If I ever become President, before I introduce any policy - I have a long list of death penalties to become law first.

Sexual assault on children = death
Murder = death
Embezzlement=death
Kidnapping=death
Terrorism=death
Incest=death
False rape accusers & rapists = death.

CRISTIANO UNTIL THE END❤️

[#TheSportsIlluminator 🤝 @RayToluAyo]

Now that Cristiano Ronaldo has quit international football unceremoniously, let's talk about CR7 vs the media

What exactly did Cristiano Ronaldo do to the media?

And please, spare me the usual "arrogance" narrative

That is one of the biggest narratives the media created around his character

So, what exactly was Ronaldo's offence?

I have been watching football for a very long time

Not just watching, I read and pay attention to details, I have never seen a player vilified by the media like Ronaldo

From 2006 to 2026, that's 20 years of football

For most of that period, the media narrative around Ronaldo was relentlessly negative

Ronaldo had two major rivalries throughout his career

The first was with the media, the second was Lionel Messi

The media battle started first

Was his offence because he said he is the greatest player of all time?

Was it because he oozed confidence?

Was it because he believed in himself?

Was it because he talked, did it and delivered?

In 2012, it got to Ronaldo so badly that he asked his agent, Jorge Mendes:

"What is my offence with the media?"

Mendes didn't have an answer

He reached out to Spanish journalist Guillem Balagué and asked him the same question:

"What exactly did Ronaldo do to the media?"

Do you know how crazy that is?

The level of scrutiny had become so intense that even Ronaldo himself was trying to understand what he had done to deserve it

The only way Ronaldo could consistently fight back was on the pitch

Every time the media questioned him, he answered with performances

And whenever there was a dip in his form, the same headline would appear:

"Ronaldo is finished"

That statement followed him repeatedly, especially after injury in 2014 but he proved them wrong

Ronaldo had to develop a thick skin because he couldn't control the narrative

Football fans are fickle, and the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry made everything even worse

Sensational headlines travelled faster than facts, hence fans swallow narrative without checking what was actually said

I have had to post the exact quote because many fans don't read beyond the headline

Left to the media, Ronaldo should have retired about 10 years ago

And what made it worse?

Former players joined the conversation

Thierry Henry, as brilliant as he is as a pundit, will lose all objectivity whenever the discussion turns to Cristiano Ronaldo

John Mikel Obi openly said he doesn't like Ronaldo because he considers him arrogant

Before Ronaldo scored his 800th career goal, former France and Chelsea defender, Frank Leboeuf was asked on ESPN whether Ronaldo could reach 800 goals

Instead of analysis, he made jest and mocked CR7

Ronaldo was still at Manchester United when he reached the milestone

At Juventus, the media created this strange narrative that Ronaldo's goals were hurting Juventus

A player scored 101 goals in three seasons and somehow became the problem?

How?

What would the criticism have been if he had scored only 50?

Probably even worse

Yet that narrative stuck that people now talked down on goals and made it overrated in football

There was never a time in football when scoring goals became something that could negatively affect your team until the 'Ronaldo-at-Juventus' narrative became popular

The media turned Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini interviews into Ronaldo being the problem

The same thing happened when he returned to Manchester United

Suddenly, Ronaldo was the problem again

In Portugal, he became the problem according to the media

That's why he should have quit after the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Ronaldo is not perfect, he has his character flaws like everyone

20 years of character assasination
20 years of wrong narratives and agenda
20 years of labeling him as the villain

Ronaldo went to war against the media

He came
He saw
He fought
He conquered

An inspiration to billions
A blessing to football
A phenomenon that may never be repeated

CR7, let's get the 1,000 goals

SIUUUUUUU 🐐

[Slay Jimmy 🦍 @slay_jimmy]

Man I love this Ronaldo’s community. They don’t bend, they don’t flinch, they don’t bow. They will defend their GOAT no matter what ✊🏾❤️

[UG @UgwunnaEjikem]

Cristiano’s first career mistake wasn’t his fault, it was a lottery of birth. Other goats were born Brazilian or Argentine (natural cheat code), he was born Portuguese.

Wasn’t supposed to lift a major Int’l trophy, talk more 3. He changed Fate & for that, his legacy is eternal.

[Cristiano Ronaldo @Cristiano]

Após a conferência de imprensa do Selecionador Nacional, e no seguimento de uma conversa com o Presidente da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, tomei a decisão de deixar o estágio da Seleção Nacional.

A seu tempo, direi a verdade a todos os Portugueses sobre as razões que motivaram a minha saída da equipa nacional, à qual sempre me dediquei.

Agora é tempo de desejar boa sorte a Portugal e a todos os meus companheiros de equipa, sem exceção.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

A man tells you he left 2billion naira and another 75billion naira in a state government account number in First Bank, in the year 2014 after he left office as governor of Anambra.

He told you the amount,
He told you the bank account number,
He told you the name of the bank,
He told you the amount he left.

