Mikel Obi And Onazi Beef Divides Super Eagles

There are reports of a rift in the Super Eagles camp especially between the team captain John Obi Mikel and his assistant Ogenyi Onazi. Both players are said to be at loggerheads and are reportedly not talking to each other. This has caused a major distraction among other players in camp.

“If we must do well in Russia, the NFF must ensure they resolve the wrangling between Mikel and Onazi. Both players I can confirm are not in talking terms and this could cost the team at the World Cup.

“As we speak, the tussle is a big distraction for the team. Some players have also pitched their tents with either Mikel or Onazi in the struggle.

“Though, the reason for tussle is not known yet but some people felt it was due Onazi’s insistence on not taking orders from Mikel,” the source revealed.

Onazi was listed for action as the Super Eagles suffered a one nil loss to Czech Republic Wednesday.

The three-time African champions have now lost two friendlies consecutively in their buildup ahead of the World Cup. They lost 2-1 to England at the Wembley stadium in London and one nil to Czech Republic in Australia.

Efforts to confirm the development proved abortive as the Super Eagles’ media officer failed to reply his WhatsApp message at press time.
