No Salah, no victory: Liverpool are becoming too reliant on Mo Salah

Another game, another goal, Mo Salah is becoming the best Liverpool Striker of all time. There is a strong chance that Salah will become Liverpool's highest goal scorer after having scored 201 goals in four seasons at the club.

It will be a great achievement to achieve that destiny, but it might damage the team's overall goal in terms of actualizing this dream.

Salah still remains Liverpool's major source of goals and without him, the club won't be contemplating finishing in the top 4 talk more of winning a trophy.

Over relying on a single player always comes at a cost. Although, Liverpool is no strange to this sort of situations. In the past they've relied heavily on Michael Owen, Sami Hyppia, Steve McManaman, Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez and the most recently Phillipe Coutinho.

Apart from Coutinho, the departure of some of the aforementioned players massively affected the progressive of the team.

But with Jurgen Klopp now managing the affairs of the club, Liverpool have managed to get rid of some of the finest players in the club's history and still remain competitive. (Emre Can, Gini Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho) all left Liverpool to green pasture.

Salah meanwhile is a different breed of player. He is an instinctive goal scorer capable of creating goals for others to. He is the modern version of Arjen Robben but fitter, stronger and extremely faster.

Depending on him to score scores does make sense but the Reds must be careful. He will leave someday to where the green is greener, and Liverpool will struggle to get going if no can match his scoring streak.

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...

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.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed. Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately. Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given. The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...
