Congrats Mikel, you're truly a Nigerian soccer legend. Meanwhile get yourself an Oraimo Rock to enjoy uninterrupted sound experience even when you're in public, the ENC feature it's got is amazing.

He made me fall in love with football. The Holland 2005 World youth championship was the best. My luv and passion for Chelsea grew strong after he signed for the club. Am very happy he achieved everything an African footballer can achieve in the game.

Who cares, after all his waisted years at Chelsea, it's a shame to to even imagine that this same Michel came second after messi in same tournament. Nonsense and ingredients

Are you daft or something worse,if you quote me again,may you die a miserable death.
You just jump on people's comment to look for who to bash.
If your peanut sized brain can't comprehend my eulogy to him,then I'm not sorry for you.

Is this the best you can come up with? You just answered my original question, you haven't achieved much, and from the look of things, it doesn't seem likely in the future neither.

With the current situation of Nigeria, if Mikel was your brother will you advice him to go on that risky adventure?
Imagine Mikel traveling with his team mates to go and play and their bus get attacks or he gets kidnapped.
You don't give back by just playing in the league, you can provide platform for young stars to show case their talent, something he is doing already.

A great bow out to a champ,you have given your own quota to the national team.

BREAKING: John Mikel Obi Retires From Football After 20 Years Of Professional Career

Former Chelsea and Super Eagles Midfielder, John Mikel Obi has announced his retirement from football via his Instagram account on Tuesday, 27 September, 2022.

Mikel John Obi, born on 22 April 1987, is a Nigerian professional footballer who formally played as a defensive midfielder.

Mikel began his career with local club Plateau United, before joining Norwegian club Lyn at the age of 17 in 2004.

In 2006, he made a controversial transfer to English club Chelsea after Manchester United claimed they had already signed him.

He stayed with Chelsea for 11 years, before moving to China with Tianjin TEDA in 2017. After two years in China, he returned to England on a short-term deal with Middlesbrough, before joining Trabzonspor on a free transfer in July 2019.
