Mikel Committe’s To Chelsea

CHELSEA midfielder: John Mikel Obi has revealed that he intends to remain at Chelsea until further notice.

While speaking in Lagos, he admitted that clinching the Champions League title is the greatest thing that has happened to his carrier. The Nigeria International said he wants to enjoy the victory while it lasts.

“Who will want to leave a team that just won the Champions League? I will definitely want to stay a little more at Chelsea. Nigeria is my home but Chelsea is my second home,” he said.

On the Super Eagles, the former Lyn Oslo of Norway player said he was looking forward to returning to the fold of the national team, as he commended the team for clinching the three points at stake against Namibia last Sunday.

“People, who misunderstood me in the past, had felt I was not committed to the national team.

Most people believe I am not a patriotic footballer, but that is not the case. It is always an honour to play for my country.

That I was not called for the last game does not mean anything. My being there may not have changed anything. I have played games for Nigeria where we lost, so it is not about Mikel but the success of the team.

“I will be glad to play for Nigeria any time I am called. This country made me, so why should I turn my back when my services are needed,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mikel Obi has told Reporters that he intends setting up a foundation which will be launched at the Civic Centre, Lagos on Friday, June 8.

The foundation is a gesture of Mikel obi to give back to the society. Obi stated that the foundation will bring succour to the homeless and displaced people across the nation.

“I want to give back to the society, Nigeria made me and I have always long to help the poor especially the Alimajaris. I grew up in Jos and I have seen these people beg for food. I want them to share in my success and I think this is the right time to help out.

While growing up, I saw these people come to beg for food. My mum use to call them over to give them food.

All these have inspired me and I said I would help them if I achieve success in life, it is a goal I want to achieve. These people love football, which I know because I live very close to the stadium.

It is not a short term project; it is a long term thing. I will set up a financial strategy to ensure the success of this foundation. Ex internationals that are in penury are going to benefit from this project.

Fine talk big bros. People always say you are not patriotic  and humble.But your statement here  counteract their statements. Anyway remain humble and patriotic so that you can go far in  your career. Chelsea is growing rapidly so being a Chelsea fan, i like your opinion to stay unstill the time will come for you to move to another competitive club.
