Mikel Obi deletes twitter account after racist abuse; Chelsea calls police

Mikel Obi today deleted his Twitter account after he was racially abused for 'costing' Chelsea victory in the opening match of their Champions League defence against Juventus yesterday Wednesday Sept. 19th.

The match ended 2-2 and Chelsea fans blamed Mikel for giving the ball away just ten minutes before time and also not preventing the equalizing goal. After the end of the game, Chelsea fans racially abused Mikel on his Twitter account @Mikel12Official, prompting the Super Eagles midfielder to delete the account which he set up just a few months back.

Chelsea said they have informed the police after being made aware of the racist Tweets. A statement read:
We've been made aware of racist tweets targeted at Mikel which are totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent. We've informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action."

Really, he just signed up on twitter which day , poor him. I surprise ths guy doesn't know wat been a black person entails in d uk. Na dat country racism start and end o. Most times the unspoken discrimination is more than d spoken one. He needs to develop thick skin o, cos na their way. John Terry that was charged to court 4 racist abuse after everythin was acquitted. Mikel shd brace himself o

Tobe said...

Its actually sad but expected that some fans don't even understand the game...like said earlier he was their best midfielder that night. Juventus were a very strong side and even when Mikel lost the ball, they still had the defence to protect it but they choose only one man to blame. I call it picking the easiest target to blame. Total Rubbish

otobong said...

He shouldn't have deleted it. Racist are everywhere and its normal

Segun Atolagbe said...

Mikel, no mind them jare, na jealousy dey worry them. Just don't let their comments dull your good spirit.

No he wasn't the best midfielder. He was lazy that night. He could have been better

@Anon 11.40 pm..

Are you for real or just being sarcastic? Dude got the worst ranking of everybody on that pitch for both teams on all football sites who analysed the game. Even the substitutes got a better score than he did.. His passing was poor, his recovery rates were poorer and though he apologized, it was a classic case of medicine after death. The entire Chelsea team needs to get off their last season's high horse if they want to achieve anything this season. I am not in support of racism in any guise but i think deleting his Twitter account(which he opened only because he was compelled by the club to do so for an interview to answer fans' questions which held by that medium during pre-season) really shows his emotional maturity but i am not surprised anyway as that is his stock in trade... By the way, i am a confirmed True Blue and not a Roman Army which most Nigerians are. If you do not know who or what the Roman Army is, you just proved my point exactly....

Linda, have fun while in London and try make time to see the home game against Stoke on the morrow...

samuel said...

I disagree with you on that,the team had a bad second half because the midfeild couldn't hold the ball; Mikel particularlly gave the ball away too easily on numerous occasions. However, that is not a justification for singling out a player cos he is black!

First of all the whole idea of twitter is an oxymoron and secondly, its pathetic how Nigerians are fanatical about the English premiership and can't be bothered to develop or support their own local league, one idiot even says he's a confirmed true blue.lol I think the imperialists achieved and maintain a great lock on the colony. Why won't racism exist when you have no pride...

I dislike chelsea fans. They're very sore losers, cantankerous, loud & fickle. They're the same all over. Here in nigeria, most of them aren't schooled. Studies have shown that when 5 okada men are arguing, just know its about chelsea :)

Anon9:36am..You are a crazy bigot. What has being Ibo got to do with Mikel stupid performance that night? Mikel is an average footballer who is too cautious and not adventurous. A footballer who scored last for Chelsea in 2006!! Even Ivanovic, A. Cole, Terry and other defenders scores. Football is about scoring, not just defending. Have you seen Mikel in opponents box 18 before? Has any team bidded for him for the past years. Maggot, answer NOW!!!
Yeye Ibo boy who stay in Lagos and comes from one tiny erosion ravaged

Anonymous said...

This is not the first time Mikel making another mistake. Against Liverpool, was the contributor of the defeat.Honest speaking, he plays well but lacks proper communication. He needs to concentrate how he gives some passes. Otherwise, people will continue to blame him and will loose the focus.

Anonymous said...

I don't do football but there is no reason whatsoever for a racist comment. They were many other things to be said. Most of u that are saying twas gud 4 him, I want to believe u've never been constantly faced with the pain of racism. And true Chelsea fans are sore loosers.

Why am i not surprised?
