ChelseaCrippledPalace 2-0

With an average player age of 24, this team is the chelsea youngest ever starting eleven in Premier League. But the fire, the passion and the hunger smell of experience way above that age bracket.

Pulisic has this sickening dribble skills that purge opponents of senses. He is definitely an upgrade to Hazard. With the quick eyes for goals, you never can get a better value for such price.

It was Abraham that got the first goal. Fans need to respect this lad. He has been in the thick and thin of this season with Chelsea and his goals have been fundamental to their standing in the EPL table.

Pulisic the captain America got the second. He dribbled and shot with his triggered-happy legs but the woodwork denied him. Thus, if the legs won't be lucky, he bested the goalie with a header.

Lampard cruising and Chelsea ship is having a wonderful sail despite the rough starts to the season.

We kowtow.

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

Of Nigerian HR and the Teeming Youths

There’s a thin line of difference between being boisterous and confident. Also, the determination of what is rude is often how the expression is perceived. HR Taiwo interviewed this brilliant dude who wanted to impress her with a simple compliment of “you smell nice”. HR Taiwo retorted “you are rude!” Twitter went agog with varying ideas. While some concluded that Nigerian HR acted like a mini-god, some decried the audacity of the guy. What was HR expecting? A respectful "ma" to follow? Or she regarded the compliment as audacious flirting? What was the interviewee trying to achieve also? A memorable closure to the interview? Or a simple display of his confidence? I understand she was too harsh with the retort but people can be that difficult. As an interviewee, do not allow yourself to be goaded into a position where such unruly interviewer will have a chance to hack you down. Flamboyant confidence can maim your chance with sadists on the seat "You smell nice"...

GRIEF-PLOITATION AND MEDIA TRAFFIC

Traffic, like we are conversant with, is the amount of people who pass through a certain place at a certain moment in a certain way. The likes of facebook posts, the views on YouTube uploads and blog posts, the retweets and favourites on tweets, the clicks on your links and the comments on all these are regarded as social traffics. The viability of these platforms depends on the traffics pulled. Thus, getting any amount of traffic becomes an obsession and a compulsive disorder to social media users. Since grief arrests human attention than any other emotion it has frequently been exploited and commercialized to serve the wants of traffic. The stages of grief are said to be five (Elizabeth Kubler Ross and David Kessler). The stage of denial when the bearer denies the reality and wishes away the calamitous happening: the stage of 'no' it can never happen. The stage of anger induced by the dawning of the harsh reality: where bearers questioned even their gods. Ba...
