Mikel Obi Alleges 2013 AFCON Land Grant Still Undelivered
Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel says he never received the “massive plot of land” promised by the government after Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory. Speaking on a podcast with former England international Peter Crouch, Mikel recalled the team’s grand reception but revealed that his land award never materialised. He also criticised long-serving football administrators for holding onto power, mismanaging funds and stalling the sport’s progress. Mikel confirmed he has declined offers to return, insisting he won’t work with officials who lack a genuine commitment to improving Nigerian football.
