Sports › Re: John Mikel Obi Better Than Okocha At 19? by maji1: 8:52pm On Jun 28, 2008
I think this is an interesting comparison, both mikel and okocha have tremendous talent. Okocha has impressed for both country and club throughout his illustrious career, and Mikel is looking to take on the role of talismanic figure for the super eagles.

As of when okocha was "19" i think it is plain obvious to all those who have been following football, that he was no where near as Big as Mikel is now. No doubt he was talented, but his game was more flashiness and less substance, so no surprise then that he did'nt capture the attention of The big clubs. Mikel on the other hand at 18 was being chased by the likes of ManUtd and Chelsea!

Okocha had great skills at 19 but lacked vision, which is just beautiful nonsense, he got better with time though after he incorporated composure and team-work to his game and at his best he was undoubtedtly a midfiel maestro. Yet, i dare to say that skill-wise he dose'nt really cast a colossal shadow over mikel.

Mikel shows maturity beyond his years on the field, he dose'nt dazzle much but he has that majic touch that can initiate a counter-attack, he has done it many times, he can also pass the ball with the same pin-point accuracy of the likes of pirlo, riquelme e.t.c and sometimes even at impossible angles like in the WC qualifier against South AF. 

What more?

Mikel can also play defensively as well as centre midfield, so far he has not enjoyed the liberty to roam about and move foward in chelsea, because of the other high profile options. but if u watch him play for the Super Eagles's you will be convinced about how much of a threat he can be.

Lastly i want to say that  I respect okocha alot, i believe he has put a benchmark by which we can measure who wears the no.10 for Nigeria.

day 5: been watching bbn all night on my pc, and it is already highly addictive!!

   The House mates are Fantastic, no quarrels so far; they seem to like and understand each other,  and  i think gideon is probably right when he said that "the audience is going to find it very difficult to decide whom to vote out, come evictions."  but again its only still the first week, there's 12 more to go.

Oh Allah,

Towards the Expanse of thy Pardon
Have we extended our hands in Prayer
We are in urgent need of your mercy.

Oh Most Merciful,

Turn to Our Nation in its Hour of Need
Unify Nigerians, and Bring us all Closer To thee.
All Praise is Due To You Alone,
The Ever Existing, Self- Subsisting,
Watchful Guardian.
