As expected, the footballing world has been assembling on Messi' page to pay homage to the greatest sports person the world has ever known.
Your favourite superstars from rival clubs and leagues past and present are literally "marking" the register.

BlueAngel444:
Dude it obviously not possible for a player not to get paid for playing

But come o, wetin you dey type self

Aren't you and your gang asking Messi to play for free?

So he'd have to start a GoFundMe to take care of his family and thousands of others who depend on him for their upkeep, including his foundation, right?

I want you to repeat this weird logic on Twitter now that Messi fans are on rampage asking for blood. Just try tweeting it then see what happens within the next 2 hours.

ddippset:
Dont mind these Messi asss lickers disguising as Barca fans.
See them struggling to defend Messi..

Which kain yeye loyalty be that? If he is truly loyal he should be playing for free for Barca. He should reject every penny.

Who is he deceiving with fake loyalty?

If it involved just sunbathing in the 18-yard box while a Dybala, Benzema, Modric or Kroos does all the work for me, then sure, it's alright to play for free. After all, it's just holidaying - any drunkard can tap-in.

But when he practically carry a team and have been doing so for years? Even if Ddippset has to be offered to some cruel spirit in exchange for money to pay for his services, then it's justified. I and hundreds of millions of other true football fans would vote in support of it.

BlueAngel444:
OMG this guy is an emotional manipulator, my my


Laporte prevented Messi from literally owning the fvcking club. Imagine owning Messi so much money, Messi should have rejected salary and become worshipped by the fans na.

All this Hollywood tears. Like a Wife crying because she divorced her broke husband

You're sick. Nobody who knows their worth would ever offer a professional service to a business for free. You expect him not to be paid a salary when he's offering services to a business.

You don't offer free services to a money-making venture - you offer discounts. You can only offer free services to a non-profit-making venture. That's how professionalism works. That's why Messi used to attend and donate to UNICEF functions free of charge.

Emotionality and unprofessionalism like that is why many of you do ads for companies or brands without a proper agreement then later complain about being used.


You should be more worried about why Iniesta got a better reception when he left Barça while your precious Pendu was shunned and booed by Madrid fans for years till he was kicked out.
I'm not even going to mention Messi' reception - there's already fear there might be riots at Camp Nou by fans who blame La Liga and the club admins for letting Leo go.

Blue Angel? You are nothing more than an Avatar in the scheme of things.

Everyday Yokozuna parrots nonsense about Right-leaning folks being all KKK and cultists but here is Hillary Clinton and so many thought leaders of the Left hobnobbing with the most vicious KKK leaders.

Like I posited days ago, I'm holding a large mirror to your faces so your hypocritical reflections would constantly look back at you all.

patrickmuf:
See Akwa-Cross folks...

Akparawa, afo ado akop usem?

Even more reasons and examples those against #NotTooYoungToRun would use against youths genuinely seeking power to change the status quo.

Not surprising.

I called it first. I knew AlexReports was bargaining. Now even more people wouldn't take youths seeking power seriously.

DissTroyer:
Nope. Alex Reports wouldn't go to the polls. By October or September, he'd step down and move his followers (scanty) to support the highest bidder. One of the three main contenders.

That ticket was either paid for by one of these people or he's standing in lieu for one of them.

Weeks to the election, there'd be a televised stepping down of some other propped up mushroom party candidates and they'd be paid off. If you have been within governorship election inner circles, you'd understand this game.

raumdeuter:
When did Meghan McCain become a MAGA defender? These are the type of falsehood that democrats peddle everytime despite most people knowing her to be very anti Trump

She stated that even when I was analogizing during a back-and-forth yesterday that the Left have began to romance the Bush family and McCain's since both expressed dislike or disapproval of Trump's candidature.

These are the real cultists on this thread who just gorge on the nonsense they feed on on gossip blogs like BuzzFeeds written and peddled by woke, simpleton-esque teenagers who are only riding on trends for clicks and views.

benalvino3:
Stop lying.
When Cuomo and other democrats were saying they won't take the trump vaccine, trump was urging people to take it.

