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

by Opubo Nengia Esq. and Faith Agbator Esq. INTRODUCTION With the unhindered rise of unemployed youths and graduates, the need for more job creators (in form of entrepreneurs) rather than job seekers cannot be overemphasized. In recognition of this undeniable fact, educational institutions have introduced skill acquisition programs in order to equip students with the necessary skills and the ability to critically think about other innovative sources of income finetune their skills to fruition. 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.

This game turned out to be as expected, with everyone predicting that Man City will finally go top of the league ahead of Arsenal and continue their dominance going forward. It only took City 3 minutes to get the party started, as Fulham’s Tim Ream was negligent in his 18 yard box by tripping Julian Alvarez in the penalty box. Erling Haaland took the penalty and scored from the spot kick.  Once the first blood was drawn, it was City all the way - in control of the majority of the possession and dictating the run of play. City made several attempts to double their lead with multiple attempts from Riyad Mahrez, Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez but eventually, it was Fulham that got the equalizer in the 15 th  minute of the game. The goal came from Vinicius, assisted by Harry Wilson. With that goal making it stalemate, the game was back on. Mancity continued dominating possession; Fulham’s Tim Ream was then injured, taken off and was replaced by Issa Diop. There was also the Jac
