Michael (“Mike”) Edirin Obiku (born 24 September 1968 in Warri) is a retired Nigerian football striker.

Obiku started his career with Flash Flamingoes in his native Nigeria and earned a move to highfliers Iwuanyanwu Nationale.

After so many years Obiku is still one of the legends of Anorthosis Famagusta FC and he is considered one of the all-time best players who ever played not only for the club but also in Cyprus.
