When other politicians are financing their ministerial ambitions and embezzling money!

But I pray the money is duly disbursed to the victims...

Less I forget, we need constant electricity, good roads, jobs, e.t.c in Lagos...

Eko o ni baje...

GOVERNOR Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, on Wednesday, announced a donation of N150 million towards the alleviation of the plight of victims of Boko Haram insurgency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.

He made the presentation of N50 million to each of the states during the maiden National Council of Stat (NCS) meeting of the present administration presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Ambode told members of the council that Lagos was moved by the suffering of victims of Boko Haram activities affecting not only states in the north east, but also other parts of the country.

The governor said his state saw the insurgent activities as traumatic to the people and sympathised with the three northern states mainly affected, noting that the donation was to ameliorate the plight of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the states.

"There is no gainsaying the fact that the emergence of Boko Haram and its devastating activities is a single challenge facing us as a nation. Though, the insurgence is basically limited to the north-eastern part of Nigeria, the effect is felt everywhere across the states of the federation.

"Recently, at the just-concluded 21st National Economic Summit of the National Economic Summit Group (NESG) in Abuja, Secretary to the Government of the Federation presented a graphic and heart-rending report of the extent of damage and social trauma brought about by insurgency in the region.

"Lagos State views insurgency and natural disasters as hardships that leaves traumatic experiences. We commiserate with the three northern states and share the pains and discomfort of our brothers and sisters.

"We also commend our president for the renewed commitment of the Federal Government to bringing insurgency to a logical conclusion by the year end. Our security agencies also deserve commendation for their gallantry, courage and resolve to ensure that the directive of the president and indeed the wish of all Nigerians is achieved.

"Notwithstanding the hard times resulting from the current economic situation, we have resolved to show leadership and compassion to the plight of our brothers and sisters in North-Eastern Nigeria.

"It is therefore in demonstration of our commitment towards bringing succour and relief to thousands of the IDPs that we present this donation of N50 million each to the governments of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

"We use this opportunity to call on all Nigerians including corporate organisations and other public spirited individuals to reach out at this time and alleviate the pains of our compatriots in this part of Nigeria."

[size=16pt]Yaya Toure: I was afraid Messi would embarrass me in front of my family![/size]

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure knows Lionel Messi very well, given he played with the Barcelona star at the Catalan club. Therefore, he's had the chance to play with and against the Argentina international. He's spoke about both in an interview with Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport.

"The best player I have played with is Messi. I'll tell you something, I one heard Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez say that Cristiano Ronaldo works really hard, but Messi is different. Messi is a genius. It's natural. In training he's simple. He's very good with the ball. He's always with the ball, but he never does anything crazy. He's thinking about the game. He's like Sergio Aguero, trying to do everything easy, trying to reserve himself for the game. Also like Carlos Tevez, you worked with him," Toure said to Ferdinand when asked about Messi.

"One thing is what he does in training. In training you think you're going to lose, but after in the game... it's different. You can see the mentality of these guys. They are totally dedicated to the game. In training, they work, learn and try to maintain their form, but for them the game is everything," he added.

When Rio Ferdinand asked him who the best player he's ever faced is, the answer was the same. "Also Messi. We played against [Barça] in the last Champions League. In fact, we've played against them in the last two seasons. Last year in the dressing room he jokingly said he will nutmeg me. I saw him nutmeg two of my team-mates and thought he'd do it to me. Whenever he came near me I screamed inside 'please not me, don't nutmeg me'. I was afraid he'd embarrass me infront of my family."

Let me ask the question that everyone has failed to ask...
How's Gumbau better than Sergi Samper? For the love of round boooty, dude can't even pass the damn ball.
How Gumbau manages to get into the damn match-day squad ahead of Samper is all I don't understand.

Next time Arsene Wenger comes calling, if I were Samper, I won't think twice before I follow Mr Wenger to London.

He caused that 2nd goal...Dude was performing slow-motion...
