The FIFA Best Player Awards was held yesterday, 17th December 2024 with Vini emerging as the winner of the covetous price. Many people thought this is the least he deserved after losing the Balon D'or to Manchester City's Rodri.
However what caught my attention after the whole thing was that after the ceremony, it was revealed by Fabrizio Romano that Lionel Scaloni, Argentina national team manager voted Messi as his top player of the year! Coming in second and third places in his list were Rodri and Bellingham.
I couldn't help but think why Messi would still be considered as a contender for this award. I like Messi very much, but I think one of the reasons why he has won so many Balon D'ors is because he is liked by coaches and other sports enthusiasts better than his arch rival Ronaldo.
Messi is a talented and amazing player but that is not all. He is also portrayed by the media as a humble, cool headed player that deserves everything because of his personality even when his efforts doesn't necessarily deserve that particular recognition. Ronaldo on the other hand is seen as an arrogant, selfish and immature individual. He has to work his ass out for everything he gets, and also have to deal with how people perceive his personality.
They both have a huge section of fans, but when it comes to voting for prestigious awards, fans don't vote. Some selected individuals do, which I have noticed that Messi have triumphed more in this area because he is liked better. Ronaldo gets to win only when Messi is having a bad year.
Rodri triumphed over Vini because a set of people liked him better than the Brazilian even when the latter has more fans and supporters.
In this life, sometimes hard work will not always get you want you want especially when they are people to decide your fate. People might like and prefer someone else even when you are equally or even more deserving of recognition. People are loyal to their emotions and how they feel about the person they like. Just do your best and accept it. Life goes on.

Messi won more than Rolando because Messi is far better than Ronaldo wen it comes to football, nevertheless, the awards not always perfect.

To me, Messi is supposed to win it 6 times and Ronaldo 4 times.

Two times they favour Messi and once they did same to Ronaldo.

Remember me of a lady Jummy, years back.

That girl can cheat to win trophy, yet would still be claiming innocenti"

Whenever I queried her about romantic , pleasantries, replyies and gestures, she often exchange with random guys on Facebook, she always insisted that, are just for joking sake and wasn't in any romantic relationship with them.

When her manipulation jams superior-manipulation, she resulted to name calling that women normally do,......u are insecure, relationship without trust no good, you are too jealous."

When open her secret wider, he confessed and turned it to fight.

Yungmil:
Of course hakimi desserves it


What did Lookman do special compare to hakimi trophy winning performance in PSG?



Sentimental I can say

At least, you will masturbate fully, with number of mentioned you are craving for this morning, I tot, the drug you have taken already is supposed to quench ur appetite this morning.

Arab and cheating are 5 & 6.


Ur Hackim that is very good, yet he couldn't be selected among 1-30 players by international body.

The last time I checked, only Lookman is among in entire Africa.

Thank God for individual like Ademola, perhaps, CAF, would have given award to less than average player this year.

Anyway, I dnt blame you guys, since balon do'or surprised everybody, why won't you plan such in Africa poty.

Jesus is not God is the biggest truth of all time. I like their style, they displayed the banner for a while and then removed it, if you are wise you will understand that God is one and not 3, Jesus is not God.

If you are wise you will run away from religion which, the god they claimed they worship, must take blood hourly. It's adherents make sure the blood is ever available for it, through jihad violence

Oga own your stingyness with full chest , if you dont want to help your children sef, its your money, your choice own it with full chest

no need to come online dey shout me 1st, the house you rent for your parent e beta pass where you live, abi
you don see sugar daddy wey rent mansion for side chick but him dey stay 2bed flat

People are begging on the platform on daily basis, how many have you assisted?

So, keep shut when rational human beings are discussing, with common sense.

Your type are dangerous to people around you, because of ur super entitlement mentality.

NB, people around you owe you no obligations, to give out from whatever they have.
You have your own hands, use them to make money, and make yourself happy

kayperry:
I'm afraid that cant be true, calculate how much you have spent on your sef vs what you spent for outsiders these year ... you cant be on deficit

Bro, i can relate, in my university days i have 6 boiz squatting in my 2bed apartment and i provided food for 3yrs, at the end some even said did they force me that i just wanted to show off .. but people rarely get to me cos i have very very low expectations of humans,

I wont say my generousity have paid off, but bro nothing fit change "who i am" ... if i dont help as a friend just know say e no dey that moment
if you are stingy cos that it your nature i respect that, but allowing people change who you are, Nah !!! i rather change circle.

And I pray you won't involve in act of kindness that will send you to jail if not grave.

