Life Coach Ajero Morgan – ‘If your brother is still generous to your family after marriage, thank his wife’

Posted: 17 Jan 2020 11:00 PM PST

A life coach identified as Ajero Morgan on Twitter has gotten people talking on social media after sharing a piece of his mind.

Morgan stated that people who have brothers that are still generous after they have gotten married should not get comfortable with thanking their kin alone.

He noted that the wives of such family members should be heartily thanked and appreciated.

This, according to Morgan, is because men who respect their wives often listen to them. As such, behind the benevolence of such men is the strong support of their wives.

"If after marriage, your brother is still being generous toward your family, don't always thank him alone. thank & appreciate his wife also. Men who respect their wives listen to them. So, behind your brother's benevolence is the support of his wife. Don't take it for granted," his tweet read.

Speaking to newsmen, leader of the group Udochi Emmanuel stated that being harassed for wearing skirts in NYSC orientation camps breached their fundamental human rights under Section 38(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Udochi also stated that wearing of trousers has led to increased level of immorality in NYSC orientation camps. She said;

"We had our mothers wearing skirts and we want to go back to that.

"We have asked for exemption (sic) severally. NYSC has not given that as an option, they have made it a compulsory one-year service for everyone below the age of 30 and they are mandated to wear those clothes.

"We have already started negotiations (with government) and we hope that from this dialogue we will get a favorable response."

She also disclosed that they will seek redress in court if they don't get what they want.

Juventus coach, Maurizio Sarri says Lionel Messi having more Ballon d’Or wins than Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘really annoying’

Posted: 17 Jan 2020 09:30 PM PST

Last year, Lionel Messi won his sixth Ballon d'Or and broke ties with his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo after they dominated the prestigious annual honour for the last decade.

Maurizio Sarri, the coach of Juventus has now said that he is not happy that Lionel Messi has won the coveted award one more time than his forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the Italian coach, it is 'really annoying' and he is determined to help Cristiano Ronaldo win another Ballon d'Or.

'I would like to help Cristiano win the sixth Ballon d'Or first,' Sarri told reporters after their win over Udinese.

'It's really annoying thinking that someone won more [Ballons d'Or] than him. I think about him and I think helping him, it is my goal and the goal of the team. It is right for him.'


Sarri also tipped Paulo Dybala to challenge for the award in the future.

'Dybala is going to be one of the contenders in the next years. I think so,' Sarri added. 'Dybala is a top player. As every top player when they are becoming confident and having the right age, they are playing like a top player.

'I don't think a manager can teach something to a top player. Dybala is going to leave a mark in world and European football in the next years.

He has got the right age to leave a mark and he's still got many years of his career. He is really confident in this moment after a few difficulties in the past.'
