Spirit behind Talent discovery  by 

Salmi Babatunde Dauda

WHAT IS TALENT?

Talent is God's gift I.e free gift of nature, giving to every individual on earth. No matter who you are, where you live, where you have been, or what you do, you must have at least one particular thing, you love doing and you are doing it well. 

Most people discover their talent at early stage of their life but the problem about this discovered talent is the individual not yet discover die to the individual reaction toward this talent discovered. 

SUPREMACY OF DISCOVERED TALENT

People who got talent about a particular act, find it more easier to execute and are better at it than those that learn about such act. This is because, they can do it in different ways and still arrive or result in what they really intended it to be. 

One more thing about those that got the talent is that, you will be impressed by their actions and the way they execute it and you will feel like "wow! How did he/she did that?" You will feel surprise because it look amazing and mostly look impossible in a normal sense.

Those that take much of their time to be good or practice to so such act will also impress you too but you will surely can tell who got the talent between them. The differences will always be there to differentiate them. 

Talent is priceless as it has no price tag. You can't buy talent but you can pay for it ( you can never buy talent from anybody, but paying those talented people to display what they got is very possible). It is a free gift if nature which can be inherented from parent. You are born with it and it will surely be there for you whenever you want to use it.

Talent work with the brain as it  deals with your way of thinking, your brain quickly react to any action you want to carry out related to the talent you are blessed with.That's what make it more easier and most time accurately to carry out those activities.

As an engineer, you may be talented in the field of survey even without learning it . 

HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH TALENT WE HAVE GOTTEN? 

This is very simple and complex, but we will try as much as possible to let you know the fact that you need to hold about the discovered talent. 

You know know what you love doing and you are happy or get excited when doing it I.e what you do most time and you never regret taking those actions or doing it. 

Maybe you love singing and it is not just because you love listening to peoples songs or you like a particular artist. This has to do with singing your own song in a way that you find easier and meaningful to yourself. You get the best out of yourself and the listeners tell if it is good or not good. You just have to brand it to your own taste. If it is football, entertainment, social activities, technology, and many others, their should be a style of which you love and find more easier to execute. After which you know this, then , you have to work on it.

Sometimes you find out that you make people laugh and smile when you speak or give speech, that means you are onto comedy line. Any which way you find yourself, you should know that's the talent you are blessed with. 

As an engineer, you may be talented in footballing, Don't quit.

WHY ARE SOME TALENTED PEOPLE NOT YET DISCOVER?

This is a very serious question that needed to be treated with care and understanding. Whereas it should be seen from individual perspective view.

In thus article, we will discuss about five (5) factors that can affect the discovery of talented people in our environment. They are mention below

1. Discovery of oneself

2. Environment

3. Support

4. Opportunity

5. Sponsorship

Discovery Of oneself

This is the most important factor that give birth to other factors and if this is not discovered, others are not to be talk about or mention. 

If the individual has not discover that talent he or she has gotten, it will affect the discovery of such talented person. The first and most essential part of getting discovered is discovering of oneself. If you could not or have not discovered yourself, it is not possible and will not be easy for people to know what talent you have gotten. You need to know yourself and most especially  broadcast that talent you have gotten before people can know about what you have gotten to deliver to the people around you. Nobody will discover you unless you discover yourself and it is very important to discover oneself.

Environment

Environment is another factor that affect talent discovery of a relented person in our community. If you live in a local area or uncivilized environment, the percentage of getting discovered around the world is very low to this living in the city with more population of people . 

If you can display what talent you have gotten to only the people in your vicinity, that means your talent is going no where. 

Let take Nigeria for example, the only place where you can be more successful with any talent you must have gotten is Lagos State. There , you have the riches and the poor and also the average people of different grades. Most of the celebrities of nowadays live in Lagos State. Some discovered there talent out side Lagos but still find a way to Lagos state so that they can make more people know about the talent they have gotten. The internet has help most of the talented people to be discover easily without walking here and there. Though, most people are now with phones but the discovery is only those on the internet. Technology has some flaws as well where some of the videos we watch may have been edited before posting online there will be requirement for see this talented person to display it in the presence of all. 

