3 months ago by mardlifetv This is a Public Service Announcement from the highly prestigious National Association Of Hundred Naira Lovers. It has come to our attention over at the NAHHL that the government and a bunch of other Nation Hating Citizens of our beloved country, Nigeria, have decided to deface our most beautiful currency note. The hundred Naira note, historically, with amount of design work put into it remains the most beautiful and aesthetic pleasing Naira note that our country has. Why the government of the day have decided to sit by and watch it continue to be abused, defaced and disrespected by all
3 months ago by mardlifetv Electoral Appeal - YMCMPP With the 2019 election season gradually, tediously and most importantly, "eventually" coming to a close, we the greatest party ever in the history of Nigeria, (though yet to be officially inaugurated) have noticed an ugly trend. As the future ruling party of Nigeria, it behoves on us to tackle this insidious pattern. As Nigerians, electoral appeals, both significant and ridiculous ones altogether have come to become an important aspect of our electoral process. We eagerly anticipate after the final vote is casted to see which party or candidate will be the first to show up at
3 months ago by mardlifetv After the last incident with Tinu (Which shall never be mentioned again), we didn’t see each other again until we finished our Junior School Leaving Examination. By the time the new school year began, one would think I would have forgotten about the incident, but no. It was seared into my brain. Throughout the long holiday, I had spent countless hours thinking and ruminating on the event. I had come up with over a thousand ways I could have steered the conversation in order to have a different outcome. Truly, if wishes were horses… I was among the last students
4 months ago by mardlifetv Fortune favors the bold. What favors the timid? Misfortune? Destruction? Penury? Lack? Or fortune also? Nigerians are generally a bold collection of people. Any assembly of people, irrespective of the number of people there, if there is or are Nigerians there, they easily make themselves known, try to dominate proceedings or at least, ensure you’ll never forget your encounter with them. But what happens when it comes to politics and policy? Nigerians generally are either not bold or can’t be bothered about it. The smartest as well as the most honest and hard-working people in Nigeria have got a phobia
3 months ago by mardlifetv A common desire among humans is comfort. Ultimately, everything we do is tied towards our comfort at the end of the day. It is common to see people prioritize their comfort over everything else. Some people actually take comfort over meeting their own basic needs. This easily results in laziness and its accompanying consequences. There is nothing wrong in seeking comfort, but then when it comes to comfortability, how much is too much? Necessity is often credited as the mother of all invention. If that is true, then what is the mother of complacency and dearth of innovation? There are
3 months ago by mardlifetv Regret is defined as an emotional pain on account of something done or experienced in the past, with a wish that it had been different; a looking back with dissatisfaction or with longing. To regret is to feel sorry about a thing that has happened, to wish that a thing had not happened, that something else had happened instead. It is to feel sorry about any thing. To regret is basically to be human. As humans, we have our good moments and the bad ones too. We do things we are extremely proud of and would want everybody to know
4 months ago by mardlifetv Oh God of creation, Direct our Noble cause, Guide our leaders right, They really need the guidance. It is like they have lost perspective on what is right or wrong. It seems they are no longer interested in carrying out their responsibility. As a matter of fact, it is like all the promises they made on the campaign trail was just dust. Heavenly father, please guide them right. There is a limit to man’s knowledge, but you are the all knowing God. You know the end right from the beginning. You know the consequence for every decision they take. You
3 months ago by mardlifetv PSA: Coalition Of Pretty Faces Without Pretty Names We the Coalition of Pretty Faces Without Pretty Names have an important Public Service Announcement and hereby demand your attention. Again and again, we hear guys while asking others out, they see their faces, ask their names and then reply "what a pretty name for a pretty face". This has been going on for long, and it is come to our attention how much of a disadvantage we are at. Someone asks for our name, we give it to them and they find it difficult to hide their shock at our response.
3 months ago by mardlifetv Messiah Complex is defined as a state of mind in which someone believes that he is responsible for saving others. In the Nigerian use of the phrase, it is when someone believes they are responsible for your progress, breakthrough or well being. You see people who have this character attempting to lord themselves over you. They try to get you to reverence them, subjugate yourself to them, pay homage to them and treat them as the number priority in your life. The most surprising part of people with a Messiah Complex is the fact that often, they actually played the

3 months ago by mardlifetv Young Fools Become Old Fools (With Love From Dad) Acting the way fools will is often permissible in your youth. People will enable this acts by excusing it away as inexperience, youthful exuberance and not knowing any better. Truly, wisdom comes with age, but at what age does one get enough wisdom to make him put aside the way of fools? Life begins at forty? But a fool at forty is a fool forever, still? Then forty is definitely not the age to start exhibiting wisdom. There are some things a child with do that every adult knows to be

I am not searching for a boyfriend, I am actually still looking for the one who will ask my hand in marriage and take me to the altar. Were you expecting me to journey to the altar alone? I was brought up on the belief that after facing my studies, getting out of school and finding myself a good job, I will just up and meet a “Tall, Dark and Handsome” young man who will think the world
