She was betrothed to the Yaradua Patriach. This was an open secret. Apparently he discovered because the wife told him late. It was at that point the boy got killed

dealslip:
Is that strange in the North to marry at 16?

Have you been in Nigeria the past 20 years ?
This info about Maryam and Ibrahim is common knowledge but you don't expect to find it written in Wikipedia do you ? Ask around for more information.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Stop saying what you dont know. Yar'Adua was eliminated in prison on Abacha's orders by a military doctor (I forget his name now) who injected him with some still-to-be-identified substance.
The quarrel between Abacha and Yar'Adua went beyond politics - it had a personal dimension: Maryam had been married to Yar'Adua before she was snatched by Abacha and the first son, Ibrahim, was suspected by Abacha to really be Yar'Adua's which was the reason he was killed in a plane crash in 1996.
It was not so easy to eliminate Obasanjo without consequence because of his huge international profile. In the 1980's and 90's Obasanjo was one of the most internationally recognized Africans; same goes for MKO.

juman:
Obasanjo that killed people like killing insects during his presidency.

Where is chief bola ige, funsho williams etc?

Obasanjo election violences and election riggings, only God knows how many people died through that.

Obasanjo was never capable of conducting free and fair election.

Konami94:
Should that be your primary concern instead of your own happiness? Some people don't seem to realize that marriage is for life. A broken relationship is better than a failed marriage. You should even be thanking God that you found out before the wedding cuz many guys aren't that lucky.

listenersky:
Wedding preparations already done. Hall booked, cloths bought, both families already preparing, what will people say? How will she move ahead if I leave her?

He's into cargo shipping business
He's into oil and gas business
and he's also into real estate business, how can these businesses be called illegal .

Not everyone living large is a criminal.... If he was a criminal... They could have been accusations labeled against him through out the years.

mostHandsome01:
its funny how people accuse people of doing illegal business when they just cant take out time to search about what they do.

His cargo shipping business
His oil and gas business
and his real estate company, how can these businesses be called illegal .

bro. simple as abc. you score 93 goals, come december cr7 would have achieved more dan him. na who score goal dey win league? nd bro u just made a stupid comment. note that messi has been in barca since 2004, nd ronaldo made his la liga appearance in 09, and ronaldo is the top scorer in the big five europe league combined. so what on earth are you arguing abt. do you knw wat motivation is? i was beginning to like u, but u re still Delusional. goal ratio? i really have no idea hw u compare players.

crowley:
game impact, motivation, scoring from the most difficult position. he can score with his hand, bum Leg, knee, head, overhead kick, tap in, penalty spot. and no player on earth positions like him. or u think its easy to score? even the so called messi is amongs the greatest spot kick missers. . the only time on earth i would be against madrid nd cr7 is if United nd Madrid meets in champions league. nd tz going to be awkard 4 me.

crowley:
And who has more career goal? more champions league goals? and as at when ronaldo was in united, united was probably the best team any player could join. and united is still the biggest and richest team in the world. a few bad spells does'nt mean we wont get back up there. by the end of this year, they would be equal rite? Then let the game begin. Since messi was once 3 ballon D'Or above cr7, nd by this year ending, they wud av 5 a piece, then messi is a failure

crowley:
And ronaldo can play for another 8years. ronaldo sets the bar for football and messi chases.

crowley:
So manchester united is a filling station now abi? ANIMAL!!! united go catch barca next season. i pray it be in d knockout stage so we knw who is filling station nd who is blackmarket seller. common football stats u dnt knw. bias cow. no one is calling ronaldo d best? what universe ar u frm. clueless universe

Foolishness is when a student is making it in class 5 but you want him to go and prove himself in class 2.
Ronaldo took steps to get to high class team like Madrid... just like many other players.
Example is passing your test to get promoted.
He started from Sporting, to United and finally in Madrid... so do you think he will leave Madrid now?
If Ronaldo started his career in Madrid, he wouldn't have moved to EPL...both Barca and Madrid are top European clubs, but Ronaldo wasn't good enough to start from Madrid in the beginning of his career...he needed to prove himself in Sporting and United first.
Whereas Messi was good enough to start his career in Barca.

crowley:
All your post just dey annoy me. you knw hw many times ronaldo was rested? and what fu€k!ng top striker? u even knw anytin? where u leave ur sense? dnt they play the same 433? is it not benzima nd suarez that plays 9. you are just a stupid barca fan that can nt hide his fustration that cr7 is better. dude hide ur fustration. madrid won it back to back and no one has ever scored as much champions league goals as cr7. so just shut up. when messi was winning best player awards, i kept shut. so do the same u pathetic barca fan. win champions league back to back nd i wil shutup

LordAdam16:
You are a LM10 fan, don't make absurd claims.

Messi is not better than Ronaldo. And I'm sick of the talent card or that he is more fun to watch.

All Messi does is glue the ball to his feet and run past players. That's all he does.

And if you want to talk about if that is the most entertaining thing in football. Then you didn't watch Ronaldinho play.

What Ronaldinho, Zizinho, Garrincha did with the ball, Pele, Maradona, and Messi can't fathom. Those people made football an art form.

Messi went to Barca at age 13 and trained at La Masia for at least 7 hours per day for 5 years before his debut. The only thing he has above Xavi and Iniesta is dribbling and goal scoring. In creativity, vision, passing, he is not at the same level as those two unsung heroes.

