And so the fairytale meteoric rise of Leicester City FC in the English game finally and fittingly reached a glorious crescendo. Leicester are the new BPL champions! The players and coaches' names forever etched in Leicester City's folklore. What a story! What a history made! The city of Leicestershire has been added to the comity of English cities to witness the BPL trophy parade. Just quite amazing!

As we eulogize Leicester's remarkable and history making BPL success, it's important to reflect on the lessons that can and indeed, should be learned from this mega footballing story of 2016.

1. HARDWORK AND DETERMINATION PAYS:
Leicester City achieved this remarkable feat not by jugging around the pitch. Over the course of the campaign, players and the coaching staff put in a remarkable amount of hardwork and determination. Their never-say-die attitude is epitomized by Jamie Vardy, Ngolo Kante, Danny Drinkwater, Wes Morgan, to call but a few. Even in the face of popular pessimism about their ability to win BPL, the players remained undeterred, determined and positive, marrying hardwork with belief. That has paid off.

2. BE ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE:
Following Barcelona and Spain's successes in football, gained through paying huge attention to possession-based football, the footballing world set about copying the Barcelona model. Not Leicester! Instead, Ranieri developed his own model of ceding possession to the opponent while exploiting the opponent's flaws through a quick counter attacking play. It worked like magic and today, Leicester is on everyone's lips. Be original! Be creative! You must not go with the crowd to make it.

3. WORK UNDER THE RADAR, LET YOUR SUCCESSES DO THE TALKING:
While Arsene Wenger talked about Arsenal mental strength, Mourinho having a subtle fight with his players, Man.City flirting with the issue of having Pep Guardiola as coach, Leicester were quietly doing the job required of champions. Succinctly put, Leicester did their talking where it mattered - on the pitch and they now have their trophy taking for them. Work hard silently, let your successes talk for you.

4. BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE IT EVEN WHEN OTHERS DOUBT YOU:
Leicester may have targeted survival over the BPL title at the beginning of the season but immediately they saw that they can win the title, they never stopped believing! The consensus among the footballing world, even as at February 2016, was that Leicester will falter along the way. Instead of allowing that popular doubt to derail their ambition, it spurred them on. When others doubt your ability to make it, believe in yourself and work towards proving your doubters wrong. He that believes, receives!

5. GOD-FACTOR (LUCK) IS EVERYTHING:
While Leicester worked hard, they were also lucky with injuries. While Man.City, Man. United, Arsenal, Liverpool and even Chelsea had key men injured over the course of the campaign, Leicester were extraordinarily lucky with injuries. Would Leicester have won the BPL without having the luxury of selecting Jamie Vardy, Ngolo Kante, Wes Morgan and Riyad Mahrez week-in week-out? The obvious answer is No! Definitely, Leicester players were not the only players in BPL working hard, but they were the ones whose calls were divinely answered.
Work hard but remember that the battle is not of the swift and the strong. It's not of he that willeth or of he that runneth but of God that showeth mercy. Put God first!

On the final day of season, Leicester (New Champions) would be given a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea (immediate past Champion). Ranieri would be honoured on the same ground were he was deemed not good enough. How fitting!

Finally, the seemingly impossible feat has just happened, the fairy tale story is completed. Leicester City have just won the the 2015/2016 English Premier League with 2 games remaining, courtesy of an Eden Hazard equalizer that ensured Chelsea played a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspurs, which means Leicester's closest Spurs will not be able to catch Leicester City.

Guy no talk DAT thing oo. Although I get ur point concerning Nigerians and 'attributing God' to everything thereby making mockery of d whole thing, I still believe and know DAT God still plays a huge role to certain successes.

I believe that heaven helps those DAT help themselves. Leicester City worked really hard for this and heaven smiled on them. They were determined and God saw their faith.
