Ronaldo celebrates reaching 400 million Instagram followers

The 37-year-old, who currently has 404 million followers, posted a video on the platform for his supporters which included his famous ‘Siuuu’ celebration.

The Manchester United and Portugal superstar also targeted another ‘100 and 200 million’ followers on the social media site in a 30-second video released on Monday afternoon.
In his post, Ronaldo said: ‘Hi guys, 400 million. Wow, what a number. Now I can say Siuuu!

‘Well it’s fantastic, what a moment for me. Without you this wouldn’t be possible. So from the bottom fo my heart I have to say thank you. Keep going like that!

‘I will share my life with you, all the things with you because you deserve it. So thank you very much. Let’s do it for more 100 million, 200 million – thank you guys!’

Ronaldo, who has also played for Real Madrid, Juventus and Sporting Lisbon in a stunning 20-year career, is 92 million followers ahead of the second most-followed person on Instagram, US model and TV personality Kylie Jenner.

Presumably much to Ronaldo’s satisfaction too, he is 96 million followers ahead of third place on the list: long-term Ballon d’Or rival Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo was in action for United on Sunday but did not score in the 4-2 victory against Leeds, after breaking his goalscoring drought last week against Brighton.

The five-time Champions League winner will be targeting further glory in the competition this season, as United face Atletico Madrid in the last-16 on Wednesday night.
[8:19 AM, 2/22/2022] Dennis: Goodluck Jonathan reveals how 2023 elections will be

Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has predicted that there will be credible elections come 2023, adding that elections will come and go but Nigeria will still remain. He said this, yesterday, during the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Council of the Wise, COW, two-day strategic retreat and planning workshop in Lagos.

Jonathan said he believed that the forth coming elections in Nigeria will be credible elections.

He said: “I believe the elections in Nigeria will be credible. Elections will come and go. From 1999 when this present political dispensation started, we have been going through elections. I have participated in a number of them that you know very well.

“When election is coming, there is always this fear that the country will implode but you see that the country has remained stable. When I was in office, in 2015 elections, I learnt that some people were even sending their wards out of the country but nothing happened. So, 2023 will come and go but this country will still remain.” Speaking on the issue of trust deficit, Jonathan said the council is an advisory body, and that it doesn’t have the force to compel member states to behave in a particular way, adding that the issue of trust deficit, to some extent is a bit objective, but that when they reason together and come up with a programme, they take it up with the commission. The retreat had in attendance representatives from Ghana, Liberia, Guinea Bissau, Cote D’Ivoire, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone as well as foreign partners, German Development Cooperation (GIZ) and Folke Bernadotte Academy, FBA.
