Fun Of Brazil 2014: John Obi Mikel Tastes The Irony Of Love From Nigerian Fans

by Benson Agoha

Nigeria's world-cup team may have returned home early - much to the distaste of millions of football lovers' after their defeat by the France.

Still, the players got more than N20 million each from the government for surviving the first round.

But one footballer, who clearly drew their anger to himself, was Chelsea's John Obi Mikel, whom they clam, glaringly gave a lackluster performance during last Monday's match.

Funny man `Via_Klint_d_Drunk' wrote a funny piece on the star, providing various definitions of the footballer as follow:

"What is a Mikel?

1. A Magician: He's right in front of you for 90 minutes, but you only get to see him for
30 seconds picking up a yellow card.

2. A Mikel is a Nigerian Ferrari with the engine of a Picanto.

3. A Mikel is anything that has weight, occupies space,
breathes but remains stationary.

4. A Mikel is a confused strolling object that has no focus.

5. It is an SI unit for measuring deceleration, e.g the car decelerated by 2 mikel/ sec. 6. The botanical name of a snail, Mikelis Obilis.

7. Anybody who can pass the ball but can't shoot, cross, head, or be creative. e.g, My grandma is a Mikel.

8. A mikel is that footballer whom Jose Mourinho has removed all the sense of Creativity in him. What does Mikel mean to you?"

But what of a definition from learned minds? Well Klint_d_Drunk wrote:

"A professor was asked and he has this to say:

1. A mikel can be define as a person/object that runs/walks/ hops/ strolls/ jogs/crawl from one side of the
field to the other, eg obi is a mikel.

2. IDIOM: /to be in a mikel with one/: to be tired, lazy, weak, refusing to be active, energetic , or just being lazy with a friend."
