Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie by claiming the French champions are the “most aggressive” team Chelsea have faced this season.

Laurent Blanc's side travel to west London with the tie finely poised after a 1-1 draw in Paris in mid-February.

Mourinho was unhappy with the treatment dished out to Eden Hazard at Parc des Princes, with the Belgium international being fouled a record nine times throughout the game – though the referee issued just two yellow cards to PSG players during the clash.

“The most agressive team we've played this season is Paris Saint-Germain,” the Chelsea boss told reporters on Wednesday.

“I have to be fair, I thought an English team would never be surprised by aggressive play because we have it in our country.

“We've played against sides from the Championship in the Cup, against teams from League One and Shrewsbury [Town] from League Two, but the most aggressive team was PSG.

“For me, that was a real surprise. With players of such quality, I was expecting more football and less aggression.”

Mourinho also criticised the assertion that PSG dominated the opening leg, claiming that they “dominated in everything except the result”.

“It depends on your concept of football. If dominate is the number of chances, yes, Paris had more chances,” he said. “If dominate is to make foul after foul. Or to move the ball without progression.

1.Those who can never say, “sorry”

They would hurt you, annoy you, disappoint you, but would never apologise, because they believe that it would belittle and demean them. When you are wrong, you apologise to them, and when you are right, you still apologise to them, hoping that that they would change. But they never do. You start to feel irritated and agitated. The love and respect you felt for them start to wear away.

2.Those who can never say, “Thank you”

Whatever you do for them, they are never grateful. “Why should I say, ‘Thank you’ when you are just doing your duty?” Some would say that their gratitude is in their heart. Do you have to open a heart to see the gratitude and get it? Such an attitude causes irritation and frustration and unhappiness. Such people also believe the world owes them a lot. They go around their activities with an entitlement mentality. They are difficult to please.

3.Those who have excessive libido or inadequate libido

Sexual intercourse is a very important factor in marriage, but when you have a spouse that needs it for breakfast, lunch and supper, it is difficult to have any peace in the family. Infidelity also knocks on door. On the other hand, when you have a spouse that hates sex or thinks that sex should only be had once a year during the wedding anniversary or birthday celebration, there is also trouble in the house, and infidelity is usually a challenge.

4.Men who think women are to be seen but not heard

Some men still live in the 18th century, in spite of the depth of education they profess. It is true that marriage is not a zone for feminist crusade, but if a man has archaic views about women, then, please avoid him like an Ebola patient. Watch out for statements like: “How can an ordinary woman want to be the CEO?” “How can a woman chat with men?”

5.Women who believe they don’t need men in their lives

Such women believe that they are self-sufficient in all things. They have the I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude. Men feel ill at ease when they are with women who don’t allow a room in their lives for a man to fill. Such women find it difficult to express love. They fly into quarrels easily. This creates frustration and conflicts.

6.Men who are looking for housemaids, not wives

These are men who still live in the 15th century. They have an archaic idea of what the role of wives is. They believe that women are only meant to cook, clean the house, bear children, and serve the men.

They believe that when the men talk, women must just obey. The man can keep mistresses, but the woman should keep quiet and not even be seen greeting a man. A woman should not work, should not step out of the house, and should not complain whatever the man doles out to her.

7.Those who can never trust anybody

These are those who believe that everybody is a dangerous enemy that has evil designs against them. They have an obsession with fear of people, including their spouse, that it is irritating. Once a spouse cannot be trusted, there can never be joy in the family.

8.Those who have no respect for others

People can mouth love, but without respect, a marriage can never be happy. Women who love to prove a point by insulting their husbands, or men who believe in treating their wives without dignity in the name of cutting their wives to size: such people make terrible marriage partners.

9.Women who see all men as competition that must not be given an inch

Marriage is not a place for activism. A woman who sees a man as a competitor rather than a complement is a dangerous person to marry. When a man has to contend with a woman every minute, when a man is always too conscious of what to say or do to his wife, then there is a problem.

10.Those who can’t control their temper

Hot-tempered people are dangerous. They can utter anything in anger. They can do things that they will regret for life. They can be violent. Their words can be venomous. They can put you in trouble.

