He was there on assignment with duration, he wasn't meant to stay there forever. This is how the average Nigerian blocks the way of progress for others. When you're sent to serve as a priest at a location, another is sent to take your place when the posting duration is done. If he actually committed suicide based on this, then he'll have a lot of explaining to do to his God😎

Well said Makelele. Your concern is shared across open minds.

For me I don't think Ballon Dior have a criteria. Because they keep changing the rules.

Be that as it may, whenever you open the book of world cup winner. You'll find this fine young man there.

Also I think it's time FIFA create award for most racially abused players.

Ronaldo wasn't and isn't on the level of Messi, wrong comparison

Dantesi:
Kylian Mbappé may be tearing the 2026 FIFA World Cup apart, but not everyone is ready to place him beside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has now poured cold water on that debate, insisting the French superstar is still a level below the two icons who dominated football for almost two decades. Is he right, or are people simply refusing to accept that a new king has arrived?

There is no denying Mbappé has been the face of this World Cup. France have reached the semi-finals largely because of his brilliance, and he has already broken the all-time World Cup scoring record with an incredible 20 goals in just 20 tournament matches. He also leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals, proving once again that the biggest stage brings out the best in him.

Despite those astonishing numbers, Yorke believes greatness is about much more than producing magical moments at one tournament. According to him, Ronaldo and Messi built their reputations through unmatched consistency, season after season, for nearly twenty years. That is a mountain Mbappé has not climbed yet.

To be fair, Yorke has a point. Ronaldo and Messi didn't become football legends because of one World Cup or one outstanding season. They conquered domestic leagues, dominated the UEFA Champions League, collected Ballon d'Or trophies, broke countless records and remained at the top even as younger stars emerged. That kind of longevity is almost impossible to repeat.

However, many fans believe football has changed. The game is faster, more demanding and more competitive than it was a decade ago. If Mbappé is already rewriting World Cup history before turning thirty, should we really wait another ten years before acknowledging that he belongs in the same conversation?

Yorke also made an interesting distinction. He suggested Mbappé could become the greatest World Cup player in history without necessarily becoming the greatest footballer of all time. That is a bold statement considering the legends who have dazzled at previous tournaments, from Pelé to Diego Maradona and Ronaldo Nazário.

The challenge for Mbappé is obvious. Individual brilliance alone will not settle the debate. He must continue reaching the latter stages of the Champions League, win more major club trophies and collect individual awards if he wants to challenge the legacy left behind by Ronaldo and Messi.

Some football fans argue that comparing every young superstar to Ronaldo and Messi is unfair. Those two raised the standard to levels that may never be matched again. Judging Mbappé by those impossible benchmarks could prevent people from appreciating just how extraordinary he already is.

Others disagree completely. They insist football is about replacing legends, not protecting them. If Mbappé continues scoring at this unbelievable rate and inspires France to another World Cup title, many believe he will have earned the right to be mentioned alongside the greatest players the sport has ever produced.

From a Nigerian perspective, this debate sounds familiar. Every generation produces players who are compared with those before them. Some eventually surpass expectations, while others struggle under the enormous pressure of living up to legendary names. Mbappé now carries that same burden on the global stage.

One thing is beyond dispute: the French captain has become the defining player of the 2026 World Cup. His pace, composure, movement and eye for goal have left defenders helpless throughout the tournament. Whether France lift the trophy or not, this competition will be remembered as another Mbappé masterclass.

So what do you think, Nairalanders? Is Dwight Yorke right that Mbappé is still below Ronaldo and Messi, or has the French superstar already done enough to deserve a seat at football's greatest table? If he wins another World Cup and keeps breaking records, will there be any argument left?

One of the main destroyers of industrial growth in Nigeria was/is erratic power supply. How can a nation grow industrially with the shortcomings of Nigeria?

Raydos:
Driven by my usual adventurous streak, I headed out today to explore an old, abandoned ceramic factory near my place. I first learned about it from a local elderly woman, who told me it opened back in 1974 (exactly 52 years ago) and that her husband used to work there in the 80's

She shared a bunch of stories about how lively the place used to be, bustling with all kinds of people earning a living before it finally shut its doors around 2007.

Listening to her gave me this irresistible urge to sneak inside. I just had to explore it and get a firsthand sense of what it felt like when the machines were running, how the employees worked, and what their daily lives were like.

