A tale of two GOATS...

 

Ronaldo somehow entered the conversation yesterday but is it time for both of them to exit the stage? (Photo credit: LV)

Omo! If you have followed me a bit or engaged me on certain topics, you’ll know I don’t make absolute statements on some topics. An example is the CR7 – Lionel Messi and Wizkid – Davido debate but the one that happened yesterday left me in no man’s land.

Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia yesterday LOL, I know you won’t understand but I kinda lost more than Argentina but let’s leave it that way. Folks were dragging their GOAT after the game but the other guy, the legend of Old Trafford decided to steal the dragging.

It’s no longer news that Manchester United have parted ways with Cristiano Ronaldo after his weird interview with Piers Morgan last week; the news is the fact that he managed to enter the scene on the day the entire universe chose to drag Messi and his teammates after their shock loss to Argentina.

I will come back to Weezy and OBO another time but is there a reason Ronaldo chose to throw his Old Trafford legacy away like a used recharge card? It’s not even funny because as it stands, the dude won’t get legendary status anywhere, of course, he goes back to Sporting Lisbon and behaves there LOL.

I am a big fan of both of them, to be honest, and I strongly believe two kings can rule the same throne in their context but it’s beginning to look like they both will exit the stage soon and one of them isn’t leaving on a high, or how do you explain the situation of CR7?

One GOAT was turned into prime asun by Saudi Arabia and the other was flushed down the tunnel like a used condom by his club after he threw them under the bus at the altar of his personal desires. I am at a loss for words and it’s not even me dragging them, I’m legit worried.

Yes, I lost money on one and I’m losing pride on the other. Yesterday was just a horrible day in that regard but there’s an opportunity for redemption for both of them. Ronaldo can score and lead Portugal to greatness and no one will remember yesterday, Messi can pick up from the next game for Argentina and Saudi will be history… It’s open-ended.

I am rooting for them and I hope they bounce back but have they gotten to the end of the hustle?

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
