Lionel Messi achieved another huge milestone in his glittering career on Saturday night when he surpassed 400 career goals for club and country. The little magician scored twice in Barcelona's 6-0 thumping of Granada to take his overall goal tally to 401 - 359 for his club and 42 for his country. He wrote on his Facebook page on his new record :
"I never imagined I could achieve anything like this in my career,' the humble Messi wrote on his Facebook page afterwards. 'I'll continue working hard to reach more targets."Do you know that if Messi scores 4 more goals ,he will become La Liga's all-time highest goal scorer? See more below :

TITLE>>>>>>FORBIDDEN
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
.... The Forbidden Fruits After that day, the boys never went to the orange tree again and the story that it was a forbidden fruit was retold and everyone believed it, even the four boys. Though they knew it was not the forbidden fruits of the Bible but Mr. Jacob's forbidden fruits. Garba was angry when he learnt that it was Bawa who had told on him. They all began to avoid Bawa. But all these had been over thirty-five years ago. They grown and become men. Garba had turned out to be the star of them all, having excelled in school and had gone to Lagos and then to England. He returned to Dongongari and settled down. Now all the boys who went to the St. Aquinas now have children. But they all still sit together on weekends and talk of the past. Mr. Jacob and the forbidden fruits was always an exciting topic and they would laugh. "Only God know where the white master is today," Sule would say with nostalgia. "Perhaps long dead and buried," Tanko would say. "But he was a terror," Bawa reminded. He had succeeded. his father as the tobacco merchant in ,Jogongan even though he was once a banker. Garba would laugh. "Come to think of it, he was a good man. The lesson of the forbidden fruits was that of obedience. We ought to have obeyed him as our elder and teacher," he said: They all agreed with him. The End ....