Anyways, there is no cult and no leader says what you claimed. This is why Diss.Troy was on you yesterday. Making lies as you go.

I used to use "muddying the waters" as a term for anyone who uses chaotic tactics on this thread when they lose an argument, even on PrideofLincoln. Then, on closer inspection, I realised it doesn't actually apply to him.

What PrideofLincoln actually does is poisoning the waters with falsehood. He spews enough poisonous falsehood and hypocrisy that if he ever goes for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean or any ocean for that matter, all the aquatic life would die immediately.

Sysdatek:
He is claiming the club social media are praising Messi
They were preparing bye bye videos since
Laporta Is a very dishonest fraud like his predecessors

This is a complete conspiracy theory. Barça Twitter and Facebook handles are the most active club team handles on social media. Even in real time, on matchdays, they produce graphics and videos of halftime and full-time at an astonishingly fast rate.

This can be corroborated by scrolling through their timelines on both social media platforms even months ago. There are enough videos of Messi on the internet documenting his achievements in the Barça shirt over the years.

There are enough videos of Gerrard Pique on YouTube to make a goodbye video of him in less than 2 hours. Without watermarks and all of high quality.

And no, the video thanking Messi which is about 3 minutes long was only posted 13 hours ago on the official Barça Facebook page while the announcement that he'd be leaving Barcelona was made over 36 hours ago. https://www.facebook.com/197394889304/posts/10160690574029305/

Enough time for even an amateur video editor to put a goodbye video together.

Stop falsehood that can easily be countered and the authenticity negated.

Sysdatek , fioko akop usem ke afo ado?
That would make me go easy.

Neobulletzz:
The fact that Messi is not the GOAT doesn’t mean he was a useless player, he is also a great player up there with Ronaldo but Ronaldo is the GOAT, no dispute about that
Madrid didn’t take a hit because their play wasn’t centered around Ronaldo unlike Barca where the whole play is centered around Messi, he is the one creating for the team and scoring as well and now that he is gone, it would surely tell so like I said dem go beat una like drum. How I wish say Barca dey EPL, una no go smell top 4 Walai, just be say other club for Spain apart from those three useless

I'd rather spend my weekend perforating holes in a thousand styrofoam plates with a needle than argue the already-proven supernaturality of Messi with you.

Any coach who builds his team around a tap-in merchant who lounges in the 18-yard box waiting to be fed should be high-fived in the face with a plank. No coach has, no coach would.

Sysdatek:
Nothing you type above had any concrete facts

Really? Go through my post history and quoted posts on Nairaland - I never make a claim I can't back up or have evidence for.


1. Messi chose and supported Laporta for presidency of the several others who contested and the rest of the Barça stakeholders followed suit:

https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2524294-lionel-messi-reportedly-wants-joan-laporta-to-win-barcelona-presidential-vote.amp.html

2. Ronaldo was shunned by Real Madrid and wasn't celebrated (still isn't celebrated) after Papa Perez chased him out. #SayNoToFraudsters

Again, Mama Jamiu's sour palmwine would continue to hamper your cognitive abilities.

You either stop consuming it or stop visiting this thread. This is not a psychiatric home.

For the sake of your loved ones, do seek help.

Sysdatek:
Laporta is the typical Nigerian politician

Used Messi to campaign . Won elections and dumped Messi
He knew what he was doing all along

Man is class less

Contrary to your fictitious claims, Messi chose Laporta. Laporta also made Messi promise he'd stay if he contests. That is, if Messi had ever hinted he's leaving Barça of his own accord, Laporta wouldn't have contested. All the fans and stakeholders stood behind Messi's choice.

All Barcelona's social media accounts have been mourning the departure of Messi in the last 48 hours non-stop, and posting videos and pictures of his greatest moments in the Barcelona shirt.

