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.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed. Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately. Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given. The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

Fighting corruption: Why Nigeria must introduce death sentence for all corrupt office holders?

According to Section 33 of the Nigerian constitution, capital crimes include those relating to terrorism, third-degree murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, incest, helping someone who is legally incapable of consenting to suicide, perjury, and military mutiny. The following crimes are eligible for the death penalty, yet none of them address the main problem impeding Nigeria's advancement and development. The country possesses both human and material resources to rival any nation in the world but yet, the nation swallows in abject poverty; malnutrition, illiteracy, delipidated or broken-down infrastructure, communal wars, gang related violence, banditry, terrorism, and worst of all, spread of infectious disease in both rural an urban area. Like many other countries, Cameroon has expressed its concerns about the grave extent of bribery and corruption in all spheres of the national economy and the damage it is bringing to the future of its ci...
