Did Ronaldo start dabbling with politicians?

Ibime:
Trenches abroad is not like trenches in Nigeria.

What will N1bln do for you abroad

All those Sunday Oliseh, Babayaro etc are in trenches abroad as we speak

If Boniface career quench after his current Leverkusen contract he will have an upper middle class lifestyle abroad..If he does footballer expenses on that same earnings he will end up in abroad trenches like Oliseh them. He can never return to Nigerian trenches like Babangida, Oruma, Rufa and Yekini them

Amigoss:

He has you on his block list so you cant see what he posts or those that quote him

BlueRayDiick:
They are both from diffrent parts of the world bro. In Nigeria politicians will come to you for endorsement and you will bill them while cashing out handsomely ; it doesn't mean u are broke.

Okocha does punditry like his fellow ex-footballers in Europe which I believe he draws reasonable income from.

He obviously has multiple streams of income in his retirement and he's not saying no to any politician that decides to flash cash in his direction. If you are expecting him to say no to such offers, it only means u are moving away from the argument of him being an astute businessman to him placing morality above his income.

So basically any which way money can be made = astute businessman. Okay..

raumdeuter:
Actually they do endorse politicians
Ronaldinho Neymar Rivaldo Lucas Moura, Felipe Melo Cafu and Romario endorsed Bolsonaro the presidential candidate in the last election

The Russia-Ukraine situation is completely different from what’s happening with Israel. Ukraine never attacked Russia. And really, what’s the point of being a sovereign nation if you can’t decide which organizations you want to join?

If Russia wasn’t constantly bullying its neighbors, those countries wouldn’t be so eager to align with its enemies. In fact, Russia’s actions only prove them right for doing so.

Two completely different situations.

BlueRayDiick:
I didn't even know this. He was making it seem like Okocha hustling means he is broke when South Americans and European ex-players also do same.

raumdeuter:
These guys have to survive, they have families to feed, I dont indulge them for whichever legal way they choose to go about it. How many of us will pay their bills when they are broke

BlueRayDiick:
Taribo earned that much at the peak of his footballing career but each time ex-footballers are lamenting about "neglect" from FG he's always at the forefront.

He's always giving the vibe of someone who didn't make much and need the benevolence of the government enjoy life after retirement. Only God knows what he did with how own money Sha ; I mean he even had to start a church.

BlueRayDick:
Only an unwise person will have a brand like Okocha's and will say no to endorsements/adverts for brands who need his influence to push their business for a fee.

I still an advert Thierry Henry on DSTV this last weekend. That is a world cup winner who has dabbled into punditry, coaching and several brand ambassadorships.

[color=royalblue] For gambling, there are many that won't.

Khaby Lame has one of the highest followers on TikTok, yet he turned down advertising for an alcohol brand. He said he did that because majority of his audience are teenagers, and he didn't want that to ruin them.

Even Mane refused to participate in holding a beer when he was in Bayern. He only sat for the picture, and didn't hold the glass.

Okocha is not broke, but doesn't mean someone is unwise because he doesn't promote Gambling.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
If u follow this discussion from beginning u will see where I mentioned except one's religious/personal beliefs prohibits gambling & Alcohol. Those people u mentioned up there fall in this category because of their religious beliefs. Someone like Okocha has no such obligations so it will be wise if he turns down such business proposal.

[color=royalblue]There are hundreds of players in Nigeria that are not begging, and are not promoting anything. It doesn't make them unwise.

JayJay wants to promote it, and it's fine. There's nothing wise or unwise there.

A player can still retire and disappear from the public till death. Nothing unwise there too.[/color]

Emaprince:
Khabib is actually at the peak of his fame...so he can easily make much from other brands. His reasons are commendable...but I would have loved to know if he can tunr down the offer if his fame have waned and he isnt getting courted by brands needing his face for a push.

Mane issue had to do with religion. We understand.

BlueRayDick:
One of the definitions/meaning of the word wise is for one to have or show good judgement. I believe taking up a proposal like influencing for betting companies or alcoholic beverages (when you don't have any personal or religious opinion against) is a wise thing to do.

It means u showed a good sense of judgement when faced with opportunity to increase your source of income.

[color=royalblue] India just banned Betting, whether the owners or the promoters have any religious opinion or not.

Maybe Okocha thinks it's wise to promote Gambling because he will make more money

Maybe Mikel thinks it is wise not to promote Gambling, because it will destroy more lives.[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]While it is easy to assume, it doesn't change the fact that there are people that won't do it, even with next to nothing in earnings.

Okocha may not be hungry. Take away BetKing, and he might still be very okay. Yet, he chose to do it.

Mikel, with more fame that him, is not promoting betting (yet).

There's no wise or unwise decision here, in my opinion [/color]

Theflint1:
I'm guessing Airmark expects he'd retire to Nigeria after his playing days, cause 1BN no plenty like that.
