Mikel Weeps, Begs Nigerian Football Federation For Snubbing Oliseh

CONTRARY to his public show of
bravado when he shunned Super
Eagles coach and the NFF in London,
Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi has
reached out to officials of the
federation to plead for forgiveness.
According to SportingSun findings,
Mikel called officials of the NFF from
the northern part of the country
where he spoke in Hausa language
appalling to them to plead with coach
Oliseh to forgive him for ignoring his
calls when he visited London to meet
with players like Victor Moses, Carl
Ikeme to crave their commitment to
the cause of the. national team.

According to the source, Mikel called
some NFF officials last week to beg for
forgiveness. He spoke to them in
Hausa, weeping that they should. save
his career by appealing to the coach
to forgive him for shunning his calls.
He said his career was in danger if he
was shut out of the national team
completely. Since he is not playing
regularly for Chelsea he reckons that
his career could be over if he not
invited to the national team” The
decision on whether to invite him on
not rests with Oliseh.

It would be recalled that Mikel has
had running battle with successive
Super Eagles coaches from Samson
Siasia, Stephen Keshi and now Oliseh.
The NFF is said to be divided on
whether he should be invited or left
out of the new-look team.
