July 10, 1999, at Obafemi Awolowo University, Black Axe brutally murdered George Iwilade (Afrika) and four others in cold blood.

George Iwilade, a.k.a "Afrika" 21-year-old, 300-level Law student and Secretary-General of the Student Union was a fearless, brilliant student and easily recognized for his traditional attire.

He openly fought against cultism on campus.
Afrika led the raid in school were Black axe was gathering, they seized guns, axe, dagger, black clothing and regalia of the Black Axe confraternity.

The nine students were handed to the university authorities and the local police. The suspects were discharged and acquitted by a magistrate court after the evidence mysteriously went missing during the trial.

Then came the revenge:- Friday night, July 9, 1999, thousands of Kegites from other universities across Nigeria gathered at the OAU campus for their festival.

The crowd was massive. There was loud singing, drumming, and palm wine drinking. 40 masked Black Axe members wearing black used this opportunity to enter the campus unnoticed.

By 3-4 a.m, July 10 , They entered the students hostel shouting the names of specific student union leaders, firing guns.

They entered Awolowo hall, Room 273, Block 8, Africa was shot on head in the bed while sleeping and repeatedly cut with an axe, leaving him with no chance of survival.

They searched for the SUG President Lanre Adeleke ("Legacy"), who escaped through the balcony.

Four innocent students were killed, Eviano Ekelemu - a 400-level medical student who met them on the way, Babatunde Oke, Efe Ekpede and Yemi Ajiteru, a graduating student who only returned to campus to clear his carryover.

This is one of the darkest chapters in the history of Nigerian universities which brought the country to a standstill.

Today is 27 years and every July 10, students, alumni, and civil society groups organize candlelight processions, symposiums, and remembrance marches for the OAU 5.

George Iwilade "Afrika" lost his life but his story continues to inspire generations of OAU students.

This is one thing about most Messi fans, they want everyone to agree by force that Messi is the GOAT or the better player, as if those are objective facts. They’re not. They’re opinions.

First of all, what does it actually mean to be called the GOAT?

A GOAT isn’t just the most gifted footballer. It’s someone who combines greatness in every category:

Dominance
Longevity
Consistency
Impact
Adaptability
Trophies and records
Clutch moments

When you put all of those together, Ronaldo has the strongest GOAT case.

Records, awards and trophies alone have never decided who the GOAT is. If they do, there won’t be debates about Pele and Maradona. Greatness has always been bigger than just medals.

Ironically, if we’re talking about records, Ronaldo’s résumé is stacked. He’s football’s all-time leading goalscorer, has won league titles in multiple countries, conquered England, Spain and Italy, dominated the Champions League, and remained an elite goalscorer into his 40s.

Then let’s talk about who the better footballer is.

For me, it’s Ronaldo because he’s the most complete attacker football has ever seen.

He can score with either foot. He is arguably the greatest header of the ball in football history. His movement off the ball is unmatched. His positioning is crazy. He can score inside the box, outside the box, from free kicks, penalties, volleys, long range, first-time finishes, counter-attacks and crosses. He has pace, power, aerial dominance and athleticism.

Most importantly, he evolved.

He wasn’t the same player at 22, 28, 33 or 39. He constantly adapted his game to remain the best. That shows football intelligence.

He also proved himself in different leagues, different tactical systems and under different managers. Every time people doubted whether he could adapt, he answered on the pitch.

People often confuse aesthetics with effectiveness.

Just because a player looks smoother on the ball doesn’t automatically make him the better footballer.

Efficiency > aesthetics.

If someone prefers Messi’s style of play, that’s completely fine. Football is subjective, and everyone has their preference.

But let’s not act like preferring Ronaldo is irrational when his career gives you every reason to put him at the top.

And even if anyone want to argue Messi is the more naturally gifted player, being the most talented isn’t the same as being the GOAT.

The GOAT conversation is about the complete body of work. It goes far beyond the better player.

Just look at Ronaldo’s influence for example, that’s how you Know he’s the GOAT.

I understand the Christiano hate sha…

Usually, people don’t like a guy who tries to go by self belief over opinions.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I will wake up tomorrow with same mood as I did today. I did my best”.

“I won three titles with Portugal, before me it was ZERO titles. I can only be happy”.
