Difference between Jose Morinho and Arsen Wenger explained

Image
Manchester Evening News, an online news platform promoting Manchester United football club has explained the major difference between Manchester United manager, Jose Morinho and the manager of Arsenal Fc, Arsen Wenger using the recently concluded transfer of Alex Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as case study. Hear them: Arsene Wenger is friendlier than Jose Mourinho . That revelation from the recently departed Henrikh Mkhitaryan is one that Manchester United fans - and indeed most football fans - won't have needed. But it is a neat reminder not just of the difference between the mentality of the two managers, but of the different standards and ambitions being demanded at the two clubs themselves. Mourinho is a winner. He is building a team of winners. It is one of the reasons why he pursued Alexis Sanchez this January, and why he was willing to let Mkhitaryan go to get the deal done. The Armenian said: "Mourinho required a lot from the players. A lot, he was very h

Facebook introduce jail option

Image
In a move to empower group administrators on the Facebook social media platform to descipline violators of group rules and regulations, facebook has introduced a mute option to jail offenders for specific period. By jail, it means that the person’s freedom on the group will be curtailed within the specific duration of their being muted by the administrator. This feature is considered better because before now, the only available option is for the admin to remove or block members who violate the rules of the group. However, with the option of mute, such violator can be muted or jailed for specific duration as warning. Besides the mute option on groups, facebook had also introduced snoze option for individual profiles and pages. Facebook has given you an option to mute selected persons or communities for a brief period. With this option, users can assert control over what content they wish to see in their news feed. When the Snooze period is about to end, users will be duly notified

Who should we trust?

There are indeed some things that cannot be bought with money because of their spiritual value. Trust is one of such. Unfortunately, betrayal of trust counts as one of the most heinous crimes that can be committed in inter-personal human relationships- Abd-Ru-Shin. Some time last year, I read a story about a young man who resides in Europe and made it a duty to regularly send money home to his family. Apart from the usual money for upkeep and family life he regularly send, he had also been sending money to his parents to build a decent house for him. For more than 5 years, the young man never came to the country, until he came home last year, only to discover that his parents hadn’t built the house they told him they had built. The man was so angry that he took his parents to the police and got them locked up. When he eventually got them freed, he promised never to come back to the country again. Similarly, a U.S based victim recently told me of how she entrusted her Nigerian b

Despicable betrayal of friendship and family trust

By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat There are indeed some things that cannot be bought with money because of their spiritual value. Trust is one of such. Unfortunately, betrayal of trust counts as one of the most heinous crimes that can be committed in inter-personal human relationships- Abd-Ru-Shin Betrayal is the sense of being harmed by the intentional actions or omissions of a trusted person. The opposite of betrayal is trust. In the word of Steve Stosny, human beings need to trust. Trust allays anxiety, helps lift depression, and makes it possible to consistently invest interest and enjoyment in one another. In contrast, distrust is fraught with anxiety and resentment. No loneliness is lonelier than distrust. Distrust make people isolate themselves from others, they suspect everyone they encounter. Most times, they go lonely because they are scared to trust again, hoping that their seclusion from people will shield them from being hurt again. Unfortunately, seclusion doesn’t bring about

How Babalawo dealt with NEPA in Osogbo

Image
A traditional herbalist, popularly known as babalawo dealt with a staff of PHCN in Osogbo, the Osun state Capital. Punch Newspaper reported the story in full. I don’t know how to translate this into English, but “ohun t’aba wi f’ogbo, logbo ngbo…” is the most popular Yoruba incantation used by Ifa believers to spellbind an individual; hypnotise the enemy or arrest an awkward situation. But some Ifa adherents don’t have to chant incantations. They are incantations themselves! The Araba of Osogbo, Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon, belongs to this class of esoteric clan of Ifa votaries. It was about midday in the heart of Osogbo. Some officials of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria were on a mass disconnection at the Ayetoro area of the city capital. Snaillike, their vehicle inched towards Ifayemi Elebuibon Street, stopping at the very pole in front of the expansive residence of the Ifa priest. Four PHCN officials alighted from the vehicle. A group of residents, whose electricity

IBB debunks statement on President Buhari

IBB DEBUNKS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BUHARI My attention has been drawn to a report making rounds especially online in which I was quoted as advising Nigerians not to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the coming 2019 election. Not only is the said statement untrue, it is in its entirety, an inaccurate representation of my view of the state of our dear Nation. As a former President and an elder statesman, I have existing communication channels through which I reach out to President Muhammadu Buhari on topical issues of national importance, should there be the need so to do. The media, both online or mainstream and indeed the unsuspecting public are advised to disregard such false reports. Thank you and God Bless you all. Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Rtd) (GCFR) Former Military President Federal Republic of Nigeria Hilltop Mansion Minna, Niger state. 4th February 2018

Image
The dust raised by an open letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo is yet to settle and the nation has been hit with another bomb shell from another ex-president, Ibrahim Babangida, who has also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to step down after his first tenure in 2019. IBB in the statement signed on his behalf by his spokesman, Prince Kassim Afegbua said it was a thing of irony that the country that himself and other Nigerians fought to keep together is daily being drawn to the seems by the flow of blood across the land. Full Statement “In the past few months and weeks, I have played host to many concerned Nigerians who have continued to express legitimate and patriotic worry about the state of affairs in the country. Some of them have continued to agonize about the turn of events and expressly worried why we have not gotten our leadership compass right as a country with so much potential and opportunity for all. Some, out of frustration, have elected to interrogate t
