Truly an insightful piece u got there OP. I believe Your 20s should be meant for adding substantial values to yourself as a man , learn skills , learn to solve problems , network , work smart.

Forget about love in your 20s , be ruthless . No woman loves an unsuccessful man tbh , stop blaming yourself , stop blaming your parent , stop blaming your Government , take charge of your life and stop swimming in pity parties . No one is coming to save you in this life.

Once you prepare well in your 20s , your 30s would become soft work. Also learn from men who has made mistakes. One of the mistake I can never make in my 20s is to get a girl pregnant or get married , Am I mad ? Even if I have the funds it’s still a no no for me, cause marriage in your 20s is a huge distraction fr.
Work with God side by side , let him direct your path. You have to work very smart and hard in this life ,especially in this Nigeria.

Last paragraph is the biggest Lesson any guy should hold

God just saved me

When you start making small money in your late 20s
Pressure from your gf and family be like you should get married.
Your gf starts making it look like you're using her and you are not serious asking you to come and meet her parents

You see other young people pretending like they are happy getting married young

Let your child grow with you etc
Give birth early etc

But when you realise by 35yrs old as a successful man you're just hitting your own prime as a 18yrs old lady

You can get married by 40 and above if you wish

The only exception to this is if you become rich before 30

If you're still struggling

Pls break up with your gf if she ask for marriage
No matter how fine she is
The fear of another man being with that girl you love so much shun it
Don't get married to her

Go out and be a beast
Be the guy that Can't be bothered about Loosing your girl to another Rich man because of lack of money

Bukola94:
Kelvin is the 3rd best player currently. I will rank Karim Benzema over Neymar. Neymar is so unserious and career may not have happy ending, just like Balotelli and Adriano

Baba

Kelvin debryune is in the same category as iniesta and xavi

But none of the 3 midfielders can be in the conversation of Best footballer in this generation

Messi
Ronaldo
Neymar

Anything outside these 3 for the last 10 to 15yrs
2008 to 2021 is just you having a personal preference

mayor1814:
In fact, d most surprising and shocking one was Tapnaldo. He was rejected by European top clubs. but I even thought he would squeeze in a decent European club but NO.


As for others, none were surprising. They went for money and retirement plans.

What about neymar?


I thought after Messi and Ronaldo
Neymar was the 3rd best player of this currently generation

Why is nobody attacking him as Dive-nay-mar

See all humans are the same when it comes to what drives you to work for another Club or organisation

Money
Money
More money
Much more money

victory36:
All these one you are saying is story for the gods. Most Players play for the money, it's not trophies that will sustain them after retirement. My own take is that they should use the money wisely. Those who play for passion can keep on playing in Europe. It's their personal choice/life not ours to decide.

Even those that play in Europe play for money

The reason why a player will snub Fulham and say yes to Manchester united

Is because Fulham will offer 40k
United will offer 250k

Incase you need to watch football for entertainment to enjoy your money

These clubs accordingly are the best club in the Premier league with a good coach and a very good squad that understands football

1. Man city
2. Brighton
3. Arsenal
4. Liverpool
5. Newcastle
6. Aston villa
7. Manchester united (bunch of dancers pretending to be players)
8. Chelsea (a club with 50 players within 2 seasons and 4 coaches)

Hehe I am playing a lotta games right now honestly, but I'm focusing on a particular game built on the Hive blockchain called Splinterlands . It actually helps me make real life money, everything in the game has a real world value. It's crypto stuff sha and it's very cool.

I'm interested
Dm?

crazygod:
Oga forget VAR. It was the same VAR that affirmed MacAlister's red card yet after the appeal, the red card was overturned. That tackle was yellow at best. But no single card for Joelinton. Double standards.

It's a yellow card offense normally

But have noticed this season

Alot of offences has been amplified

If just wasting 10 seconds can lead to yellow card

Just making gesture to the ref asking yellow for opponent will land you yourself yellow card

Talking back at the ref in an aggressive manner yellow card

So many things have been introduced this season for just yellow card

Hence
Red cards too will be frequent

Especially denying a goal scoring opportunity as the last man

mayor1814:
There is no need to argue this coz normally there isn't any argument or debate in the first instance. Messi is no longer in football conversion. He's now in conversion of sport best athlete with the likes of Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali.


He's always been the best since 2012/13. All these comparisons do not hold substance. Have a good day.

