#Football News: Lionel Messi Gets 21 Months Jail Term for Tax Fraud



A court in Spain on Wednesday sentenced Barcelona striker Lionel Messi and his father to 21 months in jail for tax fraud and slapped them with a fine of 3.7 million euros ($4.1 million).
But these prison sentences are likely to be suspended as is common in Spain for first offences for non-violent crimes carrying a sentence of less than two years.
The Argentina and Barcelona star and his father Jorge Horacio Messi were found guilty of using companies in Belize and Uruguay to avoid paying taxes on 4.16 million euros of Messi’s income earned from his image rights from 2007-09.
The income related to Messi’s image rights that was allegedly hidden includes endorsement deals with Banco Sabadell, Danone, Adidas, Pepsi-Cola, Procter & Gamble and the Kuwait Food Company.

Image
A girl bought an iPad. When her father saw it, He asked her "What was the 1st thing you did when you bought it? "I put an anti-scratch sticker on the screen and bought a cover for the iPad" she replied. "Did someone force you to do so?" - "No" "Don't you think it's an insult to the manufacturer?" - "No dad! In fact they even recommend using a cover for the iPad" "Did you cover it because it was cheap & ugly?" - "Actually, I covered it because I didn't want it to get damage and decrease in value." "When you put the cover on, didn't it reduce the iPad's beauty?" - "I think it looks better and it is worth it for the protection it gives my iPad."

If you see where a woman is giving birth abroad, even as a man you will feel like getting pregnant. In oyibo land, for only one woman in labour, you will see an Obstetrician, a Gynecologist, a General Surgeon, a Specialist Surgeon, an Anesthestist, a Registered Nurse /Midwife/ plus Social Welfare Officer and So On. And they pet the woman in labour. The words are usually: Excellent, sweetheart. Just a little more push. Yes, yes dear, take a little rest and push again. Can't wait to see the beauty you are about to bring. And, when the baby is delivered, it is: Ahh...What a bunch of beauty! Lovely, lemme hold him/her. You are lucky to have a beautiful baby. "that's why it is called Delivery Room over there" But in Nigeria my Country it is called "Labour Room" and if you see what women go through here, you will agree wit me that it should also be called "Confession and Trial Room".
