Dee60: It takes 11 players to win the world cup! Argentina, not winning the World Cup does not diminish the fact that Messi and Ronaldo (both have not won the WC) are some of the greatest players of today. Anyone who appreciates good footbal (I mean good football) will not fail to admit Messi's greatness. Zidane did not win the World Cup, France did! Spain fielded the best 11 players last World Cup and they won it. That does not make Torres or Silva or Iniesta the greatest. Winning the world cup is no feat that 'one great' player can accomplish by himself.

Arsene Wenger, Ferguson, who are masters of the game have not failed to admit Messi's genius. Fabregas, himself a great player once said that Messi is simply 'out of this world'. One of the best players Europe has produced said that no one can contest 'Ballon Dior' with Messi, not even the next three editions.

Those who really understand football know who Messi is, attest to his extra-ordinary skills and do not contest the fact that he is the greatest player today.

Let all the Messi haters, at least for once congratulate him for his superb performance. Todays' football is far advanced than when Pele or Mueller played. That is a fact. The game is more physical, more advanced, more thorough, and if you go by that you would probably agree that Messi has no equal. The only player ever that you could say was perhaps better than Messi is the great Maradona, but Maradona himself, claimed Messi is greater.

Like Messi, let us learn to be HUMBLE!

u are just wasting your time with these guys. Hatred has so be clouded their minds that they've lose their ability to think logically. Quite Amazing what hate can do to one. We, however, take solace that rationale unbiased minds like coaches and captains of national teams would vote who wins the ballon d'or. Not these haters here.

flinspiero: If u watch laliga very wel u wil undastand dat barca had already made team in laliga whch all dia midfilders has bin playin together 4 a very longtime compared to real madrid dat kips rotating dia midfielders.Wat am trying to say is dat any gud player can equally attain his peak while playin wit dis recent barca midfielders.Everybody knows dat without xavi,iniesta and busquet it wil be very hard 4 messi

ok if it was soooo easy to succeed at Barca, why didn't ibrahimovic become a hit? Why are villa and pedro not scoring as much goals as Messi.
Without Xavi and Iniesta, Messi has scored 12 goals for Argentina this year. Ronaldo could only manage 5 for Portugal. Give it up man.

Messi Broke a record that stood for a very long time, Ronaldo what record have you broken? Running around the pitch....lmao
Messi = Football God
Ronaldo = power bike

flinspiero: If ronaldo was to be in barca he must hav broken dis record for long.Do u believe dat?

how are we sure of that? Ronaldo football doesn't even suits Barca. He is dammn selfish. That's why he always gets fewer assists than Messi.

logica: I managed to make some sense out of the jumble of words. Let's use your logic a bit; if Pele considered himself a great player, he should not have played for Santos his entire life (never mind he played for Cosmos after he retired from active football). Santos was a ready made team abi? And in the Brazilian national team Pele was always surrounded by fantastic players. Once his team-mates of '58 and '62 World Cup triumphs retired, Mighty Pele could not manage to win the '66 World Cup. So why is he called King Pele after all?

the thing is CR7 fans are blinded by hate. They'd always look for a reason to belittle Messi's achievement. Trust me even if he moves to Epl and proved himself, these same haters will demand that he moves to Naija league.
Point is Messi and CR7 are both in la liga, if the league is easy ronaldo should be breaking his own record, no?

Donalð Genes: objection plss,messi can n'ver be the 'GOAT'when he is yet to smell that elusive world cup or european cup,all the best players have carried but why is ,essi own difft,let him leave barca and qo test himself with other clubs just like Ronaldo,zidane,pele,figo,Ronaldinho did,his sojourn with barca is lonq over due,am not saying he is not good but let him at least try other climes lets see how good he still will be,Ronaldo has done tgat,from Man utd to real and still doing what he knows best,#just facts#

base on this logic, the bast player on planet earth is Anelka. the guy has played for like a million teams. U my friend are a genius

luvola: if messi is truely the best ,let him leave spanish league a.k.a la liga and go to seria A or epl whether he will be scoring goals like basket ball.. If he is truely all time best footballer why is it that argentina didnt win the world cup?

dumbo, Messi has consistently being the top scorer in the UCL or u trying to say the kick and follow EPL is better than the UCL?

FACTS: NO BIAS
Topscorer La Liga
Messi - 23 goals
Falcao - 16 goals
Ronaldo - 13 goals
Penalty goals:
Falcao - 5
Ronaldo - 4
Messi - 1
Decisive/winner goals La Liga
Messi - 7
Falcao - 4
Ronaldo - 2

Deluded Ronaldo fans should chew on that...hahahaha

Mynd_44: Sometimes I feel like beating some people's head with a steel pipe

lol, chill bro...

newtontoyo: @Topic
Bought a registered 2002 Toyota Highlander 10months ago through NL.I actually went there with a mechanic,checked it out and paid for it only to find out 2 days later that its a 2002 model as against a 2004 model as advertised,Engine has been changed Twice !!!!and it was painted some few months before I bought it.Ended up spending a whole lot "renovating" it.It has not being a problematic one though but be that as it may,I'm done wit registered cars.

quite scary. But how come the "mechanic" you took along with you couldn't pick all these flaws? Oh well.

lacasa: If there is no federal character tomorrow, pipl from places like middle-belt and niger-delta wiill cry segregation, inaccess to opportunities, hausa/igbo/yoruba will dominate govt,...Blah! Blah!.

