So what do you want us to do now, to hate Conteh back?, explain please

KingKingKing:
Mikel the worst midfielder to ever play for the National team.


We lost that World cup game against France in 2014 because onazi got injured and Mikel who was to man the midfield was woeful.

Odẹ ni e...meaning you are a fool.

Mikel won you African nations cup controlling the midfield with inexperienced players and homebased players.
African cup of nations Nigeria couldn't win for a good 20 years of trial and failure even when Okocha was still in the team......You are a fool I swear and many senseless Nigerians like u who belittle Mikels achievement in super eagles...Make una go win nations cup now make we see..Ode

Who Mikel wan bench for Chelsea midfield that time?

Shey na Kante abi Matic abi Fabregas??

Baba just shut up abeg

He didn't complain about not starting, he complained about not being in the squad at all. Keep your negativity aside and just reason.

ThumbzTNA:
Mikel Obi is a more patriotic Nigerian than all our politicians. He sacrificed his career in Chelsea for Nigeria. How many Nigerian politicians can sacrifice even their hair for this country?

Tiri gbosa for him

Only tiro gbosa?
Wetin he gain again?

He got fired. Las las.

And what has Nigeria done for you? Only to insult your tribe all the time, that's the reward you get when you don't listen to wise advice of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Tell me how many who had worked for Nigeria without going back with shame.

Oga Mikel will fit into that team very well. Aside Fabregas, non of them is as creative as Mikel back den.

The conte guy is mean and wicked, if Mikel did go to Olympic, would he have gotten bronze medal, upon his royalty to the club.

tried calling not going i have let's talk

Always annoying when people who have not achieved any success in life talk ill of someone who has achieved almost everything in his chosen career and who is rich enough to sustain his family till death if he choses not to work again. A player that won Champions league, African cup of nations and many titles in top flight football is being tagged the worst midfielder that ever played for the National team.

When you can show the world what you have done with your life, you have the right to bash Mikel. Until then, please respect the most decorated Nigerian player in recent time.

I understand his side of the story but don't believe him totally. By 2016 Mikel was already turning to a pensioner at Chelsea and needed the Olympics to boost his profile in the market in order for him to make a bigger move when compared to his pensioner qualities. During his most strongest time as a player during morinho tenure in 2008 Olympics the young man choose Chelsea instead of playing for Nigeria at the Olympics because he was almost seeing every match as at then. The summary of the whole story is that Mikel was no longer a force to reckon with by 2016 at Chelsea football club and that escuse to me is a lame one

free those guys.
Mikel is one of the greatest player Nigeria ever produced,,,forget all okocha dem gragra!!

Mikel Obi had missed the chance of his life 8 years earlier by refusing Samson Siasia's invitation to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Himself and Enyeama would have made a remarkable difference and the Nigerian team could have won gold instead of the silver they eventually won.

Akakanfirstclass:
mehnnnn...

is this Racist or Olympics ?...

working with a team in which the boss is always antagonistic towards you is the biggest vibe killer... no matter how hard you try, you will never be good enough..
it is better he left..

hate or no hate..
still naija to the world

If it was a racist move nko?

What stops you Niggers from managing your league properly?

If you want your players to represent you without issues like these develop yours.

Moreover the Olympics is supposed to be a U-23 competition.

I can understand why a coach wouldn't want his 30+ player to be there instead of helping his employers gain points in the premiership.

Did siasia invite enyeama too then?

Yes, both of them declined however.

Tiri gbosa for him

Story....he did that at his twilight of his career ...y didn't he join the team in 2008, when his career was still young and vibrant... mikel was very arrogant when his career was still hot... 2016, his career was heading out top flight

Virus99:
Mikel Obi deserve a fanfare when he retired from the Super Eagle.

But here, we don't respect nor remember our heroes.

Where's Rashidi Yekini today

A fellow Nigerian was on another thread rubbishing Okocha. In fact, he said Okocha had zero accomplishments. Hahaha... Imagine Okocha who won gold at Olympics 1996, won the league with PSG in 1998 and and both African nations cup and Afro-Asian Nations cup, then some Nigerian says Okocha was useless.

So you are correct; many times Nigerians disrespect their own.

Mike won everything with Chelsea and he held his place many times against the best of midfielders all through his prime. Yet on this thread you find Nigerians saying he was useless.
