Lionel Messi To Overtake Ronaldo As Highest-Paid Footballer

Lionel Messi is set to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo as the highest-paid footballer in the history of football .
According to reports, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are set to make an irresistible offer to Lionel Messi that will make him earn £19 million more than his career rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
Recall that after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo who was without a club after United sacked him in November due to an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, signed a record-breaking deal with Al-Nassr.
The deal reportedly earns the 38-year-old Portuguese legend a whopping £175-million-a-year which is the highest pay for a footballer in the history of the game.
Since he signed the deal, the Portuguese star has scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists in 7 Saudi Pro League matches for Al-Nassr.
Aside from that, his presence in Saudi Arabia has attracted huge attention to the club, the league, and the country at large.
Hence, Al-Hilal, the arch-rivals of Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, are seeking to reciprocate that by signing Lionel Messi who just won the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The 35-year-old Argentine footballer has until this summer before his contract with Paris Saint Germain expires. The French side have been trying to extend Messi’s contract but the negotiations are said not to be going smoothly.
On Wednesday, Daily Mail reported that Jorge, Messi’s father and agent, was spotted in the Saudi capital Riyadh which could imply that the negotiations between Messi and the Saudi side are advancing.
Lionel Messi’s father and agent Jorge spotted in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
The offer on the table for Messi is worth a whopping £194-million-a-year which is unprecedented in the history of football. The Saudi side are pushing to seal the deal ahead of this summer.
If Messi signs the deal, the age-long rivalry between the Argentine attacker and Ronaldo would be ignited. If that happens, Saudi Arabia would be the new Mecca of club football.

Governorship Election: We Did Not Remove Igbo, South-South Names From Election Duties – INEC

INEC

Ahead of the March 18 governorship and House of Assembly elections in Lagos State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed allegations that it removed Igbo and South-South individuals from the list of ad hoc staff.

This comes following rumours circulating on social media that the electoral body in Lagos had removed all personnel from these regions from participating in sensitive election duties on March 18th.

In response, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos State, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, issued a statement on Wednesday evening through the Head of Department, Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Adenike Tadese, refuting the claims as fake news that should be disregarded.

“INEC Lagos State read with great surprise and concern on the social media in respect of the removal of all Igbo and South-South staff in Lagos State from participating as ad hoc staff in the state during the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections on March 18.

“It has become imperative to correct the erroneous accusations in some quarters and put the record straight that the ad hoc staff (collation officers) engaged during the presidential and National Assembly Elections on February 25 in Lagos State were 738 in number, bearing in mind that three elections were held.

“The forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly will only require the services of 427 collation officers because only two elections are involved.

“It is pertinent to state unequivocally that members of staff that are Igbo were all returned to work as collation officers in the forthcoming elections while SPOs (Supervisory Presiding Officers) maintained their positions,” Agbaje said.

Agbaje added that he never had a phone conversation with the ‘Obidients, Sanwo-Olu, and Tinubu’ and emphasized that he did not possess their contact numbers.

He encouraged the public to disregard false news, incorrect information, and deception and to enable INEC in Lagos to concentrate on the upcoming elections to achieve the intended outcomes.

“Whoever has information concerning the day and time of the said telephone conversation should not hesitate to make it public.

“The commission will continue to uphold the fundamental principles of equity, fairness, transparency, credibility and accountability in line with the vision and mission to be a pre-eminent leader in deepening electoral democracy as an unbiased election management body,” he said.

“He’s stepped into stardom on his own terms and is completely comfortable being his true self.”

Balogun revealed that he had planned to bring Def Jam label into the Afrobeats space as soon as be started working at the label in 2022

“Adekunle felt like the perfect fit – he’d already done so much work on his own to build a base, but I knew that we could scale his audience to an even bigger level if we combined our energies and worked together,” he continued.
