2022 has been a great year. Although, it isn’t over yet. I’m still ready to bask in the goodies the remaining days of the year have to offer. The year started quite normal, although filled with remorseful feelings of not having my favourite person here with me to see the new year. Death sha.
As the year went on, ASUU and FG decided to play a trick on we Nigerian students. The strike started with just a lecture free day, then to be a lecture free week, the 2 weeks of warning strike and boom, we spent close to 8 months at home. It was really draining. I didn’t know know the strike will end up hindering me from doing anything concrete. At first, I started teaching. Then I got bored. I moved on to natural hair styling, I wasn’t getting what I wanted. I delved into Canva designing but I wanted more. I decided to try my hands on engineering. I became a phone repairer and I kept enduring. When the strike was finally called off, I was so excited about leaving the place.
Schools resumed. I travelled back to school and seeing my friends and course mates brought memories. It felt so awesome because we started sharing all we did and how managed ourselves throughout the strike. School’s resumption seemed like an escape route, until the back to back classes started and every week, it seemed like life is being drained out of me.

<h2>Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca has insisted that <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/06/leicester-city-confirm-nature-length-of-wilfred-ndidis-injury/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi</a> is not expected to return to competitive football anytime soon.</h2>
<p>This assertion is contrary to the claims of Wilfred Ndidi who said that he should return to competitive football within the next two weeks.</p>
<p>Recall that Ndidi was one of the players Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro planned to take to the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast. The defensive midfielder was included in Super Eagles' 25-man list but <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/03/jose-peseiro-replaces-wilfred-ndidi-in-super-eagles-2023-afcon-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the player had to withdraw from the squad due to an injury.</a></p>
<p>Ndidi had to undergo surgery to treat the injury and has been out of football since December last year.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the 27-year-old midfielder said:<em> “The injury’s alright, I’m getting there. It’s two weeks post-surgery.</em></p>
<p><em>“Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I’ll be back.”</em></p>
<p>When he was asked to clarify what the two weeks signify, the Nigerian midfielder said, <em>“A couple of weeks to play.”</em></p>
<p>Ahead of Leicester City's FA Cup fourth-round game against Birmingham which ended in an emphatic 3-0 win for coach Maresca earlier today, the manager argued that Ndidi was wrong with his projection.</p>
<p>The 43-year-old Italian tactician stressed that the Nigeria international will stay out of football for more than the weeks the footballer projected.</p>
<p><em>“He didn’t understand ‘a couple of weeks’, that it means two weeks. It’s not weeks", </em>the coach said.</p>
<p><em>“It’s as we said at the beginning, it’s three months, and nothing has changed. But he didn’t understand that couple means two, so this is why he said it.”</em></p>
<p>Note that the contract between Leicester City and Wilfred Ndidi will expire on June 30, 2024, and there is no sign of a contract extension talks at the time of writing.</p>
