Dear Caragher... your just angry and bitter cos Ronaldo came from Man Utd... He is the best was best in England, was Best in Spain will soon be best in Italy. I see you mentioned something about Baresi and Maldini:

“Listen, I don’t think of Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini being any less of a defender because they never left AC Milan. So that’s not going to change me with Lionel Messi not leaving Barcelona. I mean, why would you leave Barcelona?"

Nobody is saying Messi is not good... he is a great player and a contender for the throne, we are just saying if he wants to be regarded as a true king let him go and conquer new lands, like Ronaldo has done... until then

...Ronaldo is the GOAT

By who's standard
Since when has Ronaldo fan been FIFA or the ones that calls the shot?

Jokerman:
I thought you wrote most career goals coz we know clearly Ronaldo has more goals than Messi

Do you know Ronaldo has more freekicks goals in UEFA competition than any other player?

Do you know Ronaldo is the highest assist maker in UCL history too??

Messi has more club goals than Ronaldo despite Ronaldo playing 2 years in club before him

Jokerman:
Why did you type Messi has more goals than Ronaldo??

you no dey see 503 for Ronaldo and 546 for Messi in the period under review by the writer?

He is the best goal keeper Around?

Jokerman:
How and where does Messi have more goals than Ronaldo??

In addition, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored a colossal 503 goals over the past 11 years – and only 18 per cent of them are penalties.
Admittedly, that is a far higher ratio than that of his great rival Messi – only 12% of the Argentine’s 545 goals for Barcelona during the same period have come from the spot.

Did you skip this?

l love this piece.The writer is clearly a Penaldo fan or making a case for him but what is written every were in his article is that there is one man better.MESSI more goals,less penalty and still more assist.
so may penaldo fans now end the GOAT debate

Drogba’s record in West London is presented as a rebuttal: nine cup final goals in nine finals (including four successive FA Cup deciders and three League Cup finals), the first and only African to score 100 Premier League goals, the leading Blues scorer in the Champions League with 37 goals, while his 164 Chelsea goals sees him sit fourth in the club’s all-time scorers chart.
He certainly had a modest return in the league over the course of his career in West London: 10, 12, 20, 8, 5, 29, 11, 5 and 4 were the Blues legend’s tally between 2004-05 to 2011-12 and 2014-15 where he returned for a season under Jose Mourinho.
Admittedly, he was past his prime in that title-winning season under the Portuguese manager, but previous returns were far from prolific, apart from 2006-07 and 2009-10, campaigns that ended with Drogba top of the league scorers chart.
Indeed, it’s surprising how Yakubu Aiyegbeni, another African striker who played in the Premier League around the same time as the Chelsea man scored 95 times in the top flight, but doesn’t get anywhere near the effusive praise that’s showered on the former Ivory Coast international, despite playing for much weaker clubs.
The Blues forward scored nine more goals than the Nigerian frontman, has a similar albeit slightly better scoring ratio – a goal every 2.4 games to 2.7 for the Yak – across the same number of seasons (nine each), yet Yakubu isn’t mentioned in the same breath as his fellow African.

Has not even gotten nearly to their level.

Look at the people he mentioned below. These people are on the next level below Dibango, Masekela, Fela and Makeba.






These are the people that are on the next level.

Of all the people that you mentioned, only King Sunny Ade came close to having the kind of global impact that the 4 pioneers, Fela, Masekela, Makeba and Dibango had. Many of the people that you mentioned are not even known outside Nigeria.

I do agree that they are legends, but they are not at the level of the 4 pioneers.

We too dey hype our own fela never won anything grammy

naptu2:
I consider Manu Dibango to be one of the 4 great legends of African music. The others are Fela Anikulapo-Kuti of Nigeria, Hugh Masekela of South Africa and Miriam Makeba also of South Africa.


Manu Dibango's 1972 classic, Soul Makossa, was a worldwide hit and he won a Grammy Award for it.

