I am always surprised about the principle of life... It is easier to make bad statement/causes and it would go a long way and even come faster than when you make a good statement/good utterance... why?

Roberto Di Matteo has been named as Chelsea's new manager after agreeing a two-year contract following a successful stint as interim first-team coach.

The Italian established himself as a Blues legend during his playing career at the Bridge, scoring the winning goal in both the 1997 and 2000 FA Cup Finals, as well as striking in the 1998 League Cup Final .

Having managed MK Dons and West Brom, he returned to west London last summer to work as assistant first-team coach under Andre Villas-Boas , but replaced the Portuguese tactician at the helm in March and led the club to glory in both the FA Cup and, most memorably, the Champions League .

"Even without the trophies I thought Robbie had done enough to get the job," former Blues full-back Scott Minto told us, while Marcel Desailly added: "He brought back the winning mentality that the club was looking for - and now Chelsea has the European trophy it deserved, finally."

Still basking from his victorious outing in the Champions League with Chelsea, Mikel said the launch of the Foundation tomorrow will hold simultaneously with a welcome party tagged ‘Welcome the Champion’ organised in his honour by members of the Lagos Business Community led by Prince Donatus Okonkwo.

According to Mikel, the foundation whose mission is to bring succour to the homeless and displaced people across the nation especially the ‘alamajiris’ would flag off in Jos, Plateau state capital.

“It was a dream for me when I was growing up. I know the way it feels, many are homeless and have no food to eat and it has always been in my mind to do something in this direction. I intend to make this a lifetime thing if it achieves the purpose. I have been in talks with other ‘NGOS” and have approached a number of corporate organisations and they all have given their support to this project”, Mikel said.

The executive governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Raji Fashola is expected to grace the occasion as a special guest of hounour.

we just learn that FG Distributes 14m Textbooks To Schools
can that increase the standard of our secondary education?

full story
The Federal Government on Thursday in Abuja began the distribution of 14 million textbooks and Library Resource Materials to primary and junior secondary schools across the country.

Primaries one and two received the textbooks for English Language, Mathematics, Social Studies and Basic Science and Technology, while the junior secondary schools received Library Resources Materials.

Speaking at the event, President Goodluck Jonathan urged stakeholders in the country’s education sector to support government at all levels in the provision of a solid foundation for quality education.

Jonathan, who was represented by Vice-President Namadi Sambo, said government was determined to deal with the challenges in Nigeria’s education sector.

“All the stakeholders in the book and instructional materials chain, including researchers, who produce the textbooks; pupils and teachers, who utilise these materials; as well as parents, who exercise tremendous influence on the educational process, must adequately understand the inextricable linkage between the three components.

“I, therefore, call on all stakeholders to support government at all levels, to ensure that our education sector, particularly the basic education sub-sector, provides the solid foundation for quality education in Nigeria.

“We must do all we can to ensure that textbooks and instructional materials bring added value to our educational process. There is no better opportunity to make this clarion call than this very important event.”

Jonathan said the distribution exercise was part of efforts by the government to encourage collaborators and stakeholders in the joint efforts to improve the quality of education in the country.

He said that the procurement of the items had been an important feature of the government’s basic education delivery system.

According to him, government’s goal has always been to strengthen complementary interventions in the provision of quality programmes that will pave the way for acceptable standards of basic education output.

The President expressed the hope that government’s current financial investment, and the ongoing structural, institutional and governance reforms in the sectors would reverse the declining trend in the quality of education.

In her remark, the Minister of Education, Prof Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, disclosed that N16.6 billion was spent in the provision of textbooks and library resource materials for pupils in schools across the country.

She said the distribution of the instructional materials was part of government’s four year strategic plan aimed at improving the quality of education.

Rufa’i, who stressed the importance of the instructional materials to the success of any education policy, tasked the Universal Basic Education Commission to track the movement and usage of the books.

Goodwill messages were delivered at the event by Chairman, House of Representative Committee on Education, Alhaji Farouk Lawan and Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Mr Uche Chukwu-Meriji.
