There is nobody born of a woman in football who has more controversial awards than Lionel Messi
It got to a time, cartoons were making a mockery of him with every individual awards
E.g
If the African player award is coming up.. who should win the best player?
They will neglect all African players nominated and hand the award to Messi
It looked funny but it wasn't funny to me at all
Do you know what it means to have too much controversy around you?
When you are discussing Messi's greatness and you mentioned eight Ballon d'Ors, there is always that a pause, a kind of coldness in the room
Do you know why?
Even the person defending him knows that it's not deserving
The next thing you will hear is, he has won it, you can't collect it back!
When I said this, you people called me a mad man. I’ve been involved in police business far too long to find anything surprising any longer. What shocks you today, I have experienced in the 2010s. By the way, the Ogudu Area Command is a criminal enterprise. Last time we exposed that SO, he called at midnight to beg.
So you mean to tell me a lawyer who was accused of stealing a client's money as a lawyer and got suspended/disbarred still gets accused of stealing money now that he has been rewarded with high office? Shocking! How could it be that people who were criminals in the US are still criminals in Nigeria? I can't understand it.
I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.
However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.
Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.
You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.
If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.
The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven. They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it? Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.
Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?
Again, silence.
Then comes the most curious part of the story.
The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.
That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.
Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?
These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.
The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.
But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.
This is bigger than one man.
If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.
If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.
If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.
If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.
Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.
The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.
Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.

The Senate and House Reps wrote letters to a non existing agency!
Even got an office in the Federal Secretariat all without knowledge of the Government.
Please who told Bayo, Tinubu, and Femi Gbaja that we are this stupid? Because what is this damage control?
The longer Gbaja keep his job, the more complicit he is making the president look.
The agency never existed.
Meanwhile, here’s the “non-existent” Director-General meeting the Deputy Speaker in July 2025 to discuss legislative backing, as reported by punch.

Also, this year, the government made a payment of 637,849,864.55 and the narration is "Being payment 50% tuition fees for 254 new students for the period of September 2025 to august 2026" at Baze University.
Guys, that's just 50% payment, which means the total payment is over 1 BILLION naira. 😂😫😫😫😫😫😫
This is the work he's doing for Tinubu. You just returned from prison and the first thing you do is attack opposition leaders. Only foolish people don't know Sowore works for Tinubu.
That’s the Saudi Pro League’s top scorer last season btw , Meanwhile, apart from Messi, we haven’t seen MLS players score at the Club World Cup or set any notable records. That says a lot about the difference in the quality of the two leagues.
