This Lady Called Life, directed by Kayode Kasum, has an uncanny title, and it’s one of the first things that you think about this film. We learn the heroine’s name is Aiye, the Yoruba word for life and things aren’t so strange after all. Aiye, through this film, is broken by a man, misunderstood by a woman (her mother), and aided to self-realisation by another man.

The first time we meet Aiye, we see she’s the type who keeps her feelings bottled up. Rather than air her grievance, she leaves it unsaid, settling for imagining scenarios where she actually speaks her mind. The sequences where she does this are so well acted and shot. It also happens frequently and you are certain that, at a crucial point of the story, she will tire of the mental scenarios and actually give vent to her discontent. When it does eventually happen, it brings the story to its emotional climax.

In the opening scenes, Aiye begs a reluctant woman to babysit her son while she goes to write an important exam. If passed, this exam will aid her quest to become a high-profile chef. One wonders where the father of her child is, or why she can’t take her child to her family. The answer to that comes soon in the form of Tina Mba, who plays Aiye’s cantankerous mother.

Aiye’s mother is easily wronged and shows no restraint as she heaps verbal abuse on even her own children. Now we know why Aiye keeps her distance.

But a medical emergency forces Aiye to abandon her exam midway and trot off to a hospital. Her mother collapsed, her father told her and will need to be cared for. Aiye’s father and sister are unavailable to provide that care. So it falls to Aiye, who, after a brief protest with her father, finally decides to move to her parents’ home to help her mother.

It is not every time that you see a Nollywood film pit a mother against her daughter. This film does so and you are keen on finding out what bred the discord between mother and child. When the revelation is eventually made, it proves worthy of the wait.

Fate brings Aiye to Obinna, a photographer who falls in love first with her cooking, then with her, and doesn’t mind that she is a single mother. He uses his leverage to secure her a spot in a chef audition, leading to the film’s second most glorious moment. Aiye, initially hesitant in front of the judges, proceeds to dazzle. Her self-doubt, projected adequately by Aiyeola’s acting, peels away in this scene.

The first and most glorious scene, expectedly, involves Aiye and her mother. The acting is so well done, and the reason the two of them don’t get along, when eventually divulged, creates on Mba’s face, the realisation, in its purest form, that a mother would have on discovering that she has failed in her primary duty as a parent, which is to understand her child.

There never was much at stake between Aiye and Obinna. The story is barely about them. Even when a love interest from Obinna’s past causes a small rift between the two budding lovers, it is not a rift you expect to last for long.

This is not a film with grand twists. Its intentions are minimalist, and its plot, linearly crafted, holds no surprises. It thrives on its simplicity and how well it follows its heroine as she goes from a hapless single mother to getting her well-deserved triumph.

Have you watched this movie? If yes, how would you rate it?

In the ever-evolving landscape of smartphones, where innovations often appear incremental, Apple's iPhone 15 series has garnered considerable attention.

Comprising four distinct models—the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max—this lineup caters to diverse user preferences and requirements.

In this in-depth review, we'll dissect the nuances of these devices, offering an unbiased assessment of their features and capabilities.

Design and build quality
Apple continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation in design with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. These models boast cutting-edge titanium chassis that blend impressive strength with a featherlight build.

This shift sets a new benchmark for Pro-level smartphones, offering durability and elegance. The design features finely contoured edges and introduces the Action Button, granting users the ability to personalise their iPhone experience.

In contrast, the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus maintains a familiar design language with an aluminium enclosure and a rear panel crafted from colour-infused glass.

The colour options for the iPhone 15 span a vibrant spectrum, including pink, yellow, green, blue, and classic black, catering to a wide range of tastes. Conversely, the Pro models offer a more refined colour palette, comprising black, white, blue, and natural titanium, exuding an air of sophistication.



Display and performance
Both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models sport a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with a 2,556x1,179-pixel resolution. However, the Pro models introduce ProMotion technology, featuring a variable refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz.

This innovation translates to smoother motion when viewing videos, playing games, or browsing the web compared to the fixed 60Hz refresh rate of the standard iPhone 15. Additionally, the Pro models incorporate an always-on display, enhancing user convenience.

Under the hood, the iPhone 15 series showcases Apple's prowess in chip design. The iPhone 15 boasts the A16 Bionic chip, while the Pro models step up to the A17 Pro chip, built on a 3-nanometer architecture.

Both chipsets deliver remarkable performance, with the A17 Pro tailored for graphics-intensive tasks and gaming thanks to its six-core GPU.

Camera systems
The iPhone 15 series emphasises significant camera upgrades, ushering in a new era of mobile photography. The primary camera now boasts a 48MP sensor, which supports a high-resolution 24MP default setting and delivers exceptional image quality. Going a step further, the Pro models introduce an exclusive 5x Telephoto camera, offering unique optical capabilities.

The A17 Pro chip empowers the camera systems with seven pro lenses integrated into one device. The Pro models provide enhanced versatility with multiple focal lengths, improved night mode capabilities, and Smart HDR enhancements. The standard models also benefit from these camera upgrades, albeit with slight variations.



Connectivity and sustainability
For the first time, Apple has embraced USB-C connectivity across the entire iPhone 15 series, with the Pro models supporting faster USB 3 speeds. The inclusion of the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip enhances connectivity, making Precision Finding in Find My a seamless experience.

