Arthur Melo claims Cristiano Ronaldo is more accessible than Lionel Messi

Arthur Melo has joined the debates on who is the best between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo claiming that the Portugal international is more accessible than the Argentine.

For more than 10 years now, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been involved in serious rivalries most especially in the Spanish La Liga.

These two players have won all titles any player can dream of in club football with only the FIFA World Cup yet to be won by any of them.

Despite playing with Lionel Messi at Barcelona, Brazilian star Arthur who is currently at Juventus is rating his teammate at the Turin high than the Argentine.

According to the report on UK Sun, Arthur claimed that the duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are above any player in he world.

“If they score three goals, they immediately think of the fourth. They never disconnect. It’s impressive and at the same time motivating, because they push you to do your best.

“Compared to Messi, Ronaldo talks more and is more accessible. He never backs down if there is a team-mate in need, and he inspires fierce determination.

“He trains like an animal, he doesn’t know what a break is, and he always encourages you to do your best. He leaves nothing to chance.”

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how World football governing body announced on Friday evening, December 11, the names of the final three nominees for this year's award of best player.

The three players are Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich, Barcelona captain Lionel Messi and Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo.

How Ogun Community Got Electricity After 200 Years

For the first time in 200 years when Olooji, a community in Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State was found, the residents last week experienced power supply. There was jubilation as a 100KWP solar-powered off-grid electricity system was inaugurated in the community, but the locals want more developmental projects.

Olooji, which has a population estimated at 4,500 residents, is blessed with vast land and forests. As an agrarian community, the people are known for the cultivation of cocoa, plantain, palm oil, kolanut, among other crops. Traders, especially those from the South-West usually go there to buy farm produce.

As a result of forests located on the way to the community, there are timber reserves which serve as a source of revenue generation for the government. Activities of illegal loggers are also seen in the timber reserves.

But despite their location and importance, for two centuries, the community did not enjoy electricity. And there is no good and accessible road connecting Olooji to other communities and major cities in the state.

However, respite came for the residents last week following the inauguration of a 100KWP solar-powered off-grid electricity system. The solar hybrid system was built by the Federal Government through the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).

Inaugurating the project, the Managing Director of the REA, Ahmad Salihijo, said the Federal Government was prepared to improve access to electricity in rural communities to aid socio-economic development.

“I am delighted that the people of Ijebu will henceforth enjoy clean, safe and reliable energy as deployed under the first set of grants through the Federal Government’s Rural Electrification Fund (REF).

“The REF is an initiative of the Federal Government, implemented by the REA, to promote off-grid electrification and ensure that electricity is equitably distributed across Nigeria. Interventions such as these are being delivered across all zones,” Salihijo said.

He explained that the first set of grants under the REF would see the deployment of over 19,000 Solar Home Systems (SHS).

He expressed optimism that the project would expose Olooji community to numerous investments in the nearest future.

His said, “The Federal Government understands the nexus between reliable energy and development. To deliver on our mandate, interventions such as this are designed to deliver the energy needs of Nigerians and enhance

BREAKING: Drama As Hoodlums Burgle Ogun Assembly, Cart Away Mace

It was learnt the suspected hoodlums attacked the office of the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, and carted away the assembly’s mace.

Some persons suspected to be hoodlums have burgled the Ogun State House of Assembly.

According to The PUNCH, the incident happened on Thursday.

It was learnt the suspected hoodlums attacked the office of the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, and carted away the assembly’s mace.

It was gathered that the yet-to-be-identified hoodlums broke into the speaker’s office overnight and stole the official symbol of the legislature.

When our correspondent visited the assembly building which is located a few metres away from the Governor’s Office complex in the precinct of the State Secretariat, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, some security agents denied access into the complex, citing orders from above.

When contacted, the spokesman for the Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.

He said the coat of the arm has been recovered but the stick is still missing.

The PPRO added that an investigation into the burglary and theft has commenced.

Oyeyemi said, “Yes, there is an unfortunate incident today in the assembly complex. The hoodlums broke into the assembly through the ceiling and removed the official mace of the house. That is why the Commissioner of Police has to go there for an on-the-spot assessment.”

When asked how it was recovered, the PPRO declined comments.

“The details will be disclosed after the entire mace is recovered,” he added.

Details later...

Alleged fraud: Presidency denies receiving N12.5m from Ogun state

The presidency has dismissed and vehemently denied reports that the former governor of Ogun, Ibikunle Amosun, transferred the sum of N12.5 million to President Muhammadu Buhari while he was still in office.

The rebuttal was done by the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, on Twitter on Thursday, December 3.

The report which Shehu referred to as a fake news industry at work, claimed that the sum was transferred from the state's coffers to a certain PMB Estate.

The presidential media aide explained that the estate belongs to the state, but that it was named after the president in his honour by the former governor.

He went on to say that the name of the estate does not necessarily confer ownership on the president in any way.

Shehu, on his Twitter page, stated clearly:

“Fake news industry at work. A certain document showing the transfer of N12,500,000 from the coffers of Ogun State to a ‘PMB Estate’ is being circulated to tarnish the image of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The PMB Estate is owned by the Ogun State Government, which honoured the President by naming it after him. Of course, that does not confer the ownership of the estate on President Buhari."

Meanwhile, the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has said President Buhari would complete his tenure despite the calls for his resignation.

Speaking at a meeting with the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigerian (NPAN) in Lagos on Thursday, December 3, Mohammed said the calls for the president’s resignation were political.

Just-in Patrick Viera: Nice sack Arsenal legend after UEL defeat to Bayer Leverkusen

French League outfit Nice have parted ways with Arsenal Legend Vieira after his side was knocked out of the Europa League.

The Eagles were handed a 3-2 defeat at the Allianz Riviera by German League outfit Bayer Leverkusen earlier this week.

And the outcome of the game, coupled with their performance in the Ligue 1 table necessitated his sack - bringing his two-year reign to an end.

Reports have it that the club's supporters surrounded the team bus, moments before the match protesting against the manager in a horror run of form.

SunSport reported that L'Equipe journalist Bertrand Latour had predicted Vieira's sack immediately after his side's defeat on Thursday, December 3rd. He tweeted:

"P. Vieira is going to be removed from office."

Hours after the defeat, the club has now released an official statement confirming the sack of the 44-year-old. A statement on the club's official website reads:

"Arrived at OGC Nice in the summer of 2018, Patrick Vieira is no longer the coach of OGC Nice as of this day.

"During an interview after last night's meeting, the Nice board informed Patrick Vieira of its decision to end their collaboration.

"The management of the red and black club made the decision to entrust Adrien Ursea with the mission of leading the professional team from today."

Meanwhile, The Sun reveals that his current deal was due to expire at the end of this season but the club wants an immediate turnaround in their results.

Vieira after Leverkusen's defeat said he knew the fans would express their displeasure at the team, adding that it was passion that drove them. Viera said:

"We expected it. The supporters are passionate, they love this club and it hurts them. We wanted to win this match to dedicate the win to them.

The 21-year-old attacker broke the deadlock tapped-in from a close range after connecting with Jaume Costa's superb cross from the left flank.
