Arsene Wenger to step down as Arsenal manager at the end of the season

Arsene Wenger is to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, ending a near 22-year reign as manager.

Wenger, 68, will leave a year before his existing contract was due to expire having led the club to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during a 22-year reign. 

Appointed on 1 October 1996, the Frenchman is the Premier League's current longest-serving manager and has taken charge of a record 823 games.

"I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years," said Wenger. "I managed the club with full commitment and integrity.

"To all the Arsenal lovers, take care of the values of the club."

Arsenal say a successor will be appointed "as soon as possible".

Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke described Friday's announcement as "one of the most difficult days we have ever had in all our years in sport".

He added: "One of the main reasons we got involved with Arsenal was because of what Arsene has brought to the club on and off the pitch.

"His longevity and consistency over such a sustained period at the highest level of the game will never be matched."

The American praised Wenger's "exceptional record", adding that he "transformed the identity of our club and of English football with his vision for how the game can be played".

"Three Premier League titles, including an entire season unbeaten, seven FA Cup triumphs and 20 successive years in the Champions League is an exceptional record. He has also transformed the identity of our club and of English football with his vision for how the game can be played."

In 2003-04, Wenger managed Arsenal's 'Invincibles', the first team since 1888-89 to go unbeaten through an English top-flight season

Wenger won his first Premier League title in 1997-98 as part of a domestic double

Appointed on 1 October 1996, he is the Premier League's current longest-serving manager and has taken charge of a record 823 games.

But some fans have turned on the Frenchman over the past two seasons as a result of their league performances.

Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Newcastle was their 11th in the league this season, equalling their worst tally in a campaign under Wenger.

They are 33 points behind leaders Manchester City, who have 87 points, and the same number away from bottom side West Brom, who have 21.

Arsenal finished outside the top four last term for the first time since Wenger arrived at the club, and are now 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, with five matches remaining.

They face Spanish side Atletico Madrid, who are second in La Liga, in the Europa League semi-finals, with the first leg on Thursday.

Senate’s stolen Mace, Evidence of Insecurity in Nigeria

The Nigerian Police has recovered the Senate’s stolen Mace at a flyover before the Abuja City Gate, where according to ASP Aremu Adeniran, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted the Police.
Yesterday thus stormed the Senate wing of the national Assembly and stole the Mace. This however did not stop the Session as a supplementary or backup Mace was brought out as plenary continued. Senator Ovie Omo Agege (APC Delta State) was arrested and released by the Nigeria Police over the Mace theft. He denies any involvement in the incident.
This incident has raised and revealed many questions about insecurity in the country. How the Hoodlums bypass all security checks to gain assess to Senate chambers. Lets imagine for a second these guys (thugs) dare devils assassins, more than a dozen lawmakers would have been dead. If asses to National Assembly is that easy, imagine how expose an ordinary Nigerian is. No surprise Fulani herdsmen can move into any community and slaughter humans with all amount recklessness and barbarism.
No wonder my lecturer S.P.I Agi will always say "Am a one Man Country, because i generate my own electricity, i generate my own water, i provide security for myself and healthcare services". Go around and you will prove him right. 99% of the population uses generator as means of electricity because since 1960 we have not been able to generate up to 10,000 megawatts to provide stable electricity for all Nigerians, what a shame! many Nigerians depends on personal boreholes for water, many still carry jericans kilometers away from their houses just to get water. In rural areas many drink from unhygienic wells or streams. Government hospitals are dead zones. Many communities have formed vigilante groups to protect themselves because the security institutions are a failure and cannot be relied upon. Government Schools are mere certificate awarding institutions. The Chibok Girls Kidnap, the Dpchi girls kidnap, Herdsmen barbaric activities, bank robberies in the middle the cities (broad day light) and most recently the stealing of the Senate Mace by unarmed thugs are all evidence of insecurity in the Nation and failure to provide basic amenities to the citizenry by the ruling elites even with the enormous resources and money channeled to various ministries. 
We has as citizens of Nigeria must come together bearing in mine every injustice, corruption and what we can achieve as a people for ourselves and generation unborn. It is our right and responsibility to protect our resources both natural and human. The politicians have shown time and time again they can't do it. Or Maybe we can't do it by ourselves, Maybe We Need a Man Like Putin.                     

