PoliticsKwankaso's Legacy As Former Governor Of Kano by Astrid4(op): 9:11am On Sep 22, 2022
One of my most telling legacies as governor of Kano is in the vast improvement in the human capital of our people.

I have fond memories of thousands of our citizens benefiting from scholarship opportunities to advance themselves in major and specialized courses.
That include engineering, medicine, aviation and the likes. Some of these include;

1. Sent over 2,600 students to 14 countries including UK, UAE, Ukraine, Turkey, Cyprus, India China, Malaysia, among others across the world.

2. Sponsored 450 students to further their studies locally at Igbinedion, Bells and Crescent and Al-Qalam Universities

3. Sponsored Post Graduate Training of 21 Candidates in Public Health at Texas A & M University, USA.
4. Sponsored 8 students for dispatcher pilot course at College of Aviation, Zaria.

5. Overhauled primary schools, through the construction of about 2,000 classrooms and 1,000 offices.

6. Re-introduced free feeding for all primary school pupils 5 times a week.

9. Provided 2 free sets of uniform for all primary school pupils.

10. Constructed 400 Kwankwasiyya teachers' lodge in rural primary and secondary schools.

11. Established 4 new high standard Secondary and Technical Colleges.

12. All medical students indigent of the State were placed on GL: 07 as monthly allowance.

13. Approved the setup of 300 laboratories of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in 100 Secondary Schools.

14. Established 44 Technical and Islamic Studies Schools.

16. Sponsored 100 persons for Degree in Medicine overseas.

17. Established 26 new Institutes for vocational training.

18. Sponsored 100 persons for Piloting and Aeronautical Engineering in Jordan.

19. Sponsored 100 persons for a Degree in Pharmacy overseas.

20. Sponsored 100 females to study Medicine (Gynaecology) abroad.

21. Sponsored 25 Candidates to India and UK to study Marine Engineering.

22. Sponsored 45 students for aeronautical engineering course at the College of Aviation Zaria.

23. Sponsored 502 youths for Ph.Ds and Masters degree programmes overseas.

This is what we intend to scale at the national level which will definitely end the present educational backwardness. We should bring our students back to their classrooms, thereby preventing incidents like the recent blockage of airport access roads by these students.

Court followers and promotion. No dey cap.

No Album in Africa has been promoted like MIL was. Even if you open Kuda app, FPL, Porn sites, Blockchain app, Xender, App Store or even your camera, you’ll see MIL ads forcing you to click.

No dey cap!!

Wizkid is riding on OG tax, Essence blew the album and it wasn’t even his singles.

One on one, Wizkid has never produced any better Album compared to Fireboy since. But we’re not ready for this conversation
Which kain mumu take be this MIL is the biggest album that came out of africa in 2020; they nominated this album for Grammy,won album of the year African Entertainment Awards USA,

Within one week of release, Made in Lagos broke several African streaming records; it became the first African album to debut on the Spotify Global Album chart, debuting within the top ten. The album surpassed 100 million streams across five platforms nine days after release, a rare milestone for Afro-pop artists.

It debuted at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart with over 4,100 album-equivalent units and number 80 on the US Billboard 200 with over 10,000 album-equivalent units.Following the release of the deluxe edition, the album sold an additional 17,000 units in the United States, peaking at number 28 on the US Billboard 200. It has spent over 90 weeks on the Billboard world albums' chart.

Wizkid has court followers so it’s expected for people to stream, not because it’s a quality song but because people are curious to listen to his singles since he’s yet to drop a quality hit singles in almost a decade now.

He’s finished!! Just busy shouting Casmeiro, Ege ge ge ge and Camavinga up and down!

[s]Wetin Queen Eliza sef do no good during Biafra war.

Plotted the killing of Northern and SW elites with Nzoegwu while freeing Igbo elites.

Took over from Gowon to declare war and gave instructions that led to attacks and bombing.

I remember the Queen’s office in Ojukwu’s bunker in Umuahia that year, if you go there now, they’ll show you the Queen’s office then.

She no try atall. She also told Awolowo to sabotage and betray Ojukwu after their private plans.

So many reasons to blame the Queen for the Biafra war. I hope the Queen’s corpse saves us from this current politicians stealing and looting, because she planned it with them too when she was alive[/s].

CHELSEA FC⚽️��:
Tuchel has no desire to take time away from Football, the abrupt ending has left a bitter taste in his mouth as he is understood to indentify more closely with Chelsea than any of his other clubs.

Tuchel’s initial wishlist included De Jong, De Ligt, Raphinha and Kimpembe, the owners delivered none. Boehly and Egbali leant on data analysts with experience in US sports while Tuchel stressed the need for him to talk to potential signings.

Tuchel did not initiate a single conversation with one first team player at Chelsea for more than a year, offering him no guidance on how they could get back into his team whenever they fell out of the starting 11.

(The Athletic UK)

ℹ️@Chelsea_fc_worldwide

Boehly described Tuchel as a nightmare to work with to a league executive. Tuchel was unhappy at being asked to report back to Egbhali about his team meetings and felt he was likely to be sacked during pre season. After Leeds, they stopped communicating.

When Boehly met Cucurella in Mykonos:Over the course of his conversations with the player and his representatives,Boehly displayed detailed knowledge of Potter’s career—Boehly also contacted Potter to ask about Cucurella.

Tuchel was unhappy at being asked to feed back to Eghbali about his team meetings and felt he was likely to be sacked during pre-season because of it, only for Boehly to smooth things over.

After Chelsea had lost away to Leeds a few games into the season, Tuchel and the owners stopped talking.

