Let us start with the description of the players. Sancho plays for Dortmund, having been promoted from the academy of Manchester City. He is a very clinical winger, who knows how to make assists, run into defenders, make successful take-ons, score goals as well, and very pacy. I strongly believe the fast style of play of City would fit him and step up his game. Playing for Dortmund cannot be compared to playing in the EPL, regardless, we cannot rule Sancho being a success at any EPL team. Coutinho, on the other hand, has proven to be a success at Liverpool. He was very instrumental in Klopp’s squad. His freekick, R2 shots, passes, moves, dribbles were what caught the eye of Barcelone to make over 70 million pounds move for him. Coutinho has not been able to adapt to life in Barcelona. I believe he was not given the time he needed to settle into Barce kind of play. As a result, he got loaned to Bayern Munich, which he still struggles to fit in. These guys are the headline of transfer news in the world of football.
Reports have it that Chelsea wants to sign both players in the summer. Chelsea is trying to build a team from scratch. With their new acquired Ziyach, I think Coutinho would fit into Chelsea more because the team need a creative midfielder, which I believe Coutinho is the answer to. A 75million pounds proposed move of Coutinho to Chelsea is being criticized as a result of the pandemic.
Sancho could either move to Chelsea or Manchester United for a record fee definitely. I think he would be needed more at United than Chelsea who I do not see benching their highly-rated Hudson-Odoi and Pulisic. So, United would be a suitable option for Sancho.

Look, you probably aren’t even aware of how much you actually complain. When I first tried out this method, I switched the bracelet every 10 minutes. Whaaat?
This was super embarrassing and shameful to realize. I wasn’t even aware of how often I complain until I had visual feedback. But the more I focused on keeping the bracelet on one hand, the more interesting it got. I turned it into a game.
I use a simple hair tie, because it’s elastic and I can take it into the shower.
The result were real, however. In just the first week, I would complain significantly less, felt calmer, and more positive as a result. Every time I wanted to snap at some minuscule inconvenience, the bracelet on my hand reminded me that “Hey, just chill dude. It’s not that important.”
According to the author of this challenge, Will Bowen, it takes about 6 months to go full 21 days without complaining. Even if you never make it full 21 days, you will feel stronger, more confident, and much calmer. Just because you won’t eradicate complaining completely, cutting it down will have a significant impact on your life. If you complain 30 times a day, cutting that number down to 10 is still a huge improvement.
You will also become better at judging whether something is actually a crisis or not. You will become focused on solving problems rather than just being outraged by everything. This will help you keep a cool head and make better decisions.
Don’t be one of those people who complain all the time and blame everybody else. Nobody respects those kinds of people. Instead, be someone with firm beliefs who accomplishes what they set out to do and thrive in the face of adversity.
Or just complain about how I am wrong and don’t know what I’m talking about. Either way, you will prove me right
Marriage, as you said, is one of the best unions young people can find themselves. It is a union that offers no certificate of completion.

Marriage, as you said, is one of the best unions young people can find themselves. It is a union that offers no certificate of completion. Marriage is a lifetime commitment which is complex to understand. It’s a union that no party is allowed to get out alive, going by the oaths taking, “till death do us part”. Regardless, its feelings are next to none in terms of happiness and sweetness.
It is quite appalling to see the way young ladies go about getting wedded without making plans for marriage. Well, you see, a wedding is a glamorous one-day celebration that leads to marriage; a lifelong contract that leverage understanding and loads of commitment from both partners. Many a time, ladies do not consider the compatibility and required in marriage, they are just caught up in the hushed wind of the wedding’s galore.
As there is no perfect age to getting married, it is imperative to reach a certain age in terms of maturity, responsibility and understanding. Marriage is a very delicate relationship. The perfect time to get married is no time actually. Clocking a certain age is no yardstick to being eligible for marriage. As a matter of fact, the oldest man might not be marriage-ready.
Getting married takes a lot of consistent and continuous effort to make things work whenever it gets ugly; which is a guarantee. So, the best time to get married is when I believe you are:
Of a marriageable mind and soul;
Comfortable taking care of two or three persons;
Understanding and tolerant;
Gainfully employed;
Have multiple sources of income, perhaps.
The list is inexhaustible. So, we all need to have the state of the mind for marriage before dreaming about it. Marriage is desirable, nonetheless. It is imperative for you to understand what you are about to commit yourself to.

To love is to suffer. Not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer.
Love is a complex set of emotions, behaviours, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person.
There are different kinds of love known: Agape, philio, erotic, to mention but a few.
Agape love is the unconditional, selfless, generous, unending, parasitic (in the sense that one person is the giver and continues to give regardless) type. This is the kind of love God shows us. It does not matter what we do, He would still love us. This love cannot be shown by humans. I stand to be corrected, it is not easy to come by in man.
Philio love is the one shown in a family, usually between parents/mothers and their offsprings, siblings, spouses, friends. It could be a little bit synonymous with the agape in the sense that families do not turn back on themselves, whatever the storm that rages. A mother would always love her children, more than the father would, at the expense of her welfare and being. Mothers are quite priceless and show a next-to-none attention, care, love and emotions, to cap it up.
Erotic love is the sensual kind of love. The one that is driven, ruled and ordered after the dictate of the flesh. The sole aim of this love is to have, in most cases, carnal knowledge of the opposite gender. Ever wondered why a young man/woman runs after you for a period of time and the moment he/she gets that fleshy satisfaction they disappear into thin air as vapour or better still you mean little or nothing to them?
It is imperative to carefully choose the recipient of one’s love in order to feel loved in return. As it is not easy to “unlove” whoever you have once loved.

