Mourinho is a title winning coach; he is brilliant and good. When Mourinho came to the English League for the first time, his style of play and drive revolutionized and changed the normal sport that was obtained in the league. He won the English title twice and he almost led the Chelsea team to win the champions league title.
Guardiola is a brilliant young coach who won good titles while he was at Barcelona, and he is still won some at Bayern Munich. Guardiola ruled the Spanish League with his boys before the coming of Mourinho, Mourinho couldn’t do much to bring down Guardiola’s influence in the league. These two coaches found it difficult to stay together and compete in the same league. There was pride, ego and stiff competition between these two.
There is a rumor circulating in the media that the two coaches will coach in the English League. The question now is how will the face of English League be if this rumor turns out to be true? The attacking and vicious play of Mourinho, and the passing-the-ball-around style of Guardiola, whose team and style of play will rule the English League?

THanks bro, I Can write politics, news and entertainment. E-mail: obrienchinwe@gmail.com.

I am an undergard student studying English and LIterary Studies. I have financial problem in school. I am a writer. I have sought part-time writing jobs, but none seems to give me the time I want. If anyone has any idea of the best writing job that will suit me should please say.

Nigerians have prayed for the end of corruption in the country the umpteenth time. At churches, at mosques, in buses, in offices, Nigerians have lifted their hands up in the air and prayed for the end of corruption in the country. Every new regime in the country had always promised to fight corruption, but none did. Most Nigerians believe that the immediate past regime romanced corruption and nearly tore this country into sheds.

Now, there is a president who is at least willing to fight corruption. Alas! Some people term the fight “witch hunt”. It can be amusing, are the corrupt ones witches and wizards? Although, no one can be certified as corrupt until when proven, however, some Nigerians have come out criticizing the regime for witch hunting. They have made some allegations that the government is hunting the opposition only. The supporters of the government have countered the allegations, stating that only the members of the opposition party were in the government in the last administration, but what of the state governments managed by the former opposition party and where was the source of the campaign money that brought the party into power? Remember, the president had said he borrowed the money for the nomination form.

What of the case of Saraki? No one hears about that these days, the issue has been swept under the carpet. The yam eaters of Dasuki’s yam are not only in the opposition party, they are also in the ruling party; would those in the ruling party be prosecuted? Why is the government not probing the regimes beyond the immediate past regime? Is there a deal? Is this government really ready to fight corruption?

Even if it is the witch hunting of the opposition, do you think it is better this way? Governments in power will not be corrupt because of the scare of the probe of the next government. Don’t you think it is better? Then, corruption will be wiped out and the country will be better. What do you think of this: sincere fight or witch hunt?

Ben Carson is a successful American neurosurgeon. He is aged 64. He was born in Michigan, and he is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Michigan. He has carried out important brain surgeries with different teams at John Hopkins Hospital, Maryland. He declared his interest for the seat of the president of the United States on 4th of May, 2015. He wants to run for the prized seat on the platform of the Republican Party.

Ben Carson is a popular and successful doctor. He is an ardent Christian. He was raised by his single mother. As a child, Carson’s family barely had enough to meet their needs. His inspiring and interesting memoirs cum motivational books have inspired and thrilled people of all cultures. His Gifted Hands is one of his numerous books where he relays the story of his trials, pains and his success. He is respected around the world and most of his views are palatable with the views of the masses. Ben Carson and his wife sponsors a scholarship for American students, they believe and work for the improvement of education in America. But how do you see him securing the presidential ticket of the Republican Party?

The opinion polls of the party have not showed that he is in a bad spot. People are conversant with his views about running the American government. But isn’t he too religiously inclined to rule America? Has American not outgrown this belief that God makes all things possible with faith? He can be pardoned, though, because, he attends the Seventh Day Adventist where the members still follow these archaic religious doctrines. He was once quoted making disparaging comments about same-sex marriage and relationship, for him, it is not real marriage. He has since withdrawn his comments.

He has condemned Obama’s health-care initiative, and he has also made several political and foreign policy blunders. Although there is no controversy around him, his religious stance and his ignorance of foreign and governmental policies put him behind other contestants for the ticket. However, some of his views appeal to the people who would likely vote for him.

