While he spends most of his time on bench at the Stamford Bridge, it appears Nigerian midfielder, John Mikel Obi still has a lot of game in him.
The 28-year-old who recently welcomed a set of twins with his Russian girlfriend gave an impressive performance in Nigeria’s friendly matches against DR Congo and another superb display against the just concluded game against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon which has made him a trending topic on Twitter.
Here are some of what the people are saying…
Congratulations to the SE for that impressive performance. Mikel was particularly impressive.Hope they can give a better game against Egypt

Rabiu Ibrahim can’t even fill Mikel’s Boot when he’s in d spirit to play…nd we hoping he is d next Jay Jay Dude is Sooo not ready — ABU-FATAH (@Tweetcubey) October 11, 2015
Best I have seen Mikel play in a while. His skill set is better suited to playing further forward than he does for his club

Not sure how to rate Sylvester Igbohun’s game as Mikel Obi pretty much did all the work and made it really easy for the midfield. — radioactivist. (@debolaadebanjo) October 11, 2015

Mikel has dominated Mbia in midfield for most of this game. He has kept things ticking over for Nigeria. If only his shooting was better — Colin NOT Collins (@ColinUdoh)October 11, 2015

Bros Mikel did absolute well today n crowned it with an assist — henry_Iyke (@lord_henryiyke) October 11, 2015
Apparently Mikel was flawless today for Nigeria while getting two assists in the process. No one believes me that this guy is dynamite.

Mikel was really impressive today tho, showed glimpses of the original Mikel, not the bus driver in Chelsea

I wish Odion Ighalo started the match. Emenike with his head like Zuma rock just kept falling like a pack of cards. Mikel was amazing too. — Q (@Itz_Quincy) October 11, 2015
