Without a doubt, Lionel Messi of Barcelona had to be
crowned the Ballon D’or footballer of the year for the 6th time. No player has
ever reached this milestone in the history of football. At 32, the Argentine
looks fit as ever to continue to haul in more laurels in the years to come. Messi
got the higher points against his friendly rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who for
twelve years had shared the award with him. Luka Modric of Real Madrid was the
winner in 2018. With age not on their side, the world may soon begin to see
less of the football masters.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
