Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has ignited a lively debate among football enthusiasts by declaring John Mikel Obi as the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the ‘Declan Rice’ hitmaker stated, “MIKEL OBI IS THE GREATEST NIGERIAN FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME.”
This proclamation has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans supporting Odumodublvck’s view, while others argue in favor of legends like Nwankwo Kanu, Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha, and Rashidi Yekini.
Mikel Obi’s Illustrious Career:
Club Achievements: During his tenure at Chelsea FC from 2006 to 2017, Mikel amassed an impressive collection of titles, including two Premier League championships, four FA Cups, a UEFA Champions League trophy in 2012, and a UEFA Europa League title in 2013.
International Success: On the international stage, Mikel earned 91 caps for the Nigerian national team between 2005 and 2019, scoring six goals. He played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations triumph—the country’s first in 19 years—and captained the U-23 squad to a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
