S@mi:

at-least Mikel is more better than you and i'm sure your parents will prefer mikel more than you !! ewu goat ! you better stop hating.

Let me use this opportunity to ask these good-for-nothing fellas (12large, dextype, princekevo ,efoghorjos) some important questions. If not for the mere fact that, I was banned from making comments the last time I got angry because of some silling people here.

@sley4life,

Are you ok at all, u called mikel a drunker? how? what are you then? Tell me the best footballer that doest drink, smoke or flirt around, pls check the link below if you are still at your cyber cafee, lol
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1299753/Wayne-Rooney-smoking-urinating-street-wonder-Manchester-United-hero-puff.html

He is more patriotic than our nigerian politician in the national assebly, governor, chairmen n even ex-preseident, or he steal money?
If you called him to play n he no come na by force? No be to play and collect match bonus? and the man said no, i don't need the money, i need chelsea, una dey complain, do you know sam okwaraji? what happened to his family after his death?
Football management in Nigeria is use n dumb…so don’t even blame mikel for not coming…it’s better not to come than to come n not perform…
Pls what’s your profession? Do you excel above your pairs? Food for thought for you and other rubbish posters…

Our greatest problem in this country is that we never celebrate anything Nigerian,i dont know any player in the Nigerian squad that has a better standing than John mikel Obi,in terms of club profile,playing time and renumeration.
  The so called GREATS!!!MESSI COULDNT SCORE ANY GOAL IN THE WORLD CUP,       ROONEY DIDNT SCORE ANY GOAL,    RONALDO MANAGED TO SCORE A GOAL and here in nairaland somebody is telling me how great these guys are. Please let us try and celebrate youngmen like us who are legitimately trying to enhance the image of our country in a positive way.
regards

we are entitled to our opinion. Abi did we share same b-day.Mikel is unpatriotic. He is very rude. He is a good player no doubt but no basis of comparison with Messi. So if Rooney is smoking&drinker Mikel should join them? You must be a dimwit for posting that link. Most of our player lack discipline & Mikel is not an exception. U better find something better doing than coming here to exhibit your nonsensical view

princekevo:


The poster jst made a clear analysis between two teenagers who started their career same time and same year on the same performance. After 4 or 5year one has become a world hero and the other struggling to keep his career alive. Instead of Nigerians to be truthful to theselves, we are being clouded with sentiments as usual. After the final match we lost against Argentina in Holland I listened to BBC forcasting the future of Messi and Mikel as the stars of tht tournament. I heard one of the host say that Mikel was gonna be the future Gerald of our time and Messi another Maradona of our time. What went wrong with the other is my question?
And the above goes to you also. No wonder Nigeria is going backwards, becoz stupi.d youths like you thinks success in life or career is all abt how much you are making. Have you asked youself how many people's life have you touched with your success or career? What achievement have you made in your career? Mikel can play and die where they pay him millions, what impact has his career made in Nigerian football, oh becoz he does not receive as much as he receives in his club. No wonder Nigerian football has been buried. Is so funny some people can even call him Nigerian hero.lol. They better go and look up the meaning of the word hero. All the Nigerian praise singers and human worshippers. They signed him 12 million  pounds and so what? He never begged me for food neither his parents so as I nor my family ever begged him for food. Tell me How much does his mates that started the same time with him worths in the football market and i will tell you my worths compared to my mates we started 5 years ago in my career field

@sley4life,
oho, i can now see, so Mikel is not patrotic enough?
What of you are you patriotic…how many life have u affected? Or you’re waiting to be governor b4 impacting on others? We know pple like u are failure and we never see anything good in good pple…
Se na by force to play? Or u no sabi kick ball? Pple like u are frustrated human being take look for excuses here n there…is it illegal to drink or smoke? I don’t even have sense at all…pls don’t try to watch the community shield on Sunday o…useless being.

sley4life:

I disagree. We celebr8 our players.Oliseh, Finidi,Ikpeba, Yekini,Ike uche& co were celebrated. Or would u like to celebra8 failure? U might go on celebrating Yakubull, Kaita etc for such perfomance on the field of play. Success is never hidden. We had just few players worthy of celebration. Or maybe I shuld celebrate Mikel for denouncing not to make the last Olympic team & telling Sia1 to apologise to him b4 he wear the 9ja jersey

sley4life:

I shuld banta words wit u. Cos evry1 cant be a professional footballer. I guess Mikel nor u cant beat me in my profession. About how many lifes have changed, its not for your personal consumption.Maybe u can tell me how many Mikel have changed.

solo1ng1:

Than face your life and stop complaining like a clueless being.

sley4life:

then skip my post

All I hear is Messi! Messi! Messi!

