MAHREZ WINS PFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR

MAHREZ NAMED PFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR
By uwoghiren

Riyad Mahrez has been named the PFA Player of the Year for 2016 seeing off competition from  team-mates Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante and spurs's Harry Kane to scoop the prize.
The Algeria international has been inspirational for Claudio Ranieri's side this season with his 17th goal of the season on Sunday helping them move eight points clear at the top of the table after a 4-0 win over Swansea City.
Mahrez has also contributed 11 assists for the Foxes, who remain hot favourites to win their first ever Premier League title with just three games left to play.
The Algeria international's Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy came second in the vote with Tottenham striker Harry Kane finishing third.
"It's extra special because if the players vote for me it's because they've seen I've been great this year so I'm happy," said Mahrez on accepting the award.
"Without my team-mates I wouldn't get this award. We are like brothers, it's everywhere on the pitch. That's our strength.
"If sometimes we are not good, we know we are going to run and make the effort for our team-mates. That is the secret of our success."

Mahrez is Leicester's first-ever winner of the award and also makes history by becoming the first African player to pick up the accolade.
The 25-year-old Algeria international is also the first winner not to play for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham or Manchester United since Newcastle United's Alan Shearer in 1997.
Elsewhere, Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli was named Young Player of the Year, Jamie Vardy received an award to recognise his record 11-game Premier Leageue goalscoring streak and Ryan Giggs received the PFA Merit Award.

5 Common Smartphone Battery misconception

Last month, I did a post on Top Reasons Why Your Smartphone Battery Now Drain Twice As Fast. Click here to view.

Now we are the misconceptions.
The ultimate need to keep our smartphones running at all times has manifest in a number of ways. Smartphone users hunt for different measures to keep their batteries healthier and durable. A number of these "battery saving practices" are just mare misconceptions and misinformations (All na wash) which most people consider. Here are five of the most prevalent smartphone battery myths :

1. Don't use your phone while charging: Most people believe that using your phone while charging might cause your phone to implode or end up electrocuting you. Well this is not exactly true, except if you're using it in a bathtub, making call or if your charger is Aba made . Charging your phone and using it at the same time has no effect on battery quality. However, it can slow the rate at which your phone get fully juiced because the longer you screen is on the more power it'll consume.

2. Let your battery run down completely before charging: This was applicable to old age batteries which are the Nickel Cadmium or Nickel-metal hydride batteries. These batteries used to be foolish. They tend to forget their full capacity hence can no longer charge 100% again. Most Modern smartphones however, use lithium-ion batteries which works entirely different from the old batteries. In fact, complete battery drainage before charging is believed to reduce battery durability. Most batteries have finite number of charging cycles and as it continuously increases battery efficiency is reducing. As your battery drains to 0% more charging cycles results. It is better advisable to keep your battery charged at all times in contrast to complete depletion.

3. Leaving your phone on charger overnight damages the battery: This is probably the most common. As it is believed overcharging reduces the battery's ability to hold charge. This is true for ancient lithium-ion batteries that could overheat or even explode if charged for too long. Modern phones however, are called smartphones for a reason. They're intelligent enough to detect or recognize when the battery is fully charged thereby limiting the power reaching the battery. In fact, most smartphones undergo trickle charge that improves battery health. Leaving your device to charge overnight is not as detrimental as they say. This however,doesn't guarantee you leave your device connected to the power source in excess of 12 hours. Some other factors might arise such as the battery overheating and this coupled with a poor battery casing might cause your battery to explode. It is more recommended to maintain battery juice between 40% - 80%.

4. Use only original charger to charge your phone: Although the use of official original charger is highly recommended, brand-off or third party chargers work just fine. However there's an exception to super-cheap crappy chargers which can lead to battery damage. A Licensed third party charger is just fine as long as it charges you device. Although it might take a longer time to fill up your battery.

5. Task Managers or App killers conserve phone battery: Most often, you'll find a lot of people opting-in for task managers to help preserve smartphone battery. But in the actual sense these apps only results in more battery depletion.App killers tend to arbitrarily destroy applications running in background thereby taking it out of the phone's RAM. Most of these apps are required for the phone to function normally. So as soon as they're closed, they'll have to load to the phone's memory all over again. This frequent loading and unloading puts extra stress on the device leading to more power consumption than if you just left it alone.

