VAR a thing of mixed emotions.

With the Video Assistant Referee(VAR), errors will be a thing of the past maybe. During the recent confederations cup 2017, many eyebrows were raised with this system.

 As if that was just the start of it, we shall have a chance of witnessing another teat during the FA cup third round. It has been designed to adjudicate only an error made by the match referee, so diving players may have to find other means of winning some battles on the field. All top flight leagues around the world but most Europe will be the first experimenters of this adventure.

One of the questions perhaps would be whether the replays could be showed at the same time during review for the fans and players on stadium screens. This puts referees in the spotlight in case of any misjudgments and tough calls made. All eyes will gage whether the VAR could fully end erroneous decision making and take away that part of the game that keeps it exciting enough like how we have all been used to in the past or it will be a little more of the same blow from the past. Keeping figures crossed.

New Tech Opportunities in Africa

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming Africa. Across the continent, new startup digital enterprises are emerging, while existing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly leveraging ICTs to expand. Intensified use of ICTs presents Africa’s SMEs with opportunities in virtually every sector as well as room to create jobs. The pace of transformation across Africa, however, is slow and one of the major barriers is poor ICT infrastructure. A number of countries are reaping the benefits of greater digital penetration but others are watching from the sidelines. In Kenya for example, the M-Pesa mobile money disruption has enabled many SMEs to be more efficient.

Africa is Rebuilding its Walls.

Now or Never Africa is finally showing off its great potential. Many investors have left America and Europe and have seen a great potential and great market in Africa. Africans have to wake up and realize that the land is rich and fertile. The people are young and energetic. The women are strong and productive. The men are hardworking and supportive. Together we can make Africa great. African leaders can not hold this vision anymore. They have disappointed us by greed and corrupt minds. A great Africa begins with its citizens. We believe a united Africa is a better Africa. Let's take charge now and work harder than ever for this mighty continent. This is a continent chosen by God to be special and unique.

Who Are The Serious Premier League Contenders?

With transfer speculation still on, many may argue that there is still business to be done. But straight at it, I believe there only 4 strong contenders for the English premier league this season. The Manchester clubs no doubt, Chelsea and Tottenham. Of these, I still believe Chelsea are the strong favorites because the simply know how to grind out results even while under pressure. The team has stuck together even amidst a lot of Costa talk and speculation on the manger' s future and board decisions. Man City have a great squad but I don't think they can match up Chelsea's winning mentality. The same applies to Man United, they have had a good couple of preseason games and great league games so far but that won't be enough. Mid way the season, the leaks are more likely to show up for a non consistent starting squad and many games to be played domestically and Europe. Spurs on the other hand still look the great Tottenham from last season but perhaps lack of great impro
