OP Omare bocor

nice work

u didn't add my brother's name o

oritseweyinmi

And with my Ilaje tongue I can intérprete that correctly. it means God got my back. Just like Fawehinmi. The only different here is Ifa in place of Oritse. Oritse means God. And that comes from Orisa.

Efewestern:
I get your point, just want to know the origin of the name , I already found out that Majemite is an itsekiri word, it's a common name in Urhobo.

Fregene Is also another common itsekiri name in Okpe.

Majemite, A yoruba person could easily translate that. Majente or Majekinte. Meaning May I not be disgraced.

I a Yoruba man from Ilaje in Ondo State and I can relate with this names . Same meaning in Ilaje words. Itsekiri is no doubt a Yoruba dialect

Obi1kenobi:
Who were you responding to that said this? Cos it's certainly not me. Are you now imagining things?

You "beg to differ" because you're delusional and have no understanding of football. As I said, it is embarrassing to be "debating" something so obvious to anyone with eyes that understands the game. No universe has ever existed in which Ronaldo's dribbling was in Messi's class.

So you think the response in this thread is all about you? I can see you fail to break lose from an ego that way you down. Grow up man. The fact presented here are incontrovertible

Who know George Best, or have heard about him. He was arguably the most skillful player in British isle. A contemporary of Pelé, Eusebio and Bobby Charlton. He was one of the first British footballer to win balón d'or. He was not the type that accept comparison easily but he had this to say about Ronaldo
"There have been a few players described as 'the new George Best' over the years, but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me."

Manchester United
2003–06: Development and breakthrough

Ronaldo made his debut in the
Premier League in a 4–0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers on 16 August 2003, receiving a standing ovation when he came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Nicky Butt .[34][35][36] His performance earned praise from George Best, who hailed it as "undoubtedly the most exciting debut" he had ever seen

Obi1kenobi:
You can "bet" whatever you want. What's my business?
I'm not sure what "evidence" you're asking for. What would count as "evidence" for you?
Messi and Ronaldo both made the FIFA FIFPro world 11 for the first time in 2007. With Messi being 2 years and 4 months younger than Ronaldo. So much for being "prodigious". I'm not sure what you keep rambling about when Ronaldo was 17 He moved to Man U at 18. At 18, Messi was ripping teams to shreds in La Liga, but he had a lot of injury problems. I remember he missed Barca's CL final against Arsenal in 2006 because he was injured. And went into the 2006 World Cup recovering from injury, but still played 3 matches. Contrary to your claim that Messi was not even at the World Cup.

And I'm not sure why I'm getting suckered into irrelevant arguments to the thread. The relevant thing is Messi has always been a better dribbler than Ronaldo. By far. By an absolute chasm. It is not close, has never been close and will never be close.
Ronaldo doesn't do shiit like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ3Z0wHPzSw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5afVn9N1e7o

What's winding me up here is getting suckered into comparing what is not comparable. Ronaldo is an outstanding footballer. The best in the world over the last 2 or 3 years. One of the best footballers in the whole of football history. He has his strengths. Supreme athleticism. Great movement. Great in the air. Two-footed and strong even on his weaker left foot. When he was younger, he was even a fantastic dribbler.
But Ronaldo has never been in Messi's class in dribbling. Ever. You can compile their dribbling stats every season on Whoscored.com. Messi always batters him hands down. This shiit is not even close enough to compare and it's embarrassing to be arguing about it. Anyone with eyes who understands football cannot compare Messi and Ronaldo's dribbling ability.

I joined this thread not in an attempt to compare Ronaldo dribbling skill with Messi. No reasonable Ronaldo fan should currently put him in the same class as Messi in dribbling. I was irked to respond to some who know little about history, yet right off Ronaldo as good for nothing opportunist who only score cheap goals.,As for your insistence that messi has always been a better dribblers, I beg to differ.

freaklesschild:
you people ehn, get your fact before talking ,lionel messi was at the 2006 world cup and scored the same amount of goal ronaldo scored(1), messi goal came against serbia and montenegro...so where do you get wat u are saying, and talking about establish young player between the two player we all know who wins, winning balon d or at age 21 is not a easy fit, only delima ronado is younger, and finally there was never a time c ronaldo drible better than messi right from the onset of the 2 players , check messi when he was at age 7 back in newels , under 17s, 20s , and during is la masia days ...youtube is your friend check for fact .