That's your personal opinion

More than half football fan base around the world still believes

Ronaldo is the best ever Football player with all records and Stats to back him up

And will continue to be a debate outside nairaland and far more countries more than Nigeria FOR YEARS TO COME

As millions and millions of people around the world fell in love with Football because of 1 person


And that is cr7.

You can deny that doesn't mean it's not a fact

mayor1814:
It's kids that rate Tapnaldo as high as messi. The reality is Messi is way above tapnaldo in ranking. Is it the dribbles, the magnificent assists, the free kicks, the playmaking roles etc


Ur fave is called Mr. Champions league, have u ever wondered y he couldn't transform that success to national team most especially at d world cup? Not even a bronze medal.

Asif I knew you'll steer the conversation to world cup

So why have messi not won the World Cup 3 Times?

Many players have won 3 World cups

If Messi is so so high

Why wait till he's 35

Messi is far far better and should have won atleast 2 or 3 out of the 5 world cup he played in

And mind You

Ronaldo has done far far great things for portugal
But I am not Portuguese so I won't go into how he Brought portugal to limelight post Figo era and stepped up

Messi and Ronaldo can't win the same world cup in the same competition same year

1 has to win it Messi did

Qudos to him

They were both without world cups for 4 different tournaments

So they are on the same level
1 just slightly better

Don't make it sound so high high

Like he has 5 world cups
And he won all his matches and didn't flop in PSG

mayor1814:
Baba some of us we're fortunate to witness d magnificence of players like romario, bebeto, maradona, Ronaldo de Lima, zidane, rivaldo, Ronaldinho, messi etc and I can confidently say that Tapnaldo u are hyping is no match for all these legends I've mentioned skill wise, is it their vision, dribbles or complete mastery of the game? D only thing going for Tapnaldo is the high number of matches he has played, nothing more and the number of goals he has scored. No special skill or magnificent skill. Just goals, goals, goals. Much of which included lots of penalty kicks n tap ins.

You can stop typing now

You clearly only putting Ronaldo version from 2016 down to 2023 into account for scoring goals goals goals

And completely disregard

2004 to 2014/2015 version of Ronaldo which lasted for 10yrs being so skillful and dribbles and free kick technique

All those players you mentioned above don't have half the number of haters Ronaldo has Constantly comparing you in an abusive manner to just 1 single person for 15yrs

Just watch how pundits hang him every week during his madrid and Juventus days

For years it has always been and will always be a story of Ronaldo and Messi

For him to still come out on top Is the reason Many prefers Ronaldo

And watch Ronaldo interview about Messi

He sometimes accept Messi is better if It's your opinion
But in his mind He is bold enough to say and Play it out that he is Better than Messi

Also motivates you to never accept anyone is better than you
And strive to always be the best in whatever profession you find yourself

Even when people prefers others to you

Proof them wrong

mayor1814:
Realistically, calculate numbers if games to goals scored ratio and see who really is the highest goal scorer. Not just playing over 100 games more than Messi and yet u are leading messi with less than 40 goals. So d goals tapnaldo keeps hanging on, realistically Messi has a better stat in that regard

Baba
So many people played 5,000 games without any 1 goal

Because your favourite player is Messi doesn't mean

Ronaldo about to hit 850 career goals is something easy

Even haaland will sweat Blood from his anus to come close to that record

Only kids call Ronaldo tapin

I can accept now that he is old he is average and scores easy goals

But you forget how he amassed those 700 to 800 goals in those 15yrs scoring bangers. Hattricks, free kicks. And Match winning penalties . SUPERMAN headers etc

Be honest with yourself
Will millions of people fall in love with a footballer just because he scores tapins?

He has done so so so many extraordinary things during those 15yrs to be loved by others and amass so many haters

He's called Mr champions league By the champions league itself

For holding almost every single record in that competition which is regarded as the biggest Club competition in the world

Having hundreds of Clutch moments

You can love Messi but don't disrespect Ronaldo

kunleiky:
Very disrespectful comment, but this can pass for an opinion since a faceless forum like this allows kids
Why didn't you tell us the countries of those players above, and if the countries have won more than a world cup in history of the tourney.
SMH for you

Don't mind them

This people just don't know that Football is Ultimately about Goals

Without Goals

All your serere is nothing

And Football is calculated Based on Goals

And who is the person with the Most Goals in the history of football?

