It’s not like I didn’t want to change; I even prayed for God to help me make better money decisions, but it was like immediately I saw money, I wouldn’t have peace until I spent it all.” [Continue reading her #Nairalife here](=.N1JqirqPT-bqtx9qX7y-bFeBYw_GaMeq8E59zKX4HUU) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> One Story to Read Today We hilariously recapped “Breath of Life” In case you haven’t seen the movie, most of what you need to know is that it’s a Nollywood period drama featuring discount Aquaman, plenty fried eggs with no seasoning, and one insane wig.
