The Super Eagles of Nigeria now have a new team captain.

Ahmed Musa announced John Obi Mikel as the new captain at a Pre-game Press Conference.

Musa was made captain by former Coach of the team, Sunday Oliseh, following a row between him and the former captain, Vincent Enyeama. He however conceded because he believes that Mikel is his senior and should be the next Senior National Team Captain.

Interesting development indeed

....................................

John Mikel Obi finally set to "officially" lead the Super Eagles in a competitive fixture.

Wow! Awesome. It's not the first time he'll be wearing the arm-band.

He did so in a friendly against Messi's Argentina in
Asia (bangladesh I think?) which Nigeria lost by 3-1 in a 2-legged friendly series which saw the first leg end 4-1 in favor of Nigeria's Super Eagles (the Guiness cup friendly match).

I'm 100% certain Samson Siasia had a big hand in
straightening the captaincy issue out. He must be
applauded and Musa commended for acknowledging "seniority" and "Class".

Mikel leading out the Super Eagles tomorrow
officially in his first competitive fixture as Captain will be a huge sight to behold.

He's feared and well respected by teams all over
Africa and around the world. Mikel commands the
fear factor and the super class and pedigree to strike fear in opponents as Super Eagles new captain.

Siasia has handled this very well indeed. This is partly where Oliseh missed it. It's like the biblical scenario where Jacob cursed reuben only generations to pass before a great prophet named Moses took the curse away.

Well, with this "skipper issue" now corrected and
placed right.... Let's hope this augurs well tomorrow
for the Super Eagles and even beyond the afcon
qualifiers.

Is he the one to announce that? Its the work of the coach to do that. Anyway he deserves that as the oldest player in the team

A very wonderful development. Our Super eagles are now getting more mature. This will go a long way to determine their success this year cos a house that divides against itself will surely fall.

Wish them better days ahead.

As for you Ahmed Musa, go to mama Nkechi joint and take 2 bor of any bor that is ur brand i'll pay her no worry.