11.Those who cannot forgive

Forgiveness makes us look superhuman. But there are those who cannot forgive, no matter the circumstances. Not only can they not forgive, they can also not forget. Because they can’t forgive, they usually think of how to get revenge.

12.Those who have not been weaned by their parents

Age has little to do with maturity in marriage. Those who have not been “weaned” by their parents make poor marriage partners. They are full of “Mummy said”, “Daddy said”. They take every family discussion to their parents. They cannot do anything unless their parents approve. They allow their parents to run their homes in the name of showing respect to the mother-in-law or father-in-law.

Those who are tied to the apron strings of their parents make marriage tasteless. Such spouses are as a constant source of frustration and sadness. You will always be wrong. You will always be vilified.

In summary, marriage is not a bed of roses. There is nobody without some faults or idiosyncrasies. But it is foolhardy to walk into a landmine with one’s eyes open, praying and hoping that the explosive would not go off.

To avoid heartache, neither blind love nor desperation to get a married should push a bachelor or spinster to jump into a marriage with someone that will cause nothing but pain, sadness, and sorrow.

1.Don’t try to attract every woman, try to attract her. Stop dressing and acting like you’re hot stuff. You know the guy: the one that looks like he just stepped out from doing his test shots with a cheesy modeling agency, the one who gives The Look to every hot girl that walks by. Don’t be thatguy. Yes, women are initially attracted to this. But eventually they think that you’re more interested in attracting women in general, instead of attracting them .

Don’t dress overly flashy and try to focus on wearing things that you know she likes, rather than trying to think about looking how you think women like. You should similarly save the flirting and close conversations for her and not use them with other women.

2 Take care of your body. Taking care of yourself shows her that you can also take care of her, if she ever wants to be taken care of. Practice good hygiene and exercise. You don’t need to worry about losing weight, but you should feel healthy and in shape. Similarly, eat a healthy diet!

3.Dress like you mean business. Dressing poorly by wearing clothes that don’t fit or have stains or holes show a woman that you don’t respect yourself (which doesn’t work in your favor!). Dressing in clothes that are out of date (too old fashioned), usually shows that you are mentally stuck in that time and cannot move forward. In order to show a woman that her heart is safe with you, dress in modern clothes that look good on your body, fit, and are clean.

4 Smell great. Women love someone who smells great. Shower regularly, use deodorant, brush your teeth, and you might
even want to consider using a cologne or body spray. Citrus scents usually make for a clean scent that isn’t overpowering, so they are a good place to start if you’re not sure.

5 Be confident. Confidence is sexy to everyone! Show her how confident you are by taking initiative, never talking poorly of yourself, and speaking up for yourself (with other people too, not just around her).

6. Be yourself. Remember: you are at your best when you are yourself. If a woman truly loves you, she will love you for who you are. When we act like someone we are not, sooner or later we’re not able to keep it up. Even if she would have loved you for who you really are, if she finds out you were faking she will feel lied to and may not love you anymore. Being yourself also helps you maintain your own happiness!

7. Respect her and everyone else. Youprobably know that you should respect her in order to win her heart (if you didn’t, now you know!), but remember that it’s also important to respect other people too. She’ll always worry, if she sees you treating others poorly, if you’ll treat her just as bad if she does something that makes you unhappy or does something else “wrong”. Respect her and others by allowing them to speak and be heard, acknowledging their opinions, never belittling them or treating them as anything other than your equal, neverlie to them, and never saying cruel things about or to them. Basically, be nice and polite!

8. Be passionate. You should be passionate in your relationship but you should also be passionate in your life. Being around someone passionate helps us to be more passionate and engaged in our own life, so we are naturally drawn to people like this and want them in our life more. Be passionate in your life by exploring and celebrating the things that make you happy and unique, without worrying about what
others think.

9. Bring the fun! Similarly to how we look for passionate people in our lives, we also like being with someone who makes our life
more fun. If you can bring the fun into her life by finding great things to do and new avenues to explore, then she’ll be completely in love.

