🚨🏴 A reporter asked Rio Ferdinand if winning another World Cup would make Messi the GOAT in his eyes.
🗣️Reporter: "Rio, would another World Cup be enough for you to call Messi the greatest of all time?"
🗣️Rio Ferdinand: "Messi could go on and win another world cup trophy, but that still wouldn't change my opinion that Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.
Argentina won World Cups before Messi, so it's not as if they were never a football powerhouse. They've always been one of the biggest football nations.
"I believe Argentina had the quality to win the 2022 World Cup even without Messi. A seven-game tournament shouldn't be the only thing that defines who the greatest player in football history is.
Greatness is built over an entire career, and for me, Ronaldo still sets the standard."
Bro, Ronaldo don pass GOAT abeg
We don leave GOAT for una, Ronaldo na DRAGON😂✋🏻🤚🏻
D – Dominance
R – Records
A – Ambition
G – Greatness
O – Obsession (with excellence)
N – Number One
I have followed with deep sorrow and mounting concern the reports surrounding the death of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old Nigerian from Nok, Southern Kaduna, who died on June 27, 2026, within the private residence of the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu, Ebonyi State.
First, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Habila family. No family should have to mourn a daughter taken in the prime of her life while also fighting simply to learn the truth of how she died.
But condolences are not enough. Nigerians deserve answers, and it is on this score that the Tinubu administration has failed, comprehensively and disgracefully.
Consider the facts that are not in dispute. A young woman died in the residence of a serving Federal Minister. For nearly two weeks, neither the Minister, nor the police, nor any arm of government said a word to the Nigerian people. It took the courage of Sahara Reporters to bring this death into public view. Three weeks after her death, no autopsy has been performed. No cause of death has been established. The investigation remains domiciled in the very state where the Minister served two terms as Governor and where his influence is beyond question.
And through all of this, silence from the Presidency. Silence from the Federal Executive Council. Silence from the Inspector-General of Police. Silence from the National Assembly. Not one word. Not one directive. Not one gesture to assure Nigerians that the life of Mary Habila matters to this government.
Instead, the Minister has been permitted to manage the narrative of a death that occurred under his own roof: issuing statements through his personal aides, deploying his private lawyers to correspond with the police, and continuing his official duties as though nothing has happened, while civil society groups, youth organisations, and the family’s own community cry out for an independent inquiry.
Let me be clear: I make no pronouncement on anyone’s guilt or innocence. That is precisely the point. Only a credible, independent, and transparent investigation can establish the truth, and it is the refusal of the Federal Government to guarantee such an investigation that constitutes the scandal before us.
A government’s first duty is the protection of life. Where a life is lost in circumstances touching a high official of state, the burden on government to act transparently is at its heaviest.
President Tinubu’s administration has instead treated this tragedy as an inconvenience to be waited out. If the death of a young Nigerian woman in a Minister’s residence cannot stir this government to act, then Nigerians must ask: whose life, exactly, does this government value?
I therefore demand the following: One, President Bola Tinubu must direct the Honourable Minister of Works to step aside immediately, pending the conclusion of investigations. This is not a punishment; it is the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy. No official under this cloud should preside over a federal ministry as though it were business as usual.
Two, the Inspector-General of Police must immediately transfer the investigation from the Ebonyi State Command to Force Headquarters, with the involvement of independent forensic experts. No investigation conducted in the shadow of the Minister’s home-state influence can command public confidence.
Three, a full, independent, and internationally credible autopsy must be conducted without further delay, with the findings made public. The stalemate over the post-mortem, three weeks after this young woman’s death is an indictment of every institution involved.
Four, the family of Mary Habila must be protected from any pressure, inducement, or intimidation, and must be guaranteed unfettered access to the facts of their daughter’s death.
When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you don’t need to make logical arguments. Just stick to banter or tweet your opinion and move on, because the moment you try to have a logical conversation using facts, figures, and context, most Messi fans will eventually resort to insulting you.
You might prefer Messi because he has more league titles than Ronaldo. I prefer Ronaldo because he has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
You might prefer Messi because he has won the most Golden Boots in history. I prefer Ronaldo because he is the highest goalscorer in football history. He has also scored at least 100 goals for every club he has played for.
You might prefer Messi because he won the World Cup. I prefer Ronaldo because he won five Champions League titles with two different clubs. You need seven games to win a World Cup; you need 13 to win the Champions League. He also won it three times in a row.
You prefer the player with eight Ballon d’Or awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon d’Ors despite not being the media favourite.
You see? It’s all about context. It’s based on preference. You prefer a playmaker; I prefer a goalscorer who decides games.
A lot of Messi fans will insult you simply because Ronaldo is your GOAT. To save yourself the endless back and forth, either stick to bantering with them or tweet your opinion and move on. They’re not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and that’s fine.
Viva Ronaldo. 🐐
"If the n@ked body of the Minister of Works' daughter had been found in the home of a poor Nigerian, can you imagine what would be happening by now?"
— Barrister Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youth and Sports, reacts to the de@th of Mary Habili, who was reportedly found de@d at the residence of Minister of Works David Umahi.
“Banks in Nigeria are owned by Black Nigerians. Nigerians in entertainment industry aren’t competing with South Africa, they are competing with America. People are working to develop themselves, while here in South Africa, some people are walking around with cutlasses.”

Rayo Vallecano’s record sale is £8.4m. Chelsea have offered £15m for Pep Chavarría, because we were told that this would be enough to complete a deal. Then, they moved the goal posts and were asking for £21.2m, which was allegedly Pep’s release at the time. Reportedly, Chelsea were willing to achieve this price. Now we’re hearing that Rayo is demanding £42.4m, which is now his release clause. No wonder why the news for this deal has been slow. What is going on?!
Record sale of £8.4m…
Some players are privileged to play in teams full of winners under great coaches.
Even 10 world cups can’t redefine the GOAT because You don’t choose your country, it chooses you.
But you do choose the club you represent.
Cristiano Ronaldo. The Undisputed 🐐