You may take the missed 2006 world cup as an error. I saw that Montenegro match and I remember he came on as substitute and scored the last goal in a match argentina had already won 5-0 convincingly. What I infer here is that Messi was not a relevant part of the squad as his few contribution were late substitution from the bench, meanwhile Ronaldo was already the pillar of Portugal national team. I'm giving eye witness account here and talking from Memory.

You may reckon with this, it was culled from an authoritative source in WIKIPEDIA

At age 16, Ronaldo was promoted from
Sporting's youth team by first-team manager László Bölöni , who was impressed with his dribbling.[19] He subsequently became the first player to play for the club's under-16, under-17 and under-18 teams, the B team, and the first team, all within one season. [16] A year later, on 7 October 2002, Ronaldo made his debut in the
Primeira Liga, against Moreirense, and scored two goals in their 3–0 win. [20] Over the course of the 2002–03 season, his representatives suggested the player to Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and Barcelona president Joan Laporta. [21][22] Manager Arsène Wenger, who was interested in signing the winger, met with him at Arsenal 's grounds in November to discuss a possible transfer. [23]
Ronaldo came to the attention of
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in August 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 at the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. His performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him. [24] Ferguson himself considered the 18-year-old "one of the most exciting young players" he had ever seen. [25][26] A decade after his departure from the club, in April 2013, Sporting honoured Ronaldo by selecting him to become their 100,000th member.

Obi1kenobi:
These Ronaldo fanboys are highly delusional.
I watched the very pre-season friendly match for Sporting Lisbon against Man U that got Ronaldo signed up. I watched Ronaldo's debut Premier League match against Bolton. I remember the first time he played against Arsenal (I'm an Arsenal fan) and he messed Ashley Cole up. I've watched every phase of Ronaldo's development as a footballer. He has never, ever in his life been as good a dribbler as Messi. I've observed many of you here don't understand what dribbling is. You think those step-overs he copied from the likes of the original Ronaldo de Lima, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Denilson etc is what makes a great dribbler. Ronaldo was certainly a good dribbler at Man U, particularly isolated one-on-one with a defender because he was tricky and had pace. Messi was a whole new level. He was the demon that could embarrass an entire defence and score.
I remember when Ronaldinho recieved his 2nd FIFA world best award and he said "I'm not even the best player in Barcelona". Few people understood what he meant. I understood the very first day I watched Messi play.

This thread is not about who is the better player. I think it's comfortably Messi, but that is a matter of personal opinion, cos I'll admit Ronaldo really impressed me with his crucial goals for Madrid and Portugal over the last 3 or 4 years. Messi being a better dribbler than Ronaldo is NOT an opinion. It is evident fact anyone with eyes and an understanding of football can easily discern. Easily. It's not even close enough for comparison.

Mr. man I can bet my last penny you never witnessed those moment you try to take credit for and your response to this argument clearly showed. Anyone who care should go and get a clip of Ronaldo debuts match in Manchester united and come here to show in evidence where Messi could muster such a quality at 17 Some people, out of their ego driven nature will always attempt an alternative route to a flawed argument. Even the thread obviously should not have created a prolonged comparison between Messi and Ronaldo because it highlighted the current form of active players and not the past, and any die hard fan of Ronaldo should realize that he had lost more than 80 percent of his skill. But coming here to debunk the claim that Ronaldo was more prodigious than Messi in his early day is nothing but foolhardy. Does anyone care to understand that in 2004 Ronaldo was an integral part of Portugal national team that made it to euro final but two years later in 2006, Messi was not even at the world cup

Obi1kenobi:
You're high on cheap weed. There has never been a time in his life Ronaldo was half as good a dribbler as Messi. Ever. There is a reason people have compared Messi to Maradona since he was 17. If anything, Messi doesn't dribble as much as he used to when he was younger. He's far more economical in his movement and even looks lazy at times playing at walking pace. Messi was an absolute livewire devil on the ball when he was in his teens and early 20's. The kind of goals he regularly scored beating multiple defenders before beating the keeper were stuff Ronaldo could only dream off.