Jeb Bush is an American businessman and a politician. He has served as the governor of Florida. He is the brother of the former president of US and also the son of the former president of US. He is aged 62. He is of the Bush family. He declared his interest for the seat of the president on June 15, 2015.
Jeb Bush seeks his election into the seat of the US President through the Republican Party. After acquisition of his college degree, he had worked in several organizations and he has even owned some business organizations himself. He has investment in different sectors of the economy. He is well-to-do, and he can confidently fund his presidential campaign.
He campaigned widely for his father when his father contested and won the seat of the US President. He served in some capacity during his father’s reign as the president. He had contested for the seat of the governor of Florida, but he had lost. He contested again and won it. He served two terms as the governor of Florida. He performed well in all sectors as the governor of Florida.
Presently, he wants to contest for the seat of the US President on the platform of the Republican Party. Is it feasible that he would win the primary ticket of the Republican Party? Well, it is feasible. With his experience with the party, and his father’s and brother’s stake in the party, he might likely be the winner of the party’s ticket for the presidency.
Jeb Bush’s experience and relation with the party, and coupled with his father’s and brother’s influence, he might win the ticket. And do not forget also that he has enough money to sponsor his campaign; he is not deterred and frightened by Trump’s stinking money. His popularity, his good administrative record, his wealth and the influence of the former two US Presidents will make him the likely Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party.

There is no doubt that corruption is one of the problems haunting the Giant of Africa called Nigeria. And for those who might not understand what this corruption really is, we will have to explain the term. According to Word Web, “corruption is lack of integrity or honesty (especially susceptibility to bribery); use of a position of trust for dishonest gain”.
It is widely agreed that corruption subverts justice, hampers economic growth and as well as destroys trust. However, this evil called corruption has proven too strong for the Nigerian government and her people to conquer. It has refused to die and wither away. What is the cause of its stubbornness?
One of the causes of its refusal to die is that Nigerians support and even breed corruption. Notwithstanding that many a times, fingers are being pointed to the crop of people in power as the corrupt ones; many of the followers are also corrupt in their dealings and in their minds. Even the energetic youths who are the future leaders of this country, who should be the ones fighting this problem in order to pave way for their own better future fight tooth and nail to defend corrupt leaders.
It is only in Nigeria that people own thieves in the broad daylight. A youth with promising future will exert his energy defending a proven thief; after all, he is his person and so should not be prosecuted. Well, my own theory is that as far as the old men and women in power still steals our commonwealth and the youths defends them, corruption will never be conquered. That’s my take.

Look at the fool that so hate immigrants; the community he's part of.

The issue is that no white man who hails from America, they are all immigrants, but his hatred for African and Mexican immigrants is what I cannot explain.

Jose Mourinho recently left the club where he claimed he was the “special one”. For football lovers and the fans of the clubs that play in English Premier League, Jose Mourinho is a familiar name. This name belongs to a title winning Portuguese coach who has coached more than three clubs in different leagues. He has two champions league to his name. He has won the Spanish, English and Portuguese league cups. He has coached the best teams; from Porto to Chelsea to Inter Milan to Real Madrid and so on.
He is a good coach who knows his worth and his goals. However, in the recent times, misfortunes have befallen him. Misfortunes seemed to be caused by human errors instead of divine errors--one might say divine errors. He had quit Real Madrid because he had problem with the players and the management. Towards the end of his stay in Real Madrid, the club performed badly and they did not carry any title. Now, he quit Chelsea, or perhaps, they kicked him out because he almost took them into the relegation zone.
His recent woes in Chelsea began at the onset of the season when Chelsea began to loose and draw matches like the players had all lost their strength. Then, there was a problem about the doctor. Mourinho as usual had tongue-lashed her as he always does, decorating it with insult and with a rub of pride. After then, the players have played like chickens. Mourinho blames them often for the club’s woes, but no one knows who is responsible.
Finally, Chelsea had to save itself from its collapse; Mourinho had to be shown the door. What do you think? Do you think Mourinho is the cause of his own problem because of the explosives that often fall off from his mouth or do you think he was betrayed?

