Barcelona are finally ready to sell midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, this summer.
Goal reports that Barcelona chiefs are willing to take a huge loss on Coutinho as they are ready to negotiate offers in excess of €80million (£68.8million) for the Brazilian international.
The report claimed that Coutinho has ‘failed to convince’ Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde of his ability to secure a regular role in the first team since his arrival from Liverpool in 2018.
Coutinho has drawn interest from Premier League giants, Manchester United and Chelsea over the past few months.
The 26-year-old had said last week that he has not been playing well for Barcelona so far this season.
Coutinho told Movistar+: “In the last few weeks, months even, I’ve not been playing well but I still want to improve.”

10 Tips For Improving Your Self Esteem

10 tips for improving your self-esteem

Listen

In a nutshell, self-esteem is your opinion of yourself and your abilities. It can be high, low or somewhere in-between. While everyone occasionally has doubts about themselves, low self-esteem can leave you feeling insecure and unmotivated. You might be able to identify a few things that are affecting your opinion of yourself (maybe you’re being bullied, or you might be feeling lonely), or it could be a mystery. Either way, there are heaps of things you can do to improve your self-esteem.

1. Be nice to yourself

That little voice that tells you you’re killin’ it (or not) is way more powerful than you might think. Make an effort to be kind to yourself and, if you do slip up, try to challenge any negative thoughts. A good rule of thumb is to speak to yourself in the same way that you’d speak to your mates. This can be really hard at first, but practisemakes perfect. If you want a few pointers.

2. You do you

Comparing yourself to other people is a sure-fire way to start feeling crummy. Try to focus on your own goals and achievements, rather than measuring them against someone else’s. Nobody needs that kind of pressure!

3. Get movin’

Exercise is a great way to increase motivation, practise setting goals and build confidence. Breaking a sweat also cues the body to release endorphins, the feel-good hormones.

4. Nobody’s perfect

Always strive to be the best version of yourself, but it’s also important to accept that perfection is an unrealistic goal.

5. Remember that everyone makes mistakes

You’ve got to make mistakes in order to learn and grow, so try not to beat yourself up if you forget to hit CTRL+S on a super-important assignment. Everyone’s been there.

6. Focus on what you can change

It’s easy to get hung up on all the things that are out of your control, but it won’t achieve much. Instead, try to focus your energy on identifying the things that are within your control and seeing what you can do about them.

7. Do what makes you happy

If you spend time doing the things you enjoy, you’re more likely to think positively. Try to schedule in a little you-time every day. Whether that’s time spent reading, cooking or just conking out on the couch for a bit, if it makes you happy, make time for it.

8. Celebrate the small stuff

You got up on time this morning. Tick. You poached your eggs to perfection. Winning. Celebrating the small victories is a great way to build confidence and start feeling better about yourself.

9. Be a pal

Being helpful and considerate to other people will certainly boost their mood, but it’ll also make you feel pretty good about yourself

Oyetola to Osun people: Pay taxes to enhance development

Dsquare4life / January 3, 2019 - 9:55 PM / News Update
OSOGBO—GOVERNOR Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State has described payment of taxes as necessary support to support the development of the state.
Oyetola
Speaking during Iresi Day, in Iresi, Boluwaduro local government area, Oyetola said that prompt and sincere payment of taxes by various categories of residents is an important civic duty, immediate implication of which is more available funds for government to undertake critical projects, including roads.

His words: “I congratulate our people in this town on another historic occasion. It is an annual programme, but this will be my first time here. Let me quickly say that your request for roads is normal. Our people across the state have been requesting same. A way to support government in actualising this is to pay your taxes promptly. We will do your roads, but pay your taxes”
Urging the youth to shun violence, cultism and thuggery, as these would compromise peace in the communities, the governor, in a release by his Chief Press Secretary, Niyi Adesina, explained that the event was evidence of promotion of Yoruba culture and values, which he said would be aided when history is returned to schools as teaching subject.
He said: “I want to warn the youth not to accept thuggery contracts from politicians. Parents should encourage their children to learn a skill. Today, if you want good and dependable artisans, like bricklayer, carpenter or tiller, you go to Cotonou. This trend must stop.”
He equally encouraged parents to allow their children and wards to acquire vocational skills, noting that the better way to cope in life is to have a vocation to fall back on, as it is increasingly impossible for government to provide jobs for every able and qualified graduate.

10 Injured, As Youths Disrupt Crusade In Niger

Minna—THERE was pandemonium on Monday night in Tegina,Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, leaving no fewer than 10 persons with various degrees of injuries after some youths disrupted a Christian crusade organised by a man from a royal family who recently converted to Christianity.
The man identified as Prophet Shuaibu Bashir, said to have been “born again” is said to be from an unnamed royal family in Sokoto State, and was said to have been organising series of crusades and converting many people to Christianity in the local government and its environs in the last few months.
His activities were said not to have gone down well with some Muslim individuals and youths in the area which prompted the attack on crusaders.
It was gathered that the crusade had gone viral because of the “wonders and powers” including healing of long time and chronic sicknesses among others, which has been attracting many people from far and near irrespective of their religion and thus propagating and projecting Christ in the area to the people.
Vanguard learned that just as the latest crusade was about to take off in Tegina town with a large crowd in attendance, some irate youths, whose identities are yet to be ascertained, stormed the venue and beat up the worshippers, thus forcefully dispersing them and thus ending the crusade abruptly.
Besides those that sustained degrees of injuries, all the vehicles numbering up to eight that conveyed the worshipper to the crusade were seriously damaged, while some motorcycles brought to the crusade by worshippers were stolen by the invaders.
An impeccable source told Vanguard that the organisers obtained permission from the Police in the area, while the Emirate Council was also officially informed before the commencement of the Assembly and wondered why the religious event should be violently disrupted.