SUPPORT

This is another factor that needed to be accomplish before you can be discovered. You may have discover yourself, stay in a good environment but if you have no support from the people around you, you are going no where. There is a saying and I quote " Charity begin at home". If your own people didn't support your movement, it won't be as easy as that to be discover. 

For example, you have got the talent of technology, and you have the knowledge of building an aeroplane, if you don't have the support from people to get all the materials needed , then you can't execute the project. It will only be known to you. There won't be chance to showcase your talent. Or you are a footballer that is very good in playing but you could not go to the field to display your talent , the talent will be in you but not for the people that needed it. 

Opportunity

"Once Opportunity is lost, it can never be regain." If you got any talent and you couldn't attend any occasions, seminar, programmes or shows that needed you to showcase you talent, you have only gotten the talent but not use on what it suppose to be use for. A singer need to go to party to perform on the stage of the party, footballer need to play on the football pitch to be discovered, Dancers need to dance at different occasions to be discovered, technologist need to have attended many shows where the talent are needed to be discovered. 

Opportunity play a very important role in the life of any talented person, in such a way that it make you more famous than before. 

Opportunity shouldn't be misuse, or misinterpreted because you never can tell who is watching you at that particular time and if it will ever happen again.

Sponsorship

Many talented people has gotten all the factors mentioned above but still lack the aspect of sponsorship. 

A sonsorer may take the responsibility of the talented person in other to motivate him or her to do more. 

Conclusion and motivation

If you have not discovered yourself, it is never too late, start thinking about what you love doing and you do to the best satisfactory of your choice. If it is singing, motivational speaker, career talk, footballer, table tenni, boxing etc. You should try to work on it. Don't relent or step aside because of any difficulties you must have encountered. 

Why Kwara State Government Shutdown ASA Investments Limited.

Kwara to build New Secretariat Complex in 2020

•As Govt reclaims land for civil service clinic

Ownership of the land bordering the Civil Service Clinic in Ilorin has officially reverted to Kwara State Government, a statement said on Friday, adding that a new secretariat complex will now be erected on the land next year.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Rafiu Ajakaye said in the statement that the land was originally meant for Government Secretariat and parking space of the Civil Service Clinic but was unlawfully allocated to a private firm Asa Investments Limited without any record of payment to the state government.

No certificate of occupancy was ever issued in favour of the firm, the statement added.

Government itself had bought the land to house the civil service clinic, its parking space, and a secretariat.

The statement said the government has now made provisions for the secretariat in the 2020 budget, although its construction will spill over to 2021.

“Hundreds of civil servants still operate from rented apartments at a huge cost to the government. The new secretariat, once completed in 2021, will definitely go a long way to end this unhealthy trend as well as provide a more conducive and decent working environment for government workers,” the statement added.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has signed a constitutional instrument withdrawing the allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 to the firm, asserting that the said land was unlawfully appropriated contrary to the purpose for which it was meant.

The Governor’s decision followed a resolution of the State House of Assembly urging him to reclaim the land because it was arbitrarily taken over in the 1990s without any evidence of payment by the Asa Investment Limited, even though the land was meant for public use. 

The Governor noted in the revocation order that the land was originally meant for the construction of another phase of the Kwara State Civil Service Secretariat and a parking space for both the civil service clinic and the Secretariat.

The revocation order read: “In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) 1999 and Section 1 and 28 of the Land Use Act Cap. L.5 of 2004 and all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Governor of Kwara State of Nigeria, give the following notice:

“The Notice may be cited as the Land Use (Revocation of Right of Occupancy and withdrawal of allocation) Notice , 2019.

“Allocation of plots of land 1, 3 and 5 TPS/MISC 129 to Asa Investment (Nig) Ltd. which is meant for the Kwara State Secretariat. The land, specifically and more described in survey No. KwSH 927 and Land/G1071 situated and lying beside Civil Service Clinic along Ilofa Road Ilorin, Kwara State, is hereby revoked and withdrawn for overriding public interest for use of the purpose it is originally meant for:

“The construction of Kwara State Secretariat; parking space for civil service clinic and the Kwara State Secretariat and annex to the Civil Service when upgraded to a hospital.

