Please can someone tell me where his investment is located or all na trash. If you know you know
he opened a transportation company for his father that has more than 20 buses at 5m each , that is 100 , unlike yoruba footballers that will turn their back on their family eg adebayo the mother and sisters were so hungry that they rented one of his house without his knowledge , he quickly came back and locked them up , if this is not witchcraft I wonder what it is

20's and 30's are the years you use to huzzle.

If you are a male in your 20's , you are not thinking of aspiring and you are here asking stupiiid questions and calling obi an old man, I foresee you being a big broke fool even at 40.

And also to my girl friend Funmi, I'm not trying to be romantic, I'm only trying to let the world know that I love you. I really do. Thanks for being there always. Even if life finally happens to us, I'd look back and see our tine together worth it cos you've helped to open my eyes to the fact that some ladies are more than what you're ready to give them. You changed my perspective about ladies.
Your hustling spirit has helped set a standard for me.
I now know what it takes to date an independent lady.

Thanks, sweet. [/quote]

It’s been said that Nigerians are so industrious that they can be found in almost every country in the world. In these countries, they have come to hold quite important roles in their different spheres of lives. Football is definitely not left out in this as several Nigerians have dominated and are still dominating popularly clubs. John Michael Nchekwube Obinna popularly known as Mikel Obi is one of such gifted Nigerian stars.

BIOGRAPHY (AGE)

Mikel was born in Jos, a Middle Belt city of Nigeria on Wednesday, April 22nd, 1987. He had his primary school education at Jos Metropolis Township primary School where he found his passion for kicking balls. At age 12, his skills appealed to scouts and he was selected by the Pepsi football academy, one of the best in Nigeria. His first official team was the Plateau United.

Mikel joined the U-17 team of Nigeria and participated in the FIFA World Championship hosted by Finland. When the names of players were sent by NFA (Nigerian Football Association) to FIFA, Michael’s name was wrongly spelled as Mikel. This led to his accepting the name as his football name. His amazing skills at the tournament saw him joining Lyn Football, a club based in Oslo, Norway. He played on the team for two years (2004- 2006) and made 6 appearances scoring 1 goal.

In 2005, Mikel Obi was chosen on the squad to represent Nigeria in the FIFA World Youth Championship. The team had an excellent run and got to the finals where the lost by 1 goal to the Argentinean team (2-1). Messi, who led Argentine, was made the best player of the tournament while Mikel Obi was placed at second best and made African Player of the year, a crown he retained in 2006.

After a controversy surrounding his move to Manchester United from Lyn, Obi joined Chelsea F.C. in 2006 and obtained a work permit in June. The controversy, which dragged into months, was only resolved when Chelsea offered Man. U. a settlement of £12 million and Lyn £4 million.

Obi’s first outing for Chelsea was in the 2006 UEFA Champions League match with Levski Sofia, a Bulgarian team. In the 11 seasons, he stayed with the London club, the defensive midfielder scored 6 goals in 374 appearances. The club also won nine trophies during the period including the 2011- 2012 UEFA Champions League title and the 2012- 2013 UEFA Europa League title. In 2007 and 2008, he was named Chelsea Young Player of the year.

In January 2017, Mikel moved to Tianjin TEDA, a Chinese club, following Chelsea’s refusal to renew his contract. He has scored 2 goals so far for the club.

John Mikel Obi has continued to play for Nigeria representing them in several friendlies and competitions. These include the 2005 friendly against Libya, the Africa Nations Cup in 2008 & 2013 and the 2016 Olympics (as captain).

FAMILY
Mikel Obi is from Nigeria. His dad, Michael Obi (after whom he is named) is from the Eastern part of Nigeria as well as his mom. They lived in Jos in Plateau state Nigeria and it was there they had Mikel. Michael was a civil servant and upon retirement, runs a transport company. In August 2011 and during the 2018 World Cup, Mr. Michael was kidnapped in Nigeria but released on both occasions. His mom, Irosu Obi is a businesswoman.

Ebere Obi and Patrick Obi are Mikel’s elder and younger brothers respectively. Ebere Obi is with Heartland as a goalkeeper while Patrick popularly called Edgar Obi is a musician with MMM Records.

Mikel has twin daughters, Ava and Mia Obi with his wife/partner, Olga Diyachenko whom he met in 2013. Olga, a Russian businesswoman, gave birth to the girls in September 2015. Mikel reportedly has two other kids with two other women, a 4-year-old daughter, and a 7-year-old son.

The exceptional football player is currently on a season break and is enjoying the time with Olga and his twin daughters. They made a stop in Nigeria where he laid down plans for a football program. They moved on to the Maldives and pictures of them having fun have flooded the net. Mikel hopes to continue his holiday till the resumption of the league in China next year, 2019.

SALARY AND NET WORTH

In Chelsea, John Michael Obi’s weekly basic pay was reportedly about £82,000. He is said to earn even more in Tianjin TEDA F.C., up to a tune of £140,000. He is said to be worth over £30 million.