He then crowns it all by saying IF you find his claims to be false, he will stop campaigning. The state governor should simply post the statement account for the state in 2014 to disprove him IF he is lying. But the foolish governor of the state is busy making stupid statements.

My goodness. This is not even about politics. But Peter Obi is just simply exemplary and exceptional.

Okwute na man you be!!!!

There’s a certain kind of school chaos that only happens in boarding school.
So one day I woke up and my uniform skirt was gone.
I searched everywhere. Nothing.
I went to class wearing a sweater tied around my waist like I’m in a drama or something
After class I saw another girl wearing my skirt.
MY SKIRT.
Same tear at the pocket. Same faded button. Same everything.
I said:
“Is that mine?”
She looked me dead in the eye and said:
“No, it’s mine.”
MINE??
I said:
“Okay. Remove it.”
She said:
“Why?”
I said:
“Because if it’s yours, you can remove it and still have it.”
The dorm went silent.
She refused.
So I went to the matron.
We checked her suitcase.
Inside were 3 skirts.
All mine.
And the funniest part? She cried and said:
“I don’t know how they got there.”
As if my clothes teleported into her bag for vacation.

[Kolade Afolabi @koladeafolabi20]

I really don't remember when last a post of mine has drawn such widespread insults. It shows that quite a bunch of Nigerians are largely uneducated, despite going to school; while some are pretty naive or unable to hold constructive arguments. The remaining set of people was constantly shifting the goal post, while some just misunderstood my statement.

I deeply respect those who were able to engage with me constructively with data and reasoning.

I didn't even disagree with his statement, but just said my own side of the issue. And what if I disagreed?

Firstly, I want to set it straight that I'm not pro-Western or pro-Eastern. I really don't give a damn of this entire "pro" game some are playing here. I use Chinese products, I use American products. I invest in US markets, I invest in Chinese markets.

I'm only concerned with what is best for us.

I quite acknowledge it all.

1. Some, or a bunch of Chinese companies, have poor working conditions and don't treat their workers right. The truth is that Chinese companies—whether it’s Huawei, CCECC, or Tecno—operate according to the laws and enforcement of the country they are in. The way they'll behave in Nigeria or Ethiopia would be different from Germany due to stronger labour laws.

Strong institutions naturally suffice.

Chinese companies are in countries around the world.

2. SALARIES: The yuan is significantly weaker than the dollar. Hence, you don't expect them to match that offered by Western giants. Remember, one of the major reasons the USA offshores production to China is the cheap labour, which benefits them. This way, they can focus on the core design of their systems.

Hence, they've turned that loophole in their favour

Every country in the world would do you dirty if you don't stand your ground. It's true that the Chinese undergo illegal mining and offer poor working conditions. However, in the same America, we have heard of Nigerian politicians using the real estate market to wash embezzled funds and engage in drugs.

Is it really just a matter of the country? Countries of the world do what's best for them. The game is brutal but fair

In economics, the theory of comparative cost advantage "posits that international trade benefits all parties if nations specialize in producing goods with lower opportunity costs, rather than just those they produce more efficiently."

Rather than viewing any side as "good" or "bad", Nigeria needs to utilize the specializations of BOTH sides to achieve the growth it desires based on our current stage of economic development. This very specialization of the East was my point in this post.

While the Americas excel at software and finance, the Chinese are the manufacturing hub of the world and excel in infrastructure.

Before pouring capital into sophisticated stuff, the Chinese poured money into core infrastructure like roads, electricity, internet connectivity, healthcare, and energy. This core infrastructure was vital for where it is today.

How? By creating a system that allowed the best minds to come together, innovate, and compete at scale.

Before creating robust apps, they solved structural issues.

It's also evident in the sort of investments they undertake. While American VCs have given out billions to founders (which is amazing), China often partners with the state to deploy infrastructure

While VC is good, if we don't solve our core infrastructural problems, we would be running in circles for a very long time. This IS my point

The USA has solved its infrastructural problems long ago. In my sector, healthcare, I have directly seen the impact of such. Africa has received billions in aid over years which of course is great. However, when aid stalled last year, 25 years of progress was disrupted. It created over reliance on capital

Africa's issues are more systemic and structural now more than ever.
You could shove it off, but like I say, "the end justifies the means".

Samson, CFA is a capitalist, but he gets it

[Steve Harvey @IAmSteveHarvey]

People see me on TV

They see the suits
They see the stage
They see the lights

What they don’t see?

The nights I slept in my car
The shows where nobody laughed
The rejection
The “no’s”
The doubt

Success didn’t come overnight
It came over years

Years of faith
Years of getting back up
Years of believing when I had zero evidence

Some of y’all are discouraged because it hasn’t happened yet

Let me tell you something:

If God gave you the dream, He already factored in the delay

The delay is not denial
It’s development

You don’t see the roots growing under the ground —
but that don’t mean the tree ain’t coming

Don’t quit

Don’t shrink your dream because it’s taking time

You’re not behind
You’re being built

And when it finally shows up?
They’re going to call you “lucky”

Keep going
