Nigeria international and Chelsea of England midfielder, Mikel Obi,
not known for scoring goals on the pitch, certainly knows how to fire
the right shots in bed.
The out of favour Chlesea player, reported to be in a strong relationship with a Russian Lady, Olga Diyachenko, according to The Sun on Sunday of London, reported that the Nigerian midfielder has a secret son and daughter from two different women living in the UK The London based publication alleged that Mikel was said to have a four year-old son and a one year-old daughter after short relationships with the two women.
It was reported that the Super Eagles player, who lives in Oxshott, Surrey, bought a £500, 000 (about N153m) detached property in the Home Counties for his son and the boy’s mother, while his daughter and her 23- year -old mother lives in the South of England.
The Sun on Sunday quoted a source as saying Mikel met his son’s mother at a party in London. After she gave birth, the source said, Mikel ‘agreed to give her tens of thousands a year in upkeep’ and ‘agreed to give her a new car every three to five years.’
‘He said he wanted to play a role in the boy’s life. He and the mum are on friendly terms and she didn’t harbour any bad feelings towards him, perhaps because he’s looked after her so well.’ A spokesman for the footballer was quoted by the Sun on Sunday as saying: ‘This is an entirely private matter. John provides for and cares for his children and will continue to do so. He asks that their privacy be respected.’
The newspaper quoted a friend of the girl’s mother as saying that Mikel had ‘provided’ for the woman and their child.
The friend said: ‘She is not from a well-off family and does not earn much, but she drives around in a new car. She seems to have come into money since having the baby and is keeping a low profile.’
Mikel, who has made 64 appearances for his Nigeria, was said to have met his daughter’s mother at a nightclub in 2013.
She reportedly gave birth last year. Mikel is one of Chelsea’s longest-serving players behind John Terry after joining the club from Norwegian side, Lyn Oslo in 2006 but the Nigerian has found first-team opportunities limited this season.
It would be recalled that Mikel Obi is not in good terms with the new Super Eagles Coach Sunday Oliseh who dropped him from the AFCON 2017 qualifiers against Tanzania this weekend.
Oliseh, at a media parley in Abuja had disclosed that he was forced to shut the door against the Chelsea player because he refused to answer both calls and text messages sent to him.