“That the plots allocated are hereby declared void. Notice is therefore given to you, Asa Investments Nigeria Limited, that the plots of land 1,3 and 5 TPS/MISC 129 allocated to you and any title on the land whatsoever are hereby revoked and the allocation is withdrawn for overriding public interest.”

Why Kwara State Government Denied Starboy Wizkid

Kwara Govt not behind WhizKid concert — AbdulRazaq 

• Says infrastructure, enterprise, innovation key to devt

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday denied that the government was behind the popular musical concert that featured pop star WhizKid in Ilorin, adding however that the event was a welcome development and could be a springboard to promote entertainment and get local talents hooked to other talents from outside the state.

He laughed off claims that the administration spent N200m to organise an end of the year party, saying those behind the claims were the people who brought the state to its knees and thought everyone was like them. 

“The WhizKid concert was not sponsored or funded by the state government. It was purely a private sector initiative,” the Governor said in his remarks at the public presentation of a pictorial compendium of the appalling state of infrastructures and social amenities across every sector in Kwara.

“We however would continue to support such enterprising initiatives so that Kwara can better tap into the potentials in the entertainment and creative industry. Ours is to provide the enabling environment for such initiatives. Those who said we spent N50m to bring WhizKid also said we spent N200m on the end of the year party. They also said I bought bulletproof cars. These are laughable claims.

“Their strategy is to say that we are like them and tar us with the same brush. We are not. We are prudent with public resources. As at today, I still drive my personal cars as official cars. I bought them before I was sworn in. Although the law allows me to buy such vehicles, it is not a priority for me. We need to fix our state first.”

Stressing the need to grow the entertainment industry and empower talented youths, AbdulRazaq said he requested a meeting with WhizKid in his house yesterday where he sought a partnership to empower local talents especially the Kwara Idol and other programmes that have grown the creative industry.

The event, which was attended by House of Assembly Speaker Yakubu Danladi Salihu, cabinet members, civil society organisations, scholars and community leaders, was organised by Kwara Development Trackers (KDT), a nonprofit platform of apolitical Kwarans who are driven by the need to urgently fix the huge infrastructure deficits in the state as captured in the compendium. 

AbdulRazaq said the compendium was a challenge for him to deliver more to the people, noting that the rot he met on the ground has forced the administration to rethink his campaign manifesto in line with the current realities.

The Governor said his strategy for a better Kwara included putting in place the necessary infrastructure to attract investment, such as massive rehabilitation of schools and health centres, engaging and training the necessary manpower, and making the state a hub for innovation and enterprise. 

KDT Convener Barrister Muritala Sambo said the compendium was put together to point up the infrastructural needs of the state.

“This is done with to provide the new government and the people of Kwara State with an encyclopaedic information of people’s needs and the state of development across the state,” he added, warning that the effort was not to rubbish anyone but to set the record straight and challenge the new government.

Ahmad Moyosore, who represented Professor AbdulRasheed Na’Allah as the guest speaker, said fixing the state requires the collaboration of all stakeholders like the government, civil society organisations, development partners, and philanthropists.

FALANA REPLIES GARBA SHEHU

RE: STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

The third term agenda for President Muhammadu Buhari kicked off on September 21,  2019  under the auspices of "Movement For the Approval Of Buhari Third Term." The members of the group who launched the campaign in Abuja were not harrassed  by the Police or the State Security Service. The Presidency did not deem it fit to disown or dissociate itself from  the campaign. 

