Inside Lionel Messi's staggering new £12m private jet

Image result for Lionel Messi has splashed out £12million on a private je

Lionel Messi has splashed out £12million on a private jet for himself and his family.

The Barcelona forward has been leased the plane to travel around the world in luxury and comfort and it comes complete with a few personal touches.

The fin of the craft now adorns the No 10, a number synonymous with the Argentine.

And the stairs leading up to the main cabin have been engraved with the names of all in the Messi clan - his wife Antonela as well as their three young boys, Thiago Ciro and Mateo.

According to reports, the aircraft comes complete with 16 seats - which can be folded to make eight beds, as well as two bathrooms and a kitchen.

Messi came off the bench during Barcelona's 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the Champions League on Tuesday evening in what is his 15th-straight season playing for the Catalan giants in the competition.

While he looks to settle more into his comfort zone with his latest purchase, his old nemesis has challenged him to step out of it.

Asked recently if he missed the Argentine following his move to Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo responded: 'No, maybe it's him who misses me.

'I've played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal and for my national team, while he's still in Spain.

'Maybe he needs me more. For me, life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy.

'He's a fantastic player and a good guy, but I don't miss anything here. This is my new life and I'm happy.

'I left my comfort zone and took on this challenge here in Turin. Everything has gone well, I've proven I'm still an incredible player.'

Whether Messi will use his new possession to follow Ronaldo to a new challenge remains

''President Buhari is healthier than 80% of Nigerians'' Chris Ngige

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says President Buhari is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. The Minister said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills. He drew example from Malayia where he said when the nation was in chaos, they had to bring in 93-year-old, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as a prime minister. When he was asked to speak on the seeming fatigued persona president Buhari has been noticed to have in recent times, Ngige said “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 per cent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor; I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President...