Pendu didn't even get as much as a mention by Real Madrid handles when Papa Perez chased him out - discarded and forgotten faster than a shit-coated toilet paper.

I've cautioned to you to go easy on the adulterated sour palmwine Mama Jamiu sells down your street. Look at you disgracing the family name online now.

Neobulletzz:
Finished Club, dem go beat una like drum this season

You realize you've unwittingly admitted Messi singlehandedly carried the club and is the greatest with this statement, right?

Penaldo was chased and Madrid didn't take any hit in performance - still a formidable club in the league and UCL, the players didn't care. The thought of Messi leaving has caused a pandemic in the La Liga.

There are levels to this G.O.A.T. thing.

dultmax:
I dyed it brown bro...

LOL. Native doctor? How do the women in your life take it though?

Keep your full beard richly dark, black, moisturised and properly shaped.

Wait... Is IBB now a democrat? When did he become a statesman in the true sense of the word?

The brazen-faced hypocrisy of trying to come across as sanctimonious when he singlehandedly destroyed all democratic gains we've made as a country by annulling the most free and fair election in Nigeria today, further corrupting the legislature and judiciary, and completely devaluing the naira.

The same way he sold his brother-in-coup-plotting Buhari to Nigerians in 2015 and was hailed as an "elder statesman".

IBB is proof that karma doesn't exist or is too slow or life would never give you what you deserve.

budaatum:
You'd soon be stating how the person you accuse me of being like is attacking me, but all you're doing really is disregard the facts and the need for honesty, to bait by making things up as you go along.

PrideofLincoln might attack you or insult you or you are now at opposite sides but, like him, you muddy the waters during a debate by shifting goalposts and trying to insert words the other person never did or stated.

A person's perspective doesn't make them immune to hypocrisy or brazen-faced lying. You both no longer agree with each other but you are Siamese twins joined at the hips and shoulders by hypocrisy and lies.

PrideofLincoln1:
Like i said, Nairaland is the only thing you and i have in common and that's temporal. By the way, i stii have my job and i haven't been indicted for felony by Cook County State's Attorney. Waiting for that indictment from you and your American lawyers that are certified to practice in the State of Illinois. Lol

We have a quick way to remedy that and that argument brought about the excommunication of Budaatum last Saturday.

It's simple: Like I have stated and dared you in the past, I dare you to doxx anyone on this thread or be involved in their doxxing. Those are the conditions I have given you since I stated I'd make you get in trouble with the law about a month ago.

It's simple: Prove I can't do anything or shame me as a chest beater by doxxing anyone on this thread.

My antecedence on Nairaland easily proves (and this can be testified to by hundreds of Nairalanders), if I won't do it or don't know I can or don't have evidence for it, I won't dare you with it, bring it to your notice or even state it at all.

You know what to do. Do it and let's see what happens within 7 -10 days of filing and following up on the notice.

PrideofLincoln1:
Like i said, you and i do not swim in the same river. If in doubt, you know what to do with your brethren. You are seven thousand miles away yearning up where you don't even make a meaningful contribution. Keep yapping, it's your 1st Amendment rights.

Are you done?

Here are the points so far:

1. You accused people on this thread of supporting murderous Fulani herdsmen - I called you out for falsehood and posited you are the one who mocks Nigerian residents with cruel deaths at the hands of terrorists.


2. You accused people of supporting the Proud Boys, KKK/Klan - I proved you were lying and provided proof you were the one supporting an extremist group like Antifa.

3. You termed "Papa Bush" a model Conservative - I did comparative analysis to prove your support (the Left) for the Bush family only began in 2016 when they were against Trump's emergence. You love them because they dislike Trump, even though there's evidence of you (the Left) demonising these same people for years until 2016.

Every other thing is you trying to divert attention. If there's anything you should have learnt about me it's that I'm focused and never deviate from issues. Everything I state (even if it's 10,000 comments) is to buttress a point i.e in this case, the hypocrisy of the Left and you especially.
I don't get distracted like you who jumps from topic to topic without ever hitting the home run.
You argue and spew claims, I debate. Debates are about doubling down on a/some point(s) you set out to make known without straying.