NASA Astronaut Admits: 'We Don't Have The Technology To Go To The Moon'

American Astronaut Don Pettit says the US do not have the technology to go to moon anymore. According to Pettit NASA destroyed all the 1960s technology. This for many around the world is unbelievable. How can NASA destroy such technology? Technology that defined American scientific development. Another critical question is that; If we could do it in the 60s, why cant we do it now that science and technology has certainly improved. 

when we look at television, radio, cars, refrigerators, cell phones, computers etc how scientific world has innovated or improved these gadgets, it becomes harder to believe Don Pettit's claims. one will think that the technology that landed Armstrong and his team on the moon would have been kept, protected and improved. Its secrecy and importance would be classified as TOP SECRET and matter of National Security.

This development has left many conspiracy theorist who claim that NASA has never landed in the moon talking again. Some believe the moon landing footage was film at area 51 US top secret projects site. April 12 1961 the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin becomes the first human being to travel into space. During the flight, the 27-year-old test pilot and industrial technician also became the first man to orbit the planet, a feat accomplished by his space capsule in 89 minutes. This was a great challenge to the US especially with the cold war going on. Putting a man in space and beyond became more important than ever, it was a matter of National pride to the politicians and scientist. so On May 5, 1961, Alan B. Shepard made it into space—and back—just 23 days after Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to do so. Less than a year later, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. By the last of the six Mercury missions, on May 15-16, 1963, Gordon Cooper circled the Earth 22 times—the equivalent of spending one full day in space.

On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11's landed two men on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins were the astronauts on Apollo 11. This achievement placed United State Of America in the highest level of space technology and scientific development. they have made it! the Soviet has been beaten. 

             

the moon landing footage raised many questions from conspiracy theorist. They claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA, possibly with the aid of other organizations. The most notable claim is that the six manned landings (1969–72) were faked and that 12 Apollo astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon. Various groups and individuals have made claims since the mid-1970s, that NASA and others knowingly misled the public into believing the landings happened, by manufacturing, tampering with, or destroying evidence including photos, telemetry tapes, radio and TV transmissions, Moon rock samples, and even killing some key witnesses.

Much third-party evidence for the landings exists, and detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims have been made. Since the late 2000s, high-definition photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) of the Apollo landing sites have captured the lander modules and the tracks left by the astronauts.In 2012, images were released showing five of the six Apollo missions' American flags erected on the Moonstill standing; the exception is that of Apollo 11, which has lain on the lunar surface since being accidentally blown over by the takeoff rocket's exhaust.

Conspiracists have managed to sustain public interest in their theories for more than 40 years, despite the rebuttals and third-party evidence. Opinion polls taken in various locations have shown that between 6% and 20% of Americans, 25% of Britons, and 28% of Russians surveyed believe that the manned landings were faked. Even as late as 2001, the Fox television network documentary Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? claimed NASA faked the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race.

Some of the most popular conspiracy theories about NASA moon landing in 1969 are; 

1. The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt and galactic ambient radiation (see radiation poisoning and health threat from cosmic rays). Some conspiracists have suggested that Starfish Prime (a high-altitude nuclear test in 1962) was a failed attempt to disrupt the Van Allen belts.
2. Film in the cameras would have been fogged by this radiation.
3. The Moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.
4. The Apollo 16 crew could not have survived a big solar flare firing out when they were on their way  to the Moon.
5. he flag placed on the surface by the astronauts fluttered despite there being no wind on the Moon. This suggests that it was filmed on Earth and a breeze caused the flag to flutter. Sibrel said that it may have been caused by indoor fans used to cool the astronauts since their spacesuit cooling systems would have been too heavy on Earth.
6. Footprints in the Moon dust are unexpectedly well preserved, despite the lack of moisture.
7.  The alleged Moon landings used either a sound stage or were filmed outside in a remote desert with the astronauts either using harnesses or slow-motion photography to make it look like they were on the Moon.

There has always been suspicions and conspiracy theories about NASA moon landing Footage in 1969 and they don't seem to be going away anytime sooner after claims by Don Pittit that NASA has don't have the technology to go to the moon anymore because the 1969 technology has been destroyed which i think is pretty shocking and unbelievable. Maybe the conspiracies are false maybe Armstrong and his team truly landed on the moon. But i think someone have some serious explanation to do. How was it possible to put men on the moon in 1969 and not be able to do so in 2018? and why was the technology destroyed? 
what do you think? did NASA really land man on the moon in 1969 or ever?
or was it a means of wining the SPACE RACE as many call it?
will really appreciate your commend on this.