Yoruba will say.... "Ore ni won" ( kindness has boundaries)

purples25:
By wicked he meant firm and unyielding. And yes, I feel one has to be a little wicked. If you don't revenge a little, do a little something, some people will continue killing you.

I loaned 100k to a woman on the street selling clothes, I barely knew her. She paid half and was even treating me like a fool. Left half. Today she sees me passing by on the street and is not moved, even if she hasn't paid me. I can't call police on her, can't do anything to her, like wreck her shop or something. If I don't ask for my money she too says nothing, doesn't call to explain, nothing. She still owes me 77k.

This woman still enter me. If I am delayed on the street or anything unfortunate, she would then be happy to greet me and be calling my name out loud and laughing. If I travel, arrive back in that same street, she no go do anything to pay the remaining money. I call, her children will be subtly mocking me that I can't do anything to make their mother pay. And she used pity of these children to make me feel I did something good for her back then.

So, why shouldn't I learn wickedness. You think if I see a random tomorrow I will ever be nice to that person? Everything people have been accumulating for me, I'm packing it, and absorbing it, and at a point, I will definitely never be the same, it will be a combination of niceness with a hidden vault for wickedness if need be.

The amount of money you can't forgo" dnt ever loan person, no matter the condition of such person.


Even ordinary 2k, it would still come back to hurt you if you loan Nigeria poor people.

Like jihadist like dot-nation, perpetual leaving a life of inferiority.

Muslim are doing all these, yet they are coming behind Christian in all ramifications.


If I choose to worship Stone, how is that causing you sleepless nights and given you heart attacks?


Religion of peace, yet they behave like accursed people causing problems wherever they found themselves.

Review? Better to use ur perogative power as you stated.

Meanwhile, which judge gave death sentence to thief that steals chicken, I biliv life not lost during his actions in the house of owner.

Dogalmighty17:
How exactly could Ukrainian intelligence get someone in Russia to detonate a specialized explosive placed right in the handle bars of a bike? Shouldn't the FSB have actively monitored such communications? I think they dropped the ball in this case.

Because Russia largely exaggerated when it comes to military and security capabilities. I'm just pity Putin, because he his indirectly, exposing Russia weakness for other advanced nation to see.


The amount of fear that nations have for him, wanning of daily basis

onatisi:
and the funniest thing is that once the helper has any problem, most of the time, those he thought he was helping will be the first to start mocking him y saying he was stupid by trying to help everybody

Nothing to add more sir.

Yoruba adage says,......what people turn you to, is what they would use to mock you.

The provision seller that use to sell on credit, when the business collapses as a result of bad debts of the customers, the same customers would be the ones to mock, that she can not do anything successfully.


What about lady that, every guy in neighbourhood had slept with?

essentialone1:
To all married men, do you know that women always think that men will die first? If you think that I am lying, just tell your wife, "let us sell this our house", and she will be like, "for what?! When you die, where will I and the children live in?"

Hope you also know that, Young people always think, old people will die first too? and you also know, husbands on many occasions older than wives.

Why can't you use ur brain to think that , perhaps, ur wife biliv you will die first because you are older?


Can you give us ur honest answer, ....if your father tells you he wants to sell his house.

Judolisco:
If u Don get money, u go feel like say u fit dish out any advise.... Sensible or not.... Na why bible talk say.... The poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard Ecclesiastes 9:16

Sha get money first Sha.. See dis one now dey talk about being wicked a little bit... Because say small money dey him hand

Poor people are far far, wicked than rich.

Meanwhile, nobody is totally poor for him not to give.

How many acts kindness have you rendered this year? I will be surprised if you can convinently count 3.

DyshApp:
Nigerian musician, Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold, has stated that kindness makes one turn to a foolish person.

In a post shared on his social media account on Monday, the singer stated that it took him a while to come to this conclusion.

According to him, a sprinkle of wickedness is needed to thrive in the world.

“Took me a while, but I can confirm now that in this life, you need a sprinkle of wickedness to thrive. Kindness go turn you to mumu,” he stated.

One of his followers has however disagreed with the singer’s analogy.

The follower identified simply as Oludotun Sunday, described this analogy as a big fat lie.

He maintained that kind people never regret being kind, and added that they also do not wish to be wicked.

He stated, “This is a hot fat lie

He maintained that kind people never regret being kind, and added that they also do not wish to be wicked.

He stated, “This is a hot fat lie

Kind people are kind and never regret their kindness. If you are wicked, you are wicked. If you are kind, you can never wish and do not need to be wicked.

Kind people never nurse that idea, only wicked people can be two-faced.”