Donald Trump, an American business magnate announced his candidacy for the president United States of America in the 2016 elections on June, 2015. Prior to this time, there had been speculations that he might run for the seat of the president of the US.
Donald Trump is an American businessman aged 69. He is a wealthy and popular businessman, a TV personality and a politician. He is descended from a German immigrant, and has Scottish ancestry from the maternal side. He was born in New York. He was brought up in a wealthy home, and he even has a degree in Economics. He has investments in different sectors; a large chunk of his investments are in real estate. He is into entertainment, sports and a whole lot of other businesses.
Donald Trump has not really had it the easy way all the time; he has faced some challenges like every other human. There was a time in the 1980s and 1990s that he went bankrupt and had to sell some investments and properties. Nevertheless, he bounced back from his challenges and today, his net worth is more than 3 billion dollars.
Prior to the time he declared interest to run for the seat of the president, there had been speculations that Donald Trump would contest for the seat of the president. A poll had been conducted; Donald Trump was voted as one of the ten people Americans adore. Donald Trump’s popularity is an undeniable fact. However, since he declared his interest for the prized seat, he had come under criticism from all corners because of his stance on some delicate issues. These issues are about American’s immigration and foreign policy, people’s culture and religion. He had suggested that Muslims should be banned from entering the US, and he had made a suggestion about stricter measure being adopted to fight illegal immigration. Although his opinion has not made him lose out of the race for the presidential ticket of the Republican Party, all the same, the general opinion of his candidature is moving on to the bad side. His business associates and friends have criticized him, and some have even cut the link they had with him.
Even if the Republicans choose him over the other candidates in race for the presidential ticket, what will be his chance to win the US Presidential election? And what do most people think of him?
He might not likely win this race because the public opinion about his candidature is mostly negative. Though, the working class Americans and a bigger percentage of Republicans seem to be of the same view with him, most Americans and even non-Americans do not respect his views on these issues. He has often taken controversial stance on these issues which is somewhat not good for someone running for the world most powerful job.
He is rich and popular, but his unguarded statements will certainly ruin his bid, damage his reputation and make him waste his campaign money. His perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit is good for the country; it will move the country to another height. Nevertheless, a bad foreign policy of a nation can ruin a nation, because no nation can survive alone. This might impede the future growth of the great America. Vote Wisely!

Citrus is a genus comprising some 16 species of trees. The more known species are Lime, Lemon, Grape and Tangerine. Lemon has many medicinal properties. The leaf is rich in aromatic essence: limonene and linadol. The rind contains 0.5% essential oil, which comprises limonene, coumarines and flavonoids. The juice contains Vitamin B1, B2 and C, flavonoids and organic acids.
A lot of research has been done on this plant. Its medicinal properties are scientifically proven and recognized. The parts of this lemon tree have their different curative functions which we discussed below:
The Lemon Leaves:
Lemon leaves are sedative and antispasmodic. Those who suffer from insomnia, nervousness and palpitation should soak five to seven leaves in a teacup of hot water and allow it to infuse for 15 minutes. The dosage is one cup twice daily.
The Fruit Rind:
Lemon rind is good remedy for lack of appetite, indigestion, constipation and typhoid fever and it is a good worm expellant. Add the rind of 10 lemons to four liters of water and bring to boil. Take a cup thrice daily.
The Juice:
Lemon Juice is an excellent remedy for scurvy, a disease caused by lack of Vitamin C. Drink half a glass of lemon juice twice daily. You may sweeten it with honey if you wish. For indigestion, mix half a glass of lemon juice with half a glass of water and drink daily. This stimulates the activities of the digestive organs and strengthens the system.
In the subsequent articles we will write more about the wonders of Lemon. Stay healthy always.

If you are thinking that you would like your own free range snail farm in the back yard here are a few tips to get you on your way.
In Nigeria, few people have the knowledge of the benefits of snail farming. Nigeria has the biggest of all world snails and these snails serve as special delicacies in the meal of Nigerians of different ethnic group. This makes snail farming lucrative. If one wants to be a successful snail farmer and make good profits from it, these steps below can help the individual.
1) Snails adapt well to cool and warm climates with temperature ranges from 10°C to a maximum of 30°C
2) It is important to have a farming area that is as large as possible and to limit snail numbers accordingly to discourage overcrowding.
3) A large, free range farming area results in higher production rates, lower mortality, a more ethical and less stressful environment resulting in a better quality of snails
4) Once you have constructed a galvanized corrugated iron perimeter fence it is important to install 5) mesh holding pens made from open weave shade cloth. Robyn recommends a double layered cloth (or flaps) to prevent the snails escaping

5) A true organic free range snail farm should only use natural fertilizers.
6) A good irrigation system is crucial for maintaining a healthy food source and ensures the snails are kept active for eating, breeding and growing
7) Snails need a diet rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Robyn’s snails especially like to forage on brassicas, kale and canola but they also enjoy wild turnip, hybrid turnip, dandelion clover and silver beet amongst others.