Yet, I don't see what the noise and fuming is all about.

The World Cup just proved that overrated player can't do anything without Xavi and Iniesta.

asofejo:

both MIKEL and MESSI are good players that have won many trophies for their respective clubs, in my opinion LIONEL MESSI is better than MIKEL , MESSI has played a huge role in modern day football to all football lovers compared to MIKEL, if this post is posted on a world wide forum, messi will claim 99.9 percent of the votes if no sentiments is involved, MIKEL is also a good player but he is not in the class of messi for GOD's sake, you should be comparing messi with ronaldo,tevez,fabregas,drogba,iniesta of this world, even MIKEL knows that MESSI is better than himself{MIKEL}

milehigh06:

DON'T MIND NIGERIANS JARE, THEY DON'T KNOW FOOTBALL AT ALL. THEY THINK THAT BECAUSE THEY GREW UP PLAYING "MONKEY POST" OR PLAYING ON THE FIELDS OR PLAYGROUNDS AT SCHOOL THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL. MIKEL AND MESSI PLAY DIFFERENT POSITIONS, THIS WOULD BE LIKE COMPARING A WINGER LIKE C. RONALDO WITH A CENTRAL MIDFIELDER LIKE FABREGAS.
Gbam!! Ori e pe jare. So we should celebrate failure because of some skewed sense of partioritism?

angelsing:

I am man united fan,i stil think Mikel Obi wud ve been a better player at manu.wat i want u chelsea fans to do,is to always check players rating after each chelsea match nd u can tel hw wel is doing.if mikel picks up an injury in your team u wil nt fil it as u wil fill the absence of Essien.Mikel is not an important player in chelsea,he is jst a squad player.let is performance rob off on our national team.

@Chidichris

Oga ade, your comment was outta planet pertainin dis topic, u just talk am as if dis topic is to criticise mykel.
wia u not aware of d topic between C.Ronaldo vs Messi? r niether any of em from flygeria? or is it b'cos mykel is a flygerian? no think am so oga, d topic is not about what u think. it's even a compliment comparin our own nigerian player (mykel) to d best player in d world. I'm an Arsenal fan, buh i lyk mykel pass anything. buh dat doesn't mean dat, wen comparin mykel to a player dat is better dan him, i should hide d truth n stil support him b'cos i lyk him or b'cos he's a flygerian, despite both players started dsame tym. so pls don't see it as hatred to him (mykel), atleast, it's 1 of d reason y dey have world best players award! N for doz of y'all sayin niether of em cannot be compared b'cos dey played from differ position, y'all r wrong! FIFA does not ask for position b4 gettin his best player of d year, it's all about a players perfomance both club n country, n nothin else. differ players has won d fifa world best player award in differ position. Zinedin Zidan has won it as a Central midfielder. Ronaldo Delima has won it as a striker. Canavaro has won it as a defender. C.Ronaldo won it as a right wing midfielder. Messi also won it as a supportin stricker! (pls correct me if i'm wrong)

kilakhan:
He was sensational then and is still very good

kilakhan:
His vision was extraordinary.

kilakhan:
It is like comparing Iker Casillas and Diego Forlan. Since they dont do the same thing it is fruitless.

kilakhan:
No one talks of that brilliant tackle that stopped a goal bound move or that clearance of the line

there is no point comparing Mikel and Messi, they really dont play in the same position and never have, whilst Mikel has always been a midfielder Messi is a support or second striker, i do wish Mikel had continued in the role he played for Nigeria in 2005. He was sensational then and is still very good right now as a defensive midfielder, I had hoped that he would be the one to take over from Okocha. His vision was extraordinary.
To compare him to Messi is a waste of time. It is like comparing Iker Casillas and Diego Forlan. Since they dont do the same thing it is fruitless.
Besides strikers are always the darling of the footballing world. They are the ones everyone talks about. No one talks of that brilliant tackle that stopped a goal bound move or that clearance of the line,
