Sports / Eden Hazard's Father Thierry Believes His Son May Not Join Real Madrid by DammieYo(m): 4:49pm On Aug 25, 2018
Eden Hazard's father Thierry believes his son may not join Real Madrid
- The Belgium international is a target for the current European League champions
- Real Madrid want Eden Hazard to replace Cristiano Ronaldo who has joined Juventus
Thierry who is the father of Chelsea star Eden Hazard is not sure whether his star son will be joining Spanish giants Real Madrid in the future or not.
This season in the Premier League, Hazard has not started a game for the Blues, but he is expected to face Newcastle United on Sunday, August 26.
The Belgium international has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, and Los Blancos are still ready to make big offer to the Blues for them to lure Hazard to Spain.
But according to Hazard's father Thierry, he might never join Los Blancos after a previous deal broke down.
"I can't say why it did not go through and not because I don't want to, but because I don't know. Maybe they have a policy where they want to give the youth a chance.
''Eden will have one more year on his contract next summer, but he may never end up in Madrid,'' Thierry Hazard told Hiet Nieuwsblad according to Goal.
Chelsea have played two Premier League games this season, and Eden Hazard was superb in the Blues' win over London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Sports / Chelsea Manager Maurizio Sarri Believes He Did Well At Napoli by DammieYo(m): 4:38pm On Aug 25, 2018
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri believes he did well at Napoli
- He was responding to the criticism by Napoli president Aurelio
- Aurelio claimed that Sarri failed to win a title in three years despite being given everything
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has rejected the claims of Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis who explained that he failed while in charge of the Italian club for three years.
Napoli president Aurelio stated that Maurizio Sarri was given everything during his three year stay at the club, but he failed to win any title.
Twice Napoli finished second to Juventus under Sarri and De Laurentiis admitted he felt bitter his former manager could not deliver despite the investments made.
Maurizio Sarri who has won his first two Premier League games at Chelsea has now defended his record at Napoli.
‘'I don’t know but maybe he is talking about me because he is missing me.
''We didn’t win in Naples but we had the record number of points for the club and we qualified three times for the Champions League and it was unusual for Napoli.
‘'So I think we did very well. Nobody won in Italy except Juventus in the last seven years,'' Maurizio Sarri explained according to UK Metro.
Politics / Saraki: Stop Killings, Leave Politics – Northern Youths Warn Miyetti Allah by DammieYo(m): 12:52pm On Aug 25, 2018
The Arewa Youth for Peace and Security has asked the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association to focus on helping to stop the killings in the country, rather than getting involved in partisan politics.
National President, Salisu Magaji gave the advice in a statement issued on Thursday in reaction to threat against the Senate President, Bukola Saraki by an official of the association.
MACBAN Coordinator in Benue State, Alhaji Garus Gololo, had stated that Saraki would be forced out of office if he refused to resign his position immediately.
Gololo claimed that Saraki had created numerous problems for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting, Magaji said: “They should restrict themselves to the constitution of Miyetti Allah. Saraki is a Nigerian and he remains the President of the Nigerian Senate as elected by the senators.”
“Do they not know he was elected as the Senate President by senators and that only two thirds of the entire senators can remove him from office as stipulated by the constitution of Nigeria?
“We would like to think that this chairman of Miyetti Allah in Benue State does not understand the rudiments and essence of politics.
“So, let him concentrate on how to stop the killings in Benue State and desist henceforth, from talking about politics because Miyetti Allah is not a political group.
“He should desist from heating up an already fragile polity. Our laws are clear on how to remove a sitting Senate President.
“This attempt at resorting to unconstitutional means, as advocated in some quarters, does not mean well for our democracy and ultimately, the stability of our nation”.
Celebrities / How Nigeria’s Hospitality Industry Can Leverage The Entertainment Sector by DammieYo(m): 12:45pm On Aug 25, 2018
Hospitality has so many branches which include but not limited to music and film. To present a total hospitality package to tourists and visitors, these two must be aligned.
In Nigeria, you can arguably posit that there is yet to be a synergy between the hospitality and entertainment industry. This is a minus for both industries because the country is losing out from a major revenue loop. Although both sectors can exist independently, it will do the economy a whole lot of good if they synergise.
Let’s give more credence to this. According to Nigeria’s Hospitality Report, Travel and Tourism was directly responsible for 1.9% (N2.3 billion in actual numbers) of the country’s total GDP in 2017.
