@AttorneyF_ Think pieces like this don’t take away the fact both fans ply on agenda to push their narrative. Before Messi won the WC, CR fans did as much if not worse. So dead the shallow thoughts let both fans continue to the defend their heroes with whatever they can till the tide fades
This right here was the turning point in the GOAT debate, and it perfectly sums up the Ronaldo vs. Messi dynamic.
There is a fundamental asymmetry in how both sides operate. Ronaldo fans are generally content with their preference; they back their man and leave it at its that. But engaging with the typical Messi fan feels entirely different, there is a distinct, missionary smugness to it.
To them, supporting Ronaldo isn't just a differing opinion; it’s treated as an intellectual failure, a literal scandal. Their arrogance doesn't stop at mere preference; it’s a collective superiority complex that actively seeks to manufacture a narrative and enforce it as absolute truth.
That’s why the narrative surrounding the 2022 World Cup felt so hollow. The overwhelming sentiment, even from the footballing hierarchy, was that Messi "deserved" a World Cup. But nobody deserves anything in sports, especially when what previously held you back wasn't injury, but your own failure on the pitch.
Once the sport decided a player "deserved" a specific outcome, the integrity of the game took a backseat. It all stems from the immense pity his brief, calculated retirement garnered. That moment sent alarm bells ringing across the Messi fanbase, triggering a frantic need to secure his legacy. Coupled with the existing condescending, righteous rage of a fanbase that believes their icon is untouchable, it completely altered the dynamic; transforming them from sports fans into political or religious zealots enforcing a dogma.
Thankfully people are waking up to it. 🙏🏾
Honestly, the average Nigerian consumer behaves like an olodo.
This is exactly why vendors who treat customers with zero respect and strict boundaries are the ones everyone stays glued to. We don't appreciate peace.
Professionalism is a waste of time in this country. Try to be corporate and watch people lose their minds.
Beautiful SMEs run product ads, men enter DM to toast them.
Marketers click your paid ads just to spam you with their own pitches.
"Big men" looking to buy a car or house will call at odd hours with zero regard for timing or appointments, expecting you to fall in line. Worse ghost you on inspection completely without an apology, and then expect you to drop whatever you are doing the moment they show up.
Why should they put in the work when the men chasing them don't deserve it?
If men keep funding and chasing zero substance, why should women stress to upgrade themselves? We are getting exactly what we bid for.
As a man, I hate to admit it, but we have far more foolish men than women in this country. Men dictate societal standards, and how women behave today is just a direct reflection of the low-IQ men hyping them up.
Guyyyyy 😭😭😭
My draft thick die.

When their Governor isn't happy with them, this is how they come and apologize. 😂😭
Where do we want to start from, Goodddd? 😭