However, following the popular rejection of the campaign the Presidency issued a statement on October 2, 2019 to "correct internet-based gossip and un-informed media commentary regarding presidential term limits, given credence by so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term." In rejecting  the pressure of the "so called support groups", President Buhari   stated last month that 

But shortly after the official denial of the thrd term agenda, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Charles Enya filed suit no. FHC/AI/CS/90/19 at  the Federal High Court in Abakiliki praying for the amendment of section 137(1) (b) and 182 (1) (b) of the Nigerian Constitution to allow for a third term for the President and the state Governors. In succumbing to public pressure to drop the suit Mr. Enya announced in court that he had decided to discontinue the matter to allow for "further consultations". The APC which had threatened to sanction Mr. Enya for filing the suit has since maintained sealed lips! It is pertinent to recall that after the dismissal of Mr. Enya's suit, a bill for a 6-year single term of office for the President and the 36 state governors was sponsored by a member of the APC in the House of Representatives. In order not to promote the third term agenda through the back door the bill was unanimously rejected by the House members.

Notwithstanding the official denial of the third term agenda the Buhari regime has since intensified its campaign for the emasculation of the opposition and constriction of the democratic space. This has been manifested in the subversion of the rule of law through disobedience of court orders, sponsoring of anti media bills and reckless arrest, detention  and prosecution of the perceived enemies of the federal government. Peaceful meetings and rallies against unpopular policies of the government are violently suppressed while crowds are rented to attack groups and citizens who challenge  authoritarian rule in the land. Yesterday, armed thugs unleashed violence on peaceful protesters at Abuja with the connivanve of a detachment of the Nigeria Police Force. One of the leaders of the protesters, Mr. Deji Adeyanju who was severely injured by the thugs has been hospitalised. Up till now, no arrest has been made by the Police. 

Since this is the route that has been followed  to pave way for the third term agenda of incumbent Presidents in Guinea, Togo and Cote d'Ivoire, I was compelled to urge Nigerians not to dismiss the campaign of the "so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term." The Presidency has decided to attack me for challenging the support groups and APC leaders  that are behind the third term campaign. Even though the campaigners are well known  to the security agencies they have not being attacked by the Presidency. 

However, for filing suits in the courts to challenge official  impunity I have been accused of engaging in judicial blackmail by sponsored agents of the State. By now, I expect the Presidency to have realised that I have been as constant as the northern star in the defence of human rights, democracy and rule of law. In 1992, my colleagues and I fought the "hidden agenda" for the tenure extension of military President Ibrahim Babangida. We were charged with treasonable felony. The case was however struck out in our favour. 

We fought the plan of the late General Sani Abacha to metamorphose from a military dictator to a civilian President through the manipulation of a discredited political transition programme. Some of us were detained for 10 months without  trial. In 2006, I was also involved in the campaign against the third term agenda of  President Olusegun Obasanjo. Like now, I was accused of spreading false rumours!

Finally, in denying the third term agenda President Buhari said that he "can afford to be reckless". Since we are not a conquered people we are not going to allow the President to be reckless in the exercise of his powers in so far as as they are limited by the Constitution!

Dahood-The best of your kind

By 

Salami Babatunde Dauda

The best of your kind are not always illuminated (Not what you can see easily or in a flashy light). 

They are not what you can see always. 

Lady Theresa said and I quote " you can't do what I can do, neither can I do what you can do, but togetherness, we can achieve greater things" 

Many people fall in the victim of finding the best of their kind but later realize that no two persons are created with the same attitude, affection, behaviour, character and many more. You can never see anyone of your type but there is tendency to meet people who will have some of the qualities you have but they can't have all of your qualities. 

Everybody has their bad and good behavior, everybody has positivities and negativities, everybody has prone and cons, and that's why no one is perfect except our creator (Almighty God).

Check those around you today, the ones you love most will also have some attitudes you don't tolerate or like about them.

Check the ones you dislike, they will have some attitudes you love about them too. 

We always said , we don't like Satan, but we obey Satan than God.

He (Satan) asked God for power to control human in his capacity, we all want that  too but it may not be in that way. Our Kings, presidents, Governors, Prime ministers, Military Rulers etc all want this power too and even most especially you. 

It is very clear that you can't see anyone of your type , you just have to play along, you just have to pretend as if nothing went wrong. We need to make  more friends not more enemies. 

