Topmaike007: lies from pit of hell Ronaldo did not score in final 2016 but he was the highest goal scorer,he was the highest goal scorer that Year he collected UEFA nation league.. on Benzema case he was the best player of UEFA nation league and the overall highest goal scorer,his goal won the best goal of the tournament against Spain when France did a comeback and clinch it this season .and he won Spanish super cup,and now Madrid is collecting Laliga this week..Messi no do reach big Benz,If Messi can collect it without ucl and laliga Big Benz can do it
What he (the comment quoted) meant was that CR7 wasn't the Top scorer, Top assists, Top chances created and Man of the Tournament in one single tournament he played.
Also Madrid has lost more games in this champions league as Barca lost between 2018 - 2020 (combined) .
Even in Laliga, Messi had more goals & assists than Benzema has currently - last season.
The same Mob voted for Benzema as third best BDO even though he won no major trophy last season.
I certainly think he(Benz) deserves it this year though. Hope he wins.
jerrisonjeff: True...e might not be scam.. Most of them (consulting firms) does that.... This one even try Some will collect it for 3month sef... Every month dey get their 20percent and you take 80...... for 3months
No legit consulting firm collects part of your NET salary. Your NET is already after their cut!
mrkings84: Hahahaha..... I remember when Ronaldo and Messi fans usually clash online, Ronaldo fans will tell Messi fans that Messi can only excel in Barca, but Messi fans would not accept.
Ronaldo has played actively in 3 different top Europe leagues and did well.
But you see, I feel Ronaldo fans were right after all cos since Messi left Barca he has been a shadow of himself.
On the other hand Ronaldo who is 2 year older than Messi is still waxing strong. Just imagine if Ronaldo had gone to Manchester City, by now he would have been among the nominees for next Balloon d'or.
In my opinion I think Ronaldo is actually the real GOAT!
Messi's goal scoring form at PSG has been poor. Fact. However, the bolded is NOT true.
We've seen Messi win the Man of the Tournament of every International Tournament he has played in - even before winning last year — outside Barcelona. I.e. with Argentina.
You also made a conjecture that CR7 would have succeeded at MCity. Possibly. But the same people said CR7 gave RM the UCL. Why didn't he achieve same at Juventus?
Would you also think Messi would have done well at ManCity too?
Funding-based valuations are to be taken with a pinch of salt. (See Wework or even Theranos) The only valuations that truly matter is an exit. IPO or Acquisition.
A product/entity is only worth what another is willing to pay for it(in an arm's length deal). Anything else is, well a bubble.
DoveXlover: Since Elon Musk acquired twitter for 45 billion dollars, i have been thinking.
We all know that twitter was founded by Americans in America and there are other companies from America that i believe are worth more than 40 billion dollars.
From social media companies to food companies to Pepsi to coca cola and many more companies built from the scratch in America that are now worth over 50 billion dollars.
So the question is do we have home made companies built from the scratch whether offline or online that are worth more than 40 billion dollars in Nigeria? I will like to know their names?
Note!!! I am talking about built from scratch Nigeria companies whether it's social media or food companies or otherwise.
The Top 30 African companies by market Capitalization are worth a combined ~$117bn as at Mar 31 2022.
The MTN Group is the largest [African ] company by market cap. It is worth ~ $24bn. Dangote group a distant second at ~$11bn.
If there'll be a ~ $40bn company in Africa, it'll be Naspers. However it's not currently listed but its portfolio companies are quite close when combined.
N.B. Private Companies were obviously excluded from this report BUT it's hard to think of any African Private company up to the mettle of a JCB (UK) or Leibherr (Germany). And both these companies aren't even up to $40bn yet.
topcatking: The West, clutching at straws, as usual.
The West have got their demons BUT earlier this year, they were the first to tell us that Russia would invade Ukraine in Feb 2022 shortly after the Summary Olympics in China. Even after Moscow denied this.
dyera: Messi is a player that cannot win trophies without xavi, iniesta. PSG fans are starting to see Messi for the fraudster that he is. Imagine getting paid $1m weekly, yet he's unable to win matches for them.
Be specific. If you say UCL, That's fine. But trophies generally without Xavi & Iniesta is a lie.
