Mikel Obi kept Nigeria 🇳🇬 ahead of himself yet he is not the President of his country just a captain of the Super Eagles. An example from a Good leader🙌🏾.

Signed for Chelsea instead of Man Utd because the future of 3 other Nigerians depended on it.
Paid bills for the Nigerian Olympic team in 2016.
Played against Argentina even though his dad had been kidnapped.

Mikel was playing with a wrist in cast & a father kidnapped when some people were praying for Argentina to beat Nigeria so that they can win GOAT arguments. It might be in doubt if Messi & Ronaldo are GOAT but not you guys. You are Sokoto Red Bororos.😁😁

Mikel Obi out here showing leadership & responsibility more than any Nigerian political leader alive but it is Babagana Kingibe they will remember to give a national honour for sabotaging the same ticket he ran on. Nigeria is a real tragicomedy.

We don’t respect this guy enough. He was called four hours before #NGA faced #ARG to be told about his father’s abduction. Still played out his heart in that #WorldCup game.