Lil Kesh plan to leave YBNL

Over the weekend, there were insinuations that Talented rapper, Lil Kesh will be leaving his label, YBNL, a home which houses Adekunle Gold, Chinko Ekun, Viktoh, Pheelz, Young John under the leadership of King Olamide Badoo.

This news is one that nobody envisaged, at first, everyone thought it was just a joke but since the news broke, there hasn’t been a statement from the label to debunk the rumours, hereby confirming it to be true.

However, as surprising as it is, there has to be reasons for this development and at Saharaweekly, these are what we tink the pains of Lil kesh are:

Cheating : No doubt, Lil kesh is one great artiste that has a lot to offer, he is also a street guy which makes him blend with the whole YBNL crew. He has made lot of hit song and he was part of the first set of artiste signed to the label. Before the arrival of other artistes, videos were shot for all of Lil kesh’s song but the situation has changed. He released his album some months ago and till now, no video has been shot whereas, Adekunle Gold released ‘Ready’ some weeks back and in a space of days, a nice video was shot.
Another issue is Olamide’s latest jam, ‘Who you epp’. Olamide knew the kind of person he is, whenever he releases anything, it’s surely going to be the new language in town. This track technically killed Lil Kesh’s Album ‘Y.A.G.I’ whereas; he didn’t do same in the matter of Viktoh, Adekunle Gold, and others.

Retrogression: Lil kesh has been with Olamide for two years, and he got no tangible endorsement. He started the career with Reekado banks, Korede Bello, and those guys are already smiling to the bank. They are making a living out of their music, without depending on their record label. This is really disheartening for the Youngster. He hasn’t really progressed.
Another one is that he hasn’t gotten any prime award ever since he joined YBNL.

Modesty: This is really a big issue. It has become a custom for Olamide to say unprintable words to organizers of awards if Lil kesh isn’t given any. He has done it twice at the Headies awards. This is affecting the young man’s career. Award organizers don’t want to nominate him again, no one wants olamide’s trouble.

Lil kesh is a great artiste, but we hope if he eventually leaves, he becomes greater even though it will be difficult.

Furthermore, confirming his Exit story, Lil Kesh’s Manager, AB Fresh was called live on radio and was asked to confirm or debunk the rumour but he said ‘ When it’s time, you will know, there’s no fun telling you right now’

Success bro.

Leicester are five points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the table with four matches of the season remaining, having already clinched champions league qualification.

"It's unbelievable. Now we try to win the Premier League title."
Looking ahead to the match against the Swans, Ranieri said he has a decision to make with his starting XI as star striker Jamie Vardy is suspended for two games.
"We will have to change something. Without Jamie Vardy we'll make another strategy, but we'll see on Sunday.
"Leo Ulloa deserves to play but there is a team and I think about what is best for the team.
"When you want to win the title it's important to win. Swansea is a difficult match. Battle. It will be a battle.
"Swansea close very well and press very well, but we want to win the Premier League so we will have to fight.
"On Sunday everyone will give a little more to each other to try to win the match."

RONALDO A DOUBT FOR CITY CLASH

Ronaldo doubtful for Manchester City clash
By uwoghiren

Ronaldo picked up the thigh issue late in Wednesday's 3-0 La Liga win over Villarreal, with the attacker's availability for next Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg at City now uncertain.
After tests carried out on both Thursday and Friday in the Spanish capital, Madrid said that the 31-year-old had a strain in his right thigh muscle without giving any indication when he might be ready to return to action.
The Blancos coach told a news conference that the injury was being monitored from day to day, but even with Madrid chasing the Liga title and Ronaldo going for the European Golden Shoe top scorer award he was definitely not going to be in the match squad for Saturday's game.
"Tomorrow [Ronaldo] will not play," Zidane said. "We did the scans and he has nothing serious, but he cannot play tomorrow. Then we will see day to day. Tomorrow he will stay at home. Then we will see about Tuesday."

NEYMAR TO MISS COPA AMERICA

OFFICIAL: NEYMAR TO MISS COPA AMERICA

Barca have confirmed that Neymar will represent Brazil at the Olympic Games but not the Copa America this summer.
Earlier this month, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced they would fight the European champions' insistence that the forward would only be available for one tournament.
Now, however, Barca claim that CBF president Marco Polo del Nero has agreed that Neymar will be called up solely for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
A club statement reads: "FC Barcelona thanks the Brazilian Football Confederation and its president, Marco Polo del Nero, for having accepted the proposal the club made so that Neymar would only play the Olympic Games that take place between August 3 and 21.
"As a result, Neymar Jr will be exempted from playing the Copa America that takes place in United States between June 3 and 26."
The Copa America is taking place for a second consecutive year to mark the centenary of Conmebol and the first tournament in 1916.
It will be hosted outside of South America, in the United States, for the first time and features an expanded field of 16 teams including six Concacaf representatives.
Neymar was sent off at the end of Brazil's second match of last summer's Copa America in Chile, resulting in a four-match ban which ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.

