Yahaya Bello answered this question a few years ago and I'm satisfied with his answer:

[img]https://images./69yTf88whj2ncBOiFIZGIu.jpg[/img]

Harry Maguire is 27 years old so he doesn't even belong in this conversation. All the other players you mentioned are either on short term contracts or long term contracts which are nearing the end.

Radamel Falcao who expressed his support for Mikel has been left alone. Why don't they also terminate his contract? Or is it because he isn't black?

helinues:
Alves, Zabaletta, Maguire, De Jong are still playing regularly for their respective clubs even though they are in the same or above age of Mikel.

Even Balotelli , one of the controversial players ever is now a captain for his club.

Mikel is arrogant.. Simple as ABC

Mikel is 32 years old. At that age no club will be willing to offer a long term contract unless you're a C.Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic or Messi.
This latest controversy has more to do with Mikel's stand on an issue affecting society at large not just footballers.

helinues:
How many clubs has he left in a hurry lately? That's the question you are dodging

Wanting to protect your family=feeling "too big" abi?

The man only made a critical comment on social media. He never threatened to go on strike or boycott games because of the Coronavirus, but that is tantamount to feeling big. SMH

helinues:
He has been having problems with his past clubs lately. He should quit playing football if he is feeling too big as a player.

He only wants what's best for his family.

helinues:
I think Mikel is arrogant .My personal opinion though

Turkish Fan Insults Mikel Obi On His Baby Mama's IG And She Savagely Responds


The former Nigeria captain condemned the ongoing Turkish Super Lig, and could pay a bigger price than the termination of his Trabzonspor contract.

For better or worse, John Mikel Obi has always been highly opinionated.

It is the quality that made him such a good captain for the Nigeria national team for many years, and endeared him to the fans. It also, at various points, led to an uneasy relationship with the Nigeria Football Federation; his propensity to speak his mind and stand on principle came to be regarded as evidence of a lack of respect within a very gerontocratic culture.

This time, almost a year removed from his international retirement, he is once again suffering personal injury for speaking out in the face of administrative recklessness. This time, it is from club Trabzonspor, who took offence at his latest comments decrying the lack of sensitivity of the Turkish football authorities.

The backstory centres on the coronavirus, which the WHO has now labelled a pandemic, prompting leagues all over Europe to shut down.


High-profile personalities, including coaches (Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, for instance, was one of the first in the Premier League to test positive) and players alike (Callum Hudson-Odoi in England, Blaise Matuidi and Daniele Rugani in Italy, 35 per cent of the Valencia squad, several members of the Sampdoria squad, you could go on and on) have been hit by the virus, prompting the suspension of play altogether.

However, the Turkish Super Lig has ploughed on undeterred, initially bent on having fans in the stands before making a token concession and electing to play behind closed doors.


It is against this backdrop that Mikel took the Instagram to register his objection, stating he did “not feel comfortable…play(ing) football in this situation” and that “everyone should be at home with their families and loved ones in this critical time.”

“There is more to life than football,” he wrote.

Credit to him for saying what everyone else was thinking – Galatasaray striker Radamel Falcao agreed in the comments, and he cannot be the only one – but title-chasing Trabzonspor did not take kindly to what they apparently construed as a form of dissent.

Ergo: both parties’ decision to part ways. Any pretence of it being amicable is pretty much shattered by the fact that Mikel will receive no compensation, and agreed to forgo any other bonuses.

Beyond the satisfaction of being a martyr, and of once again sticking up for what he believes in, it is unclear precisely what direction Mikel’s career goes.

The former Chelsea man is still only 32, and his two daughters were born and raised in London, so a return to the England could well be on the cards.

While a career in the Premier League might be beyond him already (never the most mobile, more of his acceleration has been shaved off over the last couple of seasons), he did make a favourable impression during a six-month loan spell in the Championship in 2018.

Playing under Tony Pulis must be the most difficult brief for a midfield player, but Mikel managed to emerge with credit, leading Boro to within a point of a promotion play-off place. A similar sort of short-term deal would seem the likeliest avenue.

Ultimately though, it is a decision that might be taken out of his hands altogether.

As the virus over which he has beat a retreat from Turkey spreads, it is increasingly difficult to chart a timeline for the conclusion of the current football season and the resumption of the next. Already, the European Championship has been moved back to 2021, and the resolution modalities for leagues around Europe remain unclear. Mikel turns 33 in April, and has stated previously he is not interested in playing far into his dotage.

As it happens, the coronavirus may have put an end, not only to Mikel’s stay in the Super Lig, but also his active football career.

Meanwhile a Trabzonspor fan who insulted Mikel on his Baby Mama's IG was clinically and philosophically put in his place:

Hahaha, and you're the expert on ALL THINGS having to do with stupidity. I applaud you for following in your father's footsteps and keeping the family tradition of imbecility alive.

Please save that grain of sand in your head for more befitting duties like licking your fullanus slave master's nysah and stop trying to rub shoulders with your intellectual superiors.

bkool7:
You must be a certified fool.

So I should believe you - a scornful lowlife-Ipob-propagandist terrorist over an agency that has boots on ground at the site?
You need to have ur head examined by Shekau

Gas cylinders are designed to withstand all kinds of pressures both internal and external. A truck hitting a few gas cylinders will not produce the kind of explosion that happened. Only an idiot, and I can only presume I'm talking to one, will believe such nonsense.

bkool7:
Keep exposing ur crass intelligence

Amotékun couldn't have happened sooner enough.

