For me, there was never a GOAT debate.
It was never this player versus that player.
It was never about stats, trophies, or comparisons.
It was love at first sight.
From the moment Sir Alex Ferguson spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo (before the transfer from Lisbon), I was captivated. I have never really had eyes for anyone else since.
And over the years, he justified that admiration with performances that were nothing short of extraordinary.
Maybe I stayed because a part of me saw myself in him. The relentless work ethic. The obsession with becoming better than yesterday. The refusal to settle. The determination to outclass everyone, especially yourself.
This World Cup feels different.
Maybe that’s why I have refused to say anything about it publicly.
(Also, no one important has publicly said “CR7 is cursed”. Then, I’d have to get involved. But for now, I’m watching every Portugal match with tears in my eyes)
It is emotional because in all likelihood, this will be Cristiano Ronaldo’s final World Cup.
And maybe his final footballing expedition.
All I will have left, are reels and highlights.
I don’t know man…
I know I’ll fall in love with another footballer.
But until then…
@Row_Haastrup@akpoobomedamsel ... Would pastor Adeboye be called out for protesting. I dare you to bring out 9 other churches that followed PFN directives Feb 2020. I double dare you sir. If you can't. Close your eyes in shame and repent...
@Row_Haastrup@akpoobomedamsel ...The President out everytime like their hearts mean well for Nigeria. Shame on how you have conducted yourself. You don't see a Christ embassy member come outside and speak anyhow..
If other churches under the PFN umbrella had gone for prayer walk as PFN commanded...
@Row_Haastrup@akpoobomedamsel A drug lord or without a certificate, Atiku didn't win this case. Can all you've said contribute to nation building since tinubu came into power? You just read the bible backwards.. it shows the state of every Christian heart how we think about ourselves. Selfish yet calling..
@Row_Haastrup@akpoobomedamsel Since it's not your candidate, we should tear down Nigeria and wish Nigeria evil. Maybe you have where you can japa to... That's why you want everything to burn to the ground. You can fault tinubu in other things but he's politically upright than your supposed obi.
@Row_Haastrup@akpoobomedamsel Your hate for tinubu won't bring him down. Tinubu can't destroy Nigeria and he won't destroy Nigeria. Your saint Peter obi and lies he tells every market day. The bulk is at the President table, yes we know. He asked for the job and he got it. Tinubu rigged election you might..
@I_Derinsola@kunle_kenny His previous tweets put him in this position... Things happening in the north for more than a decade now people are panicking because they saw a glimpse of it in the south. Let's be real to ourselves... Isn't it laudable that USA are almost in the fight with us.
“My name is retired captain effiong eyo, Nigerians keep blaming the government meanwhile they don’t know the secrets within the government. President Tinubu is not weak. He just didn’t know the seat was this hard to control. He thought it would be easy until he got there. Every Nigerian president has another president above him. I retired from the army because I realized it didn’t feel like I was serving the Nigerian Army. There is a cabal controlling the government and the nation.”
“The First Lady even thanked President Trump for bombing terrorists in Sokoto and said he should do more, which shows the Nigerian government can’t even give orders. The day President Tinubu gave the order to help Benin Republic, he wasn’t giving the order himself,he was instructed to. If he can do that for Benin Republic, why can’t he do the same in Nigeria? Why are all the Army Generals afraid to give orders? They’re all scared of one person.”
~ Man makes allegations about the Nigerian government 👀🇳🇬
A man of God said all these, and you children of whatever cut out a few seconds of it so that you can insult him?
I will tell you for free that what you are solving for will never be yours.
A child who made an oath that when he grows up, he will kill all the birds and eat their heads for breakfast forgets that the birds also pray that whoever would wipe them out should not live, not to talk of growing.
