See format. It is possible that Davido gave some identities the same money that was transferred to him…just for publicity ![]() |
Penaldobembet is back with her trouble. Liverpool vs Barcelona (with Messi): 4:0 @Anfield Liverpool vs Man U (with Ronaldo): 5:0 @Trafford PSG vs Man City (without Messi) 1st leg: 0:2 PSG vs Man City (without Messi) 2nd leg: 1:2 PSG vs Man City (with Messi) 1st leg: 2:0 Man U vs Man City (with Ronaldo): 0:2 Looks like GOAT Ronaldo becomes EKUKE when faced against strong teams Like for GOAT of football, share for GOAT of Dubai |
Klass99:Lol. Nigerians can be so unprofessional in their dealings and here’s an example. I was notified of success in a recruitment via mail and phone call by Dangote refinery years ago and that I should get ready to resume for medicals the following month. Waited for like 2months and didn’t get any communication from them so I reached out to the HR in charge via mail and phone call but no response from their end. A year later, after I had already spent like 4 months into an offer elsewhere that paid around 5times Dangote’s offer(knew this because some of my colleagues worked there), someone from the HR (perhaps someone else) sent a mail to me to resume the following Monday. You could imagine the insolence from their end. Didn’t even bother replying them so they’d have a taste of their own medicine. After like 3missed calls and another mail reminder the Tuesday following the day I was told to visit their office in Lag, I conceded and sent them a mail telling them to literally shove their offer letter up their asses as they did a terrible thing by not updating me on the status earlier on and their poor communication and information management processes. Was my action unprofessional? Yes. But it felt good and still does ![]() |
…she took her phone to her mum while we were on a video call without seeking for my consent. It was a really awkward moment ![]() |
Where is mr. New challenger? ![]() |
FOLYKAZE:How? Has human brutality ever been promoted by any sovereign nation? |
I endorse this law! Some of you wouldn’t understand. Used to have a neighbor that chained his dog outside whether it rained or the sun was hot. |

Pendu just running amok ![]() Pendu should just retire abeg |
Raydos:Train it. Who knows in the next 13 years, it becomes a teenage mutant ninja turtle. |
Kingcalls:Abeg highlight where I mentioned that he played left back abeg ![]() As for defensive midfield, I said Messi drops momentarily to DMF. If you haven’t seen Messi drop that deep, then you clearly don’t watch Messi play hence it is not surprising that you dont know what you are talking about |
Kingcalls:1. You are missing the basic point. Messi has played all the positions except goal keeping, central defence and side back. 2. Messi has played central forward, Second striker, left wing, right wing, attacking midfield, central midfield and at some point in games, defensive midfield. As Pep, one of the most respected and experienced coaches would say, Messi is number 9, 10, 11, 8, 7, 6 and 4. 3. Most attackers don’t maintain the position the play. That someone is a striker on paper does not mean they maintain that position. Messi as a striker is not the same as Cavani or Lewandoski as striker. Most times, Messi is a false 9 meaning he is a coded midfielder whose job is to draw center backs into the field to create pockets of space for wingers and some central midfielders to exploit. Only creative players do that. Aside Messi, Firmino and Van Persie, we’ve not really had much false 9s that were effective. Similarly, Ronaldo is a traditional false left winger who starts at the left wing but cuts in centrally. So he is basically number 11 and 9. 4. Ronaldo only plays two positions. Number 9 and number 11. You only see him japa to the right wing (7) if the defender on the left wing is too tough for him. Ronaldo is a very good finisher but not a creative playmaker. He wouldn’t even compete with Liverpool’s firmino or Coutinho in in playmaking to be honest. But he is the best striker the world have seen in my opinion. 5. Don’t let your love for Ronaldo blind you from the truth. If you want to have an honest unbiased opinion as to who is better between the two, listen to experts and people with experience in the game. Find out frm world class coaches and football captains their opinion on who is best and why and stop following what short sighted fans say. While I respect the opinion of football fans, I think it is prudent to pay more attention to the opinion of subject experts |
How far with Premier League Champion of the month? They no nominate any? ![]() |
Numerouno94:Lol. Everyone knows you are referring to obembet ![]() |
ojaysam25:Fair enough. But the conclusion of the argument would be that Messi still eclipses Ronaldo in goal scoring and assist tally. Don’t forget that Messi is not a striker. He starts from the wing and shuffles around depending on need. Ronaldo is always around the 18yard box waiting to score. It is expected that he ought to have more goals that someone who is more of a midfielder |
ojaysam25:But Messi started playing 3 years later than Ronaldo. Imagine if he had started just one year later than Ronaldo, I am pretty sure his total non penalty goals would have exceeded Ronaldo’s total number of goals with penalties inclusive |
OJEEMAH:lol. Now compared to Ronaldo, Messi has more non penalty goals, more non penalty free kicks, more assists, highest goals scored in a season, played fewer games, has more individual awards, more international awards, more club awards, more ballon d’ors, more World Cup achievements, more golden boots …yet according to some people, Ronaldo is better than Messi simply because he has more penalties and played in more clubs. To be honest, the biggest mystery that would forever remain unsolved is how Ronaldo and his PR guys were able to convince atleast half of the soccerverse that he is remotely close to Messi ![]() |
ElasticStone:This might look like a joke but you actually have a point. Lets say two hypothetical players exist. One scores 10 penalties making him top scorer for a particular league, and the second player, the runner up has say 7 goals consisting of 4 out of the 18 yard shot goals, 2 free kicks and 1 in tap in. It would be grossly unfair to the runner up of the golden boot were given to the 10 penalties player just simply because he has more goals. I actually feel golden boot award should be reviewed to offer some level of down grade on penalty goals. They could say 3 penalties = 1 non penalty goal or thereabout. |
ojaysam25:Actually, it is Messi that is ahead with 1 non penalty goal |
: ElasticStone:I no like wahala o. Let them feel free to do as they please ![]() |
BlackHummer:LMAO I heard Messi even has more career non penalty hat tricks than Ronaldo. Will search for a web link that corroborates this. |
Ronaldo: Number of career goals: 748 Number of career goals less penalties: 651 Messi: Number of career goals: 711 Number of goals less penalties: 652 Source: https://www.messivsronaldo.app/detailed-stats/goals-without-penalties/ https://messivsronaldo.net/all-time-stats/ Cc: lalasticlala, semid4lyfe, honeric01 |
Martinelli35:Had a similar experience too. Was on a 3rd date with a Jamaican-Brit back in Manchester when she asked for my nationality. When I told her Nigerian, her countenance said it all ![]() She said it was hard to believe I was Nigerian cause I seemed different from what she had heard about Nigerians. Same shock greeted me when my flatmate learned I was Nigerian. She said if she had known earlier that I was Nigerian, she wouldn’t have taken the flat in the first place ![]() Guys, our brothers don spoil our market all over the world o. |
The last time Ronaldo scored this type of goal, serdine was 150 Naira. Watch how “farmer’s league” merchants will avoid this thread ![]() |
There’s a group of people that will avoid this thread like plague |
Somethings cannot just work. Everything is subject to entropy |
If Ronaldo likes, let him sell all his shirts and under pants in 5 micro seconds that one no concern me as long as it does not translate to individual brilliance that draws awards. And Dubaioon d’Or does not count as award pls. |
It does not matter what Jersey number he wears, be it 7 or one million. A Pendu will always be a Pendu. Let’s see how the no.7 Jersey will give him Ballon D’Or this year
