Nigeria and Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi
has a secret son and daughter by two different women living in the UK,
claimed reports in Mailonline and the Sun on Sunday.
The player who is out of this weekend
clash between Nigeria and Tanzania is reported to have a one year-old
daughter and a four-year-old son after short relationships with the two
women. And the Nigeria international, who earns about £80,000 a week at
Chelsea, is said to be providing for the two children.
According to the Sun on Sunday, Mikel,
who lives in Oxshott, Surrey, bought a £500,000 detached property in the
Home Counties for his son and the boy’s mother. His daughter and the
girl’s 23-year-old mother are said to live in the South of England – but
the two women reportedly do not know about each other.
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 doesn’t
harbour any bad feelings towards him, perhaps because he’s looked after
her so well.”
Mikel is said to have met his daughter’s mother at a nightclub in 2013. She reportedly gave birth last year.
The newspaper quoted a friend of the girl’s mother as saying that Mikel has ‘provided’ for the woman and their child.
The friend said, “She is not from a
well-off family and does not now 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 is currently in a relationship with Russian businesswoman Olga Diyachenko.
A spokesman for the footballer is quoted
by the London-based paper 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 PUNCH attempt to speak with a very
close associate of Mikel who is also based in London failed. Our
correspondent left voice messages when he did not answer but he has yet
to respond to the messages. He did not reply the text also sent to him
on Sunday.
Mikel has been left out of the Super
Eagles next match billed for Saturday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Nigeria manager Sunday Oliseh said that he left out the midfielder from
the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match because he could not reach
him despite several attempts made about that.
Mikel, who is one of the best paid
Nigerians, had been linked in the past to several ladies in Nigeria but
he denied any relationship with them. The nationalities of the two
ladies in these latest reports were not revealed.
Hehe some people are just meant for each other. We pray
their love lasts.
Lol, after mirror.co.uk early hours of yesterday revealed
Mikel Obi’s two secret children, his current girlfriend Olga Diyachenko has
pretended not to be bothered about the revelation or acted she didn’t read it
and instead posted a photo of them going out for dinner. She didn’t show their
faces, but showed Mikel’s hand in the photo (far right) and ofcus captioned the
photo with a love message and her usual pooh1 pooh2 ( a name she calls herself
(pooh1) and pooh2 referring to Mikel).
