onto the next. Don’t rush because you won’t be able to go back, to finish the unfinished business.

You may push your partner away

If you're pressuring your partner to get married before they are ready, they may just bolt. Not respecting your partner's wishes or boundaries means you're not mature enough to be in a relationship.

Being aggressive and rushing about spending the rest of your lives together isn't going to sweeten the pot for them. Likewise, if they're pressuring you, the same applies: Either slow down or run for the hills.

Marriage is a decision that will last for you and your partner's entire life.

Take all the time you need to really think about it and ask yourselves if you are both physically and emotionally ready to take the next step in your relationship

When the Canadian R&B singer the Weeknd pulled out of Rihanna’s European tour back in March to record more music, it just didn’t make sense in the face of contemporary pop economics as recorded music doesn’t make much money, touring does.

Starboy is the proof that he made a solid business decision. Barely a year after his breakout, Grammy-winning album “Beauty Behind the Madness,” the Weeknd returns with another full-length, “Starboy.” The album has song writing skills at its best as well as collaborations from; Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey and Future

Starboy’s electric collaboration with Daft Punk alone has already lodged some of the Weeknd’s intentions firmly in the airwaves

The lengthy, 18-track Starboy has references to drugs, sex, love, love gone sour, insecurities as well as fun.

The emotionally stunted Starboy meets icily indifferent Stargirl -Lana Del Rey and they learn to love one another, travelling on a journey from the erotic paranoia of Party Monster (“Woke up with a girl, I don’t even know her name”) to the acceptance of Daft Punk produced disco I Feel It Coming.

Starboy is every bit as sexy, soulful and full with banger after banger as 2015’s Beauty Behind the Madness.

PS; This is the album you want in the background when you are getting some good loving

The song I am less enthusiastic about is False Alarm. While songs like; True Colors, Nothing Without You, Love to lay, Starboy of course, Sidewalks ft Kendrick Lamar, Six Feet Under have my heart.

All in all, the Starboy album has landed and we’ve got it on repeat as it is everything we hoped for.
