Arsenal  VERSUS Chelsea Football Club. 4:30PM - WAT. MATCH DAY 2.

 



Red and Blue are two distinctive colours, 💙❤ but this can not said of two London clubs, of which one is in flying form at the moment as the other struggle to find its rhythm for the past decades.


Mikel Arteta 's struggling Arsenal take on the high flying Thomas Tuchel 's Chelsea Football Club on Sunday evening, 4:30pm WAT, in London. The age long rivalry of who owns London will be rebirth at the Emirates stadium 🏟  in the London Derby. 


Arsenal have had a frustrating transfer window so far, only being able to get a £50m Ben White deal over the line. To add more salt to already soured transfer market, Brendfort returned to life in Premier League after 75 years absence, saw them trashed the Gunners in the opening weekend of the 2021/2022 season, leaving Mikel Arteta with a mouth full of frustration to chew. 


If they are to better the eight place finish last season, Mikel Arteta's men must pick themselves up with a win over the European champions at the Emirate. 


At the other hand, Thomas Tuchel seems to be enjoying the career of his life after frustrating spells at Borussia Dortmund and PSG - Paris Saint-Germain respectively.  His high flying Chelsea side wrapped up the 2020/2021 season by beating the odd to the European crown (UEFA Champions League) in Porto. 


To start up the new season, the blues have pulled every strings in the right direction.  A shot out win over Villareal in Windsor Park in Belfast to lift the UEFA  Super Cup, a resounding 3 - 0 win over Crystal Palace Football Club on the opening weekend of the league season, to the recent confirmation of their former want-away, striker, Romelu Lukaku as their new number 9, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea is certainly a title contender this season, going by the afore. 


While it will be wrong to write off Mikel Arteta's men with the 2 - 0 defeat to Brenfort going into Sunday's mouthwatering contest, the London derby will be seen Arteta's preparedness to fight for a top four finish this season.


Though Thomas Tuchel will be going into Sunday encounter as the favourite but the pressure to deliver will certainly be  there especially with the addition of Romelu Lukaku into the ranks.


By 4:30pm - WAT on Sunday, 22nd August 2021, watch out for every tackle, whistle and the roaring of the fans at the Emirates stadium 🏟 as Arsenal take on Chelsea in a London Derby. 


Football is back!

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched  Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill
Social Media: Are we swallowed by it? It is alarming yet no longer news the rate of social media usage since the turn of the millennium. Social Media has become a tool in nearly every 9/ 10 persons we meet everyday of our lives. In fact it is estimated that youth particularly engaged in social Media taking 8/9 hours a day out of the 24hrs. Without doubt, social media has come to enhance and add more meaning to our daily life. Since the advent of social media in the early part of the millennium, the rate people get involve in these wonderful platforms keep increasing on a daily basis.

With the number of people flooding the Social media on per second basis, one will wonder if these technology has any bad effect at all. Millions of people use social media as it is the trend now,

JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.

  The story. The atmosphere was heavy, that of apprehension and uncertainty as Iquo stared at the open space leading into the compound. It was around 10:33pm that evening.  A time in Ikot Ekim community when every household had put off their lamps and retired to bed. The nocturnal sound of night creatures made the night even more looming and intense.  Nsek has never stayed out so late no matter how fierce any argument with his wife was. In their 24 years of marriage, no matter the nature of the fights Iquo has had with her husband he will always come back home to rest in his hut.  As time ticked away, she stared at the open compound, struggling to fend off the call of nature with the hope her husband would appear at the far end of the compound.  Using her hand to support her chin, she wondered how things could change so fast. Her husband Nsek was no longer the man she married. He picked fights at every little argument and would end the night with curses, accusing Iquo of turning his on