It’s crucial to “purge” the snails before consumption. This involves feeding them a combination of organic unprocessed bran and/or wheat germ for 2 days in a controlled environment
9) After purging for 7 days the snail’s digestive systems are clear of dirt and grit and they are ready to be consumed.

Water therapy is the scientific method of drinking water to promote health and bring healing. The method is this: When you wake up in the morning, drink at least two cups of water. This is better done as you wake up, even after brushing your teeth. During the course of the day, drink as much as you can, but never while eating.
You should drink water at least one hour before or after meals, never during meal. The reason is that the body produces its own enzymes for digesting any food taken. Now, drinking while eating leads to a dilution of these enzymes, making them to lose their concentration. The safest water comes from the springs. Before going to bed at night, you should drink two or three cups of water.
Deadly cases of diabetes, cancer, hypertension, arthritis, stroke and other illnesses have been reversed through water therapy. Drink a cup of water or two as you rise daily and drink a cup of water or two as you retire for the day. Water aids digestion and washes away impurities and some foreign bodies from the body system Stay Healthy!

Brittany Lauren Maynard was twenty-nine-year old when she died in a self-inflicted death. She was an American who had a university degree and loved travelling; she was married and had a good life before death came knocking at her door. She ended her own life when it was concluded that she didn’t have much time to live on the earth. She became popular before her death and became an advocate for the legalization of aid in dying.
Many people and organizations criticized her decision and wrote to her asking her to rescind the decision; however, she didn’t listen to these pleas. Instead, she aided her own death by allowing the medical professionals to take her own life, and she died in the midst of her loved ones. How unique this kind of death is right? Well, this type of death is known as Euthanasia.
Euthanasia as a word is etymologically taken from the Greek language, and this word means “good death”. Can there be any term like “good death”? Well, in Africa, there is nothing good about death. According to the Word Web, Euthanasia is the act of killing someone painlessly (especially someone suffering from an incurable illness). To people of different psychology, euthanasia can be defined as bad, and to some, it is good.
Back to Brittany Lauren Maynard story. She was a young girl with a bright future ahead. However, her dream was frustrated by the coming of the dreaded and incurable cancerous disease: brain tumor. This brain tumor caused her unbearable pain and the doctors predicted that she didn’t have much time to live. You know how spooky this can be: Really Spooky! She couldn’t bear this any longer. So, surrounded by her loved ones, she decided to commit assisted suicide.
According to many religious organizations, she has committed a big sin; according to human rights activists, she is not supposed to take her own life. To her mother and her loved ones, she took the best decision. In most countries, euthanasia as part of the process of modern day medicine is not legal, but in some cases, euthanasia is necessary, like the one of Brittany.
Euthanasia is necessary when a patient undergoes series of deadly pains that are so unbearable; for instance, a patient who can neither feed, urinate or drink. In these cases, euthanasia is necessary to avoid a traumatic experience for the loved ones of the patient and to lessen the pains of the patient, and also to avoid wastage of resources. Live is vital, but some lives leave scars on the living, which of course cannot be easily healed.

If a country has been messed up by a group of people for over 16 years & we are stupidly expecting things to turn around in less than a year,that means we are all being unrealistic & just a bunch of pessimistic thinkers.All these problems being talked about today started years ago by successive governments & the worst problems began from 1999 & we know those that were ruling us then till this year.Let us make one thing clear,as in very clear,crude oil sells for less than $50 a barrel now,our economy over the years has been solely dependant on oil,common what miracle are we expecting to automatically have economic boost in the country at this time?Our economy would be in decline until we diversify & that is a process ,not just we sit down & start lamenting & fooling ourselves on social media & all.I have not seen people come up with constructive blueprints, publish articles on what could be done to make the country move forward,not talking with reference to idiots that have messed the country up for years making them feel like saints,with the crop of ministers we have in place now ,it is obvious that things should get better & policies put in place appropriately. We should all know that the country cannot afford to fail now & we have someone who sincerely has the interest of the nation at hand,so let's just be constructive in our criticisms & hope for the best. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

You have been turned to a slowpoke follower of PMB. What has these got to do with his failure in the past months as president? Every new government will always blame the last government for failure in Nigeria. Even if the country has so been destroyed, we should have seen some signs of repair now, but we have not seen none.