Totally in tandem with Gold. Not everyone you can assist, some are better off, being in problem, because if the problem goes, their total energy would be channel to bring you down.

Some people, if you put them in CBN VAULT, the Nigeria total money would crush within days.

Badmashiii:
You just said my mind bro.

A professor dosent automatically makes you better than everyone. You just have a specialised and advanced knowledge in your field.

A professor in arts knows little about artificial intelligence or robotics.

You don't expect a professor that has no experience in politics to be superior to a well-experienced politician and military leader. It's not possible.

In academia he may be superior to buhari,but in the realm of politics,everyone knows their place.

Infact, maybe I should tell the guy, to go to universities and see the so-called, professors, that he bilivs, they are deputy gods.

When he gets there,he would "largely" disappointed, even in their own fields.

PressMyButton:
ThisDay, an Arisetv newspaper has been publishing an editorial full of lies and propaganda about the death of this man. Government is also human and there's a limit to which they can take, but when you push your luck too far in your agenda against the government just because of the need to feed the sentiments of your audience that hero worship and hails your attacks against the government, you then throw away your reasoning as a media house whose ethics should uphold proper investigation and fact checking before going on air. Very soon, ThisDay/Arisetv will get what they are looking for.

Tinubu is too lenient with ARISE and THISDAY, the two outfits are worst media organisations in Nigeria, despite their wider coverage.

When it comes to govt or APC, instead to scrutinized the officials, they would resort to witch-hunting, but for Labour party and Obidients, all their energy use for criticism would be relegated to background.

I'm not against media to criticize and conderming policies and actions of govt o, but not to put urself in position of oppositions in the country.

Godsonkemz:
If this man was given a chance to rule in place of Tinubu he would have done marvelously well but as coward he jetted out of the race for a dumbie drug baron who has nothing to offer to Nigeria other than severe hardship, extremely high cost of living and hyperinflation and high cost of our own natural resources.
He and Afolabi were the brains behind the economic policies of Buhari before the cabals who capitalized on misfortunes began to see him as a threat.

He jetted" out? I'm sure you were in psychiatry clinic when primary election was conducted in Nigeria, pls flee away from drug.

Jrevelation:
A professor is vice to a man with only secondary school certificate
lol

This country the more you look the less you understand

I don't see anything changing in this country soon

Are they in the university, where professor must superior?

Which constitution makes professor superior to others outside University environment? Either in Nigeria or anywhere in the world.
Who stops professor to contest and be number one?
By your way of shallow reasoning, someone who doesn't even go to primary, cannot establish company, where professor can work.

I guess everyone must give way for professors whenever they arrive at ATM machine or Petro filling station.

U guys are shameless ... amunike win am Kanu win am ikebana win am oshimen won it last... we no see those tribes bragging.... ur tribe really have inferiority complex that has destroyed ur brains ...fallen demons character

Chaiiii, see energy he used to wail!


You guys will surely have heart attack on Yoruba issues.
6 years very Long period for young man like you to have sleepless nights because of Yoruba that doesn't even know if you are existing.


Fighting tribe, you know you can never, ever near, even in ur 4th generation.

Keep on BROS, may Almighty gives you strength to weep for long period before you finally drained.

IamAtAnger:
You're so gullible.. no wonder... Smh

You still arguing with interview husband himself do with reputable print media?

Indeed u re most foolish on nairaland, any no need of arguing with a lunatic on the loose.


NB. If by error, you opportune to have wife staying with you, I will advise you to let her be taken crucial decisions about family pls.

It's not every political positions of last adminstration that the new one must thinker with, not even civil service commission, this is to ensure continuity in govt, no matter how small it's.


It will be disastrous if you failed to speak correct grammar, you failed in marriage, and also fail governance.

IamAtAnger:
The guy get him own money.. juz cos him no dey lousy like Toyin.. na people like una dem dey use fake life scam easily

You people must argue black as white, so that people will know you are contributing to posts.

FBIBOT:
Lol the guy get Money o ... Way before toyin started cashing out on blockbusters

So,he gets 1/4 of what Toyin get?

So many popular actors that have been acting even before Jenifa was born , how many rich like her?

The guy that housed Toyin at home, I salute him for his endurance and perseverance.

Anyway, he is swimming in her money, that might be the motivations behind his tolerance.

