Nigerian comedian and actor, Abovi Ugboma, also popularly known as Bovi, has advised people to run from anyone who says Ronaldo is better than Messi.
In a video posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Bovi said a person’s opinion on the two football stars could reveal how they view reality.
He suggested that it could even serve as a test before entering into a business partnership.
According to him, there is nothing wrong with supporting Ronaldo or regarding the Portuguese forward as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT).

However, he said he becomes concerned when someone insists Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi.
“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.
“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 argued that people who hold such views have a tendency to “alter reality” to suit their personal beliefs, regardless of the facts.
He added that such individuals could twist obvious truths to fit their own narratives, warning that the same mindset might also affect their approach to business and decision-making.
Bovi’s comments have since generated reactions on social media, with fans once again divided over the long-running debate between Ronaldo and Messi, two of football’s most successful players.