She's a notorious gold digger.

centboy123456:
why did you say so can you tell me

This olodo doesn't know that there are gas pipelines in Lagos.

bkool7:
It was a gas explosion not pipeline

The Landlord Association of the area and even emergency response crews all attested that there was no pipeline vandalism before the explosion.

If there was no vandalism or tampering, then how did the pipe develop a leak? Did it develop a leak on its own!

And why were 3 Churches amongst the buildings destroyed?

The South is already miles ahead developmentally, if being developed means posting pretty pictures of nice public infrastructure, I could spend all week showing off the nice places I have seen in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Lagos, Awka, even Ibadan etc.

The South would have been even further ahead if not for the misfortune of finding itself in the same country as the North because of the bastardised fake federal system this country operates.

Angelfrost:
You are deflecting, as predicted...

I wasn't trying to pass a vote of confidence on the North (have criticized them one time too many)...

The question stands unanswered (or dodged yet again)!

Let me repeat... What exactly is keeping the south from being miles ahead developmentally??!

So the North with high infant mortality rate, highest number of children out of school, the highest number of beggars, the highest poverty rates, rampant insurgency, hunger, destitution and ignorance are the leaders in human development index?

Some kinds of ignorance aren't worth arguing with.

Angelfrost:
Still doesn't answer the question... What are the Southern governors doing with their own monthly allocations??!... No good roads, poor water supply, poor or dilapidated amenities, insecurity, poor industrialization, etc....

You talk about the North leeching off the South... Okay na... Will the South do any better if they had all their resources to themselves??! Honestly now, will they lay aside their corrupt ways and deliver dividends??!...

Take a look at Lagos, Ogun, Delta, IMO, etc, with so much revenues and federal allocations, yet still mediocre in every facet of human and capital development...

The Good Book categorically and unequivocally states: "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." (Luke 16:10).

VIDEO SHOWS SMILING MEDICAL WORKERS IN WUHAN TAKING OFF MASKS AS CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK SLOWS

A new video shows medical workers in Wuhan, China, taking off their protective face masks and smiling as the outbreak of the novel coronavirus slows in the city.

The video was posted to Twitter by The Telegraph shows a number of medical workers standing on steps, taking off their masks, smiling and waving. The novel coronavirus originated in Wuhan, but the city has seen a decrease in cases over the past few days.

This video comes just days after the Chinese news agency, Xinhua, reported that the last two of the 16 temporary hospitals in Wuhan shut down due to a decrease in cases. "The final batch of 49 patients walked out of the Wuchang temporary hospital at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday," the news agency wrote.

According to a March 12 report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, has seen only eight new cases in the past 24 hours, compared to a March 1 report which showed 570 confirmed cases in just one day.

According to Xinhua, the temporary hospitals helped at least 13,000 patients recover from the coronavirus. In the Hubei province, over 51,553 of the 67,786 reported cases have recovered from the virus, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins. In the province, 3,062 people have died.

Following the closing of the temporary hospitals, a number of other videos were posted to Twitter, showing medical workers in the region celebrating the decline in cases.

People's Daily, a newspaper in China, posted a video of the patients thanking the medical workers as they were able to leave the hospitals after recovering from the virus.

"Time to say goodbye! All #COVID-19 patients in the Hubei Provincial Hospitals of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine have left the hospital and the wards closed after 45 days of care by the Guangdong medics sent to support #Wuhan," the newspaper wrote on Twitter.

"Medical teams from other provinces bid farewell to the makeshift hospital in #Wuhan where they have worked for over a months," a reporter from Xinhau, Xu Zeyu wrote on his Twitter.

"A nurse of ethnic minority from island province Hainan rejoices and dances as a makeshift hospital in #Wuhan closes. All patients in this hospital are discharged today," Zeyu posted with another video.

"China has passed peak of #COVID-19. All temporary hospitals in #Wuhan closed, life is back on track. Salute to these brave people. Now we're reciprocally sending medical experts, materials & sharing experience to others since you helped us a lot when we suffered then. Thank you!" Twitter user Shin Shiwei wrote.

Arrewa:
The development is now hitting everywhere in the north!!

Gossip column material.

Your moniker is like a prophecy on your destiny.

BeLookingIDIOT:
All their so-called miserable deaths most likely did not occur.The pagan Roman empire largely tolerated xtianity.The main persecution of christains occured under a tyrannical Roman emperor,whom no one liked,in retaliation after xtians likely burnt down an entire city.
Compare that to what xtians did to the pagans after they took control of the Roman empire,and what they did to themselves afterwards.

The real letter from Satan was written in Arabic 1400 years ago. This one is a hoax.

Commendable and admirable. But most of our traffic problems could be solved by installation and maintenance of traffic lights and the use of traffic cops and mobile courts to hand out on the spot justice to violators.

It's actually a war between fvck Bois/yahoo boys and oloshos.

All these flashy, superficial "achievements" would immediately fall into disrepair when these people eventually have to be on their own.


The fact still remains that were it not for the South generating 90% of this country's income you guys would remain as wretched and impoverished as your primitive lifestyles have destined you to be.

dominique:
Most of these structures were constructed by the governors of the states using the same allocation granted to all governors nationwide. What is your governor doing with his own allocation?

Clearly whoever wrote this nonsense has no idea what it means to keep a low profile.
