CHANGE OF NAME: Mikel Obi Officially Changes His Name

Just like the Mosquitoes would want to change its name to Bitesquitoes, Mikel Obi, as we formally called him, has decided he wants a change of name. See what he wants to be called:

The Nigerian football star has officially changed his name. The Chelsea midfielder was born John Michael Nchekwube Obinna but had to bear ‘Mikel’ when the Nigerian Football Association mistakenly used ‘Mikel’ instead of Michael on his submission form for the 2003 FIFA Under-17 World Championships.

However, here is the plot twist.

He has been known as ‘John Obi Mikel’ since he joined Chelsea in 2006; henceforth he wants to be called ‘Mikel John Obi’.
