Making A Real Difference.
PACT – Word For The Week
A pact is defined as an agreement or covenant between two or more people. When some of the people we consider as leading erudite in Nigeria decided to align themselves politically, they redefined PACT to mean Presidential Aspirants Coming Together.
Loyalty – Word For The Week
Followership, friendship, fandom and loyalty have evolved over the years, and in the information and social media age, it has taken an unprecedented dimension.
Divide And Rule – Word For The Week
Divide and Rule is defined as the policy of maintaining control over one's subordinates or opponents by encouraging dissent between them, thereby preventing them from uniting in opposition.
Insolence – Word For The Week
Insolence is defined as being insulting in manners or words. It is being rude, cheeky, impudent, arrogant, bold, cocky and disrespectful. Insolence to me has become the go-to word to describe Nigeria's present class of politicians.
Sow – Word For The Week
The same way a farmer is responsible for the seeds sown in his farm, you are also responsible for what seed you'll sow in life. It is time we stop sowing seeds of tares, tears and torment, rather we should sow seeds of Love, Laughter and Life. What seed did you sow today?
Empathy – Word For The Week
It is quite disturbing to realise that humanity is hastily heeding in a direction where empathy is becoming quite a scarce commodity.
Napoleon Complex – Word For The Week
As for anyone just realizing they might have Napoleon Complex, never forget, "It is not about the size of the dog in the fight, it is about the fight in the dog".
Resolution – Word For The Week
It is just the second week of the year and lots of people have already broken their New Year Resolution, so much that they are either battling to keep up with it or dumping it altogether.
Meticulous – Word For The Week
The word meticulous means to be characterized by very precise, conscientious attention to details. It is synonymous with being careful, precise, painstaking, rigorous and scrupulous. There is an art (or science) to executing any action. It involves a process that […]
WORD FOR THE WEEK – STANDARD
I looked up the word standard in my dictionary and saw its many definitions. I will now regale you with some, before making a couple of notes. Standard is defined as falling within an accepted range of size, amount, power, […]
WORD FOR THE WEEK – ACHILLES HEEL
Achilles Heel is defined as a vulnerability in an otherwise strong situation. It means a soft spot, weakness, kryptonite.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – DEXTERITY
Dexterity is defined as the skill in performing tasks, especially with the hand. It is ironically funny, but disturbing when you meet someone who has been on one job for over ten years and in that period doesn’t do anything differently from when he started.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – ACTION
Stand by! Tape rolling! Action! Those are the three phrases you hear on almost every movie set before the filming of a scene takes place. But what happens before we get to the filming stage?
WORD FOR THE WEEK – HABIT
Habit is defined as an action done on a regular basis. It can also be described as an action performed repeatedly and automatically, usually without awareness.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – INERTIA
Inertia is defined as a lack of activity, and is synonymous with the act of indolence. It is a tendency to do nothing, or to remain unchanged. There is a saying that “comfort is the enemy of success”. I heard […]
WORD FOR THE WEEK – BIAS
Bias is defined as an inclination towards something; it is synonymous with predisposition, partiality, prejudice, preference, and predilection.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – PRAGMATISM
Pragmatism is defined as the pursuit of practicality over aesthetic qualities. It is a concentration on facts rather than ideals or emotions.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – PESSIMISM
Pessimism is defined as a belief that bad things will always happen or things will only get worse. A person who has such a view on life is referred to as a pessimist. This is a direct contrast to optimism.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – OPTIMIST
An optimist is someone who expects positive outcome. He is a person that believes things will always turn out in his favor, she is someone that believes the world is set up to always yield favorable results in issues related to her.
WORD FOR THE WEEK – HUMANE
The word humane is defined as having or showing concern for the pain or suffering of another; compassionate. I would gladly assert that it is an essential component of the human psychology. As human beings, when we see someone display in a callous manner, bereft of emotion […]Share with friends:

5 days ago by mardlifetv Of Pen And Sword - Idioms & Proverbs The pen is mightier than the sword. That is probably one of the first proverbs I learned as a child. I can't remember how many times I had to write about it as an essay, or argue it as a debate, but I know it is a concept that has stuck with me and many people like me. That saying also stays with you if you were a member of the Press Club in secondary school, but you don't know its full implication until life hits you. Ken Saro Wiwa, Dele Giwa,
6 days ago by mardlifetv Friendship is a sacred thing to me and it's not for hire. It is time I begin to scrutinize my friends, note who is seeing our relationship as a selfish business engagement, who is using me for selfish interest, who is all about adding toxicity into my life, and get rid of them. My friendship has never been for hire, that's why I have always built relationship not caring about immediate gains nor considering what I could pilfer off you. I always want my friends to be alright, put their interest at heart and try to check up on them
4 days ago by mardlifetv The Way Home A lot of us are familiar with the story of the prodigal son, but a part of his life we are not very much aware of is his journey on the way home. We are not given some specifics in this story, but we can make some educated guess. A famine period worsens overtime, it doesn't start out with its worst period. Long story short, Mr Big Baller could have spent as much as five years, if not up to ten years or more in the "far country". Do you know what happens in five to ten
2 days ago by mardlifetv Dear Pastors/Teachers/Preachers/Ministers/ Apostles/Evangelists/Etc When you preach the correct biblical principle of sowing and reaping please balance it with the biblical principle of hard work, diligence and creativity (study Joseph) or else you will be raising a bunch of lazy Christians always expecting manna from heaven. When you preach the correct biblical principle of perfect and divine health please balance it with the correct biblical principle of healthy living, or else you will be raising a bunch of gluttonous Christians that will be casting the spirit of cholesterol out of obviously harmful meals. When you preach the principle of transfer of
2 days ago by mardlifetv The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord . There were they in great fear: for God
4 hours ago by mardlifetv #Continued After the emergence of Fela Durotoye as Presidential candidate, I expected the naming of a Vice Presidential candidate, while the remaining aspirants then announce that they’ll be running for different State Governorship and Senatorial positions. This will help build a better base on which the team can launch a robust campaign into the general elections. A fantasy Nigeria in which Fela Durotoye emerges as President and everyone on the PACT wins their respective contests will see President Fela have Governors in different state that will always support his interest. The pact will also have Senators who will push bills
5 days ago by mardlifetv Love your neighbor as your self is a biblical injunction given by Christ Jesus himself. It is one of two new summary laws, with the other being that you should love the Lord God and worship no other God but him. A key component of loving your neighbor as yourself which a lot of people keep missing is the second aspect, "as yourself". First things first, you can never love someone more than they love themselves. Why? It is a waste. Someone who doesn't love himself will be incapable of accepting love from others. Secondly, you can never love others
4 hours ago by mardlifetv #Continuing How could one of eighteen people have successfully rigged an election that involved only eighteen of them? Did someone share dollars or did someone vote twice? What dissatisfied the “big boys” that made them have to opt out at the last minute or after their election had held? Did every one of them believe only them were deserving of being Nigeria’s next president? Leading up to the PACT “Grand Finale”, I had expected not only the presidential candidate to emerge, but also the Vice President candidate to also be unveiled. More importantly, I expected these smart minds to have
4 hours ago by mardlifetv  A pact is defined as an agreement or covenant between two or more people. When some of the people we consider as leading erudite in Nigeria decided to align themselves politically, they redefined PACT to mean Presidential Aspirants Coming Together. Their move was met with euphoria on social media, and the youths believed that this pact will take our nation from the brink of oblivion into Eldorado. How wrong we turned out to be. Ego has been a stumbling block in the way of the progress of individuals, this time around, it was the stumbling block in the progress of
