A man who claims to be Nigerian footballer and Super Eagles‘ captain, Mikel Obi’s cousin @obuaniskela, has called him out over his dad’s stroke which he said the footballer doesn’t care about.
Writing on the comment section of Mikel Obi’s post, @obuaniskela said the reason he is writing is not for money, but that he should show his relatives that he care, even though his dad has been down with the ailment since November 2017. Here’s what Mikel Obi’s cousin wrote;
