If Messi was still playing in Europe, Ronaldo fans would have said that the champions league was changed to league format so that Messi can score more goals against weaker teams in order to surpass Ronaldo's goals at the champions league.
Ronaldo fans too dull man😂😂

[ProDG @officialProDG]

You can't try to convince anyone that Ronaldo is the GOAT without sounding stupid.
Dope skit from Layi😂

Lol, that's the point. What Ronaldo was doing in his prime is what Messi is doing now that he's aging out of football. This is nowhere close to the Messi I watched growing up.

[Raphizo @r4phizo]

Ronaldo was doing this with Bale and Benzema at Real Madrid but no, na only tapin goals una de see. SMH

[JN Aryeetey @AryeeteyJn1932]

Messi is so great that an entire fanbase has to convince people the World Cup is rigged for him instead of accepting that a 39-year-old has 8 goals in 5 matches. 😭

🇮🇷 Iran's late winner against Egypt ruled out by VAR... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇨🇴 Colombia's stoppage-time winner against Portugal ruled offside... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇬🇭 Ghana denied what looked like a clear penalty against England... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇪🇨 Germany's controversial goal against Ecuador allowed to stand... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇺🇸 Balogun's red-card suspension overturned before the knockout stage... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇭🇷 Croatia's last-minute goal against Portugal ruled out... but it's rigged for Messi.
🇦🇷 Messi is 39 years old and has scored 8 goals in 5 matches... but it's rigged for Messi.

At some point, maybe accept that controversial refereeing decisions happen in football.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

Ronaldo fans just create rules out of their asses to justify their jealousy towards Messi's success.
Read and learn!!

[ProDG @officialProDG]

If I was God, I'll just take the eyesight of every Ronaldo fan. Their eyes are of no use.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@dakhilaf @Flickxball No it wasn't, the defender took the ball from him clearly.
Salah tripped after losing the ball.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@RMAleethal @amasiamahcortez @__theSeyram At least, you now agree that the fans were blamed...less than Ronaldo,but blamed regardless, so your initial comment was dishonest.
Him getting more criticism is normal, he's the most popular member in the team. Messi gets more criticism than his teammates when they lose too.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@RMAleethal @__theSeyram Also, taking credits for victories is not bad, taking it ALONE is the problem. Football is a team sport and any intelligent captain would praise his teammates as a way to foster team bond rather than acting like he's the beginning and end of the team.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@RMAleethal @__theSeyram You statement was that other players don't get the blame for their fails, and I pointed out that they do get blamed.
You didn't say anything about that and you started making points outside the initial argument, if that isn't shifting goalposts, I don't know what is.

The discourse around Ronaldo and why so many people hate him and make fun of him is due to ronaldo himself.

When messi won more ballon'Dors
Ronaldo said: "golden shoe is better".

When messi won more golden shoes.
Ronaldo said :"winning trophies with national team is better"

When messi won copa america:
Ronaldo said: "European teams are alot better and harder".

When messi won the world cup
Ronaldo said: "its only a 7 game tournament and started liking posts claiming fifa rigged it".

When messi went to ligue 1
Ronaldo unprovoked said: "Saudi league is more competitive than ligue 1".

The sad truth is, ronaldo is a loser and fell victim to his OWN narrative he spent years painting. He knew he could never match up to messi and instead of pushing himself, he decided to being down messi's achievements. This isn't someone who is a mentality monster. This person should not be anyone's idol. This is a loser who thought he is greater than he actually was.

All the hate he is receiving is karma. Thats it

“I've won THREE titles with Portugal. Before Cristiano, Portugal won NOTHING."

Now this brings me to that same name “Tinubu of Football”,this time around I want to highlight Ronaldo and Tinubu’s similarities when it comes to selfishness.

We all know how he won those three titles most especially the euros and I will break it down;

Portugal’s first group game was against Iceland and it ended 1-1 with Nani scoring the goal,Portugal second group match ended 0-0 against Austria with the self proclaimed team carrier missing a penalty in the process.The matchday 3 ended 3-3 against Hungary which you scored 2 goals.

You said you carried your team but you didn’t win them a match in the group stage of the tournament,you were lucky enough to qualify for the knockout round as a best loser.

In the Round of 16 Portugal beat Croatia 1-0 with Ricardo Quaresma scoring a late winner in the 117 minute,when they needed “Portugal was nothing before me” he vanished.

