Meanwhile, President Buhari also met with President Talon of Benin Republic.

President Talon had previously announced that he would meet with President Buhari to discuss the closure of the Nigeria-Benin border, which was closed last week during a security operation that is being coordinated by the office of the National Security Adviser.

NTA News has just reported that the Beninoise president discussed the border closure with President Buhari.


President Buhari said that the border was closed because of the activities of smugglers (especially rice smugglers) at the border. He said that their activities threaten the level of self sufficiency that Nigeria has achieved.


President Talon appealed that the border should be reopened because its closure is having a terrible effect on the economy of Benin.

President Buhari said that he will consider reopening the border, but the Nigerian security forces need time to come up with new strategies to curb smuggling before the border is reopened.

The border closure issue is quite serious in Benin. My Beninoise class mate is complaining about it to me like Im Buhari's son or something.

What are their fuckkig names!

compared to Ronaldo.....
Ronaldo is an athlete, model, marketer, novelist and a philanthropist

This is a joke of a response. You said Messi only had influence in the face of LaLiga and not the world which is a very stupiid statement. Then you took it a step further, who here cares if Ronaldo maybe has more value in the world. The dude is the president of LaLiga and he was talking about the heritage of LaLiga. Stop being butthurt and type with sense abeg.

By the way, Ronaldo a novelist? Do you know who a novelist is? As for the rest Messi is also one, An athlete, a model, marketer and Philanthropist.

DesChyko:


Read beyond the headlines, Oga.

What is your problem with my post? Who do you think would go down as the greater LaLiga player, Messi or Ronaldo?

DesChyko:
What a careless statement from a pained La Liga chief.
After Ronaldo's signing was made official, Juventus followers on twitter increased from 5.07 million to 6.1 million. Infact, in just a day, Juve facebook fans increased from 32 million to 33 million on the day he was signed. That La Liga team had kept the UCL 4 out 5 years was mostly down to a team powered by Ronaldo.
And this one is trying to estimate his value in the league. Sorry o.

Story, Messi is more important to LaLiga than Ronaldo. Its common sense.

Pained LA liga presidooo


Anyway, u are 100% entitled to ya bulshit opinion.... Not to the world... Yes messi has value in the face of Spanish LA liga, not the world....
Let messi should goan deliver in Argentina, England or Italy

Messi does not have value in the face of the world. See yourself.

It was but he has a way of redeeming his imagw by winning games thus making it look like the bottling was a fluke.

Its the 2nd time we lost after holding a massive first leg advantage. He should have been sacked after Roma, but its understandable that he stayed. He should not have stayed after Liverpool, at all.

16year old Ansu Fati debuting.... he's not looking scared.

Use ur time to read up stuffs than qouting a post

Read up trash written by Ronaldo fan boys like you? You claimed Messi said Ronaldo is finished, post a link where Messi said that. Imagine taking DonBalon seriously, Joke.

lilbest4:
lol. I'm Real Madrid fan, you know what that means don't you

Yes, your team na boss ...no vex then.

The Copa de Rey prince is back to save the oddly colored club

He has more Champions league titles than your club has in its entire history

Beverlyjean:


Everyone can't b Ronaldo or ibrahimovic....this is one reason y Messi is scared of leaving.... Great players shine thru any light or darkness

So Ibrahimovic is a greater player than Messi?

hardeycute:
Did you missed "380 games"??

Trash, they brought up 5 or 6 incidents on selected games, Did you see their generated table? Read the article.

There is no way Liverpool would have had more points than they gained last season with VAR. If VAR was available City would have won against Wolves, Pool would have ;lost to Spurs and beaten Arsenal.

There were many incidents last year for both sides, but Liverpool sure were luckier.

Im all for VAR, but that report was ridiculous and Im suprised you believed it. I read it last week and knew it was trash.

hardeycute:
What is Justice? It is subjective, the VAR analysed all the 380 matches last season and Liverpool would have win the league with City finishing behind with 2 points.

I like VAR because at the end of the day we have the match officials making a high level of accurate decisions

There is no way City would have finished behind Liverpool if VAR existed last season. That article was trash, so City's game vs Spurs had the only controversial decision last season?

Suarez is injured

Alena ıs out of his depth. Griezmann is not a winger! Suarez should be a squad player by now.

People can argue and all, but this Top 3 is fine.

Beverlyjean:



All trash... U say Messi finished 3rd... With a disastrous tournament , a tournament that other players helped him then he was red carded... Mane had a very good tournament... U can't compare the EPL to la Liga in competitiveness... Liverpool will defeat all those nonsense teams in la Liga... Barca as a whole will not survive the EPL... U think it's by Winning English teams in the EPL.... Winning the UCL is rated higher than winning any league title... Man city only failed to win UCL but their players we're not considered in the top 3 , so Messi best chance is 3rd , that's if he's lucky

Messi had a disastrous tournament? No... He had a goal and an assist while playing deep. Not a good tournament but certainly not disastrous.

What do you mean EPL is more competitve than LaLiga, the league simply didnt have enough quality, City has shown us what quality can do, 100 points followed by 97 points? Where is the competiton? Liverpool last season was one of the luckiest team I have ever seen in my life, yet they didnt win the league.... they just were not good enough.