The Union of European Football Association, UEFA, will hold a meeting of its decision-making executive committee on April 23, with discussions likely to centre on how, when and if the European football season will be able to resume amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
UEFA had suspended the Champions League, Europa League, and the European Championship play-offs indefinitely due to the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) across the globe.
Football associations, leagues, clubs and players around Europe are debating how to finish the current season and ensure the safety of players and officials.
UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, has made it clear that it wants its member associations to complete their domestic leagues rather than abandon them. It also hopes to finish the Champions League and Europa League competitions.
UEFA said in a statement on Thursday that the meeting, to be preceded by a session for the general secretaries of its 55 member associations and will “discuss the latest developments regarding the impact caused by the Coronavirus outbreak on European football.”
“The meetings will be by video conference and will look at developments across both domestic and European competitions,” it added.
The League is a fun-filled one, with surprises and so many underdogs stealing the day. Having said these, we hope the Champions League would be back by May/June, and we would have our eventful Tuesday and Wednesday nights of extreme, classic, haven-bliss, goose-bumpy-giving, mind-blowing European football

Starting with football competitions between the late 90s and early 2000s. It was a football generation where the players were not concerned about fame or passion. There was more of team play, they believed Together Everyone Achieve More. I would not shy away from the fact that there were outstanding individuals; Pele, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, to mention a few, but these were focused and passion-driven to helping their team to attain success. The rivalry between teams and players was a healthy one. It moved rivals to put up better performances. AC Milan had defeated Liverpool in the UCL final before Liverpool defeat them in 2005/2006 season.
More so, players were simple in terms of lifestyle and goal celebration. There was little or no scandal amidst players. There were professionalism and game respect by all participants at all levels. Everyone respected themselves.
Another is the way players jubilate whenever they score a goal. They throw their hands in the hair accompanying it with a hop like a Kangaroo.
Football was fun and void of scandal or match-fixing, unhealthy rivalry, controversial officiating. Players played for the love of the game and necessarily not for the ads on and freebies.

Life is a two sided coin in all facet; be it health, wealth or others.
Being in good health is such a priceless feeling one must and should never take lightly. It is now that we all value being in a healthy state of mind and thought. A quick one, being in good health is not strictly restricted to a good physical state but having a healthy mindset void of worries and anxiety. On the other hand, being in a bad state of health is something no one would never wish for.
Being in wealth, a friend said, is having everything at one’s beck and call, life being easy. There is a common say that has it that one should make wealth in their mid 30s- 40s. As much as this could be true, it could amass pressure on an individual forcing them to do illegal and unhealthy things beyond their capacities. Being poor, is just something to talk about. It entails so much that words would not accommodate.
Whatever phase you find yourself, it is imperative to be grateful and wish work hard for the best

The Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOS) recognise the challenging effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the economic and daily lives of our customers.
In fulfilment our commitments to the nation, they hereby align ourselves with the efforts of the National Assembly and the Federal Executive to mitigate the hardships that are currently being borne by our customers and other citizens all over the country.
They commend the Federal Legislators, the Executive arm and The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) for their initiative and are committed to working with them to ensure more efficient power supply within this difficult period, as the nation battles with the ravages of COVID-19.
They are also completely aligned with the plans to ensure palliative measures, including free electricity supply to all Nigerians for two months, to make life easier, during the lockdown period. Details of implementation to come soon.
Again, as a key utility player in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), they have reiterated their commitment to improving service delivery to the nation during this pandemic period and thereafter.
Having read these, I would like to implore us all to be committed to paying our electricity bills once this is over.
To start with, the bills you pay on the electricity service you get from your distribution company has a long relation than you might imagine. The Distribution company was purchased with a loan from CBN at the rate of N180/$ but are paying at the rate of N360/$. This means DisCos are paying more thaRead more

The Distribution company was purchased with a loan from CBN at the rate of N180/$ but are paying at the rate of N360/$. This means DisCos are paying more than double to the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Every meagre bill you pay, a wholesome accumulation of it could be billions of Naira. Mind you, the DisCos are not the only one with access to this billion.
They pay a certain percentage to CBN, another to NBET (Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trader. They are the financial intermediary between the Generation Companies and the Distribution Companies), they also have a minimum remittance they give to NERC( Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission).
So, the DisCos do a lot with your money and I would want us to take it easy with them by most shifting blames on them whenever things go wrong in the power sector.
