Tuesday March 15, 2016

Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has released a new video saying he's withdrawing his suit against the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF. He maintained that some members of NFF have vested interest which is hindering the growth of football in Nigeria. Oliseh attached copies of his statement of account to prove that he was not paid his February salary. What he said and the video after the cut...

“I have instructed my lawyers to withdraw the lawsuit against the NFF. After speaking with well-meaning Nigerians, who I respect a lot, I also believe it is useless joining issues with people who are bent on deceiving Nigerians and misleading Nigerians and diverting attention from the reality. Certain vested interests in the NFF put their own interests first before that of Nigeria. My position of putting Nigeria first was a hindrance to certain vested interests in the NFF. If you put Nigeria first, you will always have problems with the NFF. This also explains why the benefits of players and wages and coaches are always placed secondary, while other things like team building trips will always be catered to first.”he said.