Lady Theresa said " The world if full of good people, if you cannot find one, be one" 

We don't need to keep searching for the good people around us, let it begin with us and with time, it will circulate around the world. We will see good people of our kind but not of all qualities we have. Let come together and make things work out.

People changes every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, and every year. But don't let your good doing change, people will talk trashes against you, people will blackmail you, they will backbite you, keep your head up and walk towards grateness because that's where you belong. Believe in yourself because you will succeed one day .

No one has the same qualities as you

Be optimistic not pessimistic

This was the press released after the trending news that the ex SUG president Com. Oba O.A called to the attention of the current Kwara State governor his excellency Mallam Abdul Rahman Abdul Razaq on the issue of election of new SUG president and other subordinates which was tagged with caretaker taking over the post. 

N.B

 SUG 2018/2019 Led by Comr.Oba O.A is not the writer of the rumor tagged with my photo but never against the agitation of present students. Also,I don't  have any right to fight the management

  Different news/rumors have been going rampant on social media about ex-SUGpresident's involvement on election/DSS/caretakers.

 I Comr.Engr.Oba O.A hereby declare to the public that;

1.I don't know anything about the writeup tagged with the photo of the meeting we had with His Excellency weeks ago concerning SUGelection. The management has pledged to fast track the election process which I believe it will be done. 

2. I don't know anything about the  caretaker appointed by management. As a Matter of fact,I don't  know the students appointed till now

3.I don't know about students agitation on convocation day. As a matter of fact I was in CAMP as Nigeria Corp member on the  day before convocation lecture not to talk of convocation ceremony day.

4.No report or press release came from me to government about Kwarapoly Directorate of students service/SUGelection/caretaker.

The sudden meeting we were summoned by His Excellency last month was all about Hostel,Sch.fee ,lack of academic staff,consideration of expelled students and Students' welfarism.

   All I know about what is happening is that,we agitated to have convocation before NYSC and Fmr. A.g Rector approved it.Election too which he promised to look in to it.Also SUG due,he pledge his supports. All thanks to him. Now,that he handed over to my Alma mata's newly appointed Rector "Dr.Engr.  Abdul Mohammed" I believe that Kwarapoly will change for better soon than he met it...

I hereby appeal to the Management(DSS) to please  fast track SUGelection as stated in the constitution

Lastly, I never wish to go against wish of my Directorate Of Students Services in support of students interest  from the onset,but I realized that Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown At the end we achieved some of our agitations.

 My dearest incoming student leaders,SUG 2018/2019 didn't record any physical protest but dialogue. Please let have it in mind that, Kwarapoly has been recording,maintaining and sustaining peace,academic calendar and harmony for years,let us avoid all acts of violence and intolerance.Things will come back to position

WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL SUCCESSOR?

BY SALAMI BABATUNDE DAUDA

We see most celebrities claiming that they are successful when they have more followers. President claim they are successful when they are elected. Managers claim they are successful after winning and completing a project.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHO ARE SUCCESSOR?

Firstly, we need to know who are the successor. Successor are the ones who claim a position after which someone has left the post, either direct or indirect.

The prince is the successor to the king after the king has been declared dead and he emerge as the new king. But none of them is successful yet. This is the same as all other aspect of leadership in life. We all know that no one lives forever as one have to die once and forever. Some post may be held for some months or years and new people will be imposed or elected to continue the administration. 

WHEN ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL? 

You can only be successful not only when your children, siblings, friends or family emerge your position whether you are dead or alive but when all your legacy laid is still being practiced and you are always remembered by your followers. When you successfully inculcate some act in your followers and they can refer back that you taught them this or that. When your name is never forgotten for no reasons.

Most of the successful great men and women are the ones we either know or read about them and from those things we read about them we are able to have an imagination of how they live their life. We were able to tell others about them even when they are no more. Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W), Jesus Christ and many other men of God are successful that's why we talk about them today. They inculcate the act of worshiping God in us and that's what we have been doing even after we couldn't see them again. We talked about some the past leaders in Nigeria and other countries and we are able to learn from their past good and mistakes. These people are said to be successful because we can talk about them today. Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, Archimedes, Henry Fayol, Barack Obama, Obafemi Awolowo, Fela Kuti, Gaddafi , Nelson Mandela and many more.

