Nigeria inter¬national and Chelsea of England mid¬fielder, John Obi Mikel, is now a British citizen.

smiley wink cool
The Super Eagles’ A-list player had waited patiently since he applied for the prestigious British passport last year and was delighted to get a positive feedback from the relevant authori¬ties last week.

Mike became eligible for citizenship, having spent more than eight years in England following his transfer to Chelsea from Lyn Oslo of Norway in 2006.

Before the commence¬ment of the current English Premier League season, speculations were rife that Chelsea’s manager, Jose Mourinho, wanted to sacri-fice him to free up a foreign quota spot, but this is now a thing of the past.

‘’Mikel was issued a Brit¬ish passport last week, and he is very happy to be in the possession of the passport,’’ a representative of the Super Eagles’ star revealed.

Stay there wallowing in self defeat and self pity. many of your country men are doing the so called white collar jobs with their Nigerian passport in the same country.
