Dear Arsene

It is categorically clear that, you are one of the best coaches around in this era of the game in our world today. It is equally clear your potential as a talent developer in football is grosse. It is also clear that with time, your game has evolved and it's becoming the more productive.
It again is a fact that you are one of the key cogs in Arsenal, unlocking players, creating something out of nothing for the team, when we seem not to be able to break down stubborn rearguards.
What is boggling my mind fleetingly however, is how you try so hard not to match your overall game with the ruthless finishing it deserves.
Many times, you have created opportunities for the players. Many times, you have gone past your counterpart coaches who do not use their coaching skills to create or develop young players. Again, many times, you have beaten opponents by a drop of the shoulder and left many others for dead.
What is desperately lacking, Arsene Wenger , I have to say, is your inability to put chances away with the sort of precision you apply to you players. But you rather sell those that you call developed talent player.
On many occasions, you have tried to overcomplicate things when you could easily, easily, buy players from ranges of football clubs around the world but you refused to do so and insisting of using developed talent players.
My advice to you as a gunner die hard supporter, If you are to challenge the Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchesters and co at their game at the moment, and in this era of the game, where it's all goals, goals, goals and goals, that count you among the best, then there's only one thing to do, and it's simple that you should just leave the club for someone who can bring more goals and trophies into the team.
Or put the chances players you have created and don not sell them, or make use of other coaches created players instead of putting them away with the sort of precision you apply to your tactics, darts and intelligent play.
I believe there is a way that you can help Arsenal to get back on its feet. How do you achieve this?  It is Simple. By doing the simple things. Tapping new players into the team, use accurate tactics when your key players are on injury ,and stabbing the more goals at home when you have to, instead of trying the overly complicated placements, dinks, lobs, rabonnas etc players around.
Arsene Wenger, remember I'm a big fan of yours truly, but sometimes you annoy me with some of those things you do, to be truthfully honest.
There have been too many matches this season, you could have gotten us the satisfied results and points needed, even in the champions league matches. I remember the match V Swansea city, and that v Chelsea, and recently united. If you had taken even 80% of the opportunities you were presented with, you would have hit 27+ points by now.
So, my dear Arsene as I have advice you, the season grinds into the period, where the real action starts, Endeavor to heed the request of the fans and club and be more ruthless in front of the table to make you that complete team as we want it to be, and hopefully challenge Mourinho and the rest of the coaches at their matches……………………………………………………….
Thank you.
Yours truly, happily unhappy fan!

THANK YOU GIJ





I have always Imagine a world without schools and colleges! Impossible, right? No matter how much I hate waking up early for school or studying all night for the tests and exams, I knew that education is very important. I am not saying that an uneducated man has no chance of being successful or an educated man will surely do well in life but the exceptions are always there.
 However I have come to agreement that, as an educated person I get better opportunities in life thanks to Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ). GIJ told me that, it is easier for me to become successful and realize my dreams as compared to someone who is uneducated.
GIJ further said that, Other than success and economic prosperity, there are various other reasons why education is almost necessity in my career life. Because  Education  is what I need if I want an answer to my ‘whats’ and ‘hows’ and ‘wheres’ and ‘whos’ and ‘whens’ etc which will help me understand the world Am  living in.
GIJ also thought me that, I live in an ever changing world. New technologies keep coming up and if I don’t want to be left behind, I must keep up with the world which is moving really fast in the form of new media, blogging, Smart phones and internet. GIJ made it clear that without education it will be really difficult for me to adapt to all these changes.
 As a GIJ product Am much more aware of the latest technologies and all the changes that are taking place in the world. For example, a non GIJ person may not know about the benefits of the internet whereas a GIJ person uses this gift of technology regularly for work.
I have been thought how to be confident in myself under GIJ and my Diploma is considered as a proof of my knowledge by many corporate in the country and the world as well. With GIJ Diploma in communication studies I have more chances of being heard and taken seriously. Generally, a non GIJ person will find it harder to express his/her views and opinions owning to lack of confidence. Even if he/she does so, people may not take him seriously. GIJ have given me the confidence to express your views and opinions.
Again GIJ advised me that, I live in a society which has its own set spoken and unspoken rules and one of them education and the society expects me to go to the extra miles to get them the expected information, educate, factual to save them from being subjugated and fooled.
Through GIJ, I have learnt that I live in a country where we enjoy a number of rights and freedom but it does  not means that I should take advantage of innocent, weak, and illiterate people.
 Today, I get to enjoy the good things the world has to offer me because of what GIJ have installed in me. A great job, a good social reputation are few of the many benefits of being a GIJ person. With GIJ has helped me to realize my dreams.
GIJ “promoting communication with Excellence”
 I LOVE GIJ

AYEKOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROF. AZUMAH

Some sport personalities are good and great when it comes to talking but Azumah is an exceptional. Azumah Nelson also known as the "professor" has been one of the greatest sport people in the country. I cannot dispute the fact that he is very good and kind to all persons of manner. Also he is a man of integrity and trustworthy. To such noble man I say “ayekoo”. Coming out with two hundred and seventy-eight paged book is not easy.
 The Professor-The Life of Azumah Nelson account the life of Ghana and Africa’s greatest boxer and corridor of being widely honored and acclaimed of his best and worst moments, achievements and disappointments among other terrifying stories which completed him  to be the shining example in Ghana and  African as whole.
The book  enlighten the  level of interest by the story of the man who has been well-known international reputation for his involvement to the success of World boxing has been gigantic and have expose some of the hidden truth in the rear of  his incredible profession.
The professor’s book launch also brought some dignitaries in the country together which includes former presidents, sports personalities, politicians, businessmen and women, foreigners, corporate, academia  , love ones and others.
Azumah said what account to his enormous successful career was his intelligence of patriotism and devotion and his love for Ghana and Africa.

Listening to him on the Super Morning Show on Joy FM with Kojo Yankson Tuesday, he advised that “Money is something that God gives…we have to listen to voice of God sometimes. When God makes you great, He didn’t make you great to come and control the people but He made you great to come and serve the people.”
However, my question is; are we pursuing our professional courses based on God's calling? Or we are doing it because of the money involved?