And that brings me to my main point, the game of football rewards goal scorers and achievers. That's how we measure the best players. Add a bit of skill, dribbling, or flair, and there's a straight ticket to the hall of fame.

If Messi wasn't scoring goals he wouldn't win a Ballon D'or. Ditto for Ronaldo.

Look at Barcelona's squad of 2009-2013? Replace Messi with any world class player from Neymar to Hazard to Dybala and they'd win the exact same number of trophies and Ballon D'ors that Messi won. If that same world class player played for Barcelona from 13 years of age, it'd be just as easy for the player.

In fact, this is the first time you'd be hearing this, but Barcelona didn't need Messi in that time period to win trophies. The proof is in the fact that between 2008 and 2013, the Spanish National Team was without doubt the best team in the world and won every tournament they participated in. Messi was not in that team, but the core of the team was Barcelona.

On the flip side, look at Ronaldo. When he was younger he was great at showboating but wasn't as clinical as he is now. Ronaldo started winning Ballon D'ors when he started achieving and he played in teams (sporting lisbon, manchester united, and real madrid) that were about critical, ruthless finishing than beautiful possession football and he adapted his game appropriately. Messi on the other hand played in a team that is about entertaining, possession football and that became his identity.

Ronaldo does not have to dribble 5 players to score a goal, because that is unnecessary in Madrid's team. In fact from Man U, Sir Alex had already weaned him of less flair and made him concentrate more on his clinical ability. Messi does not even have to dribble 5 players to score a goal, because the entire Barcelona team can pass a ball into the net. Spain won games and tournaments without a player running past multiple players to score or lay a pass.

But when you talk about Ronaldo's clinical ability, there is no word to describe it. The timing of his runs, positioning, goal scoring technique is all down to intelligence and being a smarter player overall. He knows he doesn't have to showboat, he has passed that stage. All his showboating won him 1 Ballon D'or and 1 champions league. His clinical ability and goal scoring got him 3 Ballon D'or's, 3 champions league, 1 Euro cup, and 5 consecutive UEFA golden boots. If you are Ronaldo, what would you do then, more showboating, or just honing your clinical ability and becoming the best finisher in the history of the sport?

There's Isco, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro to do all the passing, all he has to do is be part of the ruthless attack and finish where necessary or make an assist. Even when Barcelona was at their top form, he was outscoring Messi consistently scoring 50 goals per year since 2010, getting Real Madrid to the Semi Finals of the UEFA Champions league, and trailing Barcelona in the league. This was in a time of inconsistency in the Bernabeu (Perez sold Ozil and Di Maria in their prime) and this was without the Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets midfield (the best midfield post-2000) that Messi had.

Just look at the difference. Messi is out there running past Alavez players in a Copa Del Rey final, while Ronaldo is making himself available to make clinical finishes against the best defense of the season. Allegri said that even if they gave Barcelona an extra hour, they still wouldn't have found the back of the net. Ronaldo found it in 20 minutes. Found a second 40 minutes later. Look at his second goal yesterday. Modric did not even look before crossing the ball into the area, but Ronaldo anticipated the run and positioned himself to rattle the mighty BBC defense and slot past the goalkeeper legend, something the entire MSN couldn't do in 120 minutes.

Give me that versus Messi's run and I'll choose Ronaldo's clinical ability everyday.

As at 2012 in the peak of Messi's career on the back of an unbelievable Barcelona team, he had 4 Ballon D'ors to Ronaldo's 1. 3 Champions league to Ronaldo's 1. In 2012, the jury was out already that Messi was miles ahead because despite Ronaldo becoming an accomplished goal scorer and skillful player, he just wasn't getting the results that Messi got.

Fast forward 5 years and Ronaldo has won 3 of the last 4 champion's leagues, and is set to win 4 of the last 5 Ballon D'Ors, and is the top UEFA goal scorer for each of the last 5 years. This is at a time of his career when he should be declining.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo is evident in this year's UEFA goal tally. Messi had 11 versus Ronaldo's 2 before the knockout stages. Yet Ronaldo outscored Messi. Give me that versus running past players, and I'd choose the former everyday. That's what makes Ronaldo the better player. He doesn't have a peak. He keeps outdoing himself because he doesn't have a competition.

Without Suarez and Xavi, Messi wouldn't have had the treble in '15. And since then it has been downhill for him and his team. And the future is even more bleak for him going forward as Iniesta withers off. I wouldn't write him off, but as long as Ronaldo keeps breaking records and redefining what it means to be the greatest player to have ever played the game, the accolades would keep coming his way.

Messi plays amazing football, but in modern football love goes to the top achievers and goal scorers. After all, goals earn points. Most of the love Messi gets right now is because of what he achieved in 2009-2013. All of the love Ronaldo gets right now is because of what he keeps achieving since 2007.

Notice how I did not even talk about international duty? Or about Ronaldo adapting and achieving phenomenal results in two different leagues?

So, as I said, you are an LM10 fan. Every CR7 fan knows why CR7 is better than Messi. That's the passage of rites to becoming a CR7 fan.

Cristiano Ronaldo is better than his Lionel Messi..... Respect to the work of the Argentine thus far! However, the statistics, individual and collective success of the Portuguese captain speaks volume of who is the best amongst the them. Enough of this debate jare. Cristiano is a better footballer!

Shori:
Let me disillusion you. Barca didn't play the same Juventus two seasons ago. They played a weaker version. That was a Juventus with a Conte, not Allegri. A Juventus without Alves. A less defensive Juventus! In the end, one team won a double!