He won Laliga, CDR ×2 & COPA America 2021 without them.
obembet: Why won’t he be booed! He’s paid astronomical wages n he looks lost in Ligue 1… there’s times you just have to face it, he’s not been good! Not really himself.
To me, Messi’s performance out of BARCA dose not surprise me at all. It was predicted. PSG has won the League 1 x9 without Messi. This doesn’t make any difference.
Don't say outside Barca. Say : In PSG.
We already saw his performance (an example) outside Barca in 2021 COPA America for Argentina.
Ausmos: What makes Wike think he would win? The only advantage he's got is the oil money. In a fair and balanced contest I don't see Wike defeating Obi. If Wike wins the PDP ticket, then it will be an easy ride for APC cause the north will not vote Wike, Ganduje made that clear.
You may be right. However, the North (NW & NE) doesn't NEED to vote for you to win a presidential election.
We saw it live in 2011 when they (NW& NC) voted Buhari BUT he lost. You do need at least 2 Major regions though.
pocohantas: This one pass Lagos matter o. My heart just dey beat fast as I was reading comments. This is tyranny. On top person money? I wonder what is the catch because I would instantly be turned off by a house with numerous flats like say na barracks or university off-campus lodge.
To be fair though even those N40m+ houses in Lekki (where a few 'celebs' live) are Kind of bunched up like barracks.
Kingsnairaland: NATO fuelled fire and should be the one to extinguish it by stopping expansion and simply stating that Ukraine will never be a part of NATO to de-escalate the situation. Also, sanctions makes matters worse & will enrage Putin further. The idea is to de-escalate to save lives, not add fuel to fire. The U.S wants to prolong the war.
NATO obviously knew the consequences of their expansion and encircling Russia to threaten them. The U.S clearly provoked instability and chaos. While I’m against war, it’s important to understand the historical and geopolitical contexts that led to this in order to SAY NO TO THE PROVOCATION OF WAR and FOR WAR NOT TO REPEAT ITSELF. Putin sadly lost his patience after 15 years and took the U.S cunning bait.
It’s heart breaking Ukraine has been used by the U.S as a pawn and now cannon fodder to fight Russia on their behalf. The U.S has a track record of sponsoring colour revolutions/mayhem around the globe in the guise of democracy and a noble cause. The truth is they ONLY allow pro-American puppet regimes to exist. That’s the typical U.S imperialist playbook. Their greedy goal is money and global hegemony. Don’t forget they LIED in order to bomb Iraq and stole money and resources such as oil from the Middle East.
SADLY THE WINNERS ARE ALWAYS THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WHO PROFIT BILLIONS from the GLOBAL ARMS TRADE. That’s a POWERFUL MOTIVATION TO FUEL FIRE and PROVOKE AGGRESSION and INSTABILITY AROUND THE GLOBE. Military arms prices have soared lately.
The U.S administration is using the same bait towards China. It’s media echo chambers are spreading their smear campaign against China to gain public consent for potential war with China and will use Taiwan as their cannon fodder. The non stop demonisation of China and Chinese people have caused rising brazen and deadly attacks against people of Chinese ethnicity. These politicians and it’s mainstream media are toxic with their influence to spread hate and division. It’s ironic that the U.S proclaims to hail human rights when they blatantly lied to illegally invade and killed many innocent civilians for over a decade. How can people still trust them is beyond me. They sure are superior at packaging themselves as the heroes and packaging countries they hate as villains.
What expansion are you guys even talking about sef.
Latvia & Estonia have both been members of NATO while being border countries to RUSSIA. Why hasn't Russia bombed them? And the Same Russia invaded a Nation for 'nursing' the intention of joining NATO even when the nation hasn't even joined.
I'm yet to get a cogent reason for this invasion.
If indeed Russia had no hands in the Fight in Donbas & Ukraine was just killing 'Civilians' as you've argued for 'over a decade', How many Civilians would remain there after a decade ?
Ukraine has just been invaded 9 weeks ago and close to 1/5 of the country has fled & yet you claim that Donbas civilians were killed for 10 years YET people still live there ?
foryourmindlol: Difference is that Buhari has never done what he was promising you.
