Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi has reignited the long-running debate over who is the greater footballer between Messi and Ronaldo after advising fans to avoid doing business with anyone who insists the Portuguese star is a better player than the Argentine legend.

In a video on his Instagram page on Wednesday, the ace comedian said a person’s opinion on the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry could reveal how they perceive reality, joking that it should serve as a test before entering into a business partnership.

According to Bovi, there is nothing wrong with preferring Ronaldo as a favourite player or even considering him the Greatest of All Time (GOAT). However, he argued that anyone who unequivocally claims Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi raises a red flag.

“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,” he said.

n

“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.”

The comedian went further, arguing that such a person has the tendency to “alter reality” to suit personal beliefs, regardless of facts or evidence.

Bovi said people who hold such views could twist obvious truths to fit their own narratives, warning that this mindset could extend beyond football discussions into business dealings.

His comments have since sparked reactions on social media, with football fans once again divided over the age-old rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi, two of the most decorated players in the history of the sport.
