Pque:

it's never gd 2 quote or paraphrase stuff anyhow. Why can't we make A looks like A nd B looks like B instead of making A look like G nd B looks like D. When did a "prophet" become a "footballer?" Is Mikel a Prophet? Prophet nd footballer na d same thing? Argentinas does nt like mercy nd maradona abi, portugals don't like Ronaldo abi, England no honour Becham, rooney, terry nd d likes abi.
Support ur fact wth wat actually supports it nd don't knowingly use stuffs dat is out of contest 2 butress ur claim. Am not against Mikel sha, bt make d guy play well make we see d passion bcoss we nid dis cup badly. Say no to CD, Naija all d way!

Asports: More worries for Stephen Keshi,as it has been confirmed that the duo of John Obi Mikel and Fegor Ogude would miss Nigeria’s quarter-finals clash against Ivory Coast on Sunday.

Both Mikel and Ogude, bagged two yellow cards each in the group stages of the 2013 African Nations Cup,which automatically translates to a one match ban.

Mikel on his part did not know that he would miss the clash with Ivory Coast,even boasting of the Super Eagles chances after the 2-0 defeat of Ethiopia.

“Playing against Ivory Coast is going to be both tough and exciting and some of our opponents are my friends, especially Didier Drogba,” Mikel was quoted to have said after the game on Tuesday.

But upon realizing his fate come Sunday,Mikel told KickOffNigeria.com how sad he is,over his unavailability.

“I found out last night and I am so so upset about it,” Mikel said.

“I was really looking forward to helping the team get past this game” the 25-year old added.

Despite his absence,Mikel believes that the players who would replace him, will do the required job to get Nigeria to semi-finals.

“I’m very disappointed to miss the game. But I am confident that the lads can do the job without us.

“We have a good team here and the new players are working very hard. I have tried to take some responsibility and speak to them, motivate them and give them advice.

“I am sure they will do the country proud.”

Players like Sunday Mba,Nosa Igiebor,Obiora Nwankwo Reuben Gabriel are all expected to fight for a place in starting eleven in the absence of both midfielders.

huni_naija: Nigeria should just pack there bags and leave with her pride and dignity intact, i don't see this ending well for the super fowls... Ivory coast go use their necks as boxing match ...

Anyways #TeamElephants

otipoju: Truth is a statement of a fact. I.e an event or condition that has occured. What your preacher has expressed his merely his own opinion. How can men like me from my own country be playing and I will be wishing them bad? And me too I want to progress. Even if they play badly even if they loose I will support the eagles come rain come shine especially when they are playing against bench warmers like Kalou and Eboue.

Ibanga p: Mikel- Motivation- Advice. It doesn't add up. What is he advising dem to do? Play like him? Smh.

pellegrini1989:

i tire oooh...imagine mikel advicing n motivating. Hw is he better than those players on the bench. I believe dat Obiora Nwankwo, i'v bn wishin dat Keshi'll feature him. Bia mikel or wetin b ur name go sit ur fuckin ass down. Inefficient player.

http://allsports.com.ng/2013/01/31/confirmed-mikel-suspended-for-game-with-ivory-coast/ NB The latest news we heard this morning is that he could be available for that game. CAF is expected to clear the air later today.

Pvictor10: u no b patroitic Nigerian. Anyway, u b elephant, remember eagles soar, elephant walk.

Red-Light:
what is this one saying?

50calibre: Irrelevant! Even if they were to play, it wouldn't stop Ivory Coast from winning. Only thing now is that it may decide how wide the goal margin will be. If it was meant to be 2-0, it would now be 4-0

Sike: Thank God for we can now lose in peace.

CFCfan: The only national teams I seriously fear are Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Argentina and Brazil.
Cote D' Ivoire is not too strong.