This man took Anambra from one of the worst states in Nigeria to the best. Till today, Anambra is always on top position and always top 2 or top 3 in economy.
Top 2 in what exactly? And don't give me the WAEC scores ranking. That's a Commissioner-like achievement.

rottennaija: In geopolitics, might determines right. If you know what that means, you will understand why germany has not been allowed to have an army by the US and why the US can force germany to commit economic suicide. Might determines right.
You have a point out NOT totally TRUE.
For instance, the US has long been pushing Germany to up their military spending & consequently their NATO contributions but they have NOT. Because of their avowed reputation from the past.
They (Germany) only just pledged to commit more after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. IF you're correct why didy they respond to US persuasion before now?
Johnrake69: America is still the only country to have used a nuclear weapon. I guess the occupants in Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have preferred to add something to the Japanese constitution than face an atomic bomb
Yes, you are right about America being the first.
However, they (America) developed it first. And BECAUSE of what we saw in Hiro & Naka, the World has seen how dangerous it was to use a Nuclear weapon.
They (Japan) attached the USA unprovoked. You don't attach nations unwarrantedly in the manner Japan did. Be a aware that the Japanese Empire was a Colonizer, not the 'cool' Japan you see today. The US 'calmed' them down.
Johnrake69: Well... The west policy is to fight until the death of the last Ukrainian.
Any Ukrainian supporting Zelensky is an ignorant fellow
Zelensky wants Crimea back though, people in Crimea voted to stay under Russia. He wants to retain Donbass region though, those regions haven't been under Ukrainian rule since 2014.
Are these not madness?
And going against Russia a nation armed with over 10,000 nuclear warheads.
Ukraine will be worst than Afghanistan and Iraq combined. And will spend the next century to repay debt.
The only realistic approach is to go for a negotiated settlement.
Let go of Crimea since the people in Crimea wants to remain with Russia.
Recognize Donbass region as an independent nation since they haven't been under Ukrainian rule since 2014.
NATO neutrality boldly written in their Constitution.
I agree with you except for your last point.
No sovereign nation should be cowed through WAR by another nation as to what to put in their Constitution. Otherwise that's a laughable sovereignty.
Also Russia has Borders with Latvia & Estonia. And these countries are part of NATO. Why is Russia not invading them?
Enyimbamercedes: Our press and the abuse of the word "allegedly"!
They didn't allegedly open fire, they actually opened fire and there are videos everywhere to show this
The press needs to grow a pair of balls a d report the news as it is. Using the word allegedly to remove any association with the news or prevent sanctions is really silly!
Allegedly doesn't make it any less true. Allegedly doesn't negate truth.
It removes liability for the press Incase the matter is legally treated.
However, we've seen stories of Police men killed by the alleged UGM/ESN & some (presumably) Igbos said (with certainty) that such killing/destruction was done by the D.S. even though they weren't sure of this.
foryourmind: Oga you're very foolish. What is hard for you to accept? The people said they don't want One Nigeria, you're going there with soldiers to kill them.
You have not finished securing and feeding the people that willingly accepted to be part of Nigeria, you left thousands of starving and poverty-stricken Northern and Southwest almajiri to be fighting a people who said they don't want to be part of Nigeria.
Why is military patrolling in Igboland while the entire northern Nigeria has been taken over by Fulani bandits? Don't they have better things to do that to kill innocent people and try to pin senseless accusations on their heads?
See you writing "ibo". You Nigerians are disrespectful and shameless about it. How many times will they tell you that it is Igbo not ibo? After insulting the same people you go and ask them to accept your senseless Nigeria animal zoo.
There are Igbos who do want 'one Nigeria Though. But others never 'allow' their voices heard.
Morever, isn't it ironical that the Igbos who are the most internal migrating group Don't want one Nigeria, yet they have the highest number in other parts of Nigeria?
Upon getting Biafra, would they ALL 'leave' Nigeria? I ask this because in 2020 I saw hundreds of Igbos Maltreated by the Government in Ghana for doing there business peacefully & I couldn't reconcile why They didn't see the import of cohesion beacuse of that.
