Real Deal Or Pretenders: Can Tottenham Hotspur Really Win The Premier League Title?

Six wins, 2 draws and no defeat after 8 games played, Tottenham Hotpsur are living the dream and slowing turning doubters into believers. When Tottenham lost their best player to Bayern Munich, nobody would have imagined they'd go on a serious pursuit of the title. 

But it was a huge blessing in disguise for him to leave. Now there is a shared responsibility among the players to score goals. 

With Harry Make gone, everyone is accountable for each and every decision they make on the pitch and must prove to their manager Ange Postecoglou that they deserve to be in the team.

That added pressure coupled with the manager's tactical innovation has made Spurs a far better to watch and much more difficult team to beat. 

Fulham will be tough to beat but Spurs will win the game.

Presumptuous you might think but from the evidence on display, 'not through VAR though', it shows that Spurs are the real deal. Spurs can actually be champions. 

It's understandable if you are doubting Spurs title credentials having watched them for years disappoint everyone including themselves. When it feels like Spurs will finally win something, someone in the team those something silly and the entire club suffers. 

2023 could be the same as 2019, 2016 or even 2014. 

Those are memorable seasons Spurs created unforgettable memories by reaching finals but never had the balls to go all the way. Will this season be different or similar?

Maybe, Spurs have started the season brilliantly but what happens when the losing streak sets in? Can they dust themselves up and keep fighting or, will they crumble when the defeats pill up?  

And what of injuries? Long term injuries to maybe Heung Son Min, Richarlison or James Maddision. Can Spurs really cope without their star players? 

The next 5 game will be crucial, if Spurs maintain the winning momentum, you best start believing.

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...
