However, the Portuguese tactician believes Pochettino must change his stance on what represents success in football ‘the day he starts winning trophies’.

Pochettino is understood to have suggested that finishing in the top four of the English Premier League and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is as good as winning a silverware.

But speaking to beIN Sports, Mourinho observed that he disagrees with the Spurs' manager when it comes to determining success as a football manager.

"He’s different than me," Mourinho stated.
"He thinks different than me or the day he starts winning trophies he changes his communication," he further explained.

The former Chelsea manager was, however, quick to admit that he likes Pochettino as a person and coach.

Be that as it may, the Argentine tactician who is rated as one of the most talented managers in the world is yet to win a major trophy but has guided Spurs to three consecutive Champions League qualifications.

He is United's preferred choice to take over at Old Trafford at the end of the season as Mourinho's permanent replacement at the club.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney wants Mauricio Pochettino as Red Devils manager for 2019-20 campaign.

According to the Daily Mail citing ESPN FC., the former Three Lions captain, who currently plies his trade in Major League Soccer (MLS), believes the Argentine tactician is the right man for the job.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
