Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi has shared the question he uses to judge how potential business partners think before working with them.
In a video shared on X, Bovi said he asks people who they believe is the better footballer between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and their answer can reveal their approach to facts and opinions.
“If you’re going into business with someone you don’t know very well, ask them who the better footballer is between Ronaldo and Messi,” Bovi said.
“If they tell you Ronaldo is the better footballer, pick up your shoes and run. It means they can take what is true and twist it to fit their own reality.”
Bovi added that a person’s ability to interpret facts differently from what he considers obvious could also affect how they approach business decisions.
“When someone can genuinely believe that, you have to be careful because they can do the same thing in business,” he said.
