Yes, a winner will emerge, but that’s not the argument.

A winner emerging does not magically mean I support any of the candidates.

A football match will have a winner too.

That doesn’t mean I support either team.

You’re proving my point.

You hear “I support none of them” and immediately translate it into something completely different.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

😭 Political fanatics are fascinating.

A man says “I don’t support any of them.”
You hear: “I secretly support Candidate X.”

At this point you’re not listening to people anymore. You’re just arguing with imaginary versions of them in your head.

[Markson mfoniso @mjmarkson]

@PossibleBest @oku_yungx You are being economically with the truth, as long as a winner must emerge then you have to choose one person. A voter saying “none” means he has no problem with the incumbent continuing which is still fine, but he has to say it, heaven will not fail

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@iamegbuna @mc_lively_ Chinedu: “You’re a bigot.”

Tokunbo: “Interesting. Here are your own bigotry comments.”

Public: “OMG why did he call him Chinedu?!”

😭

The screenshots hit so hard that people started reviewing the greeting instead of the evidence.

That’s Hall of Fame deflection.

[Oyíndà @yorubachic]

This was the pinnacle of my political awakening. I got so sick and tired of seeing Yoruba hate disguised as politics everyday on this app.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@Chekwube____ @oku_yungx At this point you’re a vending machine with a broken brain.

Insert argument. Receive abuse.

No matter what goes in, the output is the same. 😭

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@Chekwube____ @oku_yungx Bro got nothing upstairs, so he had to resort to insults. 😂

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

GRV: “Tokunbo is a bigot.”

Tokunbo: “Dear Chinedu, here are screenshots of your own ethnic comments.”

Moral Police : “Why did he say Chinedu?!”

😭😭😭

So the screenshots are not the issue.

The accusation of bigotry is not the issue.

The evidence attached is not the issue.

The real national emergency is that a man was addressed by one of his actual names.

Elite level deflection.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

The irony is that the same people calling him a bigot have spent days insisting that “Chinedu” is part of the man’s name.
So which is it?

Is Chinedu his name or a slur?

Because if using a person’s actual name is now evidence of bigotry, then the accusation has become so diluted that it means nothing.

You can dislike Tokunbo’s politics all you want, but serious allegations should be backed by something stronger than “he used a name that already belongs to the person.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@Western_Premier Some of you are so determined to find bigotry that you’ve started classifying legal names as hate speech.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@DeNiike_ “Mokan mokan l’oye nkan.”

Exactly.

Which is why some people can tell the difference between a slur and a name.

If Chinedu is a slur, then his parents owe us an explanation for putting it on his birth certificate. 😭

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@Ogbeni_Mo So “Gbadebo” was perfectly fine, but “Chinedu” suddenly triggered a bigotry alert? 😭

Interesting.

A man’s real name is now offensive depending on which half of it you say.

Some of you don’t need evidence of discrimination anymore; you just need imagination.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

😂 Wait, so when Tokunbo said “Dear Gbadebo”, everyone was calm.

No protests.

No think pieces.

No UN emergency session.

No cries of “bigotry” or “slur.”

But the moment he says “Dear Chinedu”, some of you start hearing tribal drums in the background. 😭

So let me ask:

If Gbadebo is not a slur, why is Chinedu suddenly a slur?

Which one of his names requires a government permit before it can be mentioned?

The funniest part is that his full name has been public for years, but apparently one half of it is now hate speech while the other half is diversity and inclusion.

This allegation is so weak it needs life support.

[Dr. Keneike @keneike]

Look at a a commissioner in Lagos state. Anyways

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

@dondekojo That’s his name, right? Or am I missing something?

[Oṣóyínká 🪔 @sledge_baba]

Did you know?

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

💯 Her point is simple.

Marriage is not employment, politics or public policy. It is a personal lifelong commitment.

Nobody is owed marriage.