Watch and learn.

PrideofLincoln1:
Do i give a fvck about you. You don't even count in my orbit because this is the only thing you and i have in common in life and that's temporal too. You are too full of your vain self.

Yep! Definitely your time of the month. With gender fluidity being the norm in your circle and amongst your ilk, it isn't farfetched to assert you are a menstruating man.

Fits of anger, needless irritable responses and throwing tantrums. Those are the telltale signs. Yes, including mood swings. 2 hours ago you were in a bright mood but you just switched even though nobody has used abusive words on you so far.

No wonder the Amazon girl clings to you on this thread - you are her soul sister.

PrideofLincoln1:
Suits yourself. I don't need to go around the circle with you as an American expert that you are.

No, you don't need to.

But you can make conjectures and lay false accusations while setting and changing the parameters of what and who constitute the truth and "real conservatives" based on your ever-changing standards.

Think of me as holding a large, full-length mirror constantly in your face on this thread.

PrideofLincoln1:
You are full of yourself. Any American in America knows when we say Papa Bush, we are referring to Bush Snr but that's not a surprise coming from you.

No, you referred to the ones who had died as "late" but Bush as "Papa Bush". There's only one former POTUS Bush still alive and he's old enough to be referred to as "Papa Bush". I'm using your very words against you.

The Left's seeming romance and love for the Bush Family only began in 2016 and that was when it filtered into the media that Bush Jnr and the Bush family were against the candidacy of Donald Trump. (Enemy of my enemy.)

Just like the Left trolled John McCain for years and worse even when he was vying against Obama but the sudden love for him began when he opposed Trump's candidacy. You are still bitter about the outcome of the 2016 elections.

I'm deliberately typing in a somber, relaxed tone to drive home the point and not to let you gloss over your many blunders.

PrideofLincoln1:
Why don't you hush your mouth if you cannot comprehend. I said Papa Bush and that means Bush Snr whom i almost voted for when he ran against Gov Dukakis. Comprehension is truly an art form which you are lacking . Papa Bush means Senior not the Junior Bush who was a predecessor of President Obama.

Stop being clever by half. You used "Papa Bush" in the present tense. Bush Snr is late.
Interestingly, you referred to the other persons as late so you knew what you were doing.

You never stated "Late Papa Bush". Bush Jnr is also old enough to be qualified as "Papa Bush" as the only Former POTUS named "Bush" still alive.

See? You make random statements then try to backtrack when exposed. You've proven to be dishonest with your comments so far so every post or accusation you make has to be extra scrutinized.

PrideofLincoln1:
Conservatism doesn't equal racism and that's a big difference. There are conservatives like Papa Bush, Late Congressman Jack Kemp and many others that flaunt their conservatism without sucking to Nazis and Klans.

The hilarious irony of hailing Bush as the ideal statesman and Conservative when you and everyone on the left spent decades criticising him as everything wrong with Conservatism and being the Poster Child of White Elitism.

The only reason you support Bush now is because he's anti-Trump - "the enemy of my enemy is my friend ".
It's like those who hailed IBB as a "proper" statesman for supporting Buhari's presidential bid in 2015 even though they spent years accusing him of ruining Nigeria's economy, corruption and truncating a free and fair election.

Or, maybe you support Bush because, like your tin-god Obama who fueled and funded the destruction of the Middle East and North under the guise of the Arab Spring and allowed weapons from Benghazi into Sub-Saharan Africa to bolster hitherto ragtag groups into the most deadly terrorists, Bush invaded and destroyed Afghanistan.

The joke writes itself.

PrideofLincoln1:
I am replying you and not your two brethen here for a reason. I used fulani as a sympton of the nazi lovers here supporting Proud boys and their ilks. You can make whatever you want to about that. I know the danger of racism unlike you and your ilks. It's guys like you that will shout about Fulanis domination of Nigeria but you will support Proud boys and their ilks in America and the difference is you get your experience of America from Google and Wikipedia while i get mine from living all my life here. You can believe whatever you want to believe and that is your right but i know the side that's very deadly and dangerous in America.

