Heir to Cristiano: Jude Bellingham needs more than goals to compare

There's a reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, some ardent fans of his even believe he is far superior to a particular Argentinean based in America.

Ronaldo's achievement is unmatched, he has won the biggest trophies in history, created over 173 individual records and leads the race in the number of goals scored in both local and international football. A player of such remarkable qualities should never be compared to a kid.

Comparing him to Jude Bellingham is unfair to the English starlet who is beginning to discover another facet of his game which is scoring goals on a consistent streak. Jude has found the net in 10 consecutive games in his first 10 matches for Real Madrid.

What a way to adjust a super talented team.

Jude goal scoring prowess was made possible by Carlo Ancelotti who saw other managers failed to see in him, which is his instinct to score, good positioning in front of goal and good dribbling skills to evade tackles.

Realizing he has striker's touch, Ancelotti gave him the license to roam forward and score goals. That tactical tweak has massively helped Real Madrid build a title aspiring team without Karim Benzema.

His flurry of goals has attracted praise singers from the press who are already comparing to everyone including Real Madrid's greatest player Cristiano Ronaldo/ A player who has been on top of his game for the past 17 years and still breaking records far away in the middle east.

What set Ronaldo apart from other players is his longevity; high standard of play, his goal rate and assist (60 to 50 goals a season along with 15 to 13 assists) as well as trophies won with both club and country.

Bellingham is a good player no doubt about that but what he really needs to do is ignore the unnecessary comparison and focus on his game. He has to improve every facet of his game and create his own history just like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard once did.

Educational system in Nigeria is dangerous: Why lectures are responsible for 70% of adult suicide in schools

The troubling questions most Nigerians refuse to ask themselves probably due to its complicated and complex nature is 'why are Nigeria students taking their own lives in schools?' First thought that will undoubtedly come to mind is the students' financial and economic struggles as a result of the badly managed government. Nigeria's current problems include bribery and corruption, senile leadership, food insecurity, inflation, fuel difficulties, Forex challenges, and, most cruelly, widespread thievery by public officials. Second thought could be social, or peer pressure, emotional blackmail or relationship matters. Third reason is the radical policy of the incumbent president Bola Ahmed Tinubu who ensured subsidized education was eradicated and replaced with student loan. But the major reason which has contributed more deaths than the aforementioned is the role of lecturers and other public officials in the educational system. Do you know that once a student is admitt...

Nigeria lies: Why Boko Haram, Banditry and Kidnapping might never end

Insecurity in Nigeria is a business venture for top officials who have brilliantly covered up their tracks irrespective of the carnage it has cost over the years. Due to Nigeria's extremely corrupt political structure, certain officials who were unfortunate enough to have their photo taken dining with a Boko Haram leader have risen to the second-highest position in the government and have stifled any idea of conducting any investigation. Ahead of him, a different official declared with audacity that "an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the northern part of Nigeria" and demanded the liberation of the group. Regretfully, since 2012, this region has lost about $250 billion in investments and lands, and over 200,000 people have died. Horrifically, that same individual rose to become the president of Nigeria and left a devastating legacy in his 8-year tenure. NTS reported that over 63111 died in his 8-year-time, the report is clearly stated in Vanguard Newspaper 6th June...
