Chelsea Appoints New Manager After Frank Lampard Sack

Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new Chelsea Head Coach. He moves to Stamford Bridge following a two-and-a-half year spell at French champions Paris Saint-Germain, which came to an end last month.

He will be the first German to manage Chelsea and arrives having guided PSG to four major honours and the Champions League final during his time in the French capital.

Prior to that, he spent seven seasons coaching in the Bundesliga, first with Mainz, where he led them into the Europa League, and then a successful period with Borussia Dortmund where he won the German Cup.

At Chelsea, he will be reunited with Christian Pulisic and Thiago Silva who he coached during his spells in Dortmund and Paris respectively.

Tuchel, who has signed an 18-month contract with the possibility of an extension, said: ‘I would like to thank Chelsea FC for their confidence in me and my staff.

‘We all have the greatest respect for Frank Lampard’s work and the legacy he created at Chelsea. At the same time, I cannot wait to meet my new team and compete in the most exciting league in football. I am grateful to now be part of the Chelsea family - it feels amazing!’

Director Marina Granovskaia added: ‘It is never easy to change Head Coach in the middle of the season but we are very happy to secure one of Europe’s best coaches in Thomas Tuchel. There is still much to play for and much to achieve, this season and beyond. We welcome Thomas to the Club.’

Tuchel will take his first training session this evening and will be in the dugout for tomorrow’s Premier League game against Wolves.

Buhari appoints another South-South indigene to powerful position today

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has nominated Mr. Aghughu Arhotomhenla Adolphus for appointment as the Auditor-General of the Federation.

President has forwarded the letter of nomination to the Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan pursuant to Section 86(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

In a statement yesterday in Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters( Senate) Senator Babajide Omoworare said that Aghughu has been acting as the Auditor-General since the voluntary retirement of Mr. Anthony Mkpe Ayine from service upon attainment of the mandatory retirement age of 60 (sixty) years on 25th October 2020.

The Auditor-General designate hails from Edo State and, holds a master’s degree in economics; he is a Fellow of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria, Member of the Nigerian Institute of Management and Associate member of Chartered Institute of Taxation. He became an Auditor in the Office of the Auditor-General in 1992 and was promoted to the rank of Director of Audit in January 2016.

Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari had in December 2016, forwarded the name of Ayine to fill the post that was  held then by Florence Anyanwu in acting capacity.

Ayine’s name was then forwarded six months after the then former Auditor-General of the Federation, AuGF, Samuel Ukuru proceeded on terminal leave.

In a related development,  President Buhari has nominated Barrister Victor Chinemerem Muruako for appointment as Chairman for the Fiscal Responsibility Commission in accordance with provision of section 5(3) of the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007.

Barrister Muruako, a legal practitioner had served as the Secretary to the Fiscal Responsibility Commission and currently acts as the Chairman of the Commission. He hails from Imo State.

The nomination letter was forwarded to the Senate President, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan for confirmation by the Senate.

President Buhari Addresses Nation On 60th Independence Anniversary $ Full Speech...

President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday said the destination targeted by Nigeria’s founders was to build a great nation, united in hope and equal in opportunities

In his broadcast to the nation on the occasion of Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary, President Buhari noted that Nigeria was destined to be the biggest black nation on earth.

He added that the dream of the founding fathers was to build a nation united in hope and equal in opportunities, adding that he was committed to achieving that.

Read The Full Speech Below

Fellow Nigerians, I speak to you today as your President and fellow citizen on this epoch occasion of our country’s 60th independence Anniversary.

As President, I wish to renew my appreciation to Nigerians for entrusting me with your hopes and aspirations for a better and greater Nigeria.

Today, it is my unique privilege to re-commit myself to the service of this great country of great people with profound diversities and opportunities. We are bound by destiny to be the largest and greatest black nation on earth.

At this stage in our nationhood it is important that we reflect how we got here to enable us work TOGETHER to get to where we aspire to be as a strong indivisible nation, united in hope and equal in opportunity.

On October 1st 1960 when Prime Minister Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa received the constitutional instruments symbolizing Nigeria’s independence, he expressed his wish that having acquired our rightful status as an independent sovereign nation, history would record that the building of our nation proceeded at the wisest pace.

This optimism was anchored on the peaceful planning, full and open consultation and harmonious cooperation with the different groups which culminated in Nigeria emerging as a country without bitterness and bloodshed.

Our founding fathers understood the imperative of structuring a National identity using the power of the state and worked towards unification of Nigerians in a politically stable and viable entity.

