Daughter of life

Whence you see life in disastrous smoke, wear your glasses of reasoning, and imagine it as rain. when you see the rain of life laughing forth its grain pick only much that will suffice your stomach when you see life, basking in thousand stars look into tommorow, and see the sun rise. For, yesterday the clever man said, The mirror of life is blur with ignorance how unwitty she wears trousers. I will comb her hair with beauties loud paint her in purple royals yet known, I will marry her street to plentiful merriment unnerve her naivety to wisdom worth In basket full of thousand skills I will shower her blessings I will grace her right I will change the world. But today his saddle is broken, His dawn long shadow now settles at his feet. The noon of lessons have married his tongue how disappointing he wears his boastfulness. this world is long he repeatedly muffles, I am like a puppet to her running river. Woe, If only he knows that life is like a mirage who count her daintiness in

IT IS A CRIME TO BE POOR HERE

Image
The other day I was listening to Olamide’s song “Poverty Die”. The chorus got me, it went into my veins, to my bone marrows; and I remembered how being poor here is a sin, how being poor here is a crime because you will be denied of many things, many luxuries because you are a poor man; it is a crime to be poor here, a crime you never knew when you committed it, you are enslaved and imprisoned by whosoever has the money. You sell your conscience because you are poor, your freedom is denied from you by those that have the money. You don’t have a say and even if you have; it will be taken for granted. In the land of the blind, the one eye man is a king. I remember the suffering of my people, how injustices reign among them. They are getting poorer yet; they smile always amidst their poor states. They still laugh, rejoice and dance amidst their suffering. They still kill each other, they still betray each other, and they still slaughter dreams; their brothers and sisters dreams, t

How to write for clients

Image
According to Patrick Bedall the following are tips on how to write for a client: 1. Be True to the Brand When writing for other people, it's important to speak with their voice, not yours. Ideally your style will mesh exactly with the way the brand or client envisions themselves, but sometimes you have to write for brands you don't connect with-and sometimes about topics you don't even understand. In those cases, never lose sight of who it is you're writing for. You have to take care to write what's best for the brand, including phrasing, word selection, tone, audience, and themes. 2. Keep It Short I think in terms of "additive" vs. "subtractive" scripts for clients. This means I've tried writing scripts that are too short, asking the client to add details they think they need, and writing longer, more detailed pieces and requesting the client subtract details that are extraneous. In my experience, clients love what they do and are

List of the highest paid actors in 2017

Image
2017 was an excellent year for Vin Diesel, a very good year, just how good was it? Somewhat surprisingly, Vin Diesel is the highest-grossing actor at the box office in 2017. He comes in first having beat other stars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Wonder Woman Star Gal Gadot. The movie that earned him the most, of course, was The Fate of the Furious , the eighth movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise and the first without Paul Walker which brought in a total of $1.23 billion worldwide, which was the second highest grossing movie this year. The only film that brought in more was Beauty and The Beast with $1.263 billion and since The Last Jedi is still only sitting at 745 million at the time of writing it looks like there were no other significant contenders this year. With the combined total of Fate of the Furious with the box office from XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, which brought in $346.1 million worldwide Vin Diesel was able to become the highest paid actor of the y

WhatsApp will stop working on some phones after New year's Eve

Image
With the New Year just around the corner, WhatsApp is reminding users that the messenger service will soon stop working on certain smartphones and mobile platforms in 2018. In an update to a blog post first published in February 2016, the company said WhatsApp will end support for handsets running Windows 8.0 or older versions of the operating system, BlackBerry OS or BlackBerry 10 from 1 January 2018. Although the end of support does not mean the Facebook-owned app will cease to function on these platforms immediately. However, the company warned that since it will no longer "actively develop for these platforms", some features may stop functioning "at any time". Users will no longer be able to create new accounts or re-verify existing accounts on these platforms either. WhatsApp stopped supporting Nokia Symbian S60 after June 30. The app is also looking to cut support for Nokia S40 devices on 31 December 2018, and devices running Android versions 2.3.7