CAN WE LOSS THE TITLE "SUCCESSFUL"?

You may loss that word successful easily without stress. Osama bin ladin is and was well known as a terrorist. His actions cannot be forgotten till date. But he loss the title successful because he was insulged in killing and bad act. Nobody talk good about him today. If  anyone is as popular as him (Osama) today in good act. The person will be among the most successful successor in the world. But today his popularity has no value because nobody want to train their children like him. Though we have other terrorists around the world but no good parent will pray for their children to indulge in such act. That's why we considered them as not being successful.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

Of course YES, everybody love to be remembered after which they are no more just like the ones mentioned above. 

If we want to be remembered, then we need to start doing things that will make the world never forget us again. Nelson Mandela is a successful president as everybody talk good about him. And most parent want their children to be like or greater than him. 

It is a must for everyone to be successful irrespective of where you are coming from, irrespective of what you are going through.

Chelsea denied Arsenal a route into the Champions League with a convincing Europa League final victory over their Premier League rivals.

Eden Hazard's brace helped Maurizio Sarri claim his first major trophy as Chelsea crushed Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final in Baku on Wednesday.

In perhaps his final appearance before a mooted move to Real Madrid, star man Hazard struck two second half goals to confirm Chelsea's second triumph in six seasons in this competition.

Olivier Giroud sparked the landslide against his former employers in the 49th minute before Pedro put a second past retiring Gunners goalkeeper Petr Cech.

OBJ Escaped Plane Crash In Lagos

Disaster was averted at Murtala Mohammed International Airport on Wednesday, May 29, as 393 passengers, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, escaped air crash, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Other prominent Nigerians in the Ethiopian airline passenger aircraft, Boeing 777-300, included the Director General of Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) Ambassador Ayoola Olukanni.

Also in the plane was Prof Samson Tunde Adebayo, the Director of Ports Inspection, National Agency For Food And Drug Administration And Control (NAFDAC) as well as scores of Nigerians and other nationals.

The passenger aircraft, ET-901, had departed the Bole International Airport, Addis Ababa, at about 9:10 a.m., Ethiopian time; 7 a.m Nigerian time.

A NAN correspondent, who was among the passengers, recalled that the almost 5-hour flight from the Ethiopian capital to Lagos had been smooth until the pilot attempted to land at the Murtala Mohammed International airport.

Rather than landing on the first touch line of the runway, the pilot over short it, due to rain and heavy wind, landing on the third touchline.

NAN reports that, on realising this, the pilot quickly manouvered the plane back air, flying out of the Lagos airport.

After hovering around between Lagos and areas suspected to be in Ogun, causing panic in passengers and crew members, the plane landed in Lagos airport, some 20 minutes after the initial false landing.

The atmosphere in the air bus upon landing was replica of what is obtainable in some Nigerian worship centers, as many passengers broke out into worship songs and clapping, while some fell to their knees in prayer.

The duty manager and Chief Customer Service (Nigeria) of the airline, Mr Otori Jimoh Otan, told NAN that if the pilot had continued taxing down after landing on the third touch line, he would have overshot the runway.

“But this is an experienced pilot. He realised this immediately.

“Fortunately, the distance between when he realised the situation still permitted him to take off and renegotiate landing,” Otori said.

He added that the incident was not out of place, while confirming that the wind obscured the pilot’s vision.

Otori also disclosed that most of the aircrafts that flew out of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport had to fly against the mid day heavy wind.

“These things happen. That is where the sophistication of the aircraft and experience of the cabin crew members come in.

“The aircraft is one of the best you can have around and we are fortunate to have pilots who know their onions ” he said.

Recall that Obasanjo and Olukanni had both attended a Stakeholders Dialogue on Continental Trade and Strengthening Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which ended on Tuesday in Addis Ababa.