That philosophy guided the foundation that was laid for our young nation of 45 million people with an urban population of approximately 7million occupying an area of 910,768 square km. These demographics led to development challenges for which major efforts were made to overcome.

Today, we grapple with multiple challenges with a population exceeding 200million occupying the same land mass but 52% residing in urban areas.

Sixty years of nationhood provides an opportunity to ask ourselves questions on the extent to which we have sustained the aspirations of our founding fathers. Where did we do the right things?Are we on course? If not where did we stray and how can we remedy and retrace our steps?

Upon attaining independence, Nigeria’s growth trajectory was anchored on policies and programmes that positively impacted on all sectors of the economy. However, this journey was cut short by the 30-months of civil war.

We came out of the civil war with a focus on reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation that enabled the country to put in place world class development structures and a strengthened public service that well served the government.

This positive trajectory continued with a return to democratic government which was truncated by another round of military rule.

For a cumulative 29 of our 60 years existence as a nation, we have been under military rule.

My summary of our journey so far as a nation is necessary to appropriately chart where we need to go and how to get there TOGETHER.

Today, I am aware that our economy along with every single economy in the world is in crisis. We still face security challenges in parts of the country, while our society suffers from a high loss of moral rectitude which is driven by unbridled craving for political control.

An underlying cause of most of the problems we have faced as a nation is our consistent harping on artificially contrived fault-lines that we have harboured and allowed unnecessarily to fester.

In addition, institutions such as civil service, police, the judiciary, the military all suffered from a general decline.

We need to begin a sincere process of national healing and this anniversary presents a genuine opportunity to eliminate old and outworn perceptions that are always put to test in the lie they always are.

The stereotype of thinking of ourselves as coming from one part of the country before seeing ourselves as Nigerians is a key starting point to project us on the road to our deserved nation’s evolution and integration.

To start this healing process, we are already blessed with the most important asset any nation requires for such – OUR PEOPLE – and this has manifested globally in the exploits of Nigerians in many fields.

It has been demonstrated time and time again that Nigerians in the diaspora frequently excel in science, technology, medicine, sports, arts and many other fields.

Similarly, the creativity, ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Nigerian at home has resulted in globally recognized endeavours.

I am convinced that if we pursue our aspirations TOGETHER we would be able to achieve whatever we desire. That informed our adopting the theme TOGETHER to mark this epochal event.

Together we can change our condition for the better and more importantly together we can do much more for ourselves and for our country.

I chose the path of self-reflection because this is what I do on a daily basis and I must confess that at most times, I always felt the need for a collective reflection as I know that the foundation for a solid future which this administration is laying can only be sustainable if there is a collective commitment by Nigerians.

Nigeria is not a country for Mr. President, any ruling or opposition party but a country for all of us and we must play our part, irrespective of challenges we face, to make this country what we desire.

To achieve this, we must focus our minds, TOGETHER as a people, on ways of resolving the identified critical challenges that underlie our present state.

These include:

a.Evolving and sustaining a democratic culture that leaves power in the hands of the people;

b.Supporting the enthronement of the rule of law, demanding accountability of elected representatives and contributing to good governance;

c.Increasing our commitment to peaceful co-existence in a peaceful, secure and united Nigeria;

d.Harnessing and Optimizing our tremendous human and natural resources to attain our goal of being in the top twenty economies of the world and in the process;

e.Lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years

f.Strengthening institutions to make them stronger in protecting National Interests; and

g.Imbibing tolerance in diversity.

I am a firm believer in transparent, free, fair and credible elections as has been demonstrated during my period as a democratically elected President.

The recent build-up and eventual outcome of the Edo State elections should encourage Nigerians that it is my commitment to bequeath to this country processes and procedures that would guarantee that the people’s votes count.

The problems with our electoral process are mainly human induced as desperate desire for power leads to desperate attempts to gain power and office.

Democracy, the world over and as I am pursuing in Nigeria, recognizes the power of the people. However, if some constituencies choose to bargain off their power, they should be prepared for denial of their rights.

This call is made more urgent if we realise that even after a transparent, free, fair and credible election, desperation leads to compromising the judiciary to upturn legitimate decisions of the people.

It is necessary to, therefore support the enthronement of the rule of law by avoiding actions which compromise the judiciary.

Fellow Nigerians, our history has shown that we are a people that have the capacity to live peacefully with one another.

As a government, we remain committed to our constitutional oath of securing the lives and properties of the citizenry. I, however, call on the citizenry to also support government by providing the necessary community level intelligence in addressing these challenges.

