Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona to Mancity

-

The Argentine and Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi is really considering  the idea of signing for Manchester City in 2018. What most people thought and still think is impossible might just happen because Manchester City, under the management of Guardiola, have been trying to lure the football maestro to City. 

Although, Messi might feel that he owes Barcelona for standing by him and leading him trough out his career, he also knows that he owes Guardiola even more because he was the one that introduced Messi to the spotlight. Anyways, let's see how it turns out.
'The Sun' says he confided in Argentina team-mates about his future during the international break.
And Messi is torn over signing a new contract at the Nou Camp or beginning a new chapter in his career in Manchester.

Negotiations with Barca have been ongoing for 18 months but the deal remains unsigned.
City officials have met with Messi's representatives on several occasions — making it clear they want him.
The 30-year-old is out of contract at Barca next summer and could sign for City in January and join for free in July.
City are understood to have offered a £40million signing-on fee and a five-year deal worth over £500,000 per week.

There are certain things we've witnessed in Nigeria that has embarrased us but this...this is a National disgrace. Witnessing this happen in Nigeria has got me wondering how secure we are in this country with this level of incompetence from the Nigerian Police. For those of you who don’t know, a 200 level student identified as Ifeanyi Dike confessed to rapping an 8yr old girl and cutting off her body parts, including her vagina, to use for money rituals. The part that has got me ragging is that this young man was caught by vigilantes and then he was handed over to the NIGERIAN POLICE for prosecution. On arriving at the police station, something “funny” happened. He escaped ! Can you imagine that ? Like who would have thought that we had a “Michael Scofield” in Nigeria ? Is this the ‘Prison Break’ movie ? If I was in charge, I would have sacked/punished everyone who was on duty at that time and who’s duty post was incidental to that escape. This is preposterous ! How can

In like manner, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) further embraced the importance of skill acquisition through the emergence of SAED courses/programs taught to Corps Members at their various deployment camps.
