Avoid Doing Business With Ronaldo Fans’ — Bovi’s Messi Remark Goes Viral
Nigerian comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma aka Bovi, has generated fresh reactions from football fans after he joined the age-long debate on who is the better footballer between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bovi, on his Instagram page on Wednesday, shared a video where he jokingly advised people to be careful before going into any business partnership with anyone who insists that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi.
‘Ask Them What Their Favourite Footballer Is’
The comedian argued that where you stand in the Messi-Ronaldo debate can be a litmus test for how you view facts and reality, especially when money and trust are involved.
“If you want to do 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. “That’s okay if he says Ronaldo is his GOAT. But ask him to choose Ronaldo or Messi, as the better footballer. “If he says matter-of-factly that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, pick up your shoes and run,” Bovi said.
Bovi Warns Against ‘Changing Reality’
The comedian said there is nothing wrong with anyone having Ronaldo as a favorite player or even thinking of him as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time).
But he said it is a red flag to say the Portuguese star is a better footballer than Messi with a lot of confidence.
He said that people who think this way tend to “change reality” to fit their own beliefs, regardless of what facts or evidence might exist.
This way of thinking could go beyond football disputes and spill over into business transactions, because the person might distort clear facts to fit a story that they want to tell, he said.
Since Bovi’s comments, a debate has ensued on social media with fans of both players arguing again about the superiority of Messi and Ronaldo.
The rivalry between the Argentinian and the Portuguese has been the talk of the footballing world for more than a decade now, with both players being hailed as two of the greatest footballers of all time.