10. Prioritize like a pro. Women have it a bit harder in life than guys. Most social systems put women at a disadvantage (they make less money than men, for example), and so they need a life partner that can help them in life, not make things even harder. If you want to win her heart, show her you’re not going to be a burden. Have a strong work ethic, help her out when you can, and show her that you value her over other women. One good way to show her that she is your number one priority is to not be bashful about letting people know that she’s with you and that you love her! Another way to show her that she is your priority is to make sure that you actually spend time with her! Don’t make her feel guilty about taking up your time and show her how much fun you’re having while you’re with her.Be financially stable and maintain a job. It doesn’t have to be a good one. Women will overlook a bad paycheck if they know they can rely on you and
don’t have to worry about what you do with that paycheck.
11. Give unexpected, targeted gifts. Yes, gifts are a good way to win a woman’s heart, but not just any gift will do. Gifts should show that you care and that you specifically care for her. You don’t want to give a gift that could be just as nice for your ex-girlfriend or your sister. Give a gift that is significant to her. Try giving her something in her favorite color, something she said she wanted or needed, or (best of all) something that reminds you of significant moments that you’ve had together or inside jokes that you share.

12. Ask her for advice and take it. Women, like anyone, want to feel useful. They want to feel like they serve a purpose, especially to
people that they care about. Let her be and feel useful by asking her for advice about problems that you have in your life.Importantly, you should take her advice and let her see that you’ve taken her advice.

13. Really know her. Know her for who she really is, not just who you want her to be or the face that she puts on for everyday life.
Talk to her about things that matter and find ways to show her that you get her. For example, buy tickets to a play that you don’t care about but that you know she really wants to see.

In fact, there are certain plausible advantages of getting married at a younger age. The belief that early marriage comes as a burden and an incomprehensible commitment, is not really a standard that applies to all.
So, here are some reasons that explain why marrying early can be a good decision.

#1. The perfect age saga
Marriage is more about the ‘perfect person’ than the ‘perfect age’. Many argue on the necessity of being prepared for marriage. But in reality, you can never be prepared for it whether you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s.

So, if you find your prince charming or dream girl at an early age, then there is no point actually waiting for long to get married. It is all about spending the beautiful moments of your life with the person you love. So, think about finding the right person rather than waiting for the right time to arrive.

#2. You get more quality time with each other
The young couples usually do not have the pressure of achieving parenthood immediately after their marriage. In fact, they get enough time to know and understand each other before the biological clock starts ticking. So, when you get married early, you have a lot of time on your hands before you indulge into family planning or saving money for future.

You can enjoy your life with your partner without worrying much about these things. You can see the world together and steer your life the way you want it.

#3. More harmonious relationship
You are more likely to be a companion and a friend to your partner rather than just being a husband or a wife. While you would be learning to live life as adults, you would be more flexible with each other and more open to compromise.

Also, you will have enough time to adjust with each other’s temperament, and understand one another before you delve into more serious and deeper responsibilities of life. This way, you are likely to be more compatible than the couples who get married late.

#4. More lovemaking time
You will get to experience those beautiful moments of cosy lovemaking with your partner more frequently as compared to those who get married late. It surely will help you to feel strongly connected with your partner emotionally as well as physically.

And since you do not have the pressure of having kids right after your marriage, there is ample time to thoroughly enjoy this time with each other. Also, many researches show that after having kids, the couples usually experience a dip in their lovemaking activities due to reasons like low energy, lack of time etc.

#5. Sharing each milestone
The milestone of achieving parenthood is of course one thing, which every couple experiences together. But when you marry early, there is a lot more that you achieve as well as celebrate together.

Whether it is buying your first car, moving in to your own home, achieving success in career- the happiness increases manifold when you have a partner by your side to share these amazing experiences of life.

#6. Being a great parent
As you would have spent so much time together, you are expected to share a really strong bond with each other. This level of understanding between the two of you is one of the key requirements of being a great parent.

When you attain parenthood in your twenties, you are all the more excited as well as energetic to spend time with your child. On the other hand as you grow old, you might be burdened with issues like financial well-being of your family or your own health. This will take away the time from you to be with your child. Furthermore, seeing your child become independent before you retire is an achievement in itself.
While you become a proud parent at the right time, do not let it take away the charm from your married life. Here are 5 Ways to Spice Up Your Marriage after Kids

#7. A second chance
Although this is not at all desirable, but if at all things go terribly wrong in marriage, the younger couples get a slightly better chance to bring everything back on track. Since they would have already shared many ups and downs together, they would know how to handle each other during tough times.

