Ronaldo is the greatest because when we talk about greatness, again, it goes beyond what’s done on the pitch. Ali is the greatest boxer, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player, Tom Brady is regarded as the greatest, all because of what they achieved on and off the pitch. It’s why there’s no argument about it.

Ronaldo’s mentality, longevity, he’s more than football. This is someone that will be a reference for generations.

And that’s the part people sometimes miss when they try to reduce Ronaldo’s greatness to statistics. The numbers are obviously part of the argument, but they are not the entire argument. Ronaldo’s greatness is the combination of everything.

Look at the longevity first. This is someone who has remained relevant at the highest level across different eras, different teams, different leagues and different versions of himself. He didn’t just have one great peak and disappear. He evolved. He went from a raw, winger to one of the most complete goalscorers football has ever seen, and then adapted again.

Then there’s the mentality.

Ronaldo made mentality part of football culture. The obsession with improvement, the discipline, the preparation, the refusal to accept decline, these became part of his identity. Generations of players grew up looking at Ronaldo not just because of what he could do with a football, but because of how seriously he approached becoming the best version of himself.

And then there are the moments.

The Champions League nights. The knockout performances. The comebacks. The goals when the pressure was highest. The international career. The ability to continuously put himself in positions where the biggest moments became part of his story.

That matters when you’re talking about greatness.

Because eventually, football will move on. New players will come, new records will be broken, new stars will dominate the game. But there are certain names that will always be used as the measuring stick.

That’s Ronaldo.

A young player 20 or 30 years from now can be asked, Who do you want to be like? and Ronaldo will still be one of the first names mentioned.

That is legacy.

And this is why I keep saying there is a difference between best and greatest.

Best can change depending on how you measure it. You can compare peaks, talent, statistics, trophies, technical ability and so on.

But greatness is much bigger.

It’s what you leave behind.

It’s the influence you have on the next generation. It’s the standards you establish. It’s the moments people remember. It’s the way your name becomes bigger than your profession.

Ronaldo is no longer just a footballer.

He is a reference point for excellence, longevity, mentality and ambition.

And when generations look back at this era of football, they won’t just remember how many goals Ronaldo scored.

They’ll remember that he changed what people thought was possible for a footballer to achieve over such a long period.

That’s why I call him the greatest.

Not simply because of what he did on the pitch, but because of everything his name represents beyond it.

This is an insult to Arojinle. You must be kidding.

Let me share a real-life event which Arojinle’s intervention served as the difference.

In late July 2025, we had a human-elephant conflict in Itasin Imobi, Ijebu East LGA, which led to the death of a farmer and the destruction of several farmlands.

There was serious panic in the community. The State Govt immediately intervened through the Ministry of Forestry to track the elephants and communicate with the people. They explained that elephants are not naturally violent and that there must have been a trigger, most likely an incursion into their habitat that made them uncomfortable.

But the fear was real. The older people were afraid. The younger ones were afraid too. Panic had engulfed the community.

Then we brought in Arojinle.

I called him that afternoon, the day before the meeting, and the next morning, he was already in Abeokuta to meet with all the chiefs and elder representatives from the community.

The moment Arojinle was introduced, they listened. Every single one of them knew him. They trusted him. You could see the awe in their eyes.

They asked him questions, and he answered every single one of them. He pointed to them that elephants can be very vindictive and so they could also target someone who might have attacked them in the past.

He then released an educational content specifically on the incident which went viral. After then, calm returned to the communities.

His words impacted those people far more than any other outreach programme we had tried.

That is Arojinle’s importance. That is one of his countless contributions to society.

[Arojinle @arojinle1]

Before dismissing Nigeria's rule on flower importation as plain idiocy, a bit of reading helps. I have written many times about the dangers of introducing non-native or invasive species.

Australia is still dealing with (and killing) feral horses and camels that damage native ecosystems. In the US, captured Burmese pythons and certain other invasives cannot simply be released. The law requires them to be killed or surrendered to the authorities (who will kill them).

The same principle applies to plants. Freshly cut flowers can carry insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses and other pests that threaten agriculture and native ecosystems. A single bouquet can introduce problems that cost a country billions and threaten food security.

That is why many countries are strict. In the EU you generally need inspection and a phytosanitary certificate. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore and others require declaration of all plant material, including fresh flowers. Non-compliant material may be inspected, treated, re-exported or destroyed. Japan, South Korea, Israel and China apply quarantine and screening.

So why does Nigeria not simply allow flowers and screen them? Because reliable, high-volume screening capacity is limited, and enforcement is not always consistent. We cannot afford the risk of a pest that makes basic food items unaffordable. Flowers are readily available inside the country. The restriction is a practical biosecurity measure.

Thank you.

I think every student who graduates with a First Class from any Nigerian university should have 100% of their school fees refunded, plus a ₦1 million excellence bonus.

I came across a similar incentive model in the Netherlands, and it made me think.