In moving forward together, it is important to strengthen our economy to provide sustainable means of livelihood for as many Nigerians as possible so as to eradicate absolute poverty from our midst.

I want to re-emphasize my dedication and commitment, a dedication and commitment that propelled my public service career and informed my quest to continually seek for an opportunity to improve the lives of Nigerians, set the country on the path of prosperity and lead the country to a better future.

This administration has been focused on rebuilding and laying the foundations for a sustainable Nigeria.

Of course, we have met and are still meeting the challenges inherent in any rebuilding initiative – more so that of a nation like Nigeria that has undergone avoidable levels of deprivation – but can be surmounted if we all work together.

I wish to re-iterate that our people and our spirit of excellence remains our most important asset.

In this wise, the need to return to our age-old ethical and high moral values would be necessary and this informed my launching of the National Ethics and Integrity Policy on Monday 28th September, 2020.

The policy would not implement itself and the first contact of the visibility of its implementation is the Public Service whose on-going reforms would be expected to be sustainable and give a radical re-direction in providing services to all Nigerians.

Fellow Nigerians, in addition to public health challenges of working to contain the spread of the Coronavirus, we have suffered a significant drop in our foreign exchange earnings and internal revenues due to 40 per cent drop in oil prices and steep drop in economic activities, leading to a 60 per cent drop in government revenue.

Our government is grappling with the dual challenge of saving lives and livelihoods in face of drastically reduced resources.

In this regard, sustaining the level of petroleum prices is no longer possible.

The government, since coming into office has recognized the economic argument for adjusting the price of petroleum. But the social argument about the knock-on effect of any adjustment weighed heavily with the government.

Accordingly, in the last 3 years,we have introduced unprecedented measures in support of the economy and to the weakest members of our society in the shape of;
a. Tradermoni
b. Farmermoni
c. School Feeding Programme
d. Job creation efforts
e. Agricultural intervention programmes

No government in the past did what we are doing with such scarce resources. We have managed to keep things going inspite of the disproportionate spending on security.

Those in the previous Governments from 1999 – 2015 who presided over the near destruction of the country have now the impudence to attempt to criticize our efforts.

In the circumstances, a responsible government must face realities and take tough decisions.

Petroleum prices in Nigeria are to be adjusted. We sell now at N161 per litre.

A comparison with our neighbours will illustrate the point;

a.Chad which is an oil producing country charges N362 per litre

b.Niger, also an oil producing country sells 1 litre at N346.

In Ghana, another oil producing country, petroleum pump price is N326 per litre.

Further afield, Egypt charges N211 per litre. Saudi Arabia charges N168 per litre. It makes no sense for oil to be cheaper in Nigeria than in Saudi Arabia.

Fellow Nigerians, to achieve the great country we desire, we need to solidify our strength, increase our commitment and encourage ourselves to do that which is right and proper even when no one is watching.

Fellow Nigerians, let us collectively resolve to continue our journey beyond the sixty years on the clear understanding that as a nation we are greater together than being smaller units of nationalities.
By the special grace of God we shall come through any transient challenges.

It is my sincere hope that by the end of this anniversary on September 30th 2021, we will all be proud of taking this individual and collective self-assessment for the progress of our great Nation.

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God Bless us all. Thank you.

Buhari to make difficult coronavirus decision this week

The president and state governors would agree on how best to restart the Nigerian economy this week.

President Muhammadu Buhari receiving updates from the Presidential Task Force on Coronavirus via teleconferencing.

After a teleconference with state governors this week, President Muhammadu Buhari would inform the nation about certain tough decisions on the economy.

Buhari imposed a two-week lockdown in the nation’s economic capital city of Lagos, the industrial state of Ogun and the capital city of Abuja on March 30, as one in a slew of measures to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease.

On April 13, the lockdowns were further extended by an additional 14 days.

Several state governments, like the northern commercial hub of Kano and the crude oil mining hub of Rivers, have also imposed lockdowns in their territories because of COVID-19.

All of which has left the Nigerian economy in dire straits, with a crash in the price of crude oil in the international market thrown into the mix as well.

Director General of the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, says the president will make some difficult decisions on COVID-19 containment next week.

“President Buhari will on Wednesday have a teleconference with the governors and there will be some difficult decisions to be made on how to restart the economy, especially on what to start and what not to start,” Ihekweazu was quoted as saying by The Nation.

The NCDC boss reportedly made the remarks during a courtesy call on Katsina Governor Aminu Masari.

