This Means More – YNWA

Hopefully we get to see more of the Klopp Hug, less of broken spectacles, more goals from the terrific front three, less of injuries, more great Anfield European nights, less crowd disturbances, more youngsters coming through and performing excellently, less of one season wonders.

How To End An EPL Unbeaten Run – YNWA

There is a great probability that the EPL will never witness another team end a season unbeaten. It seems that much envied status will forever be exclusive to the Invincible Gunners of 2003/2004.

TUESDAY TRENDS – NO MONEY FOR SPORT

Over the last couple of weeks, reports emanating in the press reports that different teams or individuals are unable to represent Nigeria in different qualifiers for competitions. And in some worse cases, they cannot represent us in the competition proper due to lack of funds.

5 days 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
5 days ago by mardlifetv Jombo – Kiss Daniel (Song Of The Day) Jombo by Kiss Daniel is probably a song that should never go with Valentine’s day, but then I am not really in a Valentine mode today. Kiss daniel does a great job of storytelling. His tunes are quite melodious and the lyrics are simple enough for you to remember. They also easily get stuck in your head. As you wrap up valentines day, do be careful and make sure you do not have the same fate as Kiss Daniel did in this song. Remember if you start seeing any sign that her
1 day 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
7 hours 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 week ago by mardlifetv Foresight is defined as the ability to foresee or prepare wisely for the future. It is being able to extrapolate the future based on the present, while factoring in expected variables. It is why Joseph after interpreting Pharaoh’s dream also gave him a recommendation on how to store grains in the seven years of plenty, to take care of the seven years of famine. Foresight is why Moses refused to be recognized as Pharaoh’s grandson, choosing rather to be associated with the descendants of Jacob. Foresight is a gift from God to every man. It is a character of God
5 days 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
1 week ago by mardlifetv Another First Day (The Women I Love) As I saw Tinu step into the class, I cannot describe the feeling that came over me. It was like a jar of butterflies was opened up in my tummy. I was both cold and hot at the same time, I wanted to rush to the toilet but also felt hungry, my mouth was dry and my tongue was tied. In slow motion, she walked to our chair to join me. In the almost five minutes (or ten seconds) that it took for her to join me, I was rooted to where I
1 week ago by mardlifetv There is something about Lagos houses and “Not For Sale”. It just goes hand in hand. I wish the same can be said about the forthcoming General Election in Nigeria. Nigerian politicians have perfected the art of vote buying. They not only offer you money on election day, they go as far as sharing loaves of bread, exercise books, a shirt or two and other unbelievably silly items. There is even a Senator of the Federal Republic who goes around throwing satchets of instant noodles. The effrontery! Really??? Nodles for votes??????? I don’t even know what to say. It is
7 hours 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
2 days 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
1 week ago by mardlifetv Working Hard But Hardly Working Twenty four hours will make one day, but not all hard work will work out. What are you doing? Are you working hard or hardly working? Is your strength being used optimally? Is wisdom profitably directing you? The truth is hard work doesn’t always guarantee success, there are a lot of variables that are not within your control. As the Bible puts it, “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of
8 hours 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
