Arsenal Manager Has Penned A New 3 Year deal With The Club

Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger has no intention of leaving the Emirates this season or the next if reports in the media are true.

British Media reports that the Frenchman has signed a new three year-deal that will keep him at the club until 2017. The deal is believed to be worth £24million.

There were fresh concerns over the former Monaco coach staying at the club after the end of last season; a season that brought him 'word to mouth' with Chelsea's Jose Mourinho where the Portuguese coach tagged him a 'specialist at failure' shortly before the elimination of Arsenal at the hands of Bayern Munich in the second round of the UEFA Champions League.

However, winning the FA Cup the fifth time since he took over the helms at the club with an almost 'de-motivated' team has convinced others especially Mourinho who ended the season without any silverware that Arsene Wenger is not a failure.

The club has also restored confidence in the 64 year old Wenger who joined Arsenal in October 1996, Wenger departed home club Monaco with notable successes in his resume. With the new three year deal and a transfer fund of £100m for the coming season; the biggest transfer budget in the history of Arsenal, the manager could very well fulfill the dreams of Arsenal fans since the year 2004.

The professor of economics is expected to sign the deal soon on an annual wage of £8m-per-season.

Will you sign the deal? ''Yes,'' Wenger responded, ''Because I go to Brazil on June 10,'' he added when asked when he will sign the contract.

Wenger's FA Cup triumph and the support of the Club's owners give the clear belief that the club still believes in the coach who is yet to win the Premiership since his 'invincible' team of 2004 went 49 games unbeaten.

Buhari meets BBOG campaigners, says military doing its best

ABUJA , (Reuters) – Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday held his first meeting with campaigners calling for the release of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants in the northeastern town of Chibok last year. The militant Islamist group, whose six-year insurgency has seen thousands killed in Africa’s most populous nation and top oil producer, caused an international outcry when it took the girls from secondary school dormitories in April 2014. Buhari praised members of the Bring Back Our Girls group for their efforts to prevent the missing children being forgotten. “Nobody in Nigeria or outside could have missed your consistency and persistence,” said Buhari during the meeting at his presidential villa in the capital, Abuja. “I think you will agree that the present government takes the issue very seriously,” he said, adding that the military was working with neighbouring countries to ensure a regional task force could fight the insurgency.

Don’t scrap Office of First Lady, says Prophetess

A women rights crusader, Prophetess Nonny Robertson, on Tuesday criticised calls by some people for the scrapping of the Office of the First Lady by President Muhammadu Buhari. Robertson said in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday that the decision of the critics was not in the best interest of women. “It is wrong to scrap the Office of the First Lady because it is mere semantics as the wife of the president remains what she is whether designated a First Lady or not. “Calling for the scrapping of the office would adversely affect the fortunes of women and their expected contributions to nation building,” the statement said. The statement noted that the non-recognition of the First Lady’s office in Nigeria’s political scheme of things was already taking its toll on the family. “We have had series of first ladies; your perception about them is only real to you but not to another person. “If you perceive that one or two first ladies misbehaved, you will also perceive that some did well.
