Lampard @ 42: From Super Player To Super Coach
By Ekene Dike
Frank Lampard is known to all and sundry as one of the best ever footballers to have ever played the game. He is much more revered at Chelsea Football Club where he became a cult hero and is presently head coach.
“Super Frank” as he was often called before his retirement, became the all-time top scorer for Chelsea, defying the odds of scoring by banging in goals as a midfielder.
The sharpshooter scored 211 goals, won three Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League title, four FA Cups, one Europa League title, and two Football League Cups.
Albeit his football wizardry enabled him attain personal milestones as he was included in the PFA Team of the year thrice, included in the FIFPRO World XI, finished runner up at the FIFA World Player of the year awards and Ballon d’or awards to mention but a few.
However, the inception of his wonderful career was at West Ham. At the London club, he stood out as a talented midfield maestro and Chelsea came to acquire his services in 2001. When his 13 year spell at Chelsea was over, he played for Manchester City and New York City in the MLS.
Furthermore, he represented England at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. He also played for the Three Lions at Euro 2004 and was included in the team of the tournament. After his retirement from international football, he was awarded an order of British Empire in 2015.
Following that he moved into managerial duties.
His tactical acumen has helped him outwit his former coaches like Jose Mourinho amd Carlo Ancelotti when his Chelsea side have come up against their teams. He is doing a good job so far, with Chelsea hoping to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season under his tutelage.
At 42, Lampard’s transition from player to coach is still an emerging folk tale but he has undoubtedly impressed many with his still young coaching career
He is indeed positioned to be among the few players to be celebrated as player and coach.

5 Things A Woman Must Avoid When Meeting Her In-Laws For The First Time
Meeting your fiancé’s parents or other in-laws for the first time can be a nerve-racking experience. It’s important to make a good impression and not give them any reason to dislike you because having a bad relationship with them will affect your marriage negatively.
Never talk too much
Strike a balance between being polite and engaging in conversation. Ask questions about your in-laws’ lives, hobbies, and interests. Listen attentively and avoid dominating the conversation. Remember that the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something stupid.
Never refuse to do chores
Subtly ask your partner before the meeting what they will expect or ask your in-laws if there’s anything you can do to help. If they decline, graciously accept their hospitality.
Never dress indecently
The first thing people access is your dressing. Avoid overly casual clothes, revealing clothing, or anything that may be culturally insensitive. Though you may not need to be extreme, there is a need to appear decent.
Don’t neglect their culture
You might marry into a culture that’s different from yours. The best thing you can do is respect their culture. If they kneel to greet, then do so. Remember, when your partner visits your family, you will want them to respect your own culture. Except that the culture is barbaric and illegal, it takes nothing from you to respect theirs.
Never meet them empty-handed
No matter where you are coming from, always come with a gift. It is bad manners everywhere to visit someone without bringing something along. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate gift since you don’t know them well and you don’t want them to think you are trying to buy their affection. I’ll recommend a food and fruit hamper.

Signs Of A Failing Relationship
If you notice some strange behaviors in your relationship that keep you in doubt, here are five signs that you can help you clear your doubt over the relationship whether it is failing or not.
You ignore each other
When your presence is not making a difference in your partner’s life, probably he or she is just trying to ignore you. They are no longer bothered about your presence and are busy in their lives. They ignore your talks and move out of conversations. If you see any of these signs, brace yourself for an upcoming heartbreak from a failing relationship.
Fights have become frequent
Any time you find yourself or your partner fuming with anger when you both are around each other and their actions and words agitate you, your relationship has surely become sour, or maybe even bitter. No matter if you realise it or not, it’s time that you save yourself from the ugly trauma and step out.
You no longer care for each other
If the other person’s misery doesn’t affect you anymore, and you have turned a blind eye toward their ordeals, this, again, shows that your relationship has become rotten and is a sign of a failing union.
This, in some cases, can also be a warning sign of a failing relationship that you need to rethink your presence in the relationship and re-evaluate its worth.
You all don’t talk anymore
Anytime there’s a screaming silence whenever you two are alone, it may be a reflection of the sourness in your relationship. However, if it’s about a week or so there can be other reasons for it, but if it has become a ritual it may signal the lost charm in your relationship. And maybe you have to think about it once again.
You have begun to hide things
If you or your partner have started to hide things from each other, there’s something wrong going on in your relationship. A relationship needs transparency and trust. And in the absence of any of the two, your relationship may signal a red flag.

Why Some Women Prefer Older Men In Relationships
Age, they say, is not a barrier to love, but sometimes, people and society tend to make a choice of who our partner should be especially in age and material possessions. But some women like to date an older man. They find something charismatic amongst older men which makes them attractive. Here are six reasons why women prefer older men as spouses.
Emotional security
Older men can provide their partners with the sense of emotional and mental security which is one of the basic needs of any relationship.
More caring
Since they are more caring, sincere and experienced as well, they know exactly the right way of making their women feel special and pampered and that is a major reason for some women who prefer older men.
Unique behaviour
They have a unique attractiveness which catches the attention of younger women. They like the older man’s way of presenting themselves which is not similar to that of a young man.
Dependable lifestyle
Mature men know what they want from their life. So, they are not going to mess with their partner or their life. They know how to have stability in it and for many women it is another reason they prefer older men.
Financial stability
They are also financially more stable and established than the younger ones. And this is one of the prime factors for some women who prefer older men in settling into life and committing in a relationship.
Maturity in handling critical issues
When there is maturity then love becomes the result of patience, care and trust. And youth is often associated with storms of different types of feelings. So, if one person has the ability to handle critical situations in the bonding, then the relationship will also be happier.

