Chelsea Star To Be Nigeria's World Cup Captain by Ayemokhia: 4:11am On Apr 05, 2010
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has been ­appointed captain of ­Nigeria.

The 22-year-old will lead the Super Eagles at the World Cup finals after replacing veteran Portsmouth striker Kanu, 33.

“Mikel is a young player and a good player with a great future,” said Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback. “I think he already shows great promise. As we go into the future, it is important to get a fresh, young face to be the team leader.

“He knows it is a big responsibility. I am sure he will have no problems with the rest of the team

oga,
have u ever asked urself, WHY MIKEL?
sometimes april fool can go beyond april down to may or even june.
in life, ur tracks can take u to places.
if the new coach decides to use mikel, will u fault that since he has been in active service all season in a very good side like chelsea.
like i said, anything can happen and i will not be surprised if it goes beyond april fool or would u rather see yakubu captain eagles?

I have not bothered myself to ask any questions because the story was thought up by the editorial board of kickoff magazine to humour themselves and the public.

If you intend to read meaning into every April fool prank, that is your prerogative. However, my post is meant to slag off The Mirror for plagiarism and passing off unsubstantiated information to the public!

i only want to hear someone to vow to committing suicide if mikel becomes the eagles captain.
as long as mikel is in the team and as long as we have a new coach who is not a nigerian, anything is possible.
the soul decission of who becomes captain under the coach is that of the coach and if he is to base his decission on what is on ground on who is who on the international scene today, i see mikel becoming the next capt,
