What rebuild? Why Liverpool might struggle this season


The season has begun, and the matches are fast approaching. Liverpool's proven itself to be the best in terms of quality, aggression, precision finishing and above all that it can compete with Manchester City. organization.

Witnessing the Reds comeback wins against Newcastle United with a man down and their excellent display against Bournemouth is fair to say Liverpool will be closet rivals to Manchester City.

In some quotas it is true, but false in the calculation of risk. Is this season's Liverpool squad really deep enough to win a championship? They're not. No, they're not. 

If Mac Alister and Dominik Szoboszlai were to get hurt, which would rule them out for two or three months, the midfield could be revamped, but what happens? The Reds will lose the speed, aggression, confrontationality, creativity and goal threat they offer in an instant.

 No doubt, Gravabech and Endo can offer some respite in attack and defense, but they're not title winning players. On defense, there's not a sufficient replacement in the left back post for Liverpool. 

If Trent Alexander Arnold and Joe Gomez were to miss several months, it would pose an issue for the position of Right Back. It's going to expose Liverpool in a big way. In this context, Liverpool is only four players away from falling into the abyss.

Nobody wants that to see that happen but by judging the present squad it's safe to say the Reds might struggle this season if Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team fail to sign more players in the January transfer window to offer them the needed buffer required to challenge Manchester City to the Premier League title and others.

Educational system in Nigeria is dangerous: Why lectures are responsible for 70% of adult suicide in schools

The troubling questions most Nigerians refuse to ask themselves probably due to its complicated and complex nature is 'why are Nigeria students taking their own lives in schools?'  First thought that will undoubtedly come to mind is the students' financial and economic struggles as a result of the badly managed government. Nigeria's current problems include bribery and corruption, senile leadership, food insecurity, inflation, fuel difficulties, Forex challenges, and, most cruelly, widespread thievery by public officials. Second thought could be social, or peer pressure, emotional blackmail or relationship matters. Third reason is the radical policy of the incumbent president Bola Ahmed Tinubu who ensured subsidized education was eradicated and replaced with student loan.  But the major reason which has contributed more deaths than the aforementioned is the role of lecturers and other public officials in the educational system.  Do you know that once a student is admitt...

Nigeria lies: Why Boko Haram, Banditry and Kidnapping might never end

Insecurity in Nigeria is a business venture for top officials who have brilliantly covered up their tracks irrespective of the carnage it has cost over the years.  Due to Nigeria's extremely corrupt political structure, certain officials who were unfortunate enough to have their photo taken dining with a Boko Haram leader have risen to the second-highest position in the government and have stifled any idea of conducting any investigation.  Ahead of him, a different official declared with audacity that "an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the northern part of Nigeria" and demanded the liberation of the group. Regretfully, since 2012, this region has lost about $250 billion in investments and lands, and over 200,000 people have died. Horrifically, that same individual rose to become the president of Nigeria and left a devastating legacy in his 8-year tenure. NTS reported that over 63111 died in his 8-year-time, the report is clearly stated in Vanguard Newspaper 6th June...

Ending poverty: 5 excellent ways the federal government can end poverty in Nigeria

Everywhere you go around the world they're people who are impoverished, broke, dependent on the state and in some pathetic state, neglected by the state for one reason or the other.  Some countries have drastically reduced poverty by ensuring the needs of the people are meant by investing in both capital and human resources while other countries have struggled badly to achieve similar state despite investing in trillions.  Nigeria falls into the second category; despite spending trillions of naira on both capital and human resourcs, 75% of its citizens still live in extreme poverty. What steps must the government take thereafter to eradicate or significantly reduce poverty. Surprising right, but they're much deeper reasons why Nigeria is a failed state and what must be done to combat poverty.  1. The federal government must empower ambitious Nigerian and stop over bloating the ministry with incompetent staffs- People who are ready to be self-sufficient, create industries...
