Nigerian midfielder Ogochukwu Franklin Onyeka, popularly known as Frank Onyeka, is celebrating his 28th birthday today, January 1, 2026. The Super Eagles star was born on January 1, 1998, and currently plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League side Brentford and the Nigeria national team.
Fondly called "Frank the Tank" due to his relentless energy, strength, and ball-winning ability in midfield, Onyeka has become an important figure for both club and country. His work rate and tactical discipline have earned him consistent selections in Nigeria's midfield setup.
Onyeka is presently part of the Super Eagles squad at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco , where Nigeria have already qualified for the Round of 16 after completing the group stage with a perfect nine points from three matches.