Imagine the message it would send: Hard work pays. Excellence is rewarded.

Instead of only celebrating academic success with certificates, why not attach real value to it?

It could fundamentally change how many students approach their education.

Once again, the media has misinterpreted what Ronaldo said 😂����. Now let’s go over it again… thank God for YouTube’s Spanish transcripts.

THIS WAS THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION IN SPANISH:

Creciendo muy rapido. tenemos en europa una vision difersnfe de lo que es realmente el nivel de de arabia saudi. es que lagenge no sabe es normal cuando la genge ml sabe la gente opina y habla demasiado. eso es normal. A mi a ve es me da mucha pena porque es una realidad completamente diferente cuando la gente habla de arabia cuando la gente habla por ejemplo de estados unidos por ejemplo te estou dando un ejemplo o de turquía. la liga de estados unidos que la de ariabia?
RONALDO’S RESPONSE TO THE LAST QUESTION:
obvio obvio obvio. pero comp es arabia saudita menosprecia un poco más, es eso que siento, pero sé también que esa gente que habla no sabe lo que dice, Por eso doy el descuento. porque solo quiem juega aqui solo quien esta aqui que esta en el dia a, juega en la liga ve los equipos

NOW, THIS IS THE FULL TRANSLATION OF WHAT WAS SAID IN ENGLISH:

Growing very fast. We in Europe have a different view of what the level of Saudi Arabian football really is. It's that people don't know, which is normal. When people don't know much, they give their opinions and talk too much. That's normal. Sometimes it makes me very sad because it's a completely different reality when people talk about Saudi Arabia compared to, for example, the United States, or Turkey. Is the US league better than the Saudi league?
Ronaldo’s response; Obviously, obviously, obviously. But because it's Saudi Arabia, it's looked down on a bit more. That's what I feel, but I also know that those people who talk don't know what they're saying. That's why I give the discount. Because only those who play here, only those who are here day in and day out, who play in the league and see the teams, know what's going on.

Jsyk, Oyo state is the only state in the entire history of Nigeria that has independently acquired and taken full delivery of its own dedicated manned surveillance aircraft bought and owned by the state government itself.

What most other states parade as aerial surveillance are just drones. Useful tools?, yes, but not the same as actual aircraft under the direct control of the state.

And as for Lagos, the state many people call the “king,”😭😂 the aircraft they use for security operations belong to the Nigerian Police Force. Lagos doesn’t own them, they borrow and partner with the Police Air Wing.

This is the difference between genuine ownership and dependence on federal assets.

Governor Seyi Makinde didn’t just talk about security, he invested properly and delivered. That is leadership.

Embolo n'aurait pas dû être expulsé face à l'Argentine ➡️ https://t.co/eM6KpUu8kl

L'IFAB, qui régit les règles du jeu, a communiqué sur un usage abusif du VAR durant la Coupe du monde. L'instance a établi que la vidéo pouvait intervenir en cas d'erreur sur l'identité d'un joueur averti, mais pas pour inverser la sanction, notamment sur les situations de simulation.

À partir de cela, le Suisse Breel Embolo n'aurait pas dû être expulsé face à l'Argentine en quarts de finale.

You said this was your last tweet, so I'll keep mine short.

Noticed how I've never insulted you once? That's how people converse Toby.

First, watching Sheffield United train, travelling across Europe or spending thousands on football doesn't make your opinions objective. That's an appeal to authority, not an argument.

Second, you keep screaming "you removed the quoted tweets" while conveniently ignoring the point about Seedorf. You still haven't explained why you reduced a discussion about Ronaldo's early development to "2008 Ronaldo." By 2008, he'd already won the Ballon d'Or, Champions League, European Golden Shoe, played a World Cup and a Euros, and had already evolved his game. That's the point you've consistently dodged.

Third, you're proving my point about your attitude. Every disagreement becomes "idiots", "minions", "brainless", "bath and go to work", or "I pity the people around you." You can't seem to disagree without throwing personal insults.

What's even more ironic is that you mentioned Wizarab, Lively, UG, Cross and Doc. They say far worse things than I ever have, yet I've never seen you call them "minions", "idiots" or tell them to "go to work." The moment it's someone you don't fancy, the insults start flying. That's selective abuse and another hypocrisy you've conveniently ignored.

As for the screenshots, if the quoted tweets genuinely change the meaning, I'll concede that context matters. I have no issue admitting that. But that still doesn't erase your repeated habit of selective framing. The Ronaldo penalty interview remains a perfect example you stripped the context there too.

Nobody is saying you can't criticise Ronaldo. Criticise him all you want. My issue has always been how you frame those criticisms while pretending people only see a pattern because they're "biased."

Lastly, you keep saying I don't matter while writing essays to reply me. If I was truly that irrelevant, you wouldn't have needed multiple threads and a barrage of insults to make your point.

You said this was your last tweet, so I'll leave it there.