Messi Couldn't Make The First XI European Squad

Lionel Messi recently won the European Golden Shoe after scoring 36 La Liga goals in 38 games, but couldn’t make it into the best XI from Europe’s top 5 leagues ahead of arch rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi has enjoyed a stellar season with Barcelona, scoring a whooping 51 goals and assisting 22 more in just 50 appearances, with 36 goals and 15 assists coming in 34 La Liga games as the club cantered to their second successive League title.

However, despite those ridiculous numbers and having accrued a rating of 8.4 on the site, Lionel Messi missed out on making the best XI in Europe’s top 5 leagues on WhoScored’s site.

Nicolas Pepe from Lille and Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus instead made the cut, in the positions Lionel Messi was likely to feature in.

Ronaldo picked up the Best Player award in Serie A for his hand in guiding Juventus to their eight straight Scudetto, but only managed 21 goals and 11 assists in 31 league appearances.

Nicolas Pepe, on the other hand, has engendered the interest of many top European clubs after a breakout season for Lille, but also only managed 22 goals and 11 assists in 38 games.

Also, Lionel Messi’s seasonal rating of 8.4 on WhoScored is by far the highest among all the players included in the XI, making his omission all the more ridicuous.

Messi React to Antoine Griezmann Signing

Lionel Messi spoke prior to the Copa del Rey final and was asked about Antoine Griezmann joining Barcelona.
Lionel Messi rarely speaks in pregame press conferences. But when he speaks, his words carry weight. Such was the case this time when the Argentine was asked about Antoine Griezmann potentially signing for the Catalan side.

According to Sport, when asked about Griezmann, Messi responded, “We will not give our opinion.”

La reacción de Messi cuando le han preguntado por Griezmann pic.twitter.com/P4cAV7D8fd #fcblive

With that simple sentence, Messi all but put an end to that speculation. The degree of his influence at Barcelona is often overstated by many but this appears to be an occasion where his opinion, or lack thereof, says all anyone needs to know about the Frenchman arriving at Barcelona.

Messi’s refusal to give his opinion gives credence to reports that the Barcelona locker room vetoed the arrival of Griezmann and that he is not well-liked given what happened last summer when they all thought he was joining them. We all know he released a documentary to express that he was staying at Atletico Madrid.

The Argentine’s comments were also a complete 180 of what he and his teammates were saying amidst these same rumors last season. Diario Sport even wrote an article of what was said at that time.

On that occasion, Messi said, “I don’t know if signing him is a priority or not but I am in agreement that to win the Champions League, as we all desire, to win it again we need the best players. Griezmann is one of them and if the club bring him in, great.”

Luis Suarez added, “A player of his quality is always welcome. He’s not coming to take anyone’s place, but with the ambition to win big things.”

Compare what Messi said then to what he said now and it tells someone all they need to know about how Griezmann may be perceived now. It is not very welcoming. It may also be a reason as to why they all still seem to back Philippe Coutinho.

As opposed to Griezmann, Coutinho made no secret that he wanted to play at Barcelona and did all he could to force a move. Despite his struggles, that he was adamant about wanting to join Barcelona and forcing a move, shows the likes of Messi and Suarez his commitment and that he did not tease or relent on his desire for a move.

His comments also come after a supposed meeting between Messi and Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu. One has to assumed that besides discussing about their goals for next season, potential signings must have come up with Bartomeu wanting to know Messi’s opinion on Griezmann.

Okorocha Vows To Become Nigeria President

“Mark it, I will be president of Nigeria. I said this on this altar so that the kingdom of God will rise against those fighting to stop me. “Also, those who think they will put me in prison will go to prison before me.

Rochas Okorocha, the governor of Imo State, has vowed that he will become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come what may.
Okorocha made his conviction public on Sunday during his valedictory thanksgiving service held at the Government House Chapel in Owerri.
He said  that his current political travails, particularly the seizure of his Certificate of Return as the Imo West senator-elect, were only strengthening him for the  exalted  presidential seat in Aso Rock.
The outgoing governor said the wishes of his political adversaries concerning him would not come to pass, saying “those who want me to go to prison will go to prison before me.”

