Substitution: Pep out. Tito in

Guardiola leaves the Blaugrana bald.

Upon becoming Barcelona manager, Pep had a full hairline.

Meet Pep
Short for Josep
Whose achievements are not short
His stay in Camp Nou now cut short
By no other than Josep Guardiola
Declaring his days there over

Is he quitting when the ovation is loudest?
One of Barcelona's finest
His head was full upon arrival
The trophy room is full at his departure
Meet the man who had hair
But leaves bald

He favours a style Tika Tika
The ball is passed again and again
Opponents are left frustrated
As they gasp for breath and not the ball
That already is in the net
Pep the puppeteer 

He sought and found no way through
Why should anyone park the bus at the Camp Nou
The only one, yes the only one with a sextuple
A feat no one has been able to topple
He has left the Blaugrana to take a break
That man Josep  Guardiola

Pep out. Tito in.

AMNESTY: IN WHOSE INTEREST?

The Third Mainland Bridge is Africa’s and Nigeria’s longest bridge. Its economic importance and significance to Lagos and indeed to Nigeria cannot be wished away. It was shocking and worrisome to learn that terrorist organisation Boko Haram have come south to Lagos and made the bridge its target.  The sect has been responsible for numerous deaths and destruction of property worth hundreds of millions in Naira. A lot of persons have been displaced as a result of the wicked acts of this sect. The administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has had a torrid time dealing with the menace of the group and has thus far remained unsuccessful. Boko Haram is an ideological organization with hard line terrorist operations. It wants or at least is said to want a Sharia state all over northern Nigeria. Having links with other terrorist organizations including Al Qaeda is proof of its outsourcing capabilities. In terms of efficient organization and impact, the sect’s attacks have been hi

LAI'S JOLLOF RICE

I had a neighbour once. A good neighbour. He told us back then that   # JollofRice   was quite tasty in Senegal. Tonight though, the minister of Culture, Tourism and Information Alh. Lai Mohammed was asked on   # CNN 's Quest Means Business "which country makes the best #JollofRice" and Richard Quest actually had a bowl brought in for his view. "I would say Senegal" came the reply from the minister. "There is shock from the country" predicted Richard Quest. Twitter Nigeria is quite displeased with the res ponse and I'm certain others will follow. Two key areas for me in the interview: what are you positioning Nigeria as with Nollywood? Lai's response showed emphatically the directionless leadership of the incumbent administration. You do not have to be a brand strategist or a digital marketer to project Nigeria to the world as being the place for this and that! Oga Lai, that was your moment and you said something else. Then when we thou
