🚨🚨🚨 A deeply moving report about the young man who hugged the legend Cristiano in the 2013 Real Madrid vs. Chelsea match 🥹:
The young man's name was Ronald Gjoka, and he was 19 years old.
In 2013, Real Madrid and Chelsea were playing a preseason friendly match here in Miami, on the same field where the Portugal and Colombia national teams played in the World Cup.
At one point, the match stopped, Ronald Gjoka ran toward Cristiano Ronaldo, hugged him, Ronaldo returned the hug, and they exchanged a few words.
🗣️ Malva [Ronald Gjoka's mother]: "I know he was like a mentor to him. My son didn't have a father in his life, so he was looking for a mentor."
🗣️ Richard Hughes [Ronald Gjoka's lawyer]: "It was as if he said: 'You are my mentor, you are my hero, you are like a father to me.' That's what Ronald Gjoka said to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo was thanking him and expressing his gratitude. It was a touching moment. He didn't say it explicitly, and I think the time was enough for them to talk during the hug; it was such a touching hug that watching it on video alone is beautiful."
Ronald Gjoka was arrested and spent a night in jail.
The next day, he was released, but the Miami prosecutor's office kept the charges.
🗣️ Richard Hughes [Ronald Gjoka's lawyer]: "One of the funniest things that happened during our consultation with him was that he said he was crying, scared and nervous, isolated in his cell with the other inmates. Then an old TV appeared, and it was showing 'ESPN.' After that, a video of him hugging Ronaldo was played, so everyone in the cell said: Wait, that's you! Everyone was surprised, and suddenly everyone loved him, and they clapped and cheered."
After two months, the charges remained, but Ronald's lawyer remembers that he asked Cristiano Ronaldo to sign a letter requesting that the Miami prosecutor's office drop all charges.
🗣️ Richard Hughes [Ronald Gjoka's lawyer]: "I first Googled and asked everywhere on the internet. I found the name of Ronaldo's agent and his contact information, and I tried with all my might to reach Ronaldo. And again, as if born of the moment, I emailed him, he replied, I had written the letter, but Ronaldo was the one who signed it."
🗣️ The letter from Richard Hughes that Ronaldo signed:

Re:
Ronald Gjoka
My name is Cristiano Ronaldo, and I play soccer for Real Madrid. I was playing at Sun Life Stadium last month when one of the fans entered the field. His name is Ronald Gjoka, and he is a young college student. We hugged and talked for a while, until security arrived to remove him from the field.
He was not aggressive or violent in any way. He also did not resist security or police in any possible manner.
To my knowledge, he now realizes his mistake and the importance of security. He is also young, barely 20 years old, grew up orphaned and was raised by his mother. It seems he is studying at one of the universities in Palm Beach County, Florida, on an international student visa.
I am concerned because I know he may face potential issues with immigration authorities and his university if the criminal charges against him are not dropped. He immediately surrendered to stadium security and, after being arrested by the police, spent a day and a half in jail. It seems a hearing was held in criminal court last Monday, and despite his attendance with a lawyer and his request to drop the charges, you refused.
I understand your position and the importance of enforcing laws and regulations. Nevertheless, I ask you and your office to reconsider this decision and drop the two criminal charges against this young man. I do not want to see him face criminal penalties because of his mistake. He seems to have a very promising future ahead, and I do not want his future to be negatively affected by this misjudgment.

Always add in your prayers that Nigeria should not happen to you.

Shame of you Ronaldo , why did you wash your hands after shaking the Black Congolese Capital before the match started . It’s obviously cause you shook the hands of a black man.
What A Racist Ronaldo 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Imagine it was Messi who did this.
The fact that 7 boko haram commanders actually could allegedly beat our security system and traveled successfully to Saudi Arabia only to be arrested when they came back means that something is wrong with our security system . I am shocked .
What do you think ?
Listen to Sowore speaking about Boko haram 15 years ago (2011). No other candidate has the depth that Sowore has.
I will drop some of his solutions to insecurity in the comments
Olokun and Oronmila deity are not for the weak so be careful of the spirit you associate yourself with because you might constantly go m@d at various times in your life
Breaking news: Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attack€d the Lassa community in Askira/Uba Local Government Area, k!ll!ng several teachers and abduct!ng a number of students.
The incident has left families in the area gripped by fear and has heightened concerns over the safety of schools and communities in insecurity-plagued regions.💔🙆♂️
Video showing a Nigerian woman who is a truck driver living in Germany telling First Lady Remi Tinubu the true meaning of government empowerment. I think everyone needs to see this 👀👀
Attend university with student loan.
Leave university with over N2 million debt to the government.
Start frying akara at the coastal road to repay the loan.
Get kidnapped.
Use your entire life savings and family inheritance to pay half of the ransom and sacrifice your right hand to make it up.
Get released by the kidnappers and start selling kuli kuli because you don't have right hand again to fry akara.
Sell kuli kuli by the day and beg for alms at night because you have N2 million debt to the government.

Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?
Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid ₦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?
No, this is not a movie.
According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid ₦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another ₦200 million later.
But that's not even the biggest part of the story.
He says the real trouble started when he refused to part with 48 percent of a ₦24 billion take-off grant meant for the agency he was appointed to head.
Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, these are his allegations. The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied any connection with the agency altogether.
And that is exactly where this story becomes unbelievable.
The Chief of Staff says the agency does not exist.
Prince Adeyemi says it does.
Not only that, he says it has over ₦1 billion in the Appropriation Act, over 300 approved staff by the head of service of the federation, and even accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Now tell me...
If the agency does not exist, who inserted its budget into the Appropriation Act?
Who approved over 300 staff?
Who processed the files?
Who opened the accounts?
Or are all these claims completely fabricated?
On the other hand, if the agency truly exists, then why is the Presidency denying its existence?
Can you see why this matter cannot simply be dismissed?
Somebody is not telling Nigerians the truth.
Personally, I am less interested in the drama than in the documents.
Produce the appointment letter.
Produce the budget.
Produce the payroll.
Produce the CBN records.
Produce the evidence of the alleged payments, if they exist.
Let Nigerians see who is lying.
Because if a man can wake up one morning and falsely accuse the Chief of Staff to the President of collecting ₦600 million and demanding a share of ₦24 billion, then that is a national scandal.
And if he is telling the truth...
Then that is an even bigger national scandal.
Either way, this matter deserves much more than a press statement.
Nigerians deserve answers.
Tinubu was asked about insecurity: He said a child was replaced with an animal.
Remi Tinubu was asked about economic crisis: She said, Start Akara, Kulikuli or Roasted Corn Business.
The worse family to ever come close to the Nigeria’s seat of power!
Olodo uprising!
Dear @SenRemiTinubu, I have started roasted agbado business as instructed by you. I used my certificates to lit up the fire.
Do well to ensure bandits do not attack me on my way to farm, do well to ensure price of transportation doesn’t run me out of business. Lastly, while you and governor’s wives cruise in the exotic cars you shared, please stop by and buy my corn.

That’s the wickedness in high places the Bible told us about. Ephesians 6:12 (KJV). They will never fund the emancipation of the people. They want you poor, uneducated, & beggarly.
Nigeria is the worst torture in the world. That’s where a dream dies & is buried. Your place of birth determines how far you go in life. Being born a Nigerian, life already led you 10-nil.
Ten Nigerian athletes were excluded from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics because the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) failed to meet the strict anti-doping testing requirements that were necessary to clear them for competition.
Favour Ofili was omitted from the Paris 2024 Olympic 100m because the AFN & the Nigerian Olympic Committee failed to register her for that event, despite the sprinter’s qualification.
Nigeria’s relay teams were disqualified from the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo because Visa delays & administrative failures forced the country to withdraw from the World Relays in China, a critical qualification event.
These are some of the many ways that Nigeria can happen to anyone without even apologizing
Nigeria is trauma & trepidation. Realizing there is nothing you can do — makes it even worse!
“Nigerians, I Have Started Selling Roasted Corn As Instructed By Remi Tinubu. It Is With This Corn That I Will Pay My Children’s School Fees, Buy Fuel, Pay Rent And Feed My Family. Remi Tinubu, This Is What You Opened Your Mouth To Tell Nigerian Youths. Meanwhile, Your Th!ef Family Is Busy Enjoying Nigeria’s Wealth After Putting Us In This Mess.” ~ Content Creator De Peters Reacts.
