Boniface shuts down fan who says he’s better than Ronaldo

Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has dismissed a social media claim that placed him above Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, responding with a characteristically blunt remark that quickly drew attention online.

The exchange unfolded on X after a user identified as @TheDamiForeign posted: "At this point, can we all agree that Victor Boniface is a better player than Ronaldo?"

Rather than embracing the comparison, the Bayer Leverkusen striker firmly rejected the suggestion with a humorous but sharp response in Nigerian Pidgin: "Ur papa go just dey regret why he no wear cd that day."

The comment, loosely implying the user's father would regret not using protection, underscored Boniface's refusal to entertain comparisons with one of football's most decorated players.

Boniface offered no further explanation, ending the exchange with that single response. His reaction was widely interpreted as a sign of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements and legacy, while also reflecting the striker's well-known candid and witty personality on social media.

The brief interaction has since generated discussion among football fans, with many praising Boniface for dismissing what they viewed as an unnecessary comparison between a rising star and a global football icon.