Capaldi:
With this attitude most incoming coaches will get tired of working with him very quickly. Wanting coaches to explain everything, from why they want or don’t want this transfer target, why this formation of tactics etc. That was how Abrahimovic was asking Mourinho "who was Drogba" "Where does he play for"and why he wanted him but Mourinho just said "Pay and don't speak. Nobody wants to be micromanaged like that, coaches just want to do their job and leave the transfer business to others while giving little input themselves.
He deserves an explanation cos it seems this dude are already to spend money and their money must be justified, it doesn't matter whether they're big names or not, what matters is do they fit into the team tactics or not, that's was the data analysis is all about
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Astrid4(m): 7:31am On Sep 08, 2022
“Thomas Tuchel showed no emotional intelligence to adapt to the new structure and didn’t like speaking to so many people about transfers.

"His role wasn’t as complicated as he made it out to be too. He just had to give his say in who he wanted”

“Tuchel’s man management at the start was brilliant he got many players who were unhappy back in the team and built a brilliant squad harmony.

"But then all of a sudden in the last six months that all evaporated and many players became frustrated with him. Especially the attacking ones. 5 out of the 7 attacking players wanted out."

"Tuchel said no multiple times to Ronaldo as boehly and egbahli wanted a reason why he was saying no."

"They wanted to sit down with him and look at it from a data aspect and see why didn’t fit the team and Tuchel simply didn’t like that."

"The new ownership have been asking ppl about the hottest big prospect coaches around if they were gonna look to sack Tuchel back when they took charge of the club and Potter was a name which was coming back constantly and now hence why they moved for him."

This seems like the real he was sacked, conflict in ideas and vision between the gaffer and the owners
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Astrid4(m): 6:30pm On Sep 07, 2022
Boehly learned that some senior players were unhappy with Tuchel’s tactics and is keen to make his own appointment. Chelsea used three formations in Zagreb, one of which included using Sterling in central midfield.

Thomas Tuchel did not want Chelsea to sign Anthony Gordon. Todd Boehly's data analysts pushed for the signing after being impressed by some of his performance metrics.

Thomas Tuchel was prepared to let Armando Broja leave Chelsea this summer due to believing he was not yet ready for his team. He was also ready to leave Hakim Ziyech depart.

It was actually a 4-0 pre-season defeat to Arsenal that first made Chelsea's new American owners realize a change might be needed.

Sources also tell CBS Sports that transfer deadline day was tumultuous. Tuchel became annoyed at the time it took to sign Aubameyang and felt Granovskaia would have got a deal for Ajax's Edson Alvarez over the line.

Back at the start of the summer, there were real hopes within the new ownership group that Thomas Tuchel would provide the much-needed stability and continuity as the club ventured into uncharted territory.

Yet the ownership and management at Stamford Bridge did not know whether they could work together. These were characters flung together abruptly by circumstance.

Chelsea’s new owners have quickly discovered what Abramovich had long since learned: as soon as the relationship between head coach and hierarchy is perceived to have broken down, there is no recovery.

Five of Chelsea's seven attackers wanting to leave and being deeply unhappy during the transfer window was a reflection on Thomas Tuchel's management and something the owners were paying attention to.

Graham Potter
Not a big name coach. But just like Harry Potter the magician, the guy has performed admirably well in all his appointments. From his time in Sweden to currently with Brighton, its clear why he is Chelsea current best option.

Pott is Not a big name coach but tactical Genius, down to earth guy who knows how to relate to players and bring the best out of average players.

He prefers 3-4-2-1 but is very versatile and non rigid oftenly playing 3-4-3, 3-5-2 l. At osternds he prefered 4_4_2 double 6. that is very expansive and exciting to watch. His teams play proactive and never shy away from attacking irregardless of the opponents they are facing. This has brought him both joy and pain including the demolition of manchester united, Arsenal and leicester.

Brighton unlike chelsea choose zones and traps to press. He sometimes sets his team up with zonal markings which end up catastrophically opening defence in wide areas. His midfield is also fluid and encouraged to move with balls to create space. During attack, his defenders push into midfield allowing the upfront players create a wide 5 attack. In a game you'd see his wingbacks coming in sometimes to create midfield overloads and cucurela was largely known for his vertical passes from wing positions and played as midfield pivot from Left Centreback position.

But what would certainly make him a match for the new regime is his ability to develop young and average potential players. Tariq Lamptey has certainly flourished under him amongst others.

Its worth pointing out also that most of the goals brighton have scored have mostly been moments of individual inspirations. Most long range efforts. Of the current crop of chelsea players only mount is known for this. It will be interesting to see how chelsea will find their way with this.

It will be the period between 15/02/2022 - 16th March 2022 when he lost six consective epl games that should however cast confidence in his knowledge to ride predicaments. But at chelsea where only 3 cost Tuchel he will learn to adapt faster. It will certainly be a roller coaster of a ride.

Thomas Tuchel did not expect to get sacked by Chelsea, he was ready for training this morning and think about the match against Fulham.

Todd Boehly feels he spent a lot of money to rebuild the Chelsea squad this summer and the results were not as expected

Tuchel and Boehly tried to make it work in the summer, Tuchel was not so happy with some situations like not landing De Ligt who he wanted as top priority, Boehly wanted Ronaldo at Chelsea but Tuchel said no, many things were not perfect between Tuchel & Boehly.

Boehly wants a manager who has ideas close to his plan, he wants to rebuild everything at Chelsea, the feeling around Boehly is this is just the beginning.

Boehly was looking at Erling Haaland at Man City and what Liverpool have been doing and felt Chelsea were slipping further behind, Potter will be given money in the January window and a long contract.

Chelsea’s ownership didn’t feel Tuchel was animated enough over the new signings, the understanding was that not many of them were his signings and it was more broader approach, bringing players through that could be improved long term with good coaching.

The new owners are looking at a 5-10 year trajectory.

Pochettino is open to replacing Thomas Tuchel.
