According to Relevo, Barcelona have accepted a transfer request from Jules Koundé, who is frustrated playing as a right-back instead of his favourite position as a centre-back.

Chelsea board of directors is very satisfied with the performance of Cesare Casadei, who next season will play in the galactic team that makes up Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino.

Marcus Thuram has turned down an offer from Chelsea and is keen to wait to choose the right club and wants to play Champions League football.

The 'Foolish Man' and his mega refinery complex By Bayo Onanuga

Some years ago, Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man invited media leaders to a luncheon at then Protea Hotel in Ikeja to mark his 55th birthday.
Some of his guests sat around him at the centre table. They chatted freely. Discussions about our country, the state of the economy soon veered into discussing the absurdity of our country, being a major crude exporter, and also a major importer of refined petroleum products. Our colleague from a major business paper said the local conditions were unfavourable to any investor who wanted to build a refinery. He then made a remark that I believe he would live to regret: "Only a foolish man will build a refinery in Nigeria".
Aliko who had listened to all our business and political pontifications, interjected: "I am that foolish man". A pin drop silence enveloped the table as he dropped the unexpected news: "My company has just decided to build a refinery in the country. But we are doing it big". Those were his exact words, as the multi-dollar billionaire told us he was willing to spend close to $9 billion on the project.
The media big man became speechless. The rest of us caught the contagion of being flummoxed as well, as Aliko expatiated on the project. He said it will be a petrochemical complex. As the project was still on the drawing board, he did not tell us it will be the biggest refinery in the world, capable of processing 650,000 barrels of crude daily. All the hint he gave was that it will be 'big'. Our takeaway was that it will be big like Aliko's involvement in cement, sugar, pasta and other businesses.
He didn't say it will include a fertiliser plant and a power plant that can supply enough electricity to Nigeria's South West, excluding Lagos.
Initially billed for Ogun State, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery surprisingly shifted location to Lagos, just opposite the creek separating the two states. Governor Dapo Abiodun may want to probe his predecessor, Ibikunle Amosun, why he allowed the complex to move to neighbouring Lagos.
The gigantic project is now sitting in all majesty in the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Ibeju-Lekki, covering a land area of approximately 2,635 hectares, seven times the size of Victoria Island.
The complex is the world’s Largest Single-Train 650,000 barrels per day Petroleum Refinery with 900 KTPA Polypropylene Plant.
It comes with a 435 MW Power Plant, which will be able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan DisCo of 860,316 MWh covering five States including Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Kwara and Ekiti.
The refinery, according to its fact sheet, can meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products, including Gasoline,Diesel, Kerosene, and Aviation Jet.
It will also be able to produce surplus of each of these products for export.
Designed for 100% Nigerian Crude, the refinery has flexibility to process other crudes. No wonder it is located near the sea shore.
Today President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned the gigantic petrochemical complex.
Just as we rejoice with Aliko Dangote and the Dangote Group family, we need to give kudos to the Buhari administration for ensuring that the complex comes to fruition, by ensuring that it was not starved of needed foreign exchange and taking a stake in it.
For Aliko, all is well that ends well. The complex will bring to an end our country's many decades of shame, for being unable to refine its crude and having to depend on importation, wasting scarce forex.
The 'foolish man' of 11 years ago has demonstrated once again that he is a man of wisdom, a peerless shrewd investor who sees clearly the 'bigger picture', when his compatriots are bogged down by parochialism and immediate monetary gains.

Pochettino faced 3peat Real Madrid under Zidane with an inferior team and outclassed them at White Hart Lane and were a major threat at the Bernabéu in a 1-1 draw. This is often forgotten.
If you judge player and managers off their time at PSG, you’re misguided. When they make ultra reliable citizens like Pochettino and Wijnaldum look average and Messi not have a functional role in the Champions League, you know there is a major major issue with the club culture.

Mauricio Pochettino is seen as an elite coach with the personality and temperament to work with Chelsea’s new hierarchy and unify the club.

Rio Ferdinand: "I think Levi Colwill is the best one they have at Chelsea. He’s better than Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. Did you see the way Colwill was slapping that ball around against Arsenal? This season he has been better than Fofana and Badiashile, 100%."

afrodoc2:
Is Badiashile better than Colwill?

The only thing Colwill have over Badiashile is recovery pace

Mauricio Pochettino wants to build his Chelsea squad around a core of homegrown players. He's identified Levi Colwill, Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount and Reece James as players who could be instrumental to his project.

Rickie Lambert on Poch: "He’s the manager who I say is the best manager I’ve come across, by some distance as well. His man-management is second to none, and his tactical side and attention to detail is second to none. I think the fans are going to love him, they’re very lucky."

Bellatemi12:
Please do you know the location of this place? Got an interview with them I want to know more about them.

I don't know the location just saw the job posting on Twitter and shared as seen

A001:
I know where you're heading with this. Not interested. Can you tell me who Luna, Ojo, Ohmorihi are? Do you know their history?

How come Kogi is present in both Nigeria and Columbia? What's the connection?

That's the kind of valuable and beneficial knowledge a sensible African seeks, not wasting time on those frivolous questions you asked about the Arabic culture.

No people can develop if they don't learn the history and culture of their ancestors.

Enough with the devotion to the Arabs.

Answer my question and I will attempt yours

A001 as a former Ahl us-Sunnah, what's the position of Ahl us-Sunnah regarding the names and attributes of Allah? Does Emaan increase or decrease? Mention two books with the title of Sunnah and name their authors? Who is popularly referred to as Imam Darul Hijrah?

Lampard on Chalobah: "He's always had technical ability. He's played as a No.6, played as a right-sided CB, where he steps into areas. You rely on the level of the player to be able to step in, to be able to make crosses, to be able to have a physical capacity, which he's got."

Levi Colwill vs Arsenal

95 passes
86% pass accuracy
1 key pass
13/20 accurate long balls
2/2 tackles won
3 interceptions
1 blocked shot
4 clearances
1/2 aerial duels won
3/4 of all duels won

This summer will be interesting

History will be kind to Aliko Dangote and his peers who believed and invested in Nigeria manufacturing sector despite the numerous challenges acting as stumbling blocks.

If your default response to a post is insult then it shows you are the one with sub-zero IQ (even though IQ is not a measure of intelligence)

Ian Wright: "Great news for Chelsea. Hopefully Pochettino will get the control in respects of the transfers and what’s going on because I think this is a massive opportunity for him to build a project where he can win something because he has got players there who are waiting

BlueMann:
Lautaro ain't a bad player at all. Matter of fact, I do like him. He nearly drove me insane at the world cup though.

Many people have allowed his performance at the World Cup to becloud their judgement of him, tournament football is not a yardstick of judging players you may end up with a James Rodriguez

Chelsea are continuing to follow the situation of Moises Caicedo. (
