Brother-Zone (The Women I Love)
As we stood up from the bench, she opened her arms to give me a hug. "Robotically", I walked forward to hug her. Tinu gave me a side hug.

By the time we resumed school, let's just say I was no longer the "Innocent Boy" Tinu used to know. What I knew and what I wanted to know made me relate with girls a little different.
The Eyes Sees What The Heart Wants To See (With Love From Dad)
Does the eyes truly see what the heart wants to see? Is there a link between our expectations and our reality? Is the concept of mind over matter real?

4 weeks ago by mardlifetv Last week was Valentine’s Day. The sheer volume of kasala, palava, wahala and drama Nigeria and its plenty lovers witness is officially too much. The YMCMPP have come to the realization that one of the major things holding back this potentially great nation from progressing is unfaithfulness among lovers. The truth is legally, you can be polygamous in Nigeria, but then cheating on your partner is not allowed. Because of national interest, and to help focus our individual resources on beneficial endeavors, YMCMPP have decided that when we become the majority party in government, we will be creating a lovers
1 month ago by mardlifetv The fourth line in the second verse of the Nigerian National Anthem goes “Help our youths the truth to know”. In all the years I have seen people analyze and appreciate the National Anthem, I think this is one of the most underrated, undervalued and underappreciated line. Indeed, we need the God of creation to guide our leaders right, but just as importantly, we need him to help our youths to know the truth. In Nigeria, at present, the youths are the largest demography in the population. One truth we seem yet to acknowledge, understand and put to practice is
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv As a Nigerian in Nigeria, it is almost impossible not to have heard the phrase “thunder strike you”. But then it is really difficult to find someone who has been struck by said thunder. You are more likely to find such person on the screens of Nollywood than on the streets of Lagos. Meanwhile, Nigerians also believe a lot in the Laws of Karma. What goes around must come around. As nice and friendly as Nigerians are, they love their justice served as quickly and loudly as possible. Quick because they are in a hurry to do something else, loud
4 weeks 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
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv It was in the third term of JSS3 that I finally summoned the courage to ask out Tinu. I did this the week before we started our Junior WAEC. I think my subconscious had calculated that the era of free snacks was drawing to a close and the time for me to make my move without loosing any privileges was perfect. On the last Friday before our Junior School Leaving Examination was to start, everyone had just been gisting and hanging out as no teacher had come to take any class through the week. I finally got my chance to
4 weeks 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
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv I took my leave from Dan, so I can go clean up my place in preparation for Tomi’s arrival.

4 weeks ago by mardlifetv Mr Ballot Box Snatcher, Where Are You Going To? The Nigerian Presidential Election has been rescheduled for this Saturday. Mr Ballot Box Snatcher, what’s up? You have been paid to go on another snatching spree, you have been instructed on which polling station to disturb, you have picked your accomplices, please tell me, is it worth it? Mr President has given an order to members of the Security Forces to shoot all snatchers, no questions asked, tell me again, is it worth it? Twenty years of democracy, same class of politicians keep recycling themselves. Their bank accounts are smiling, their
1 month ago by mardlifetv How much is a dream worth? How much should a future be sold for? Even Martin Luther King and his dream, how much was it worth? Joseph’s dream, Pharaoh’s dream, Peter’s dream, do they go at unit cost or wholesale cost? The guy with only one dream, the lady with a thousand visions, are they worth the same thing or is it relative? My dream is to have a great family, a house which makes a great home, a first class tickets to anywhere in the world whenever I need it, a holiday or two every year, a great education
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv We the National Electoral Reform Association, having witnessed a second consecutive postponement of Nigeria’s General Election have decided to speak up. Enough is enough of this nonsense. The time has come for a total overhaul and reform of Nigeria’s Electoral Process. Firstly, why do we have two days dedicated to elections that can be held on one day? Doesn’t common sense tell all stakeholders that whichever election comes second will only be a formality as its result will mirror that of the first? Secondly, why does the nation have to be shutdown at election time? It is like the government
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv My name is Happiness, and I am on a journey to the Altar. I forgot to mention, I am single and searching. 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
4 weeks ago by mardlifetv Expectation is defined as the act or state of expecting or looking forward to an event as about to happen. It can also be described as the prospect of the future; grounds upon which something excellent is expected to occur; or prospect of anything good to come. An expectation is what you believe will be the outcome of an event or series of events. It is your goal, your postulation, your dream, your intention. Your expectation is sometimes reliant on someone else playing their part, or sometimes, you even expect things from others. This is a situation where we cannot