You can only talk this way if you are too young or unexposed to know Christiano Ronaldo in his teenage years. I have always juxtapose messi and Ronaldo at 17. knowing that Ronaldo is two years older, he was 17 in 2003 while Messi was 17 in 2005. in 2003 Ronaldo dribbling skill and talent earn him an undisputable position in sporting lisbon and his fame encapsulated the entire portugues league. He was just 17, and portugal could not have fancied a player for possessing dribbling skill unless he lived up to his billing because during those period, portugues league was known to have some of the most gifted youngster( quaresma,nani and a host of others). Go and search about his exploit in portugal, his fame was too much for a 16 years old. In 2003, still at 17 he was bought by man united and instantly made it into the first team. As for Messi, he was 17 in 2005 and the height of his career was under 21 world cup. I saw the tornament and Messi was not yet a larger than life figure. his dribbling skill was far below what ronaldo commanded in 2003. He also sat out his time in Barcelona bench and played in the reserved team. Do any of know that Ronaldo was awarded the best player in europe under 21 tornament in 2001?

unmask:
you can have all the tricks in the world but won't still be able to dribble past more than one player. Ronaldo has tricks.... but in the end he finds it to beat more than a player at a time. That's if he successfully beats the first player.

His only duty is to score (lucky him). Messi hazard neymar and some others have to be both goal scorer and playmaker.

Then you never witnessed Ronaldo's evolution. Even Jose Mourinho grudgingly admitted his awe when he first saw him in his youthful days

How men have short memory? I still maintained that Ronaldo was gifted in skill than Lionel Messi. Prior to his arrival at Manchester united in 2003, I had seen him briefly on two occasions. He was no doubt a young teenager but his skill and potential made me realize a star in the making. It was in a European age group friendly with England and the Ronaldo who shared a name with the well known el phenomenon scored the two goals of the match, but it wasn't the goal that excited me, it was the skill and brilliance exhibited at such a tender age. My second exposure to him was in a pre-season friendly between Manchester united and sporting Lisbon. I had gone to see Manchester united in their last preseason match after some impressive run that saw them defeated Juventus and Barcelona. It was a spectacle of skill exhibition for Ronaldo as he cut through united defence several time s until he got the winning goal of the encounter. That was probably his last match for the portugués club. United made arrangement for his signature few weeks later. It was later revealed by Sir Alex Ferguson that the pressure put on him by some man united player like Gary Neville and Nicky butt as they took a flight home from the trip made him considered signing the young prospect . My third time of seeing Ronaldo was few weeks after the Lisbon encounter but this time around in a Manchester united shirt. It was his debut match for the English side and I still reckon that it was his best . United were leading Bolton wanderer 1-0 and the match had dragged on . Then a subsitutions was made and Ronaldo came in. That was the turn around of the game. Every time he grab the ball, he dazzle into the defence slowly but skillfully and everything fell into place. The match ended 4-1, with two assist coming from his brilliant display. In the last goal of the match, he was fallen inside the eighteen box by a frustrated defender. That display registered him a superstar in at 17. I still continue to say Ronaldo dribbling skill enter into decline right from his Manchester united days owing to change in position. While in portugal, Ronaldo operated more from the left wing and occasionally switch to the right . Even in his debut match, Ferguson used him from the left. But that arrangement was not going to last as he was brought to replace united right wing wizard David Beckham who had departed for Real Madrid. Then I began to notice a change in his style of play which switched from slow dribbling to high speed. His dribbling gradually went on the decline but what he loss in skill, he made up for on goal scoring exploit.

People say Edo girls fly at day time but just ignore them.

Edo people are generally easygoing people. They don't make trouble, don't find trouble, don't give trouble, unambitious and have not contributed anything meaningful to the growth and development of the country

People also claim the headquarters of witchcraft is in Edoland (first class azeh ) and their women often knock off their wealthy husbands in order to inherit his riches. Whether this is true or not, I am in no position to confirm or refute. Once again, IGNORE THEM.

They do not demand for an arm and leg during the marriage processes, and unlike certain parts of Nigeria, you will not need to break your bank to marry one of theirs. You will find that they will make most agreeable in-laws.