Cr7

To appreciate what he has done

Haaland scoring like a mad robot will have to do the same thing without having any bad season for another 15yrs

You like messi fine
Why disrespect a Legend

MrBroke:
I saw Ronaldo at Man utd, so nothing I missed. I also play football not professionally though cause Niger get her own profession for all of us, the way I watch, play and understand football is like how analyst see it with everything taken to account hence the reason Ronaldo wouldn't be in my top 5 football players. It is not hate, I can't hate a legend of a sport I love but people comparing him to Messi is just too sentimental and bias hence the reason a lot of us get annoyed by it. Ronaldo is good, in my ultimate team of all time he is definitely my number 9 but he is no where near Messi. So make we just dey honest

Alright

Same question I always ask all of u in this same category

Be honest with yourself


Mention just 1 player BETTER than Cristiano Ronaldo
For the past 16yrs

For everything he has done in his career
1. Playing style
2. Records
3. League
4. Cups
5. Champions league
6. Idol in his country
7. Idol in his club

Then Fan base (people who actually believe He is the best thing they have ever seen)

[/b]*If Messi was not Alive* [b]

Let's assume Messi is not Alive

Pls do not mention any player during black and white TV era

Who else can you compare to Messi
If not Ronaldo?

MrBroke:
Nothing else. I'll pick more than 4 players after Messi b4 him excluding Maradona and Pele. Wetin Ronaldo sabi apart from goal, him no sabi play ball na just ability to score goal. All round na waste

Most of the people saying this are people that just purely hate Ronaldo or kids that knew Ronaldo from 2018 till 2023

Fun fact
Ronaldo and Messi are meant to be retired since 2021.

Anything they do now is just old age playing

At what age did Ronaldinho retire out of Europe
Was he not better than Ronaldo?
Even R9 delima ronaldo

Ronaldo is an old man and A billionaire
Same as Messi

Anything he does now is just to stat pad

Hence why erik boot him out

During Ronaldo prime which lasted for 15 to 16yrs
Only kids will call Ronaldo a tap in merchant like Haaland

If only you saw Rocket goals and Rocket free kicks he scored
And how Only Messi was better than him in some years within those 15,16 yrs

You'll respect him

Without Ronaldo
Messi will have 12 ballon Dor

Only Ronaldo was good enough to battle him and won 5

Also if there was no Messi
Ronaldo would easily dominate the world for those 12 ballon dors

One didn't win a particular Year ONLY because the other exist

How can you hate someone like that?

Like seriously where we single men go see girl marry?
Cause most gals I've come across with don cast o

na you cast them

As you move from one girl to the next girl

The one you left

Another guy will still leave her

Then one guy later will not care about all the bad things you don't like about her and wife her

Same will happen to you
The lady you'll marry is still with her temporary boyfriend

That's life

Only few will marry a lady that has never been with any man

This Mudryk is a clown

That guy is 3 times worse than anthony

Na mumu dey marry from pressure

Even if I am 40yrs o

I no dey marry anybody

True love is not for everybody

Many people will DEFINITELY marry the wrong person
After few months will regret it

Only very very few will marry someone that will make their lives better

Many will marry wahala

Even wahala will go and marry good person


Just grind make your money

Enjoy your life

If you need child
Find someone you can tolerate

Have a baby together when you're 40+

Only get married when "your own version of true love" is met

If not

Marriage has sent so many people into what they wish they can reverse time for

If you're among the very few that marriage favour

Congrats

Unmarried fellows gat to think well before delving into the matter now oo...

We are on shege pro-max now oo...

I just broke up with my girlfriend

And adviced her to find a rich guy

She's already of marriageable age

I am not even half ready

A man can wait till whenever
A lady can't

Don't be wicked man

Let her go for a better man to marry

Marriage has zero advantage for a struggling man

Stay single and enjoy your life till you're financially free

These people will advice you otherwise and allow you learn the hard way

Lol
Rich man

Buy ps5 for 450k

Buy like 10 cds for 20k each
Then Buy a hacked ps4

lexy2014:
How does that negate the following?

The Saudis have a programme they are executing & money is the influence not Ronaldo.