See? Another conjecture. Never on this thread has anyone on the Right or Independents support the Proud Boys or the KKK. All local-searches of "Proud Boys", "KKK" or "Klan" on Nairaland filtered to this section and thread have revealed none of the guys you accuse support them. It's always been of you and yours making false allegations of these guys supporting the extremists without proof, not even as much as a quoted post.

The irony is, you support and defend the extremist and fascist antics and activities of Antifa on this thread. Always have excused away their actions.

Gaslighting is dangerous. Blackmail is too. People like you go about damaging the reputation of others with false allegations like its some weird sport. If this thread were on Facebook and Twitter, your continuous accusations without proof would have have ruined the careers and fortunes of these guys.

You can make your conjectures or arguments without extreme falsehood and damaging lies you peddle. It's way different from the Umudike or 30K jokes. Those are understandable as just banter.

You don't have to change but I don't have to stop calling you out on it every time I notice it either.

PrideofLincoln1:
Garbage in garbage out and coming from you that supports Nazis, Klans and Proud boys like your brethren here is not surprising. I used Fulani herders as an illustration of loudmouths here supporting Proud Boys and Klans in America. What part of that is hard for you to comprehend.

No, you didn't. Fulani Herdsmen are Fulani Herdsmen, Proud Boys and the KKK are exactly what they are.

You specifically lied, stating the guys support Fulani Herdsmen killing their people (Nigerians) . Don't try to backtrack now.

You lied and to a casual observer or one who wouldn't bother to confirm the veracity of your claims, he/she would run with the notion you're propagating that the guys (and by extension, we) support Fulani Herdsmen killing our people (other Nigerians).

That was dishonest but I am not surprised. I've always accused you and Budaatum especially of constantly muddying the waters to blackmail. You're only giving even more credence to that assertion.

dultmax:
If you like mine.... I will give you the secret codedly

Yours are browning-off at the edges. A healthy full beard shouldn't do that. My beard length is almost the length of yours with a full, lined and connected upper lip moustache but everything is still richly black and dark.

If you use relaxers then stop. One of the best treatments for a full beard is applying lukewarm water to it as many times as posible during the day and combing it. Basically, as many times as you use a restroom.

Chemicals would thin-out your hair follicles or bleach them.

PrideofLincoln1:
Silence is the best answer for these two fools that will support the Fulani herders killing their own people in Nigeria. Don't need to converse with these mentally deranged idiots anymore. Gorge yourself to death on your lunacy. I am not going back to the sewage with you.

The problem especially with you especially is you lie brazenly and create alternate facts to suit your own agenda.

A quick local-search on Nairaland in the Foreign Affairs Section shows the only moniker which has mentioned Fulani or Fulani Herdsmen on this thread in any form in the last 3 weeks has been yours/you. https://www.nairaland.com/search?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C3348565311

Yet here you are positing that the guys here support murderous Fulani herdsmen. If anything, you are the one who mocks Nigerians that they'd be murdered by killer herdsmen for your own cruel satisfaction.

For anyone visiting this thread for the first time, you would have successfully made them turn against the people you are gaslighting and blackmailing with your untrue constructs. And this is how Cancel Culture begins.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Oldboss:
we have the fire power to win the league this season even the Ucl
playing of entertainment football has passed, now it all about winning so me i still know that a front line of Griezmann Depay and Fati
can do better

Playing entertaining football is why Barça is Barça. Ever heard of tiki taka?

Playing entertaining football is one of the reasons why Barcelona, Borrusia Dortmund and Arsenal generate a lot from ticket sales even at some of the most expensive stadium ticket rates and always have packed stadia even though the later two haven't been really successful in many years.

Fans want a show. Football is entertainment.