Surely, an early marriage is no recipe for success. But, it is necessary to understand the nuances of a marriage to make it an accomplishment. Getting married by mid-twenties is a great option and with the above reasons, we hope you know why.

It’s been over three weeks since Nigeria’s armed forces decided to seriously engage the insurgency in the Northeast of the country. Reportedly, the military has made some strides against Boko Haram so much so that Abubakar Shekau was compelled to seek the assistance of his ISIS colleagues based in the middle east by way of paying allegiance through his twitter account. Though this recent move by Nigeria’s terrorism czar has evoked fear among Nigerians, one is compelled to take a swipe at President Jonathan’s tactics in the entire military operation against BH.

It’s no more news that the fight against BH has seen the coalition of three African countries, namely, Chad, Cameroon and Niger,  in terms of military involvement. Leading in this coalition is Chad.

One would have thought that this coalition was masterminded by Nigeria’s president but the reports in the news, if they are anything to go by, suggest otherwise. Chad’s president is seen to be saying that he masterminded it. Between these three, who should have been in the lead? Let’s take a look at three instances where President Idriss Deby is vindicated.

Besides, at the early stage of this current six weeks operation by the Nigeria’s military it was alleged that part of the brief of the army was to apprehend BH’s Shekau alive, I remember positing that this was another farce by Jonathan, and true to type, I was vindicated.

If you recall, the Chadian president had announced to the world that he knew where Shekau was hiding, and had even dared him to surrender or risk being killed. Later, this same president accused Nigeria’s military of allowing Abubakar Shekau to escape unhurt away from his hiding place. The Chadian military must have provided intelligence to Nigeria but, instead of acting on the intelligence, they acted against it. What insinuations does this incite?

Again, about two days ago, it was reported in the news how a Chadian general was complaining  that Nigeria’s military refused them entry into their territory to continue their victory over Boko Haram. Why was this? I cannot really figure out. Was it out of pride or was it an attempt to collude with Boko Haram kingpins to give them safe landing? Finally, President Jonathan had six years to address the insurgency but blatantly refused to act, now he wants to do that in six weeks to the schedule of a presidential elections after the previous date was cancelled by force!!

In view of all these negative moments in the fight against BH, how realistic is the promise by President Jonathan that Abubakar Shekau is going to be caught alive?

No doubt there are gains against BH by the military; but the question is, which military – Nigeria’s or Chad’s? Or, which Commander-in-Chief -Nigeria’s Jonathan or Chad’s Deby(leading the other two)? The answer is left to you to produce, for I am compelled to think that ours is a tale of one country but two commanders-in-chief!

The presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed outrage and grief at the latest terrorist suicide bomb attacks in Maiduguri, which left at least 54 innocent people dead.

In a condolence message he issued in Abuja on Monday through his media campaign committee, General Buhari said the frequency with which terrorists destroy lives and property embarrassed him beyond measure, and that tackling such indiscriminate violence would be on top of priorities once elected into office.

According to him, terrorist violence has achieved nothing good for anybody and that his administration would confront this insecurity problem with determination and remarkable zeal.

The APC presidential candidate explained that nothing can justify this endless and brutal terrorist violence targeted at innocent people, which has also destroyed the economic and social life of the people in areas where terrorists are notoriously active.

General Muhammadu Buhari, however, called for increased vigilance among the people. He said the ease with which suicide bombers blend with law-abiding citizens and reach their targets undetected is disturbing.

He explained that majority of the people have no idea about the features and characteristics of suicide bombers, and cannot, therefore, identify such killers in their company.

The statement extended Buhari’s condolences to the families of the victims of the latest terrorist attacks on Maiduguri.

General Buhari has also condoled the families of the recent violence in Rivers State in which some unidentified gunmen attacked and killed APC supporter in the state. He said violence benefits nobody and, instead, it sets back the progress of the country.
