Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi has stirred fresh debate over the long-running rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, joking that a person's opinion on the two football legends could determine whether they are trustworthy enough for business.
Speaking in a video shared on his Instagram page, Bovi said anyone planning to enter a business partnership should first ask the other person who they believe is the better footballer between Messi and Ronaldo.
According to the comedian, there is nothing wrong with supporting Ronaldo or even considering the Portuguese captain the Greatest of All Time (GOAT). However, he argued that claiming Ronaldo is objectively a better footballer than Messi should raise concerns.
"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."
Bovi explained that if the person says Ronaldo is their favourite player or even calls him the GOAT, there is no issue. But he jokingly warned that if the individual insists Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, it could be a sign to walk away.
"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 humorously argued that such people may have a tendency to ignore obvious facts and reshape reality to match their personal beliefs.
According to him, that mindset could extend beyond football conversations into important business decisions, making it a potential red flag when choosing business partners.
Bovi's remarks have since sparked lively discussions across social media, with supporters of both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo once again defending their preferred football icons.
The rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo remains one of the most debated topics in football history, with both players enjoying remarkable careers filled with individual awards, club success and international achievements.
