Omo!. See money.

All of these will matter less after "The Unity" arrives. We are ascending to a greater purpose and standard in life God willing. His New Era will show the world what true civilization looks like. Together with him, God willing, we shall cleanse the earth.

We await his coming!

Power that can't help him start for Man Utd.
Powerless power.

No CAP, CR is the GOAT of Social Media.

But on the pitch where it all matters, Baba has been an ekuke for a while now. Nowadays you can only hear Siuuus online and hisses on the pitch.

Nice one. The guy appeals socially to most people. Hell, some people support of him is not even based on football grounds but the way he appeals to them appearances wise, personality and socially.

But you see that other wizard, any one that fans him does so solely on football grounds. That's why you can't like him and not be an ardent viewer and lover of good football.

Ronaldo is the GOAT of instagram