He spoke as the governor demanded the establishment of a testing centre in Katsina to enable speedy confirmation of samples of suspected COVID-19 cases in the state.

Nigeria has currently confirmed 782 COVID-19 cases across 24 states and the capital city of Abuja.

Lockdown: Alleviate pains of Nigerians, NMA tasks FG

The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has called on the Federal Government to redouble its efforts towards alleviating the sufferings and pains of Nigerians, caused by the COVID-19 lockdown.

The NMA also asked the government to carry out mass testing of Nigerians to quicken flattening of the curve of spread of the disease.

President of NMA, Dr Francis Faduyile, who made the call yesterday, said though a national lockdown was necessary to help break the transmission of the highly infectious disease, adequate provision should be made to enable Nigerians stay at home and comply with other measures, such as social distancing.

Faduyile said: “Government needs to find a way to alleviate the pains and difficulties Nigerians are facing. It is good to lockdown because it is what will help slow transmission and it is what the NMA has advocated, but you cannot lockdown when you do not have other issues resolved.

“One of the issues that should be resolved is to get food for the people. You cannot lockdown successfully if there is no food for the people. The government should redouble activities so that the palliative gets round and people can stay indoors and get all the recommendations in place.”

Mass testing to prevent explosion of cases

Asserting that mass screening was necessary to quickly and effectively contain the disease, the NMA boss said:   “We need to do mass screening to know the real incidence of the disease, we must not miss it at this time. It might be very difficult for us to take care of Nigerians if we do not get this COVID-19 contained as early as possible and we have a large scale explosion.

“The result coming out in recent days does not show the true prevalence of the COVID-19 within the community. Before now, we have not been doing mass screening, the total number that we screened up till late last week was a little over 5,000. We need to embark on mass screening to know the true incidence of COVID-19 in the country.

‘’If we miss it at this time and cannot quickly get all those that are infected within the community isolated, and we begin to witness unfettered transmission within the community, then we are going to stay a long time before containing the outbreak.”

Treatment of COVID-19 patients in private hospitals

On the treatment of COVID-19 patients in private hospitals, he said NMA was against such private health facilities treating patients.

He said: “As it is, the stand is we don’t feel that private institutions should treat COVID-19. In areas that we have the public institutions treating COVID-19 patients, they have done some administrative engineering control system for them to be able to effectively do so.

“You just don’t treat COVID-19 in any of the General Hospitals, Federal Medical Centres or any teaching hospital, you must produce specialised services to do that and it is on this basis that COVID-19 is highly contagious. It is not just the expertise that matters, you need to put up a lot of stringent controls for you to be able to effectively   contain the disease.

‘’Nurses, lab attendants, cleaners, all need to be trained and there must be special means of waste disposal in place. These are things that must be in place before any of the private or public places can be certified to treat COVID-19.’’

He said the aftermath of the death of a highly placed presidency official in a private hospital forced the Lagos State government to declare that it had accredited a private hospital to treat COVID-19 patients after initial denial.

Faduyile added:  “This is putting the health system on two different levels. It is understandable that one set of ordinary Nigerians would go to hospital on one system and other Nigerians who are bigger and higher class citizens would go on another. That is unfortunate because if we take our public health system to be very good enough, anybody can go there.”

The NMA President debunked the notion that health workers were insured, saying: “It is not true that any health worker in this country has been given any form of insurance.

‘’There have been some health insurers that have offered to give insurance to health workers but we have not been insured at all. If we are having specialised health workers insured for N1 million or N2 million, it is grossly low for high calibre nurses and other health workers. So, let government come out with what they have and let us know who they have insured.”

Hazard allowance for doctors, others

On hazard allowance for doctors and other health workers, Faduyile said:  “For hazard allowance, nobody has discussed with us or called us. What we heard was that they were going to pay N30,000 or N50,000 but they have not given anybody as at today.

‘’Why we are not coming out to shout about money is because we have a pandemic on our hands and we need to take care of Nigerians, but we should not be taken for granted.”