Four Ways To Conserve Fuel While Driving
Fuel economy is one of the major factors people must consider before buying a car and it is especially so in Nigeria to conserve fuel in Nigeria with a liter of fuel selling between N600 to N700.
Beyond that here are tips that would help you conserve fuel while driving your car around in Nigeria.
Avoid leaking exhaust
It may sound less important, but the truth is when a vehicle’s exhaust is leaking, it burns more fuel. Thus, in addition to the unpleasant noise oozing out of the exhaust, it drains your fuel as the engine works with so much effort.
Regulate your usage of air-conditioning:
There is always an urge to use the air-conditioner especially when the weather is hot because it is meant for that purpose. But if the weather is okay and you want to save fuel, don’t use it. However, there are arguments that some cars don’t consume extra fuel when the air-conditioner is on, but it is advisable to turn your car air-conditioner off, if you observe it consumes more fuel.
Switch off your engine in traffic jam
It is for a reason that fuel consumption is lower on the highway than in the city, and the reason is that every time you stop and start in traffic your car needs first gear and a huge amount of fuel to get moving again.
But when you are in slow-moving traffic, try to put off your engine when it’s taking so long.
Remove the roof rack
Removing the roof rack is a good way to conserve fuel. According to a study, even if the roof rack is empty, it increases drag and makes the car consume more fuel.
So you can remove them when you are not carrying any load. Also ensure that your tyres have adequate pressure when driving.

Be on time
You need to prepare early. This often means 10-15 minutes early. Interviewers often are ready before the appointment.

Why Many Men Cheat In Their Relationships
People’s choices regarding infidelity are influenced by various factors such as personal values, upbringing, past experiences, and the dynamics of their current relationship. Here are some reasons why some men cheat in thier relationships.
Lack of emotional fulfillment
The absence of emotional intimacy within a long-term relationship can lead some men to seek emotional comfort and understanding from someone outside of their partnership and so cheat on their partners.
Sexual dissatisfaction
When their sexual needs are not met, they may be tempted to find satisfaction elsewhere which is the reason why many men are unfaithful in their relationships.
Fear of Commitment
Some men struggle with committing fully to one partner due to a multitude of reasons such as fear of losing their independence or a desire to explore other options. This fear can lead them to engage in future infidelity as they may feel compelled to seek out different experiences or maintain a sense of freedom.
Boredom
The desire for new experiences and a break from the mundane can push them towards infidelity in marriage as a means of injecting excitement back into their lives.
Low self-esteem
Engaging in multiple affairs can cause a man to cheat as it provides a temporary sense of self-worth and validation, temporarily masking their underlying insecurities.
Peer pressure
Influence from friends or social circles that normalize or encourage infidelity can have a significant impact on a man’s behavior.
If men are surrounded by friends who engage in or condone cheating, they may feel pressured to conform to those behaviors, leading them to cheat themselves.
Lack of communication
When men feel unheard or misunderstood, they may be tempted to seek emotional affairs and relational connections outside of their current partnership and cheat on them.
Emotional immaturity
Men who struggle with emotional maturity and impulse control may be more susceptible to cheat on their partners. Their limited ability to regulate their emotions and make thoughtful decisions can make them more prone to succumbing to temptations outside their relationship.

6 Things You Must Not Say To Someone Who Is Angry
Anger is a hard emotion to witness and because we genuinely care about these people, we want to help them to feel better and hence niceties are required to approach someone who is angry.
Unfortunately, in efforts to say the right thing, we can end up making things worse by saying exactly what the other person doesn’t need to hear. Here are a few words to avoid telling them.
You’re overreacting/being too sensitive
Whatever they’re feeling is very real to them and for you to say something that dismisses those emotions is very invalidating.
If you continue to act like this, there will be consequences
Ultimatums are never the way to diffuse an argument. In fact, they will usually have the opposite effect. The other person will only feel pressured by your words and probably react harshly.
You’re acting crazy
Not only does the term “crazy” perpetuate stigma around mental illness, dismissing someone’s feelings as irrational is disrespectful and invalidating.
You’re wrong
When someone is angry, telling them that they’re wrong distracts from the issue and ignites protective instincts that will only further the argument.
What’s wrong with you?
When people are angry, they can also feel defensive and feel a need to protect themselves. When you say something like, What’s wrong with you?, you’re telling them that their anger is not a normal response to the situation.
You need to calm down
This request is not only invalidating but also rather impossible. Anger produces a physical as well as psychological response. They may be unable to calm down immediately. Telling someone to ‘calm down’ is not effective.
When a person is angry or upset, there are underlying emotions there that are more prevalent. These can include grief, disappointment, or sadness. Try to target those emotions instead of anger.