According to him, the elite hated him because he decided to approach the affairs of the state differently.

Describing himself as “the most criticised politician” in the country, Okorocha said that all the ploy to stop him from going to the Senate will fail.

Okorocha said, “I tell you, I am the most criticised person in Nigeria today. I don’t know why the entire elite hate me with cruelty.

“My Senate ambition is still a battle. More than 30 people have joined the suit to fight me. All these, I will overcome.

“They are only preparing me for the glory ahead.”

“Mark it, I will be president of Nigeria. I said this on this altar so that the kingdom of God will rise against those fighting to stop me.

“Also, those who think they will put me in prison will go to prison before me.

“They don’t want me to be at the National Assembly, but I will be there. I know I am the last man standing, but I will not give up.”

He said that 95 percent of Imo indigenes did not understand him and his style of governance.

“Only a few of them later realised that I meant well for the state. I governed the state with passion. I broke protocols and bent the laws, but I never broke laws.

“When I took over the office eight years ago, I wasn’t unmindful that a lot of people will misunderstand me and try to distract me.

“But today, I have left the state better than I met it. I am the architect of the new Imo. I am a satisfied governor.”

Sergio Ramos leaving Real Madrid

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has revealed heartbreaking information to the club after a terrible season that led to the sacking of Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solare and brought back Zinedine Zidane, eight months after his resignation.

Reports coming out of Spain is that Sergio Ramos is considering leaving Real Madrid with offers from the Chinese Super League, Italian Serie A champions Juventus, Manchester United and Liverpool.

The relationship between the defender and Madrid president Florentino Pérez has broken down completely since a huge row after the defeat to Ajax. Sergio Ramos is considering leaving Real Madrid given his current situation at the club, which has been wearing him down, as reported on Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito.

The main problem is a direct conflict between club captain Ramos and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. The two had a huge row in the dressing room after the Champions League defeat to Ajax at the Bernabéu which saw Real Madrid eliminated from the tournament they had won in the three previous seasons.

Ramos didn’t play that night as he was suspended, but when Pérez went down to the dressing room to recriminate with the players over their attitude in the game, the 33-year old defender came out in defence of his fellow team-mates, to which Pérez accused him of taking too many days off.

Ramos’ response: “I’ve given everything, I’ve sweated blood and tears for this badge and for you, but if you want to kick me out, you can pay me up and I’ll go”.

The Real Madrid players believed that the situation would calm down over time, but the relationship between Ramos and Pérez has completely broken down and they barely speak to each other.

Ramos is hurt over critical messages about him coming from within the club, including an insinuation that he took too long to recover from a calf injury, that he failed to help his team-mates enough during the end of the league and that he was thinking far too much about his wedding on 15 June.

All of which has led to the player seriously thinking about his future, which he now feels may be away from Real Madrid. Ramos still has two years left on his Real Madrid contract, which finishes in 2021.

He earns 12.5 million euros net a year, and his buy-out clause is an eye-watering 800 million euros. The player’s inner circle are adamant that Ramos has no issue over money and would not be leaving to try and boost his salary – the problem is entirely about respect, however, given the current market situation the first offers to take him away from Real Madrid have already reached his representatives.

According to this newspaper’s sources, Manchester United (who were keen on the defender before his last contract renewal in 2015) and Liverpool (Klopp would line him up alongside Van Dijk in the best central defence pairing in the world) have both been in touch with Ramos’ representatives.

There has also been a huge offer for him from China, and Juventus too have shown an interest. In fact, the Italian club are the keenest to make a major effort for the player, given that Cristiano Ronaldo has directly asked the Agnelli family to do what they can to sign Ramos.

It should not be forgotten that Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos won four Champions Leagues in five years. Right now, Ramos is enjoying a mini-break before joining up with the Spain squad ahead of the games against the Faroe Islands and Sweden, despite suffering from a calf injury since 12 April. Since then he hasn’t played for Real Madrid, but Spain are still counting on him.