The quarter-finals against Poland ended in a shootout which Portugal won 5-3 in the shootout,in the semi finals Portugal beat Wales 2-0 with you and Nani scoring the goals.Infact you had equal goals with Nani in that tournament but you are the one that carried Portugal,how can you be so selfish and disrespectful to the teammates that helped you win a title?like how?

In the finals as well all know you suffered a knee injury which demanded you come off,your replacement Eder scored the winner in the 109th minute securing Portugal’s first international trophy.

You neglected the presence of God in that triumph,you neglected your teammates,I know that if we were to swap situations Messi would have felt bad if you lost a World Cup final,but what did you do to him?

You used your international trophy to mock him,you even added his loss in your foolish documentary but that’s not the reason for this short article,I’m here to tell the world how ungrateful you’ve been to the teammates that helped you win a trophy;Nani was there,Eder was there,Pepe was there,Quaresma was there,Jao Moutinho was there,William was there,till today you act like they never existed.

People always say that these young lads don’t respect Ronaldo enough,when the other generation helped him how did he pay them back?

These boys; Bruno,Cancelo,Neves,Vitinha,Dias and others could have fought for you but I see a group of players who feel disgust when you are around,they will be happy that you are not playing another international tournament with them and I will be rooting for them to go far.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@RMAleethal @__theSeyram You're shifting the goalpost.
Typical of a Ronaldo fan.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

I don't know how people get to platform dunderheads like this.
Nobody said World cup makes you the GOAT.
Messi is the GOAT for winning every prestigious trophy in football, while being the best player at it.

[Shola 👑 @itsSh0la]

If World Cup makes you the GOAT, we’d rate Mbappe over Messi, but it doesn’t. Ronaldo has written his name up there as the greatest and nothing can erase it. At this point, he has nothing to prove.

The greatest there was, is, and will ever be. Thanks for blessing our screens.❤️

[ProDG @officialProDG]

Now Everybody knows football is a team game, but when Okorondu said you can't be considered a legend without international trophy, you people didn't remember it's a team game. You people bashed Messi for not having an international trophy, but now he has it, it's a team sport.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

@RMAleethal @__theSeyram They were held responsible, Portuguese fans were cursing their families for not passing the ball to Okorondu to score.

[ProDG @officialProDG]

I get where you're driving at, but are you aware that this is the same logic used to justify racism and other forms of discrimination?

[Taiwo_junzi @taiwo_junzi]

If you assemble a hundred PhD holders here, they are not all equal intellectually. In plain English, some are more intelligent than others, but they all have a PhD!!!

Same applies to the assemblage of fools, some are more foolish than others!!!

Same applies to the assembly of money-sexual whores, some whores are more shameless and vicious than others!!!!

That is the reason languages tend compare on positive, comparative and superlative basis.

What I’m saying is simple, if you beleive in the equality of human beings you’re a born-fool!!!

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.

The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.

N8.83 trillion is as follows:

1.About 2% of our GDP.

2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.

https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).

If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.

This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.

This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.

A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT

Re: The Matter of Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew and the fictitious  Presidential Economic Advisory Council

We are aware of the public interest in the matter of a man called  Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who has been parading himself as the director-general of a fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council cum Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

The office of the Chief of Staff to the President first blew the whistle on the existence of the illegal agency, following complaints from officials of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council that another government agency appeared to be functioning at cross-purposes with it.

The Chief of Staff, on October 17, 2025, in a letter, asked the DSS and the Police to probe the activities of ‘fraudsters and imposters’ forging appointment letters purportedly from his office.

“The attention of this office has been drawn to the activities of certain individuals and groups engaged in the forgery of official appointment letters purportedly issued from my office. The fake documents, bearing falsified signatures, reference/folio numbers, and seals, have been used to claim leadership appointments to non-existent entities, with particular reference to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.

“The aforementioned entity under the leadership of one Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew as Director-General is said to have an office at the Federal Secretariat Complex Phase 111, 2nd Floor. Also, they have been parading themselves as a legitimate government agency, hosting meetings with both foreigners and Nigerian citizens, and even going so far as to request a note verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United States of America to facilitate visas for some of their staff.

“The above development not only constitutes a serious criminal act but also undermines the integrity of the presidency and the credibility of official government communication. 

“I therefore urge you to initiate a thorough investigation to identify and apprehend those involved and also to uncover the network facilitating the forgery,” the Chief of Staff wrote in his petition to the security agencies.