I agree it's the money

The money has always be there

They have always had their programme since God knows when

Incase you need a little bit of information
Try trace since when Saudis have been trying to buy Messi and Ronaldo

Just trace since when they have been chasing them with money

Messi and Ronaldo kept turning them down almost immediately for years

Their "project " got teeth when they were able to get one of the 2 world best to join

Now their project was activated to pump more more money to bring more stars

Simple

You people just fail to give cr7 credit like I don't get it



Pls don't forget

Even Ronaldo didn't even want to join them
With all the money they gave him

If not for what Manchester united did by fing him up.
No club wanted to sign him with that much wahala surrounding him us his age
And he was declining
He still wanted to try Europe and stay
He kept declining to join them
Prior to that no body else joined them


Ronaldo only joined them
Because no other club that "he wanted" wanted him
So he had No choice

They had thier project to bring Ronaldo


If any player joins MLs now

You will be quick to say its because of Messi

Since Messi joined mls

The value of ticket sales and other stuffs have gone up by 100%

That is what is called influence

There's always money in America and Saudi

lexy2014:
How does that negate the following?

The Saudis have a programme they are executing and money is the influence not Ronaldo.

You can hit your chest and bet all you own

That as at last year
If Ronaldo didn't support that "project"

And Ronaldo didn't join them


These players as at today will join Saudi if Ronaldo didn't support Saudi?

obembet:
They said MLS is the better league but all the Superstars in football are following Ronaldo to Saudi

Very simple logic

If Messi is the GOAT

Why can't all the footballers follow him

Is there no money in America?

Because they will say its money that Saudi is using

Abaman001:
In all of these, nobody remembered to add that a bag of cement is currently sold within 5,700 and 6000 (still fluctuating) a piece of iron is within 6700 and above 9000 according to their sizes, building materials generally is soaring very very high on daily basis, what about price of land in most of these cities that are not smiling at all, the people and government should first looked into those areas before looking towards the landlords, real estate is a business just like others businesses, they are not a charity organizations, they all want to make profits too, even though it takes a landlord several yrs(more than a decade) to cover up is expenses

Seems you're part of the developers

So because its high

Is it not the same cement the people in ikorodu are buying

Or those in far distance

There rent is almost 1/10 of what you people collect in the city

All in the name of location

And it's in a busy area

Understandable

But most you people rarely give room for any slight negotiations

To remove 5k they won't
Let alone reduce any amount from the total to accommodate new tenants

They want to gain all the money used to build the house

Under 3yrs max

I just look at those renting developers house in this lagos

If I see a new house and I ask

Is it the landlord that built it itself
I will rent

If na developer
I run no matter the gimmick
Because as you rightly said na for profit and you can never negotiate or be flexible on renewal of rent for next year that's is they don't increase it by 100k next year and ask uou to pack out because they want to collect another 100k. 100k

They use substantial materials and house starts peeling under 6months after collecting 500k each from 26 rooms

iFESTAC680:
Exactly my experience, I had to still give the agent #5k after paying 300k agency, agreement and caution fee to the landlord, this is almost 40% of the rent.

They need to be regulated honestly!!!!

Agents are bad

But the landlords are the real devil evil people


How can you collect such huge amount and give pennies to the owner of the commission

Collect 100k for Agreement no lawyer atall

Caution fee and you'll still be the one to complete some structures in the house yourself

A lawless country

What happend to 10% of the rent for commission
They collect upto 50% or 70% sometimes extra

iFESTAC680:
Can't believe no one is talking about Lagos
This place isn't cheap at al. I almost fought one agent over agency fee.

These guys need to be regulated seriously!!

Only Government can intervene

But govt sef are worse

You'll be amazed some landlords without agent
Collect full 100k
No lawyer
Still collect 100k
No nothing in the house
Still collect 50k

In my presence in lagos
Even the agent that took us to the house

Out of the extra 250k

Na 30k landlord gave the 2 of them said they should manage it

Agents now asking us to add something for them

Govt needs to check these landlords

And developers especially

IamKizzbrown10:
Many people have happy, fulfilling, healthy
romantic relationships without having sex
with their partners.

It ultimately depends on
your personal beliefs, physical desires, and
the nature of your relationship.

There are many reasons why people don’t want to, or don’t, have sex. However, this doesn’tmean that the relationship will be unhealthy.

And it certainly isn’t a sign that your partner
doesn’t love or value you!

This is my humble opinion though, tell us what you think nairalanders?

Are you a lady or a male?

As a male and you are the one bringing up no sex in the relationship

I salute you

Because its females that use that no sex in relationship as a tool to hold a "good guy" down

The only girl that can give ultimatum of no sex
Should be a virgin
