"He was very humble to sit on the bench. We have people like Michael Essien, Ballack, Frank Lampard."
He went further to allege that:
"This Mikel doesn't behave like he comes from a country with culture and respect for elders. The words he used were very disrespectful. I always see Mikel as someone the EFCC should arrest and ask him what his problem is or name those who offended him."
Nigerians react to the allegation against Mikel
However, some Nigerians have taken to the comment section of the post and expressed their reaction to the development. Below are some of their reactions:
A user with the handle @Homiebishop said:
"Where is all this Mikel Obi hatred coming from? First, it was Oliseh; now this. People don’t respect the most decorated Nigerian player ever."
Another user, Tonio, commented:
"So, in conclusion, what these niggas are just trying to say is that they have the right to talk about Mikel, but Mikel doesn't have the right to talk about other players."
A Nigeria identified as @yu_wizzy said:
"The same Mikel that chose Olympic over his career at Chelsea and even went ahead to pay players allowance for his pocket! Na wa oo"
Owos Oluwole wrote:
"Stingy don finish him life."

"The guy makes money and helps his family but rejects it when they wanna him to an ATM machine."