The letter to the security agencies was accompanied by a copy of the forged appointment letter, a copy of the request for a note verbal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pictures of engagements obtained from the illegal agency's website.

Around the time the Chief of Staff lodged the complaint with the security agencies, the existence of the fake agency had raised concerns within the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

In a letter on October 15, 2025, the Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote to the office of the National Security Adviser and the Chief of Staff to the President, requesting clarification on the status of Adeyemi’s agency. The letter, which Ambassador Anderson Madubuike signed, followed Adeyemi’s October 10 meeting with ambassadors at the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, without recourse to the ministry.

“This act contravenes extant rules and regulations guiding diplomatic practices globally,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in its letter.

On October 20, the Office of the National Security Adviser wrote to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on the request of the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

On 29 October,  the OSGF wrote to the Chief of Staff requesting clarification. “This has become expedient owing to several requests from governmental and non-governmental bodies seeking to ascertain the status of the appointment under consideration”

Two days earlier, the Chief of Staff sent his own clear rebuttal to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, stating that he had never issued an appointment letter to Adeyemi as director general of the fake presidential foreign investment promotion council. The Chief of Staff could not have issued a letter of appointment to a non-existent agency. Moreover, the Chief of Staff does not make appointments or write letters, as these are the exclusive preserve of the Office of the Secretary of the Government of the Federation.

On November 5, 2025, the Chief of Staff responded to the OSGF, again flatly denying Adeniyi Adeyemi and his spurious agency. “Prince Adeniyi Matthew, director-general of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, is unknown to any office, nor do we have any dealings with the said council.

“My attention was drawn to a letter of this purported application, which is fake, and my office has instructed the police and other relevant security agencies to carry out investigations on the person and the entity he claims to represent”, the chief of staff wrote.

The Police made the first move by responding to the chief of staff's letter dated 17 October and began their investigation. On 27 October, Adeyemi was arrested in Abuja at the Secretariat office where he operated his elaborate scam.

The police searched the office and Adeyemi’s home in Suleja, recovering vital documents and exhibits. In Adeyemi’s statement to the police, he claimed that one Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola assisted him in procuring the fake appointment letter. Following his claim, the police went after the said Tanimola.  The Police found that Tanimola died in a fire incident at Kachi Hotel in Abuja on 22 October, five days before Adeyemi’s arrest. Tanimola’s body was seen by the police at the morgue, confirming the death.

The police were able to establish that the agency Adeyemi purportedly headed was fictitious, that he forged his appointment letter and the documents recovered in his office and home, that he falsely paraded himself as a government appointee, and that he falsely solicited a note verbal from the Foreign Affairs Ministry to enable him and his staff to obtain US visas. The police also found that Adeyemi operated 34 bank accounts, with nine opened in the names of his fictitious agencies, known as the FCT Investment Promotion Agency and the Public Private Partnership (FIPA-APP), and the FCT Investment Promotion Act.

The Police found that Adeyemi, using the fake documents he created, fraudulently opened a CBN account by misleading the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation. According to the police, no government money has been transferred into the account.

“The act of the suspect constitutes criminal forgery, impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, thereby bringing the office of the Chief of Staff to the President and the Presidency to disrepute before the public and international community”, the police wrote in the report of the investigation conducted by the assistant commissioner, Kabir Mogaji. 

Based on their investigations, the police filed an eight-count charge at the Federal High Court in Abuja against Adeyemi and two of his accomplices on November 27, 2025. He is due in court on July 27.

Adeyemi was on police bail when he recently claimed that the Chief of Staff had appointed him as DG of the fictitious agency. This claim contradicted his statement to the police in November last year. His new claim prompted the Chief of Staff, on June 8, to issue a disclaimer consistent with earlier advisories that the man, called Adeyemi,  is an impostor. 

The case of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew is a clear case of a con artist who appears to have built a web of false claims to deceive unsuspecting government officials and the public into playing by his scam book. He has a history of fraudulent misrepresentation. In November 2016, he paraded himself as an ambassador and President-General of the World Youth Organisation (WYO), an affiliate of the United Nations (UN). He claimed to have been elected in New Delhi, India. The local media celebrated him until the UN denied the existence of such a body.

Politicians and members of the public who are weaponising Adeyemi's claim against the Chief of Staff should refrain from swallowing his narrative hook, line and sinker. They are advised to await the trial of Adeyemi and his accomplices, as well as the court's judgement, as comments made today are sub judice.
