Honestly believe me if you will. The only thing a dead person is owed is what I stated above. Any other thing na jara.
Will the prayers bring he or she back to life. Will the prayers make God accept his or her soul if he or she is a bad person. Think am yourself nah

Forget being brought back to life, forget God, forget heaven and hell. Dont you think between you and that soul you owe them that if they were a loved one. Just one soul to another. Forget everything else.

Now you too think deeply. If you insist on your stance, then you really dont owe them a burial either. Whats the point. Inside the ground or outside it, they will still rot.

It doesn't bring back the dead but it gives the loved ones left behind support and strength to face the dark period. It makes them feel they are not grieving alone. As a captain he has no reason in this world not to be at the funeral of a team mate, no reason at all!

Kalulu44:
So his reasons wasn't valid enough for you. 40 characters

There is no reason that will be valid enough for a leader to be absent in the funeral of a team member.... No reason

Media, learn to respect people's opinions. If you were in his shoes, you would also say your reason is personal. Stop making a big deal out of this.

ZaraArewa:
Stop with the excuse mod. we all know you fans of Ronaldo will go to any length in defending him even when it's glaring that he's wrong. As the captain it's morally expected that he should be there at the funeral.

not everyone loves plenty people gathering. For me even if you go give me 1 million I no go attend your wedding.

Kalulu44:
Always try to read and reason well before commenting. Ronaldo is huge figure in football. Is appearance alone there will cause so much paparazzi and divert attention from the main purpose of the event.
In 2005 when he wasn't even quarter of the superstar he is today, media and press mobbed him at his father's funeral forgetting why they came which was the burial. So he doesn't want that to happen again now that he's a superstar.
Ok Allison Jota's team mate miss the burial. Did you hear his reason for missing.

How can you compare Allison to Ronaldo? Club team mate is no where near National Captain... What are you even saying? Do you even know the responsibility of a National Captain goes beyond the pitch?

Oh! You picked on the Allison angle and left the main reason I stated up there

Man what are you even saying, as a captain not as his brother, family or something of sort. Even family's, brother, sisters, father, mother do miss their siblings and blood relatives burial with one reason or the other talkless of a captain. The question here is did he paid Jota and family any condolence msg

See let me tell you, the people that owed Jota that are his family which includes his wife, children, father, mother and siblings. And that they have done, any other person is just a contributory and supportive aspect. The question here is did Ronaldo paid tribute to Jota or not

smtx:
How can you use this as an excuse? You are hilarious.... So now that media has seen food for his absence which one make sense?

At the burial itself it wouldn't have make sense cus it may takes people's mind of the burial itself. Do you know Ronaldo has been holidaying in that yacht even before Jota died.
And they media know, they're just looking for a way to draw traffic.

Responsibility is the question here! No responsible member of a family member will miss such when he has the means to be available. Parents are excluded from the burial rites in some tradition as it is seen as a taboo, doesn't mean they will not be available at the premise. Guy stop bringing flimsy excuses, Portugal has no such tradition that is why he is being dragged publicly. Ronaldo ought to be more responsible than this!

smtx:
As a leader there are responsibilities you must carry out and not deligate. If he can't play the role of a captain outside the pitch, then he isn't worth being called one

My friend apart from being a captain, he's also human. Respect his human part of his reason

My friend, being a captain or leader is no childs play. The burden of the team lies on the leader. If he just a human and cannot shoulder responsibilities, he shouldn't be the captain my friend

I'm a Ronaldo fan.
In as much as we respect his decision. This Ronaldo behaviour no join at all !!

So he cannot honor a dead team member because of holiday?

Kalulu44:
My friend is that was a genuine reason. At his father's funeral, he was barely superstar that he's today and paparazzi mobbed him talkless of now he's a global icon.
Apart from that to me o, he's too emotional and make break down in tears been there and that alone will give paparazzi more fuel to focus on him. My take

So if him mama or sister die in future him no go attend the funeral because he no want public distraction?

That depends on him, you heard him and his family said that was distracted people from his father's burial. So when it gets to his mother's turn he alone will know how to handle it.

Holidaying is not the reason, you and I already heard the reason so lets not beat around the bush

So bcus I am captain, leader and head of a corporation I can't have phobia for something and live my life

Oya nah go make him responsible if what he told you guys isn't enough

That will be his decision to make, not ours.

Exactly bro. 40 characters leave me alone nah

Stilloracle:
Where they friends? Did they know each other?

Did they ever talk or communicate?

Do u understand what u just typed there. They both played for same national team and won nation's cup together.

Kalulu44:

What other reason? That his appearance will distract the funeral.... That his reason is silly and selfish. His he the only big star? Even if paparazzi and all, can't he do his bid and leave immediately Jota is lowered. That excuse makes no sense.

Again now is a superstar, not like 2005 when he was still up coming.... Is another of his silly reason. 2005, over 20 years ago, he should be wiser and know that as a captain there are certain moral obligations attached to your role. Never be caught off guard, especially by the press. What Ronaldo just did will not be forgotten easily.

Kalulu44:

I can't make him responsible, it's his responsibility to be responsible

Did he mention phobia of leading? I don't get you. To be a captain, leader or head of a corporation you think say na moi moi. You will pick up calls at the middle of the night while all your members are sleeping, you will go to police station to bail members and write statement, you will go to motuary even to identify body in cases where the family members of a dead team member can't be reached, you think say na to wear captain band up n Dan, or to be leader for mouth.

Kalulu44:
Holidaying is not the reason, you and I already heard the reason so lets not beat around the bush

You mentioned he was holidaying. Anyways, the reason is not excusable, it doesn't make sense. If Ronaldo wasn't the Captain that would have been a different case. Team mates, captain, coach, FA representative etc must be available for the family or who else will if this core persons that revolves around Jota's short but impressive life are not there to stand by them.

Person way go don wire money to Jota fmly