IBRA DON'T SCARE US

IBRAHIMOVIC DON'T SCARE DREAM TEAM VI - SIASIA
By Uwoghiren

Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia says he isn't scared of threats from Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and PSG’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Dream Team VI will face Sweden, Colombia and Japan in Group B of the group stage of the 2016 Olympics men's football event and the duo have been penciled down to represent their countries.
"There is nothing to fear about Zlatan Ibrahimovich starring for the Swedish team and James Rodriguez staring for Colombia in our Group,” Siasia told Goal.
“These two countries already know their weak areas that they want these mentioned want to come and cover up. So they already have a team on ground.
"But we don't know yet because we are trying to put up a team that would determine which three over aged players we would want to bring. But Sweden and Colombia already know their grey areas.
"Those names like Ibramnovic and Rodriguez won't scare us. It is about the team not about an individual. We have played about bigger names before in competitions. We played against an Argentine team that had Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Huguain, Angel Di Maria and other big players.
“ So we are not scared about the names. We just need to put up a team that hold its own against any team, I mean a team that we can all be proud of?
"We need to think well on the over aged players we want to invite. I don't want to mention names now that later if those names are not there they will be so much disappointed,” he concluded.
Nigeria face Japan in their first game on August 4

4 Things Every Fresh Nigerian Graduate Should Keep In Mind

Every Nigerian undergraduate heaves a sigh of relief the moment they write the last paper of their final exams, no matter what part of the world they find themselves. They tend to think the worst is over and they are pumped up with enthusiasm for the future. Most of them who are not in the country immediately return home with copious optimism despite the fact that most of them have little or no knowledge about the Nigerian job market and potential careers for them.

Fortunately, life does not start and end within the four corners of the classroom. It is important that you are properly prepared – mentally and otherwise- before jumping into the labor world, that way you are prepared for every possibility.

1. Slow your roll, it is not a race

You have just graduated, you have so many dreams to achieve, your goals and vision seem so feasible, and because you have so much positive energy, you are possessed with the strong urge to achieve them all immediately. You then find yourself comparing your strides with those of friends and thus filled with self-loathing when most of them seem to be ahead: they are already in Law school, graduate school or have landing a great job while you are still at home still watching Super Story or Crime Watch.

While it is fairly common to justify your worth immediately after graduation, you need to keep in mind that life is not a race. Give yourself time; your path does not necessarily go in the same way as others. Take your time in forge your path…and remember, the race is not for the swift.

2. Your degree does not guarantee a job

Yes, you worked your heart out at the university, studied every night, attained excellent grades and graduated Magna Cum Laude. However, these achievements in school, no matter how laudable, do not entitle you to a six figure job, with full benefits and a corner office.

You need to get your head out of the sand and realize that your mental ability and hands-on skills are what sets you apart in the real world. Forget the degree! Take personal responsibility and equip yourself with the courage to shape your future with your own hands.

3. Experience is worth more than the pay

Do not be too fixated on how much you earn. You are just starting out so be smart, take the first few years to gain the best possible experience that and equip yourself for opportunities to make all the money you need in the future.

Do not stay idle waiting for the job with the huge pay, it may never come, as in Nigeria, experience matters a lot. Take the internships, the unpaid jobs and use the opportunity to build a network of contacts. Spend your days and nights gaining valuable working experience and marketable skills. The experience and skill will eventually separate you from all the others who graduated with you and set you apart.

4. Your Social Media page has a huge influence on the opportunities that come to you

Social Media is huge and almost everyone has an account on either Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat.

While you have free reign over your account and can post anything you want on it, you need to be cautious when sharing stuff online as you cannot regulate the number of people who visit and view your wall. One of them could be your prospective employer or someone who is linked to a company you have applied to. Avoid immature comments and foul language as most times, companies use their potential-employees social media profiles in order to know them better…and you want them to get a good impression. Create a social media profile that reflects your ambitions, and provides a link to your resume for potential recruiters.
