What business of mine is it So long they don’t take the yam From my savouring mouth? They came one night Booted the whole house awake And dragged Danladi out, Then off to a lengthy absence. What business of mine is it So long they don’t take the yam From my savouring mouth? Chinwe went to work one day Only to find her job was gone: No query, no warning, no
1 week ago by mardlifetv PSA: Nigerian Trekkers Union Fellow countrymen, we at the National Trekkers Union have decided to bring some things to public knowledge, so you all can be aware of why we take our next line of action. Immediately after the last General Election, lots of our trekkers started trekking in different directions as a way of celebrating the victory of General Muhammad Buhari. Interestingly, no trekkers were invited to the Inauguration of the President, neither were we given any appointive position in the administration. It's three years into the "new" administration and still, a lot is yet to change. The changes
1 week ago by mardlifetv Here is a cover letter written by Robert Pirosh, with the intention of becoming a screenwriter. He sent a copy of this to all directors, producers and studio executives he could think of in Hollywood in 1934. He would go on to win an academy award in 1949. Dear Sir: I like words. I like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. I like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde. I like suave “V” words, such as Svengali, svelte, bravura, verve. I like

If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. - Howard Aiken Do the right things instead of trying to do everything right. - Peter Drucker Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. - Albert Einstein It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation, which give happiness. - Thomas Jefferson When work is a pleasure, life is a joy!

5 days ago by mardlifetv After switching primary schools, I didn't have close friends like Junior and MB anymore. My second primary made me change a lot. I became more of an introvert, more self-conscious and less dependent on others. I hardly forged any friendship that lasted after primary school, nor do I miss most of my classmates. I registered for secondary school later than most of my peers. I think that is where my late coming attitude started from. Though I am still working to change that. First day of junior secondary school, which was about day thirty to fifty for most other students,my
5 days ago by mardlifetv I have been an admirer of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith for a while now. Looking at their family, it seem like the perfect blend of husband and wife material, resulting in arguably one of the most beautiful family in Hollywood. Nigeria has had a massive fascination with this term, as well as husband material. As a matter of fact, a perfectly acceptable explanation for ending a dating relationship or engagement is “she is not wife material”. Mothers are pressuring their marriage eligible daughters to display more of wife material-ish (or ism, whichever is right). Meanwhile, I have always wondered,

1 week ago by mardlifetv Magnanimous In Victory, Graceful In Defeat Nigerians have a collection of some of the innately proudest tribes on the face of the earth, which makes it difficult for them to handle victory or defeat healthily. Be magnanimous in victory, and graceful in defeat is one of the most underrated sayings in the history of mankind. This is despite the fact that man has been a race that has nonstop been at war with itself. Every civilization, tribe and nation knows that it will win some wars and lose some. They have experienced both victories and defeats. Yet, the way we
1 week ago by mardlifetv I don't think of myself as single. I'm romantically challenged. - Stephanie Piro The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished. If we had our way, more of us would choose the front of the bus, the back of the church and the center of attention. The number of people watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action. You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd.

1 week ago by mardlifetv I proposed to you with a bouquet of flowers, just to be different. You said no. Until I got the biggest rock on the shelf. Did I complain? A small wedding, with just the closest of family and friends was all I asked for. Did you agree? We'll shut down the street, kill two cows, after I paid through my nose for your bride price. Are we feeding a village? The finest gown, the chicest shoes, the glamest bag, what else could a bride ask for? Flower girl, bridal train, squeezing into the limo. After all, you only get married
1 week ago by mardlifetv A norm is defined as something that is regarded as typical or normal. It is also a rule that is enforced by members of a society. By this definition, I will propound that there is personal and then societal norms. Personal norm being things that me and you as separate individuals have decided or developed to be our individual way of doing things. Societal norm will be everything that the collective society have rightly or wrongly accepted to be normal. Some have been widely accepted and backed by the constitution on different levels, while others are accepted on different social