Furthermore, Wi-Fi 6E support delivers faster wireless speeds, and the iPhone 15 Pro lineup introduces thread-enabled capabilities, paving the way for seamless home automation integration.

Environmental sustainability takes centre stage, with Apple incorporating recycled materials, eco-friendly packaging, and a steadfast commitment to reducing plastic use. These efforts align with Apple's dedication to responsible manufacturing.

Pricing and availability
The iPhone 15 series offers pricing options to accommodate diverse budgets and preferences. The standard iPhone 15 starts at ₦790,000, striking a balance between functionality and cost. For those with budget constraints, Apple continues to offer the iPhone SE and previous-generation models, ensuring choices for various user needs.

For enthusiasts seeking advanced features, the Pro models are available at a premium. The iPhone 15 Pro starts at ₦980,000, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max begins at ₦1.18 million, offering various storage capacities.

Apple's trade-in program and carrier deals present cost-conscious buyers with opportunities to make the most of their investment.

Upon launch, the iPhone 15 series will be available in several reputable stores across Nigeria, including Slot stores, Rifugio, Konga, Spar, and Pointek.

In conclusion, the iPhone 15 series epitomizes Apple's unwavering commitment to innovation, user experience, and environmental responsibility. The worthiness of these devices as investments ultimately depends on individual preferences and priorities.

Nonetheless, Apple's latest lineup raises the bar in the realm of smartphones, catering to the diverse needs of users and leaving a mark with its forward-thinking features.

35 years old,
No job.
No wife.
No kids.
No skill.
All I have is just my school certificate
Stay indoors 24/7 because of being ridiculed by my mates doing well.
Nobody to run to.
No one to call.
Nobody to help me.
I am just alone.
The load is too heavy for me.
I have tried to endure but I am losing my mind.
I am going insane and I don't think I will ever live a conventional life again.
I have never found true happiness all my life.
I have lived in shame, self low esteem and I have to struggle to scale through school.
All my struggles and years in school have been laboured in vain
All my siblings are doing well except me sometimes I ask myself if it was the same parents that gave birth to me that gave birth to them.
I am thirsty and I have found no one to quench my thirst.
My name will forever be erased from the surface of the earth and no one will ever remember me because I lived a hopeless life.
I asked for water, but no one gave me.
I asked for a hug, but no one gave me.
My endless tears and sorrow are about to come to an end.
I am a sinner but I have asked my maker to grant me peace and rest in his bosom for I am just a human with blood and flesh.

Bro, Here is what you should do rn

1. Stop sitting your ass down indoors, get out of your head and go look for a job. Search online, look for businesses around. Take any job that can sustain you. Find companies on twitter, ask them if they are recruiting, sell yourself.

2. Focus on getting 1 done, once you can get a job, I will tell you what to do next.

Our Gods Are Dead


What did you say?
Didn't we kill them, Our Gods?
We killed them,
By our own hands,
When we were told new stories
about a new world, a new God.

Our Gods are dead,
They remain dead,
We have killed them,
The ones we adopt are not ours,
We killed our Gods,
We burned some,
We buried some.

Who will relieve us of our agony?
How shall we amend for our sins?
Who will cleanse the blood from our hands?

These new Gods took more than they give;
Our identity, Our culture, Our tradition,
Our morals, Our spirituality, Our ideas,
Our resources too.
Sometimes we still go back to find favor with the spirit of our true Gods.

What does life mean to you?

Don't make hasty decision. Don't pressurize yourself.

If you go for the first lady; there is no assurance that she won't leave you again or she will make a good wife, love is not enough.

It's obvious the second lady has changed her ways after the introduction. And you are more likely to dump her.

Your happiness and peace of mind is more important, distance yourself from both of them for a while and reevaluate yourself.

Then come back and decide weather to choose one of them of dump them both.

Remember you are responsible for every decision you take and every action you take right new has future consequences.

See you at the top.

There is this being that has always given me trouble. She is a very special being.

Her way of making me bad is very tactical,she stays far away from me. Her absence is a very big problem.

It all started from when I was a child, the moment I began to notice her importance in my life. Things start getting weird because I need her almost everyday.

Then, I also start learning how to be contented with just possessing her in little or in moderate and how to limit how much need I use her to fulfill.

There is always a severe situation when I need her in large; one is when I have to trade her for my education. I have almost always fail in this aspect.

You might be wondering why I referred to her as she, I am sorry if this troubles you;especially if you are a gender equalist or you are an anti-chauvinist

But, think about it ; there is no way that dude can be a he. She is too controversial.

You know what, some, if not most people think she is the root of all evil. You could imagine ; how can a human say that about something which is very dear to him and his kind.

I actually used to be part of the above people, I only changed my view when I emancipated.

If she is the root of all evil, then she is the root of all good too. But she is neither.

When you posses her, she becomes a form of a superpower, where you have a choice of either being a superhero or supervillain.

She can act as a means of showing love, but she isn't love and she can't buy it.

She can act as a means of expressing care, but she isn't care.

She can make life comfortable, but she can't buy life.

I have made a pledge to possess her as much as I can, through only legal and not inimcal way.

And to use her for only super good.

Her name is money and this is my tribute to her.
