Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi is in Nigeria on holidays with his partner Olga Diyachenko and their two twin daughters Ava and Mia.
Mikel has not been in action for his club Tianjin Teda and missed the later part of the Chinese Super League (CSL) through an injury as they escaped relegation.
The Nigerian captain has also missed the recent Super Eagles games after the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr stated that Mikel is not ready to join up with his teammates as he has missed the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Seychelles, the Mediterranean Knights of Libya and when they sealed the ticket against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
Mikel, his wife, and his kids received a very warm welcome by his family and friends home based in Nigeria.
He took to his official Instagram account to confirm his arrival back home he said, “Family #grandma #gradpa #cousins #Mimi #Ava .”
Olga, however, was more revealing about the trip to Nigeria on her official Instagram account.
She was well received and sprayed money along with getting involved in the traditional dances.
She said, “What an amazing day! Thank you for such a warm welcome to all 26 Obis Next time we’ll bring some moves too, although hard to compete p.s. I was not aware of the spraying tradition #nigeria”