Should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment for risking the safety of others😎

Celebby:
Netizens are reeling after Instagram influencer Vera Dijkmans documented her own mid-air meltdown, which has now landed her in massive legal trouble. Known for her massive following and striking photos, Vera proved that not even aviation laws apply to everyone when she decided a nicotine craving was worth grounding an entire aircraft. According to the viral screenshots, the blonde model quite literally detailed her own downfall for the world to see.

The chaos kicked off mid-flight when a cabin crew member woke Vera up from a sleeping-pill-induced nap to offer her food. Annoyed by the disruption and facing severe nicotine withdrawals — having previously claimed she smokes over four packs a day — she decided she couldn't wait the remaining two hours until landing. Instead, Vera locked herself inside the airplane lavatory to chain-smoke, even going as far as to snap a mirror selfie with a lit cigarette in her mouth.

Her actions caught up with her the moment the plane touched down in Mumbai, India. Police officers were already waiting at the gate to escort her to the station. In a tone-deaf update posted from her room at The Oberoi in Mumbai, Vera laughed off the encounter, telling her followers the authorities were "pretty chill" and released her after taking her passport details and asking for her Instagram handle.

The laughter didn't last long, as the full consequences of her actions dropped the very next day. Turkish Airlines officially blacklisted the influencer, canceling her return tickets and issuing her a permanent lifetime ban. To make matters worse, the airline is now taking legal action against her. Because they had to ground and deep-clean the aircraft's entire ventilation system due to her smoking, they are demanding that Vera foot the massive bill for the financial losses.

What could have been a standard flight has now turned into a potential legal nightmare and an incredibly expensive smoke break. Was this a case of severe, uncontrollable addiction, or just an extreme display of influencer entitlement?

Should you be pestering your landlord to pay levy for a transformer? An illegal fee imposed by a community to buy a transformer which PHCN ought to replace. I don't support the way the landlord gave you quit notice but I've to say you overstepped your boundaries of legality & commonsense

Mistermoon:
Please, I need advice on what to do.
The community disconnected electricity supply to our compound because the landlord did not pay a community electrification due (money for transformer) that predates our tenancy and the landlord gave only me a quit notice with 30 days ultimatum because I was the only one brave enough to demand that he pays the due so that electricity can be restored to the house.

I want to take him up legally but I need guidance on how to go about it plus L do not personally know a lawyer.

You guys think na clear eyes the USA take legalize gun possession esp in the wild wild west terrorised by bandits. Before you know, the issue of banditry disappeared for the USA. The truth is even if you ban guns or anything, criminals will always find a way to get guns or weapons illegally to oppress those who can't get guns.

Many Nigerian roads are for cattle movement and parties.

ridevendor:
Honestly…

I used to think people were exaggerating when they complained about maintaining a car in Nigeria.

Until I sat down one day and calculated everything properly.

And I won’t lie… I was shocked.

Let’s Break It Down

This is just an average car owner trying to maintain a decent vehicle.

Not even luxury.

Fuel

Depending on movement:
₦10,000 – ₦30,000+ weekly

And if you move around a lot?
Even worse.

Maintenance

This one humbles people fast.

* Oil servicing
* Brake pads
* Suspension
* Tyres
* Battery

One small issue can suddenly become:

> ₦80k
> ₦150k
> ₦300k

Just like that.

Nigerian Roads

This one deserves its own section honestly.

Bad roads damage:

* Tyres
* Shock absorbers
* Alignment
* Underbody

Sometimes it feels like the road is fighting the car personally 😅

Other Hidden Costs

People forget:

* Car wash
* Parking
* Insurance
* Documents
* Traffic stress
* Unexpected repairs

Everything adds up quickly.

WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST

I finally understood why many people now:

* Use Bolt more
* Rent cars occasionally instead
* Or delay buying another vehicle entirely

Because owning a car in Nigeria today is almost like managing another responsibility on its own.

THEN I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING

A lot of people complain about:

* Car rental prices
* Transport prices
* Driver costs

But after seeing what car owners spend regularly…

I started understanding the business side better.

Especially for operators managing multiple vehicles.

MY HONEST OPINION

At this point, reliability matters more than “forming”.

I’d rather use:

* A well-maintained car
* With peace of mind

Than force luxury and end up stranded somewhere.

LET’S DISCUSS

Car owners here:

What shocked you most after buying your car?

* Fuel?
* Maintenance?
* Nigerian roads?
* Spare parts?

Or do you think people are still exaggerating?

FINAL THOUGHT

Owning a car in Nigeria is no longer just about buying the vehicle…

The real challenge starts AFTER purchase.