Winning the UCL is better, but Messi had a better UCL performance than Mane.

Mancity not having any players in the Top 10 is ridiculous dont try to justify it, Bernando or Sterling should have made that list.

Having seen the UEFA Top 3 (Messi, VVD, CR) I think Messi would likely finish 2nd in Balon D'or 'cos CR might make the top 3

Beverlyjean:


Pls stop mentioning Messi... He only won la Liga... A league without competition... Was a disaster in the Copa America...was trashed 4.0 by Liverpool cudnt win Copa del Rey against Valencia.... Only winning la Liga back to back...that ain't significant... It's a usual thing... Mane was better than Messi last season... Just cos he's a black African, they wudnt recognise him... He also took Senegal to the final of the African cup of Nations... Scored both goals for Liverpool tonight... Joint top scorer in the EPL... Despite not playing for the best team in the EPL... unlike Messi that plays for the best team in la Liga by miles

Before tonight the only thing Mane had ahead of Messi was winning the UCL in which he scored 4 goalscompared to Messi's 12 goals. Messi had more goals, assists, MOTM awards and on paper the better tournament.

He won the Premier league highest goal scorer while Messi was not only won Laligas golden boot, he also won Laligas the golden ball and the European golden boot


Copa Del Rey? Ok,,,,

Mane got knocked out of the FA cup around the third round,

knocked out of the Carling cup,

beaten in the Community Shield,

Lost the EPL despite being about 9 points ahead,

didnt stand out in the AFCON where he finished 2nd, Messi finished 3rd in the Tournament that is better rated,.

VVD should win it, Messi 2nd, Alison or Mane( I admittedly underated him) 3rd

LordAdamX:


The difference maker for Liverpool who is also in the Balon D'Or top 10 shortlist is VVD.

Mane, Firmino, and Salah were no where to be found in the Remontada, but VVD was the Rock at the back. The only other person who had a better season than VVD is Alisson; but he didn't make the shortlist.

-Lord

Mane was no where to be found during the 4-0 win at Anfield? LOL.....Every Liverpool player turned up that night only. Only Milner and Shaq were a bit average.

VVD would win the Balon D'or, Deservedly.
Firminho won more important titles for his team while being a member of the core.

Copa Amaerica > UNC.

UCL> Seria A.

Uefa Super cup> Italian super cup

VVD would win the Balon D'or, Deservedly

LordAdamX:


VVD had a slightly better season than Ronaldo as he won the UCL. Ronaldo had a better season than Messi because he won more trophies for club and country, while the other system player fumbled against top-level opposition and in yet another national team tournament.

What is difficult there to understand r*t*rd!

-Lord

What a stupid statement. Mane, Salah, Firminho and Alison had better seasons than Ronaldo right?.....

Beverlyjean:



In my opinion....mane

MANE? Thats odd. He had like 3 great games in the UCL and was Liverpools 3rd best player in the League. Ahead of VVD, Alisson and Messi? I dont agree.

homesteady:


It means that when players gather Messi like that, Neymar will be there to cause havoc. They won't even dare to gather Messi like that when Neymar is around...


To the general house,

Please let's pray fervently for Neymar's return, I know some people are still angry with him, but you have to understand that hisgood outweighs the bad. We have a dunce as a coach, so the only way we can be successful is by having very decisive players. Dembele has shown that he is not that player, well the records speak for themselves. Suarez is cancelled, Griezmann is a certified choker.

That leaves us with Neymar!!! If we don't get him, Madrid will go after him and e sure me die that we will be biting our lips when he starts tormenting us.

That he is even accepting a salary cut is indicative of the fact that he is repentant. God always gives us many chances, then who are we mere mortals not to give our fellow human being a 2nd chance

How is Greizmann a choker?

Beverlyjean:


Using the same format last time...it's gonna be VVD... Would hv been Messi if Ronaldo won his 6th last time instead of modric cos Ronaldo was far better than modric 2seasons ago... He even performed at the WC , scored more goals than modric but he was denied despite setting a new record in the CL , scoring in 10 consecutive games ... Won the CL , scored 15 CL goals including an overhead kick in Turin.... What Ronaldo did in 2018, Messi dint match that in 2019... .... Messi fans were screaming modric deserved it but now that the table has turned , they want it to b given to Messi instead of VVD that had a performed better than modrics 2018 season

Babe,In your opinion who do you think deserves to win the Balon D'or. Not who you predict will win, who deserves to win.

Beverlyjean:


So with ur logic , we should also say VVD will also win this year's balon d'Or... He was the best defender in UCL and the premiership and got to the final of the nations league

In your opinion, Who do you think deserves to win the Balon d'or?

Beverlyjean:


So explain how ??

Was the best midfielder in the UCL and LaLiga plus he was the best player at the world cup.

I just hope Neymar stays at PSG,I dont want him going to Real 'cos he makes them massive contenders for everything again, but he is not needed at Barca in my opinion.....and the way he left SMH. Messi seems convinced we will win the UCL with him though.
