Making A Real Difference.
Fellow Countrymen, it has come to our attention that the political class of Nigeria have decided to give our comedians and other entertainers a run for their money. We have gone from the Great Awo, Tafa Balewa and Zik of Africa to Dino and Baba Shina Rambo.
Our legislature are showing to us that they will perform better on Nigeria’s Got Talent than in the hallowed chambers of our National Assembly. We watch our Prof V.P outperforming any stand-up comedian at most events and who can forget the beauty that is Mama Peace?
If Muhammed will not come to the mountain, then the mountain will have to come to Muhammed. The time has come for us to show how government should and should not be done.
Fellow Countrymen, my name is Joe, you can call me Jay or J-Money, and I will be your president. Someday.
Why president? Why not? Can I do any worse than those who have gone before me? Can I disappoint you any more than those who have already disappointed you? What could go wrong? What more is there to lose?
I cannot promise to fix all of Nigeria’s problems, but I can promise not to create any more problems. I cannot promise that my presidency will make your personal life any better, but I can assure you that I will listen more to you. How will I do this? I will follow you on Twitter and Instagram, I will accept your friend request on Facebook, and I will always respond to your DMs.
All of these years, we as Nigerians have complained of how a few have been eating up our common wealth, I assure you, your share of the national cake will come to you. Directly. Literally. Every Nigerian will get a one day and night invite to Aso Rock. You come over, enjoy out of whatever meal we prepared from the big budget for feeding at Aso Rock, and most importantly, when leaving in the morning, you get a slice of a cake to take home with you. The cake will come in the form of a Nigerian Map and will be coloured Green and White. What more could count as National Cake?
I do not yet know when I will be running for office, but I can assure you that eventually, I will be running for the Presidency. Share this with your friends, start to galvanise even your enemies, you may not like them that much, but you do have the interest of Nigeria as a common interest.
Fixing Nigeria starts from both the bottom, and the top. We are the leaders of tomorrow, but there can only be one president at a time. When I decide to become the president, I hope you will have done you bit by ensuring this manifesto gets to everyone, and no one contests against me.
Nigeria, Good People, Great Nation.

2 weeks ago by mardlifetv Frenemies - 2Baba × Waje (SONG Of The Day) Frenemies. We've all got them. Wish we didn't. Hope we don't. Pray to loose them, but we've got them still. Frenemies. They occupy that interlocking sector of friendship and enmity. Not accidentally, rather surreptitiously. They come around, pretending to be friends, trying to extract everything they can from you. They smile with you, laugh with you, hoping they'll eventually get to laugh at you. Judas to Jesus. Brutus to Caesar. Delilah to Samson. The annals of history is filled with stories of Frenemies. As much as we'll like to watch our

7 days ago by mardlifetv Gaslighting (Word For The Week) Gaslighting means to manipulate someone psychologically, making them question their own sanity, particularly by leading them to doubt their own experiences or perceptions of reality. Gaslight is a word I read on one of my recent reads, but it is something I have witnessed being done repeatedly. It is easy to assume we are all normal, but it is tricky recognizing the psychopaths amidst us. You have a friend or acquaintance. You are used to seeing them being "happy go lucky". You hardly meet them without a smile on their face. Their confidence is noticeable
2 weeks ago by mardlifetv To The One That Almost Was (Sincerely Yours) Love, they say is something you can't control, nor stop. Maybe I am the exception to that. I don't know when I started loving you, but I do know that I just could not stop loving you. But that was until I stopped. I miss you. I miss us. I miss our friendship. But I hate our friendship. Our friendship blinded me to the love I had for you. I believed it was normal. Whenever it seem to be getting intense, I brought it under control. We were both single, we were
2 weeks ago by mardlifetv ...While Rome Burned (Rhetorics) There is a saying that accompanies a story I read as a kid. "While Rome burned, Nero fiddled". Is that the best way to describe Nigeria and her leaders? From Boko Haram militants choosing where and when to attack without a bother about Governmental response, to armed herdsmen choosing the choicest farmland for their grazing needs knowing there will be no retributory nor punitive action, to armed bandits ceding a portion of the Kaduna Abuja highway to themselves, knowing the government of the day is not interested in as little as a show of force. Where
2 weeks ago by mardlifetv Asa is the gift that keeps giving. She is one artist that can tackle serious issues in fun ways, keeping you hooked on every element of the song while ensuring you are fully entertained. Good Thing is a classic example of this. On Good Thing, the song in itself talks about refusing to be treated sub-humanly because of your flaws and insecurities. It encourages you to take charge of your life and demand the respect you deserve. Anyone who will constantly mention to you that they could do better than you, be with someone better than you or they are
2 weeks ago by mardlifetv The Root Of Ruth (The Women I Love) This is the story of me and Ruth. Not Ruth Abokoku, but Ruth the class captain. I can't overstate this, MB is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, Ruth comes a close second. If MB is Dark and Lovely, then Ruth is Dark and Shining. Immediately the teaching assistant stepped out of the class, Ruth held my hand. Looking around, she dragged me to her seat and said "it seems you are the last student to register. I thought registration have even closed. There is no more vacant seat, so
2 weeks ago by mardlifetv Starting Over - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis × Ben Birdwell (Song Of The Day) Addiction is a battle a lot of people are fighting. Getting clean is celebrated by many. Relapsing is often a setback that breaks many. Starting over. That is one step that many are unable to take. Looking around, drug addiction is a prevalent problem in my society. Honestly, it has never been this bad. What's worse? It seems no one has an idea when this phase of drug misuse, dependence and abuse creeped up on us. I've always known people who did all kinds of drugs,

2 weeks ago by mardlifetv Stock Taking means to go through ones wares, finding out what you have surplus of, enough of and what is lacking. Stock taking is a practice adopted by traders to ensure they are never caught unaware by a demand for any item. Producers of goods also do the same for their raw materials. As stock taking will help them but new resources before they are totally finished and halt production. As we get into the 'ember months, which marks the beginning of the end of the year, it is time for you to begin stock taking of your life. Take