However, If you are a religious person, pray to God for guidance before settling down with your partner because love, good and evil does not know race, ethnicity or gender. With God, you can never go wrong

I will try and refute some of your lie that Edo people are unambitious and make no meaningful contribution to Nigeria. Which part of the world do you reside? Edo is not called the heartbeat of Nigeria for nothing. Even in their minority status, they have made some names for themselves.They produce some outstanding personalities who did exceptional thinga Anthony Enahoro in the preindepend nigeria move the motion for Nigerian independence. Adams Oshiomole held Nigeria by the jugular during his NLC days, in fact, he was next to chief Michael Imoudu in Labour movement, the later was also an Edo man. They have even produced the best Nigerian brains( imafidon family) and the worst criminal, remember Laurence Anini. Can you tell us which state cross Sahara desert in search of greener pasture most.

Nigerian, especially the south easterner has a way of adding tribal dimension to every national issue. This bitterness about Jonathan losing election is yet to be comprehend. Buhari may be failing but Jonathan corruption and ineptitude lead people to seek an alternative. An alternative fostered by the corrupt elite themselves. Instead of venting out anger on other tribe because your oppressive kinsman was ousted out of power, why not adopt an intellectual recurse to getting the nation out of the stranglehold of oppressive cabals.

Nigerian sing scrap, except a few like Dija, Dare art Alade, Ty Bello, Timi Dakolo, Tiwa Savage, yet I don't understand.

Reminds me of the golden era of 1994. Some resemblance here. Only that the green isn't deep enough. The last time we used faded green was 2002, and that was the poorest world cup outing we had. Everything had been going on a downward spiral since then. But this Jersey is generally beautiful.

I try to find a credible link that substantiate this claim but I found a loophole that punctured it . True the woman may be old, but the age claim in many old African people is mostly inaccurate. Most of the people born in the early twentieth century can not locate their date of birth let alone someone that was burn in nineteenth century. The loophole here is that if the woman is that old, why is the firstborn still alive? Longevity must be running in their blood , And to pack the surprise, the first born will still be active and have the look of a septuagenarian. Longevity is real by 120 and 130 that is commonly claim in Nigeria is wrong.

Music has to be good and sonorous, the tune must be well coordinated not awkward and the sound combination must be rhyme. It is not just about the lyric or the beat. There are some good Nigerian song that are not so popular. But am I the only the one who thinks many popular Nigeria song are bad? this does not exclude many Davido and wizkid songs. The latest Davido song is a further descent to music ugliness

Take your advice to Yorubas. If you look at the votes above, SE and SS voted massively for Abiola; a southerner. Yorubaas are the ones dividing the South; not SS or SE. Yoruba is the problem as facts show from their actions.

Who are you trying to deceive with this falsehood? nairalander or the entire nigerian. I believe you went through the thread before coming here to distort a glaring fact. How massive was a vote that came from Anambra state only. Other southeastern state gave their vote to an unknown Bashir Othman Tofa. Do not justify your primitive thinking by referring to the vote from south southern state. State like Delta, akwa ibom and cross river are neutral on nation issue

Why are you foolish . Didn't you see that we believed in one nigeria then, thinking it will work out. Didn't you see how Igbo speaking states voted different parties without shading blood afterwards between the states that voted otherwise. That is to show you how matured we are. How peaceful Biafra will be. People for the people and by the people and not Party/Religion by the people and to the party/Religion.God bless Biafra

Ibo believe in one Nigeria, and yet the only tribe to lead two secessionist movements Biafa declaration and IPOB. Where is the sincerity here. Abiola was the overwhelmingly popular candidate and he won in many southwest and northern state save the east. Most prominent south east politician also joined force with Babangida to scuttle June 12-remember association for better Nigeria and the role played by Arthur Nzeribe.

Noccerino:
Lol... Afonjas have been playing tribal politics even in 1993, did anyone notice how every yoruba states voted Abiola meanwhile northern states like kano and kaduna voted against a fellow northerner.

Stop your bigotry. Abiola was the overwhelmingly popular candidate nationwide, even most northern state voted him. Only the Ibo gave their massive vote to an unknown Bashir Othman Toga. Most of their politician also worked to frustrate June 12.