Dear Seun,

Some of us on this forum have noticed how your mods keep bringing topics denigrating Christian faith to front page on Sundays instead of Bible topics or Preaching topics every Sunday. However, when it is Friday, you all promote Islamic topics solely describing Taoheed, Multiple wife marriage, Islamic ruling on every thing you feel is areas of life etc. Infact, you are asked to make vows about Islamic faith before commenting on such topics I am not against this, but what is good for Islam should also be applicable to Christian faith. I understand Seun Osewa may be a non Christian but you should use your platform in such a way to promote balanced view of both faiths (Unless you have been paid to promote Islam in Nigeria).
Today, a topic talking about a Pastor performing fake miracles was pushed to front page whereas you will never see a topic where an islamic cleric was molesting a quoranic school kid promoted on Friday to your front page(This is a usual occurrence and also widely reported here on Nairaland). There are Islamic Clerics arrested for money ritual cases by police but such things are not pushed to from page on Friday.

I hereby call on you Seun to take note of this complain as some of us take our faith serious and will not look until you use this platform to turn Nigeria to place like Yemen. Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq etc which were initially Christian nations but their complicity eroded the faith and their culture from the face of the earth. This is the same thing that Nairaland is not being used as a weapon to achived.

I will implore you to call your mods into order on this, I do not want to sound a warning for now as I believe you are a rational individual capable of doing the right thing. We will watch this for the next 3 Sundays and see of there is any changes before taking next line of action. You should know a court case claiming that your platform is being used to defame a faith is an option for us. I understand what is being posted on your platform is not your responsibility, but what is being posted on your front page is your responsibility.

I will request you to stop this trend to avoid unnecessary issues for your platform

I have talked about this twice before I silent, I have been following the trend for several weeks, infact, through out this year, the satanic mods, perhaps it's their oga agenda to depict Christan religion, they always make sure they push all the posts, which they themselves know, it would bring attacks to Christan religion, yet the same platform, protect Islam religion in all fronts.

If you want to push any post you know, it would bring criticism or attacks, wait till other days, even me will criticise, if indeed worth criticism.

Sandralight:
You are probably a kind person, that's why you are meeting women that are good to you.
I believe in the law of Karma, if you are good you will attract good things, my cousin wife sponsored him to the US and helped him till he began stable financially and they are so happy together.
There are so many good women out there, all you have to be is be a good and kind person to attract them

Not kind, possibly his looks, which type of kindness is that? Someone saying he dnt use to spend but rather collect, you still label him kind.

floss:
You’ve never dated a girl you desire, because you can’t afford to date them. You only dated the ones that like you, not that they were your spec when it comes to women.

They’re totally different, a man can date a woman she can afford, she fell for him first and might be slightly beautiful, even inside a slump, one can find a pretty girl there but a low budget.

So such a girl too knows she needs to come down to her class and level when looking for a relationship, so by so doing you guys become perfect match, and you end up not paying for sex… so I agree but not with girls that are beautiful and classy.

You need to show a lot of workings to those girls, they need to believe it down to their bone marrow that the money choke for aza, even at that, you’ll still be doing one or two… you expect a girl that spent more than 2m to do nyash to come and open leg for you, after they will stand up and go smiling because your dicck is coated in vanilla Abi ?

I pity you, no use this kind mind cross road ooo

Not even beautiful and classic, any girl that is not interested in him, either beautiful or average, he won't be able to date them, I have a friend like that, all the ladies he has ever slept with including his wife, are women who gave him green light, that my friend, he is very very poor to convince a lady who is not showing him green light and can never toast lady for friends.

Though his saving grace is his handsomeness.

cr7lomo:
The truth is that Nigerians are too sentimental towards their own , even if their own dont deserve it , they start to insult others ...reason we are so hated , especially in Africa... lookman only won Europa , but Hakimi won 3 trophies and also bronze in the Olympics... if atalanta wins serie A, he will then have a chance , just that Jackson of Chelsea will also make a case if he also wins the premiership... or if salah wins the premiership and champions league, then hit will be for salah

Now that Lookman wins it, where is ur statistics and analysis? I will advise you to change your mindset and trying to remove injustice in your blood if you want to go far o

I will not link it to tribalism or whatever, but change pls.

Late small, ur adversary did this long time ago and with far big amount.

Well, age still in ur side, who knows.

A day is coming, no Nigeria public university, will bear it's original name, but names of former leaders.


I hardly hear George Washington University or any former American leader university.

NaijaNaWaa:
The Yoruba cabal running Tinubu's illegitimate government is far more vicious and oppressive than Buhari's. Under Buhari, the Cabal accommodated their friends from other regions but with Tinubu's cabal, it's all about Yoruba.

Wen will Igbo becomes president for its cabal to rule like others? Abi it's true that dot-nation, will only wailing and lamenting, while others rule over her.
