Fulham star, Alex Iwobi, has chosen Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi as the greatest of all time (GOAT) ahead of Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

During an appearance on the Beast Mode On podcast, the Nigerian midfielder was put on the spot to pick between the two legends.

His answer came without hesitation: Messi.

“I always say Messi,” Iwobi stated. Explaining his choice, he added, “Playing against Ronaldo, the aura was crazy.

“But when I played against Messi, every time he had the ball, there was like a radius where no one could enter that and tackle him.”

While Ronaldo has five Ballon d’Or titles to his name, Messi leads the rivalry with eight, further cementing his case in Iwobi’s eyes.

The Abia State Government says it will not apply force or any form of maltreatment in relocating traders at Isi Gate, Umuahia, to a new site in Umuahia North LGA.

The Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, gave the assurance on Monday while explaining the outcome of the Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Otti.

He said the traders would be moved temporarily to Okigwe Motor Park in Umuahia, adding that they would trade within the motor park until the completion of the Afara market site, where they would relocate permanently.

Ekeoma, who stated that the state government does not believe in the use of brutality in implementing its policies, said the traders would be relocated in an orderly manner without harm.

The Abia State Government also dismissed claims that the Federal Housing Estate in Umuahia is solely a federal government project, maintaining that the land for the project was acquired by the state, among other contributions.

Also speaking on the outcome of the Executive Council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, said that the state government would construct a new railway station to ease transportation in the city, in collaboration with the Nigerian Railway Corporation.

Former Kano State Commissioner of Police Muhammad Wakili has described the menace of drugs as a serious problem harming Nigerian society as a whole.

In a chat with DCL Hausa, the former commissioner, popularly known as Singham, said that three days before retiring in Kano, he confiscated hard drugs worth almost N3 billion.

However, he said he has still not been informed of what eventually happened to the drugs.

“Three days before I retired in Kano, I seized hard drugs worth nearly three billion naira. But up till now, I have not received any information on what was done with the drugs. Some people even said the drugs were released and returned to those who owned them,” he said.

According to him, “When I seized (the drugs), I called an international press conference, including the BBC and RFI. We told them that Allah has helped us; we caught 313 cartons (of tramadol). Even at that time, the price was around N3bn.”

According to him, he later heard claims that the drugs had been released.

“I have retired; what can I do about it?” he said.

Wakili stressed the need for stronger action against drug abuse in Nigeria, warning of its impact on young people, saying, “We must wage war against drugs. We have the police; we have NDLEA; we have DSS.

Failure to act could harm the future of many youths, affecting their education and moral values, he stated.

The former Commissioner of Police maintained that all relevant agencies must work together to tackle the drug problem in the country.
