What is the difference between TV series and Movies

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TV SERIES AND A MOVIE.

I figured I’d share a bit of something with this post. Something the average Nigerian probably doesn't know about films.

A TV series is divided into episodes and seasons. It is what Nigerians usually call ‘Seasonal movie’ but that is not the right term. They are TV series because of the allotted times they are aired on channels on screen, it has a definite running time. 

Whereas a movie, also called a Feature movie is a one-off movie, running from an hour to about 3 hours. The movies could have follow-ups, like other “parts” with the same characters. There are short movies though (but that's not the focus of this post)

To be more specific, a TV series would be something like “Game of Thrones” (had to use that since it is so popular). However, a feature film will be the usual movies we have here in Naija, aired on Africa Magic. 

But these distributors can be something else, you will see a feature film right here and instead of naming it Part 1 and 2, you will see Season 1 and so on, never mind that same film is probably 42 minutes max. 

In some cases though, TV series span into seasons. As aforementioned above, Game of Thrones easily fit in the picture. However, TV series such as most K-dramas have only one season but the pirates would divide a TV series that is 16 episodes into 4 seasons and sell. I guess, that is where the confusion comes in for those of us in this part of the world. 

So, how many of us have always been aware of this?  Or is this a new info?

I believe in Football and the impact it has had on my life. For me Football have always been more than just a game to play with friends. To me Football was everything, I had Football posters, Football pillow cases, watched Football movies. My whole life revolved around Football. I’ve been consumed by it since the day I was born. When I was young I was like any other kid except for I have always been short and until about age 11 I was skinny as a twig. These two faults in my genetic make up made it so it was hard for me to do some things I wanted to do. My favorite sport had always been football, but due to my size I did not meet the size requirements to play. So because of that I had to play other sports such as Dodgeball and Relay. Even as a child I knew playing these sports would only make me better, but mainly i just wanted to play football. Even though I was not always motivated to play these sports they had taught me a key element that would be necessary later in football and la

Notions (Wi-Fi)

We don't know what we have until we lose it. I had written something down on this particular issue, and that had been a depressing stuff. However, the one I'm emphasising on today is actually more stupid than sad, although I'm very sad about it. From my first year, I had prided myself in it having subscribed a monthly data plan by myself while school is in session. It's not difficult to guess the reason for my boasting, WI-FI, my very own "Lionet WiFi". Then, YouTube and Instagram was my second home. I dallied a bit on WhatsApp and Facebook, but my base was YouTube. I knew the latest songs that were released, the trending ones and the views each was getting. It went as far as checking the comments in each video. This girl didn't know that my WiFi will be stripped from me without warning. It was like the Biblical saying of Jesus coming like a thief at night, I guess the WiFi stopped working at night. I am not too sure. My very own WiFi. I was downloadin

Took so long

 It took me a while to come to this realisation I can criticise orthodox Christianity while enjoying gospel music. I can decide not to be religious, but groove to music You know why? Because music is transcendental. Same way you enjoy secular music as a Christian. Same way I'd enjoy an artist music without necessarily liking them as a person There is legit no black and white in matters of ideologies, faith, etc Most things are in the grey
