Arsenal’s Wenger concerned by Chinese spending power

Arsene Wenger fears the huge wages being offered by big-spending Chinese clubs could cause problems when the Premier League teams look to negotiate new contracts with their star players.  Wenger is currently locked in talks with Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as the pair reportedly seek parity with the best-paid players in the Premier League. The Arsenal manager is hoping for successful resolutions to those contract stand-offs, but he believes the money on offer in the China Super League may persuade the Premier League’s star names to ask for even bigger pay packets to stay in England.

The former governor of Niger State, Muazu Babangida Aliyu, has stated that it is wrong to believe that only the woman folks belong to the kitchen. According to him, “men also belong there.” President Muhammadu Buhari had, recently in Germany, declared that his wife, Aisha belonged to the kitchen and the other room in reply to his wife’s protest that some unknown politicians had hijacked his government. Aliyu, who spoke in Minna, Niger State capital, at the annual lecture series organised by Newgate College of Technology, said: “Looking at the issue critically, and in Islamic terms, it is actually the man that should be in the kitchen as provided for in the Holy Quran. “The woman should only be in the ‘inner room,’ while the men should provide all the needs of the woman, including making purchases from the market for the use of the family. “Islam does not permit women to go out indiscriminately, as they are supposed to be in the house taking care of the children.” ...
