Lionel Messi is generally considered, by a large section of football fans, as the greatest footballer to ever play the beautiful game due to his high level of individual performance over the years.

The Argentinian international shattered a lot of records both at the club and international level while he was playing for Barcelona in the top tier of the Spanish football league system. The individual highlights of his Barcelona career include the six Ballon d'Or he won at the club.


Messi was very successful both at the individual and team level in the close to two decades he spent at Barcelona, but one narrative that has become very popular in recent years is whether the Argentinian legend can perform outside his comfort zone.


A lot of questions have been raised about his suitability to other leagues, with most of his critics arguing that he can only perform in a Barcelona team that was tailor-made for him.


The idea that Messi will struggle to perform on a cold and rainy night in Stoke even became a popular saying among English football fans. There were a lot of predictions that Messi will find it hard to replicate his performances at Barcelona elsewhere.


Fast forward to the 2021 summer transfer window, Messi finally got the opportunity to prove all his critics wrong by moving to Paris Saint-Germain after the expiration of his Barcelona contract.

He was expected to join Neymar and Mbappe in creating a fearsome Paris Saint-Germain's attacking lineup, but the reverse seems the case. It can even be argued that the team plays better whenever he is not in the starting lineup.

Lionel Messi is yet to score or create any goal for a teammate in his five league games for Paris Saint-Germain. He has even been substituted twice due to poor performances.

The Barcelona legend is just a few months into his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, but the early signs suggest that he is struggling to adapt to the French league. He still has enough time to turn this around, but until then, he has proven those who questioned his ability to perform outside of Barcelona right.

I hope he bounce back soon to prove his critics wrong.

Someone dropped this, and it actually clears the air a great deal. ���

There is no balance that would be returned to CBN.

"it is a face saving statement from EFCC".

For the benefit of those that would want to know let me try to state some fact about the whole saga...

Unlike what EFCC claimed, the loan wasn't from Sterling Bank but a bailout loan from CBN (not a single commercial bank in Nigeria will give an entity a loan @ 9% interest).

As we all know CBN does not give loan directly, they usually use DMBs for such facilities, and Sterling Bank was chosen for this particular facility in 2019 with the following details;

1. CBN request SB to give KGSG 20billion and monitor utilisation, meaning all the loan will be disbursed from SB.

SB opens 3 accounts not necessarily at the same time.

SB disbursed 20B loan into the 1st account opened for KGSG.

KGSG instructs SB to open a "Bailout Salary Account" and the 20B is moved into this.

KGSG profiled the salary account on Remita platform, it's payment gateway.

KGSG proceeded to disburse the funds from the salary account directly into beneficiaries account in various banks.

For the second account opened by SB, as is the procedure in similar transactions, CBN paid 20B into this account as a kind of collateral should the state become insolvent or unable to pay for whatever reason.

The 3rd account SB opened was for managing the loan facility repayment, as is the practice in banking industry.

Facts That Checks

A) Before EFCC rushed to court when they got "inside info" they neither contacted KGSG or SB for proper information gathering or investigation .

b) EFCC only approached the bank, SB and KGSG only after the court judgment.

c) EFCC requested for and got all the payments reports that shows complete details of payment made from the funding account to beneficiaries accounts including details of the beneficiaries and time stamped from Remita platform.

d) All these reports can easily be verified through either the beneficiaries or through the various beneficiary banks.

e) Of course verification by EFCC confirms that the said 20B was judiciously utilised as agreed.

Lastly the 20B paid to SB as collateral (now 19.3B) would be returned to CBN in tranches dictated by the loan facility repayment by KGSG until the loan is liquidated.

I hope my clarification above would help in whatever measures clear some grey areas.

It's obvious that EFCC only succeded in exposing their inefficiencies and lack of due diligence.

When are we going to talk about how close Aluko and Omokore are to Goodluck Jonathan? Both were relatively unknown businessmen until Jonathan and Diezani decided to corruptly make them billionaires.

This story for example has nothing to do with Tinubu. It is a property that belongs to a sitting governor. I noticed premium times did not mention if the property was declared by the governor so I suspect he actually declared it. Whatever the case is, Oyetola is a popular public figure who can answer for his deeds or misdeeds. There is really no need to link another person to it in a desperate attempt to splash dirt around.