Meanwhile, a report in the Vanguard Newspaper reveals that the entertainment and creative sector contributed 2.3 per cent which was approximately N239 billion to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP in 2016. Definitely, the numbers would have increased in 2017.
You can only imagine how much the Nigerian government will earn if both industries are synergised. In fact, more than the above-referenced figures can be earned if the government and stakeholders explore the endless gains of the hospitality and entertainment industry.
Nigeria’s Entertainment Industry
The entertainment industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Unlike in the past when Nigerians have the knack for foreign films and music, the opposite is the case now. They have embraced Nigerian films and music. The likes of Rita Dominic, Genevieve Nnaji, Pete Edochie, Funke Akindele, Wizkid, Olamide, and Davido et al are known all over the world including African countries. They are also celebrated in the country. Hence, they are ‘tools’ that can be used to push the Nigerian hospitality industry.
Interestingly, the government has recognised that the creative industry has a huge goldmine and has supported the industry with several grants.
In 2013, the government then established N200 billion (or about $1.2 billion) intervention fund for the entertainment industry. Last year, the federal government again supported the Nigerian film industry with N420m grant.
The government support has largely boosted the entertainment industry. You can observe this in the quality of videos and songs emerging from the country.
The Hospitality industry
There has really been no reported grant or fund for the hospitality industry unlike what is happening in entertainment. This is probably why the industry is laid back.
When you talk about hospitality in Nigeria, we mostly look at it from the perspective of hotels and tourist attractions-which need government attention. It is beyond this. There is food, flight, festivals, culture, film, music and much more.
The industry has infinite opportunities that only being explored by a few stakeholders and government interest is limited.
Again, quoting the Nigeria Hospitality report, the number of direct jobs created by the sector peaked at 1.2 million compared to 651,000 in 2016 (1.6%), that’s 1.8% of total employment in the country. This is estimated to rise by 4.7% by end of 2018 to approximately 1.3 million jobs (1.8% of total employment). If the government could invest in the hospitality industry, these figures will definitely increase.
How the hospitality industry can leverage the entertainment sector
Since entertainment is getting more attention from the government, it can be said that the hospitality industry will have to leverage on entertainment for the purpose of business and earn more revenue.
This said it is not rocket science to synergise both sectors to earn more revenue.
Artists and producers must recognise that there are beautiful, pleasant and awesome Nigerian destinations where they can shoot their videos. For example, we have the Obudu Cattle Ranch, the Kajuru Castle, Olumirin Waterfalls and a host of others. They do not need to visit South Africa or Dubai to shoot their movies. The more these destinations get celebrity endorsements, the more Nigerians will be interested in checking out these destinations and of course, these destinations can earn more revenue.
Furthermore, hospitality stakeholders should partner with artists so that they can endorse their hospitality spots. They do not need to pay the artists cash but they can compensate them in kind. For example, whenever, they have shows or performances, they can provide a certain number of rooms to the artistes and his backroom staff. This will translate to more bookings for the hotel.
Finally, the Nigerian tourist spots need dire attention. So, these artists can organise shows and performances at these spots. The more performances at these tourists attractions, the more they feature prominently in the media. Since the media sets the agenda, the condition of these destinations will be known to the government. They can now, in turn, develop these destinations.
Conclusion
Entertainment and Hospitality can contribute more than it is currently doing to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product. That is if it is synergised. The government have a key role to play. They have to also give the grant to the hospitality sector. However, because hospitality is yet to have the influence or impact that entertainment has, the former can leverage on the later to more revenue.
Sports / Sport. Super Eagles Coach by DammieYo(m): 12:35pm On Aug 25, 2018
[b][/b]Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has expressed satisfaction with the movement of Nigerian players who changed clubs during the transfer window.
Gernot Rohr
Rohr was particularly pleased with Ahmed Musa who moved from English Premier League club, Leicester City to Saudi Arabia club, Al-Nassr in a 20 million pound deal, Troost Ekong departed from Turkey to Udinesse while Leon Balogun moved from German Bundesliga to EPL Club, Brighton.
Players like Moses Simon, Ogenekaro Etebo moved from Spain to English Championship side, Stoke City while Joel Obi moved to Chievo.
“Our goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho too is on the verge of a transfer to Secunda Liga side Elche. He is our number one keeper and he did very well at the World Cup. Other World Cup coaches appreciated his effort and that is good for the players because they will have regular playing time,” Rohr said.
He also informed the press of his effort to ensure Victor Osimhen secured a loan move away from Wolfsburg so that he would be playing regular football.
