The 23-year-old is flourishing in the English top-flight and has explained how frank opinions from close associates have kept him going


Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has attributed his progress to his ability to listen to criticism from his coaches, friends and wife.
The Nigeria international has been in top form since teaming up with the King Power Stadium outfit in 2017 from Belgian side Genk.
Ndidi’s stock has risen very high in the Premier League and he is currently regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the English top-flight.

Reflecting on his success, the Super Eagle praised the people who surround him for their sincere criticism which has helped him to improve on his performances.
“My circle of friends is very small, and they are people who are straight in their assertions. Even at Leicester City, the players, the coaches, and the staff are straight with me,” Ndidi told the Super Eagles media team.
“That alone is like an encouragement to me; they make me understand life in general and how I am performing.
“Kudos also must go to my wife; she is always honest with me as it concerns my game, telling me the right things and I don’t joke with her criticisms because I know she wants me to be a better player and my boss at Leicester too.”
Ndidi has made 111 Premier League appearances since his arrival at King Power Stadium and this season he has played 29 times for the Foxes across all competitions.
The midfielder has consistently ranked among the top three best tacklers in the Premier League and currently ranks third on the list, behind his teammate Ricardo Pereira and Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
His solid performances ensured Leicester’s current third position on the league table, behind leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
Ndidi has also been in excellent form for the Super Eagles and in 2019, he played a key role as Nigeria clinched their eighth bronze medal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The 23-year-old was also one of the standout players as Nigeria defeated the Republic of Benin and Lesotho in their 2021 Afcon qualifying games, which saw them sit atop Group L with six points.
He was part of Gernot Rohr’s team scheduled to face Sierra Leone in their third qualifying game before the match was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The combative midfielder has made 36 appearances f

‘Igbos Are The Most Foolish Tribe In The World – MASSOB Leader, Uwazurike Founder and leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, has described the Igbo tribe as foolish. In a chat with PUNCH, The MASSOB founder insisted that Igbo may not become Nigeria’s president because they only fight for their pocket. He recalled how Igbo was pushed aside after forming the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 1999. He insisted that anyone calling for the unity of Nigeria does not mean well for the already troubled nation. His words, “Remember, it was the Igbo man that formed this PDP but they snatched it from him. Then, it was clear that an Igbo man would be the President of Nigeria. But in Jos, it was the Igbo who robbed themselves of that opportunity. The Igbo at that political event in Jos started speaking Hausa. “The Igbo started sponsoring (Olusegun) Obasanj...

What is wrong with being black? By Matthew Ashimolowo Celebrating our Heritage, Confronting our Challenges Overview When you look  around  you, you could only wonder, “Has it come to this?” Should we begin to think that black people have a peculiarity with problems? In truth, an examination of the lives of black people around the world should answer this bugging question. Even though all human communities; black, white, green or red, are faced with challenges, Matthew Ashimolowo was not being out of place when he asked: “What is wrong with Being Black?” This book is divided into two parts, the first part examines the  glorious  past of the man of colour while the second part analyses the problems that have been peculiar to black people and the causes of such problems.

Why is Self-Esteem important? Self-esteem refers to a person's beliefs about their own worth and value. It also has to do with the feelings people experience that follow from their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. Self-esteem is important because it heavily influences people's choices and decisions. In other words, self-esteem serves a motivational function by making it more or less likely that people will take care of themselves and explore their full potential. People with high self-esteem are also people who are motivated to take care of themselves and to persistently strive towards the fulfillment of personal goals and aspirations. People with lower self-esteem don't tend to regard themselves as worthy of happy outcomes or capable of achieving them and so tend to let important things slide and to be less persistent and  resilient  in terms of overcoming adversity. They may have the same kinds of goals as people with higher self-esteem, but they are generally less m...