People reject others every day based on religion, culture, tribe, nationality, language, education, family values, age, lifestyle and countless other preferences.

If someone says, “I prefer Yoruba men,” nobody panics.

If someone says, “I prefer Christian men,” nobody calls it hatred.

But suddenly when tribe is mentioned, people want to act like personal preference is a crime.

You don’t have to agree with her choice, but calling every tribal marriage preference “xenophobia” is a stretch.

A person can respect, befriend, work with and even admire another tribe while still not wanting to marry into it.

Marriage is voluntary, not a diversity quota.

[Alabama @Flohairs]

It is my choice, Enny🤞. Yes, I can’t marry outside my tribe, but that particular tribe tops the list. It’s just like saying you can’t vote for Obi when other candidates you also can’t vote for are there, yet you didn't list their names… you singled Obi out. Like I said, it is my choice.

Na marriage o, a long-term commitment in the same space, and I can’t subject my children to a lifetime of confusion; we can all see the lives of those kinds of children on X here. So how does that have to do with hate and xenophobia? 🤷‍♀️

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

Henry can talk football with Ronaldo. He was a world-class striker.

But teach Ronaldo about goalscoring, movement and positioning?

Come on.
Ronaldo scored more than twice as many goals, scored in more competitions, more knockout games, more finals and stayed elite for nearly two decades.

You don’t teach a man who mastered movement in the box, near-post runs, back-post runs, aerial positioning and goalscoring to a level nobody else has reached.
That’s like asking a millionaire to teach a billionaire how to make money.

Henry deserves respect.

But when the subject is scoring goals, movement and positioning, Ronaldo is the masterclass, not the student.

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

😂 “Ronaldo statpadded against weak teams.”
As if other great players didn’t do the exact same thing.

Messi scored heavily against APOEL, Celtic, Viktoria Plzeň, Ferencváros, Panathinaikos and BATE.

Lewandowski statpadded against Red Star, Dinamo Zagreb, Benfica, Salzburg and Viktoria Plzeň.

Benzema statpadded against Sheriff, Viktoria Plzeň, Galatasaray and APOEL.

That’s literally how the Champions League works. Every legend farms goals against weaker sides.

The difference is Ronaldo also farmed Bayern, Juventus, Atlético, PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Most players statpad against the small teams and disappear against the giants.

Ronaldo statpadded against the small teams and traumatized the big ones too.

That’s why he owns virtually every knockout record in the competition.

The funniest part is that Ronaldo critics always say “remove his goals against weak teams.”

They never say “remove everyone else’s goals against weak teams.”

Wonder why. 🤔

[Mihir | Sayf ⚔️🌹 @MihirRMA]

His UCL career is way less impressive when you set aside worthless statpad sessions against garbage teams

He's a great UCL player regardless but this idea that his UCL career is untouchable and he's the best player in the history of the comp by a mile is just flat out wrong

[PossibleBest @PossibleBest]

“Take away Ronaldo’s goals against smaller teams.”

Okay.

Now take away Messi’s goals against smaller teams.

Take away Benzema’s goals against Viktoria Plzeň, Galatasaray, APOEL and Sheriff.

Take away Lewandowski’s goals against Red Star, Benfica, Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg.

Take away everybody’s goals against weaker opposition.

That’s how group stages work.

The funny part is Ronaldo doesn’t just own the records against “small teams.”

He owns the records against the biggest teams too.

Most UCL knockout goals.

Most UCL semi-final goals.

Most UCL final goals.

Most UCL final appearances by an outfield player.

Most goals against Bayern.

Most goals against Juventus.

Most goals against Atlético.

Most goals in a single UCL season.

Most knockout goals in competition history.

The guy scored in 3 different Champions League finals and decided knockout ties for nearly two decades.

If your argument starts with “ignore his goals,” “ignore his records,” and “ignore his titles,” then you’re not evaluating his UCL career anymore.

You’re trying to explain away the greatest UCL career ever.
