Liverpools marquee signing

This is for the soccer lovers,the ones that do not sleep whenever their team is playing.The ones that would stay up late,just waiting for Champions league football.The ones that get excited when the transfer window is open,with hope that their team will land that marquee signing or the next lionel messi or Ronaldo if you prefer..

Liverpool have completed the signing of the Belgian international Christian Benteke from Aston Villa after meeting the release clause that was inserted in his contract.He did not come cheaply,as the club will have to fork out 32.5 million pounds.A lot is being said about the bulky striker as he is compared to Andy Carrol who costed the club 35 million pounds which remains their highest transfer fee date.As we all know,it did not work out with Andy as Rodgers did not find him suitable for his style of play.It remains to be seen of Benteke will fit into the team that already comprise of Baloteli, borini, lambert, sturridge plus the new arrivals,origi and ings.

Clearly Rodgers has some work on his hands to offload some of his strikers,to make way for the new signings.But what worries most Liverpool fans is how will Rodgers use Benteke?Will he change his style of play just to suite the striker? It remains to be seen..But for now,its up to Benteke to justify his price and become a household name at Anfield. But all this will depend on BR.

RANDOM FLOW: ADRENALINE RUSH

ADRENALINE RUSH

I am no go getter,
but for sure i knw hw to get it going,
its like they shot me with adrenaline
and the words wont stop flowing,

for am on medication yet my temperature keeps soaring,
ooh adrenaline,u got me so goin,

hope FIFA doesnt come probing.


Until then..# one love

THIRD TERM RULE: AFRICAS MAJOR CONCERN

As a child I was told democracy means the rule for the people, by the people….So it came as a huge lift for most African states, when they celebrated their independence, for they were now free from colonization. Many states went to the extent of changing their countries names; this showed how significant democracy was and still is. For example German East Africa was a Germany colony in the African Great lakes region, and included countries that have since changed names to Rwanda, Burundi and the mainland part of Tanzania and Rhodesia which was under Cecil Rhodes is now known as Zimbabwe.

Many natural resources continue to be discovered in African States, which has played a big role in improving their economies. As a result, many investors from abroad come to the continent for investment purposes. With this trend, its somehow shocking that Africa still has infrastructure, water and electricity problems amidst all this resources. Governments are the ones that usually carry the blame most of time, but what we forget it that a Government is run by the people, for the people. So, the big question is, does the change in Government guarantee change in the way the country is run?

In fact, it has proven to be a big challenge for most opposition parties in African States to get the ruling party out of power through elections. Nevertheless, most African leaders still find it hard to get out of office once their time is up. Even when they do step down, it’s reluctantly. This has led to many military coups in the continent. The usage of presidential limits has been of great help to curb such incidences. Most constitutions limit a president to two terms after which he/she becomes ineligible to run for presidency again. But some presidents still defy the two term rule.

Many head of state run to amend the constitution so they stay in power for the third term. For example, Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso, Idriss Deby of Chad, Omar Bongo of Gabon, Lansana Conte of Guinea, Sam Nujoma of Namibia and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda. All of the above presidents eventually won the subsequent re-elections. This tendency has gone on for a while and is one of Africa’s major concern , as it brings about political instability, and violence.

The most recent is the situation in Burundi. The current president, Mr  Nkuruzinza, was endorsed by legislators in 2005 to be president for five years in a power-sharing deal. In 2010, he was voted president again. He is currently seeking re-election, which has led to mayhem and violence in Burundi. At the moment, six people have been killed and other citizens have fled to neighbouring countries. Also some radio stations and Burundi University have been shut down. Protestors have vowed to get Mr Nkuruzinza out of power, but he still determined to hang on to power, reason being that his first term between 2005 and 2010 does not count because the was elected by legislators and not directly by the population.

On 5^th May 2015, the Burundi constitutional court ruled that Mr. Nkurunzinza could have a third term as he was first appointed by parliament and not directly elected. As it stands, the major worry for Africa does not lie in the elections, but the willingness of presidents to leave office when their time is up. What do you think could be the ideal solution for such a problem?