Michael Jackson stole a portion of the song for his hit "Startin Something" and Dibango sued him, but the matter was settled out of court. Michael Jackson then granted Rihanna the right to use that portion of the song in her hit, "Please Don't Stop The Music" and Dibango sued both Michael and Rihanna.


He has been based in Paris, France since at least the 1970s.

kingjrofficial:
if u need to lift UCL 3times a row, call Ronaldo

don't let Juventus fans hear you

Davash222:
Both are exceptional.

R9 has every trophy in his collections except UCL
R7 is yet to add World Cup to his collections.

Winning balon d’or 5 times is not what every footballer can achieve, so , I’ll choose R7 over R9.

I did pick Ronaldo 3 over CR7 5
Ronaldo the phenomenon had many competitors while CR7 had only Messi to contend with

Ndidi who?

COVID-19: Chevron Lockdown Escravos

Chevron Nigeria Limited is locking down it Escravos terminal for two weeks after an expatriate was tested positive of the deadly coronavirus.

The expatriate had joined the company's flight from Lagos to Escravos but after being tested on arrival, he shows positive of symptom of the dreaded coronavirus.

There was also report of contacts with other Nigerians on-board with him.

All workers had been told to sit at home for the next two weeks pending medical evaluation of the situation.

Fulmigation of the facilities including places where those in contact with the expatriate entered was carried out yesterday.

The essence of the sit at home is to minimize possible spread of the virus and allow health workers to sanitize the facilities.

What about Markets
our mega Markets?

I'm sure that baby is a Spanish babe but she can't reveal that because of the hypocritical Nigerian homophobic population

robosky02:
Taa you can put oshoala ahead of perpetual


Before oshoala won 4 African balondor

Pepertual has done it in style

Oshola is just playing for Barca ladies a team that can't be rated Top 5 in Europe.Mercy played in the best female league in the world(USWL) and played with and against the best female Footballers in the world and was counted

robosky02:
Assist oshoala is now in the mix

yeah and the rating remains
Mercy > Oshola > pepertual

Kylekent59:
It is very simple: Stay away from crowded places. Examples : Football viewing centers, parties, Ceremonies, Convocation, Assemblies, shows,weddings, schools, etc...

Churches and mosques also, but I am afraid some people might quote me for saying the truth.

Before you quote me, everyone should pray in his /her home. God is everywhere and he answers our prayers anywhere it's said.

Churches and mosques are gathering, but because of the virus, let every one does it at home.

Also, any bus carrying passengers without nose mask should be seized. Any one walking without nose mask, should go back to his home.

No football for now na

Sarah20A:
that should be his wife if am not mistaken

RealtorX:
We take a lot of risks in Nigeria. Human activities along pipelines and powerlines are meant to be kept at a safe recommended distance. Trust me people of this country we build in such space.
My prayers are with the victims!

who o you blame than the authorities who give approvals
pls are they professional personnel on ground to carry out rescue becos from all the videos I have seen on line I can't see any

Possiblegee:
They can’t win the champions league defending like this that’s why I don’t want them to go through tho

I'm sure you didn't see Chelsea and Mourinho Inter

engrchykae:
when Alexander Arnold played improper cornerkick against Barca,klopp did not speak out against improper fraction

And all those VAR controversial decisions in favour of Liverpool in the Epl has been proper.
Improper fraction indeed.lolz

The over rated media hyped EPL taught it's their time to dominate Europe.
lolz Back to default setting just after 1 season.Respect the la Liga that dominated Europe for over 10yrs.
la Liga remains the BEST

honestly I was shocked when he committed that goof..

with three player in front of you, why couldn't you give one of them pass or just balloon ball into the air?? was that too much to ask for?

stupid GK!!

as if that wasn't enough, he couldn't prevent the second goal as his reaction and response was stupidly sluggish.

that first error gave ATM the ginger and killed the morale of the liverpool players that have worked hard for more than 90minutes to secure 2 goals.

I guess he's out like karius.

*Imagine selling Karius and getting Karius Pro Max*
���

They scored 3 goals against you.It showed they were tactical not defensive