He promised to fight BH, but now, BH is more stronger now. He promised to hit the ground running immediately, he wasted five months looking for corrupt ministers.

Sir, please critic him with your head and not with your heart. It is obvious that you are delusional.

Come pluck the udala @ my backyard and tell me that it belongs to nobody kam jiri egbe ntum (den gun) duna gi mmuo.

Well, no one will pluck it anyway, but according to the post it said majority and not all...

For a long time, since I was a child, Nigerians call a fruit with brown back, white juice and brown seeds the African apple. In my linguistic acquisition, I learnt that this African fruit is called Udala in my native language. As I had contact with the Yoruba language, I learnt that it is called agbalumo; I don’t know if I got the spelling right. Well, this fruit can only be seen in Africa.
This fruit is the product of a giant tree which usually grows near village squares in Igbo land. No one owns the tree, majority of the udala trees are not owned by anybody, but they are owned by everybody—the entire village. No one has the knowledge of the planter of these trees or how it was planted; however, the mystery behind it is how it usually grows near village squares. And because it is not owned by anybody, anyone can pick the fruit when it falls and eat it.
The myth surrounding the existence of this tree is that it is a tree for children and for spirit children. What this means is that it is near the foot of this tree that children converge to play and watch and wait patiently for a fruit to fall from the tree. So, therefore, no man or woman or child is allowed to climb this tree. Every member of the community must be patient enough to allow a fruit fall before picking it up: there should be no plucking of any sort.
It is also believed that this tree has spirit children who hang and live on the tree; barren women go to these trees to sit down under tree and wait for one of the good spirit children to come to them. So, this tree gives good children.
Aside the myth, the fruit of this tree is delicious, but it slaps like the hand of a human on the cheek when it is not yet ripe or when it is sour. It gives vitamins and the necessary nutrients gotten from a fruit. Up to this day, no one climbs the udala tree or plucks the fruit in Igbo land.

Russia and Turkey are part of the Caucasian race. They are both situated near the continent of Europe, and they have shared historical events. Russia is bigger and more relevant in the international community than Turkey. These two countries had worked together and had agreed on the same issues in their relation, but they have also differed in some issues.
Slavic (Russian) and Turkic (Turkish) people have been in contact for hundred of years. The Turks were separated from Russia by the Black Sea and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to the northwest and the Caucasus Mountains to the East. The Turks founded the Ottoman Empire and began to expand, the Russian founded the Russian Empire also and they also expanded.
These two empires were on conflicting sides on some issues, most at times these issues were religious issues. They had disagreements and there was lack of trust between the two empires. This disagreement culminated to the two sides taking conflicting parts in the event of the First World War.
After the First World War, the relation between these two countries began to get better; by this time, Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire no longer existed. Turkey and Russia were now countries. Peace and international relation treaty was signed between the two countries.
During the Second World War, Turkey was neutral, and so it didn’t lend its support to any country; however, that Turkey allowed the Germans’ military passage through its territory angered the Russian government. The West supported Turkey’s stance on some issues and they were glad that Turkey was not a communist nation or cajoled into being one by Russia. Through the period of the Cold and Korean Wars, Turkey and Russia were in different camps.
After the Cold War, the relation between these two countries has not been bad or strained. Some tasty economic deals were signed by the two countries. However, on the 24th of November, 2015, Turkish F-16 shot down a Russian Su-24 during an airspace dispute close to Turkish-Syrian border. The Russian government has strongly condemned the actions of the Turkish government, and the Russian government says that this will strain the relationship of the two countries. The Turkish government has not apologized. The Russian government accuses Turkey of its complexity in the crisis caused by ISIS. And this recent event might shatter the good relationship that had soared in the recent years between these two countries.
