Dimeji Lawal says he is amazed by some of the criticism Nigeria captain Mikel Obi has faced as Chelsea manager Antonio Conte continues to overlook him. http://punchng.com/playing-nigeria-cost-mikel-chelsea-place-dimeji/ 30 Likes 4 Shares

This goes to show how patriotic Mikel is to his father by risking his shirt for Nigeria even when Conte tried to deter him from going to represent Nigeria in the Olympics by praising him, he still maintained his patriotism, unlike Moses that claims that he wants to satisfy his manager and retain his place at the expense of circumventing national call ups by feigning injuries. It is a pity that same Nigerians are the ones ridiculing him instead of supporting him. We saw how he impressed against Zambia and he has also stated that he will like to represent Nigeria in the next Olympics. This depicts his level of commitment to serving his father land. 155 Likes 11 Shares |

Mikel earned my respect for contributing financially and physically to help Nigeria win her third Olympic medal in football. He deserves all the accolades for his sportsmanship and dedication to the country. Like every other managers that has come and gone in Chelsea, John Obi Mikel always end up playing his role when the chips are down. Conte won't be an exception. Nemanja and Kante can't play consistently throughout the season which means Mikel's time would come. His calmness and obedience has always earned him a place in the Chelsea team. This will continue for as long as he's at Chelsea. Baba Ibeji, no worry, your time to play regularly this season go come. 131 Likes 8 Shares |

Mikel's playing days with Chelsea ended a long time ago, it's unfortunate that he's just realizing it. Turkey is the next destination 7 Likes |

The season is still fresh. There are so many factors in Mikel's favour. So, he shouldnt panic or get shaken by criticisms. 9 Likes |

Shut up! Like seriously when did this man start watching football? Why hasn't playing for the national team cost other top players around the world their club's place? Mikel is just average in terms of capabilities and skill and that's the truth, he isn't exceptional, no exceptional player is ousted from his club because of his national team duties. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Rubbish! Mikel's benching has nothing to do with playing for Nigeria, he is simply not good enough to bench Kante or Matic! 5 Likes |

I'm sure Mikel is aware of how petty Nigerian football supporters are. I doubt that he's bothered, he's always given his best and went above and beyond during the Olympics. 8 Likes |
