Happy Birthday, Mikel Obi! From dazzling us at Lyn to bossing Chelsea's midfield since 2006, you've always been the calm in football's storm. Who else could make holding midfield look as effortless as sipping tea on a Sunday afternoon? Your Champions League triumph in 2012 and Europa League glory in 2013 remain legendary—proving that even defensive maestros can steal the spotlight.And let's not forget your incredible journey with Nigeria’s Super Eagles since 2006. You've tackled opponents gracefully, captained your nation proudly, and inspired countless young Nigerians dreaming of football greatness. Cheers to you, Mikel—forever our midfield magician!
