It was gathered that the clinic which was held in Lagos on Sunday, November 25, afforded the youngsters the chance to receive first hand coaching.

Mikel first launched the charity in the 2012, and 6-years later has reintroducing the foundation to discover young sporting talents.

The kids from the Little Tigers Football Club also got to enjoy the privilege of having a kick-about with the former Chelsea midfielder.


While speaking at the football clinic, Mikel said; "My foundation is about the kids, I’m giving back to the community, to Nigeria, home is where it all started for me and I will always want to give back to Nigeria.

"I want to get it right this time. It’s been there and I think now is the right time to come out and do it properly.

"This is the time, this is the right time to do things for kids and not we have enough to make sure it is successful."

How can anyone hoping for a better future in this damned nation wish to have NNPC privatised??
NEPA was privatised few years ago not up to a decade, fast forward to today, phcn now laments insufficient resources and capacity to handle the nation's electricity sector, why? Because loans have been acquired by the shareholders in order to haste profit making and some of the phcn assets are used as collateral, I mean they (shareholders) are investors doing business for the sole purpose of making profits, not investing to serve the nation, NO
Privatising either 50 or 90% of NNPC simply means, allowing Atiku (if elected) to sell to his conglomerates and associates, thereby making him and his cohorts the driving force of the nation's main economy ( crude oil)
I am not supporting this chaotic move,
To all social media influencers and bloggers of backwardness, continue getting paid to confuse the nation, you all are on a fruitless mission, this country will NEVER go back to a state of deceptive and rotten leadership,
Well meaning Nigerians like me that are not politically motivated but rising to a clarion call for patriotism will exercise our voting right come 2019, we are very aware ATIKU is never an option for us.
Thanks to this thread, I can finally express my thoughts on Atiku and NNPC privatisation.

How is this related to the Mikel Obi Foundation?

John Obi Mikel would simply teach the kids skills of passing balls backwards....

It's the easterners that are killing the east, not Lagos. Nobody forced him to set it up in Lagos.

And there's a bishop spending billions on church when it's thing like this that we NEED

This is good.

Nysc is making me to miss Nigeria Info, Top sports on Top radio, Murphy Ijemba evening show on Max Fm

He could have done it in either ss or se biafra but lagos is still good shall,after all it is a no mans land.
Lagos originally belongs to we the ijaws and benin people.but since those weak oyorobas want to claim it,they will have to fight for it and which we know they cant,as they are physically weak.
Their strenght lays in betraying,backstabbing and ritualism.
Good one to my biafran brother mikel.
May your days be long.
Viva biafra
