I understand anyone jealous of Cristiano Ronaldo, to be honest. The man is going to retire one day, and whether people admit it or not, football will experience a significant drop in attention, interest, engagement, and global conversation. He is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete.
Sometimes you have to appreciate greatness while it’s still in front of you. Because when it’s gone, you don’t get another version of it. There won’t be another player on this Portugal team that people and the media can build entire news cycles around every single week. Love him or hate him, he moves the sport like very few athletes in history ever have.
And when that rivalry with Messi finally ends, football will lose something special. For nearly two decades they pushed each other to impossible heights, gave us endless debates, unforgettable matches, iconic goals, and moments that defined an entire generation of fans. Whether you supported one or the other, you were part of something that may never be repeated.
Most of the hate Ronaldo gets today isn’t even genuine anymore. It’s engagement farming. He’s one of the few athletes people know they can mention and instantly generate millions of interactions. That alone tells you how big his influence.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave us moments football simply couldn’t have replaced last-minute winners, impossible comebacks, record after record, unforgettable Champions League nights, international glory, and a mentality that inspired millions to believe that hard work could compete with talent.
You don’t have to think he’s the greatest player ever. You don’t even have to like him. But you do have to acknowledge that football has been bigger because Cristiano Ronaldo existed. Players come and go. Icons come once in a generation. Cultural phenomena come even less often.
Enjoy one of the GOATs while he’s still here. When he finally walks away from the game, even the people who spent years criticizing him will realize they were lucky enough to witness an era they’ll spend the rest of their lives comparing everyone else to.
If you want to grow your deposit portfolio as a Relationship Manager, this strategy will help.
Target these businesses: Car dealers, Real Estate companies, big Furniture brands, Travel and tour companies, Importers, Etc.
These businesses don't generate consistent cash flow but a single inflow come in millions.
They also do not have much interest in taking loans, these businesses already have good working capital. They don't need your loan.
The basic things they want in a bank is a working technology and a good account management.
A car dealer grew my deposit portfolio from ₦100 million to ₦1 billion within three months. The interesting part was that he doesn't move his money immediately. Whenever he eventually transferred funds out, he would tell me, "Don't worry, more money is coming in." That always gives me confidence because I understood his business cycle.
I also managed the account of a hotel owner. One of his accounts had over ₦2 billion, while several others ran into hundreds of millions. This baba is into property business (Real Estate), a proper old money man.
Every Sallah, we bought him a ram. On his birthdays, we visit with a hamper, a cake, and even a framed portrait. Those gestures were just to maintain the relationship.
Once you have customers like these and manage the relationship well, nobody will chase you for deposits every month. Your focus will shift from looking for money to maintaining the relationships that bring it.
Dear Relationship Managers, the easiest way to enjoy this job is to work smart and be strategic.
Stop chasing every account. Identify businesses with strong cash flow, understand how they operate, and become someone they can trust.
The things I share here, nobody in your branch will say it to you, not even your branch manager.
I want you to look at this page every day and see it as a source for guidance and motivation to succeed at what you do.
