JOSE MOURINHO TO TOTTENHAM

-


Getty/The Portuguese is back in the Premier League following his sacking by Manchester United in December 2018 as he replaces Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Jose Mourinho as their new manager on a contract that runs until 2023. 
The announcement comes less than a day afterMauricio Pochettino was sacked by the club following a poor start to the 2019-20 season. 
Spurs currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League table having collected just three wins from their first 12 league games, while they also suffered a 7-2 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League. 
Mourinho has been out of management since December 2018 when he was dismissed byManchester United and the three-time Premier League winner has explained why he decided to take the Spurs job.
"I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters," Mourinho said in a club statement.  

"The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."
The 56-year-old is no stranger to London having spent over five years at Stamford Bridge in charge of Chelsea where he won the domestic title three times across two separate stints. 
And Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has stressed that Mourinho's strong track record of silverware made him the ideal choice to replace Pochettino, who had been at the helm since 2014. 

"In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football," Levy said.
"He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached.
"We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room."
Along with his Premier League success, Mourinho has also won the Champions League twice, with Porto and Inter respectively.
Despite his dismissal from Manchester United in December 2018, Mourinho still managed to win the Europa League and Carabao Cup during his two-and-a-half-year spell with the Red Devils.
The former Real Madrid manager's first match as Spurs boss will see him face West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday, while it's expected the Portuguese will watch over his first training session later on Wednesday.

LETTER TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS

LETTER TO YOUTH Keep your Degree in a safe custody for future opportunity, and engage in entrepreneur skills, otherwise you will die poor. Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000. The landlord then demands for his N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus will demand for N300 going to and from work and relatives get another N2,500. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances. The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, m

TITANIC II SETS TO SAIL IN 2022

Titanic II is happening, and we don't mean a sequel to the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. We're talking about a brand new, very real ship from Australian company Blue Star Line which is set to sail on its maiden voyage in 2022. In fact to pay tribute to the original ship, Titanic II will be sailing on the same route as the liner, which famously sank back in 1912 after crashing into an iceberg during its maiden voyage between Southampton and New York City. Of course this replica will have much more up-to-date safety features and navigation technology - although it's inspired by the infamous liner, it will boast modern day amenities and features. However, there will be plenty of nods to Titanic itself, from the layout and interiors, with designs inspired by the iconic ship - including a near identical version of the ship's grand staircase. Titanic II is expected to carry approximately 2,400 passengers as well as
