Chelsea star Mikel Obi is the new Nigeria captain after Ahmed Musa relinquished the position at a press briefing in Kaduna Thursday, saying this is to “right the wrong” previously done. Last year, Ahmed Musa was named Eagles skipper by former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh, who overlooked the seniority in the team which would have installed vice-captain Mikel as team captain following the retirement of Vincent Enyeama from international football. Mikel will therefore lead Nigeria in tomorrow's must-win AFCON qualifier against Egypt in Kaduna. Chelsea midfielder Mikel debut for the Eagles in 2005, while CSKA Moscow winger Ahmed Musa made his Nigeria bow five years later. cc: lalasticlala http://mtnfootball.com/news/621328/BREAKING-Mikel-new-Eagles-skipper-Ahmed-Musa-surrenders-post

Either you like him or not , he has always been the most influential with more expectation and pressure to perform on the pitch. He is always held responsible if the team loses or win. And by longevity and experience he's the senior of all. He therefore deserves to be the captain. Gbam. 1 Like |

I remember Safarigirl's thread late last year on "Oliseh and the impending doom". .................................................................................... www.nairaland.com/2648783/oliseh-vs-enyeama-impending-doom .................................................................................... She, myself and a host of others addressed Oliseh's manner of approach towards choosing a new skipper for the team. You can check out the thread for a memory refresh. #smiles ............... Soooo... John Mikel Obi is finally set to "officially" lead the Super Eagles in a competitive fixture. Wow!!! Awesome. It's not the first time he'll be wearing the arm-band. He did so in a friendly against Messi's Argentina in Asia (bangladesh I think?) which Nigeria lost by 3-1 in a 2-legged friendly series which saw the first leg end 4-1 in favor of Nigeria's Super Eagles (the Guiness cup friendly match). I'm 100% certain Samson Siasia had a big hand in straightening the captaincy issue out. He must be applauded and Musa commended for acknowledging "seniority" and "Class". Musa is a real humble fellow. He's a good sportsman. Mikel leading out the Super Eagles tomorrow officially in his first competitive fixture as Captain will be a huge sight to behold. He's feared and well respected by teams all over Africa and around the world. Mikel commands the fear factor and the super class and pedigree to strike fear in opponents as Super Eagles new captain. Siasia has handled this very well indeed. This is partly where Oliseh missed it. It's like the biblical scenario where Jacob cursed reuben only generations to pass before a great prophet named Moses took the curse away. Well, with this "skipper issue" now corrected and placed right.... Let's hope this augurs well tomorrow for the Super Eagles and even far beyond the afcon qualifiers. 1 Like |