And vice-versa.. Na wa for my country pipl

the middle belt and the niger-delta have far more educated people than the hausa-fulani core north, so what are you talking about?

From previous posts, I learnt she (Ileke) schools in America. What a total waste of money. Selectively Comparing the best parts of Nairobi (the capital of a country) and the worst parts of many cities in Nigeria. An utterly bias comparison. All for what, to discredit your own.
Clearly from the pix posted by Rossike, Abuja is by miles more beautiful than all the pix of Nairobi u posted. U have a problem: self-hate.

Most that have genuinely fallen in love before esp. with naija gals have had their hearts shattered beyond repairs. They no longer have a heart to offer anyone and, by default, cannot fall in love again. That's why u see players everywhere.

Nice thread, quite helpful. Let's hear more experiences please.

Baby mama:
Wonders shall never cease
The same girl that told us how she treats her man is looking for a man on nairaland?
I knew that whole post was full of horse manure
How come you cannot get a man to stay despite the way you told us you treat them
I say you never begin and boy was I right on the money

leave the girl alone. you've got a daMmmmnnn ugly heart...that ugliness reflects in all your posts. I Wouldn't wish my worst enemy to end up with your type.

pfii: I can proudly raise my head up anywhere and at any time to say that the man who will eventually marry me is proudly a very lucky man. Even if he narrows it down to 1%, I am d 1% he's talking about!

oh Lawd this girl is too much. See how beautiful she looks even without posting her picture. I'm in Love.

So u mean guys should adjust their life styles just to make ladies happy. Just too many dammnn rules. All for what? To make the ladies happy. We are beginning to make hanging out/talking with ladies look like a JOB.

sting_224: stale news

why didn't u share all this while? I actually found this useful. Thanks @op

luvmijeje: Op what are u looking 4 in a girl?

JAMB question

Ikengawo: The british guy is 100% right. Look at this for example
The Eko Atlantic Project is the largest human works project in the history of west africa
It's several times larger, more useful and more complex then the great wonders of the world today, Eiffle Tower, Empire State Building, Big Ben, etc.
It's also one of the most innovative projects in the world in dealing with global warming.


This mammoth feat of human achievement and human vision is seldom if ever covered by the Nigerian press. In a country that is building the largest project since the pyramids of egypt "Man turns into a goat after killing wife" is the headline news and this work (eko) which if it were in america, or any more reasonable country would be the talk of the century, is completely ignored.

The result is i can bet money that 80% of non lagosian Nigerians don't know there's a new city being built in their own country.
This is how they can say something as stupid as "If there were good news to be reported". Nigerians don't life in reality, they create a hellish alternate universe that they view everything from that this is why that can't say anything good about their country. If you start thinking Nigeria is bad because of what nigerians say, remember what nigerians say about

their neighbor
their friends
their family members
opposite tribes
their own tribes men
their children
their life
and then their country


always negative. ALWAYS.

so dammnnn well said, sir.
When I read and hear all the negative stuffs about Nigeria, I begin to ask myself if I was living in a different country. Nigerians are just bitter, hateful, whiners. Nothing ever pleases them. All they do is whine, whine and whine the more...
NB, negative energy is contagious, stay away from pessimists.

Siena has been doing a great great job in this section. I read almost all his posts and they are very educating; heck I'm turning into a "mini auto Guru" myself, lol.
Seriously, the guy is doing such a wonderful job; one of the great guys here on NL. I also have that feeling that he is a nice decent guy in real life.
Thumbs up man.

Southerners will never leave the North cos there's nothing for them down South. As it is now, most parts of the SE are densely populated, how then do u intend to manage the close to 10million ibos that will be relocating?
TALK IS CHEAP

born2fuck: Do not condemn starttime, they have setanta who bought live right view of USA league,french league,holland league,scotland league and mc chaine sport who shown belgiam and portugal league, plus wednesday champion league , all these are Live startime, I may have to go back to DSTV anyway but will still subscribe to startime because DSTV so worst when it rains,

no EPL, la liga, serie A or even Bundesliga....in other words, star times only gives one access to the crappy leagues around. Doesn't sound like a good deal at all.

Buhahahahahahaha...now we know who the real parasites are; those who are trying soooooo hard to lump themselves with others...ibo kwenu

I totally agree with ify...

Thread won't go further than 2 pages...Nigerians hate good news about their country

afam4eva: They did not see it because most parts of Lagos don't look like this.

oh..STFU already U bleeping hater
