Wow this is lovely I’m still Nigeria’s most successful, decorated footballer – Mikel Obi Chelsea and Super Eagles legend, John Mikel Obi has bragged that he is “still the most successful and decorated football player in Nigeria”. He said despite all his achievements he was never ranked number 8 in the world by the Ballon d’Or like Nigerian youngster, Victor Osimhen. Speaking in the latest episode of his podcast, The Obi One, which had Osimhen as a guest, Mikel said the Napoli striker has raised the bar high for Nigerian footballers. He said, “I am still the most successful and decorated football player in Nigeria. But he [Victor Osimhen] got an award that I never got. He was ranked number 8 in the world by Ballon d’Or. That’s absolutely amazing. I must say congratulations. The season you had, it was fantastic and I never got to that stage. You’ve raised the bar so high.” Responding, Osimhen reckoned that Mikel “is more than a legend” to many Nigerian footballers, adding that the former Super Eagles captain inspired him and others on and off the pitch. On his Ballon d’Or success, the Napoli striker said “I just kept on doing my job, doing what I love so much and God just crowned my efforts.” https://dailypost.ng/2023/11/13/im-still-nigerias-most-successful-decorated-footballer-mikel-obi/ 37 Likes 2 Shares

Wow I celebrate God’s Grace over Mikel Obi’s life and family Fans clash over who most successful Nigerian footballer is between Mikel Obi and Kanu Nwankwo Football fans are going back and forth over who the most successful Nigerian player is. This follows comments made by former Super Eagles skipper, John Mikel Obi. Speaking in a podcast, Mikel Obi claimed that he is “still the most successful and decorated football player in Nigeria.” He said, “I am still the most successful and decorated football player in Nigeria. But he [Victor Osimhen] got an award that I never got. He was ranked number 8 in the world by Ballon d’Or. That’s absolutely amazing. I must say congratulations. The season you had, it was fantastic and I never got to that stage. You’ve raised the bar so high.” However, on social media, fans have mentioned former Arsenal, Inter Milan and Ajax forward Kanu Nwankwo as more successful and decorated. @deejayfaremi wrote: “It’s not a debate who’s the most decorated player…it’s obviously Kanu. “Kanu had 14 club trophies (including the UCL & Europa League) + 3 for the national team (all levels). Two African Player Of The Year awards too. “Mikel had 11 club trophies (UCL & Europa League) + 1 for the national team. His biggest individual achievement was second in African POTY. “What’s the debate?” @almightywallace: On paper, not the streets. Kanu and Okocha will always have the streets. @Tamilore_D: Find it interesting that this was the quote that was chosen from the interview considering that most of it was him shedding light on the impact that Victor Osimhen has made by being ranked 8th in the Ballon d’Or list. @OlisaOsega: Successful? I don’t know but he’s definitely the most decorated Nigerian footballer ever. https://www.kemifilani.ng/sport/fans-clash-over-who-most-successful-nigerian-footballer-is-between-mikel-obi-and-kanu-nwankwo/ 14 Likes 2 Shares

Also the only player who grew up in Nigeria precisely Jos and could easily switch from Nigeria to British accent unlike Kanu Nwankwo, JayJay Okocha and Garba Lawal whose Owerri, Enugu and Sokoto Igbo and Hausa phonetics interference increased by 70% after spending 20 years across Europe 93 Likes 8 Shares |