7 BAD HABITS YOU MUST STOP IF YOU’RE A STUDENT

The student or schooling stage of life is very important. It is your youthful stage, and a time when you can either shape or destroy your life depending on the habits you adopt.
There are some habits a lot of youths have adopted either by association or learning, which aren’t good and can ruin one’s life if not stopped. Here are some of them…
LACK OF CONFIDENCE
There are a lot of young people who have confidence problem. They do not believe in themselves, and always see themselves as not good enough. The truth about not having confidence is that it somehow always reflects in your dealings, and attracts the same from people around you. If you lack confidence, no one will believe in you, and you’re most likely to be boxed into corners by more confident people. Self-belief is key to achieving and unlocking greatness.
GULLIBILITY
Every human being should have a mind of their own. It is okay to consider other people’s opinions, but that doesn’t mean you should fall for them easily without careful thought, or even when they’re not healthy for you. Gullible people fail easily because they’re easily deceived. You must have a mind of your own if you intend to move forward in life.
SELF COMPARISONS TO OTHERS
Comparing yourself to others can be healthy in the sense that it can drive you to do better, but it can also be devastating and depressing. You cannot compare yourself to a fraudulent person driving a fancy car when you do a legitimate job. There’s no connection there. When you do that, you only cause yourself so much unnecessary worry. You must understand that everyone has their clock in life. Allow yours direct you.
RUNNING FROM PROBLEMS
The more you run from problems, the more they pile up, and wait for when you’re ready. The only problems you must avoid are only those you’re not obliged to do. Otherwise, learn to take challenges head on. If anything, that would make you stronger, and prepare you for the journey ahead.
SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH NEGATIVE PEOPLE
Negativity breeds negativity. If you want to experience positive vibes, you can only keep those kind of people around you. Avoid naysayers. Avoid people who see no right in something good. Avoid people who don’t think like you. They are of no use to your cause, and would only end up bringing you down.
FOCUSING MORE ON YOUR FLAWS
It’s not a bad habit to try to improve on your flaws, however, when you overdo it, it can overshadow your strengths which means you end up feeling more depressed than happy enough to pursue your strengths and channel them into something positive.
LACK OF CURIOSITY
Curiosity they say kills the cat, but it can also save it. Curious people know and learn so much, which is vital to their success and progress in life. As you know, ‘Knowledge is power.’

TOP 10 UNTOLD SECRETS OF BECOMING A FIRST CLASS STUDENT

Being a first class student is the hope and dream of everyone who goes to a tertiary institute, getting a first class honour in any university is not an easy tasks, there are some challenges you face. 

The only question is, do you have the power to overcome them and reach that desired goal.

We all want first-class honour not only because of the lucrative jobs that comes with it, but the confidence and feeling of achievements that comes with graduating with best marks.

Here are top 10 secrets of what you should do to get first class

1: A personal relationship with God
In this area God is number one, in the sense that no matter how you read, attend lectures, burn night candles, if God is not there, just forget about it.

Always put God in the front line when faced with any kind of challenge.

2: Stay focused
Staying focused is essential in achieving your aim, you may be faced with different kind of distractions from friends but you have to stay determined.

Always try to keep the dream alive.

3: Stay ahead of others
Always try to read ahead, be ahead of the normal class lectures, be ahead of the lecturers, ahead of your mates.

4: Attend classes
Making first-class honour your aim, you shouldn't take this point lightly, because this is the main reason of going to school.

Missing lectures for no reason shows lack of seriousness and taking your education with levity hands, which are not part of the characteristics of a first-class student.

5: Associate with serious people
This is very important, because your association matters a lot, making friends who are serious brings even more will to succeed.

But on the other hand, associating with  friends who are not serious make you to be like them one day.

There is a saying that, show me your friend and I will tell you whom you are.

6: Find help if needed
Always ask serious friends, lecturer, about anything that may seem to confuse you, because you can never know everything at a time.

If you don't understand any course or assignment, feel free to approach any lecturer or senior who knows more than you do, that is also a way of gaining additional knowledge.

7: Have a personal interest in your course
Most people fail to get first-class because at the beginning they didn't have interest in the course that they were given.

If you don't develop interest in your course, you definitely will not enjoy it, and when you don't enjoy it studying for tests and examination becomes ineffective.

8: Have a study group or reading partner
The truth is that no one is an island of knowledge, no matter how brilliant you are, they are some more intelligent than you.
All you have to do is find those people make friends with them, create a study group for sharing knowledge.

Find partners who can motivate and challenge you into action, engage yourself in competition with them, but a healthy one.

9: Always try to know many thing
A character of a first class student is the hunger for knowledge, they always try to learn new things, they take time to make researches a gain clearer knowledge of a particular course.

This gives them a broad understanding and make them perform excellently well in all tests and exams.

10: Make Relationship a no go area
It is very rare or impossible to see a first-class graduate having a boyfriend or girlfriend in school, that serves as the maximum distraction a student can get during schooling.

Relationship always attract emotions, which always disorganize a student and leads to low grade and poor student performance

Always make studying your primary reason of going to school.
