Avoid Doing Business With People Who Rank Ronaldo Above Messi – Says Bovi
Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi has sparked fresh debate among football fans after sharing his opinion on the long-running rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Bovi jokingly advised people to be careful when doing business with anyone who insists that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi.
According to him, a person’s opinion in the Messi-Ronaldo debate can reveal how they think and interpret facts, especially in situations involving money and trust.
He said, “If you want to get into business with someone you don’t know so well and you’re going to invest your money together, ask the person who his favourite footballer is.
“If he says Ronaldo, you might still want to do business with him. If he says Ronaldo is his GOAT, that’s perfectly okay. But ask him between Ronaldo and Messi who is a better footballer. If he says matter-of-factly that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, pick up your shoes and run.”
Bovi explained that there is nothing wrong with choosing Ronaldo as a favourite player or even calling him the Greatest of All Time (GOAT).
However, he argued that anyone who confidently claims Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi may have a tendency to ignore obvious facts and shape reality to fit personal beliefs.
His comments have since sparked mixed reactions on social media, with fans of both football stars once again debating who is the better player.
