Former Super Eagles coach, Adeboye Onigbinde, has said that Nigerians
deserve the insults hauled at them by the "arrogant" Super Eagles coach,
Sunday Oliseh. He said this while reacting to the videos Oliseh posted
over the weekend, where he described his critics 'mad'. Onigbinde said:
"The first issue is about his appointment which he claimed he didn’t beg
to secure, in other words, the NFF begged him. And I begin to ask what
qualities did the NFF see in him and begged to have him lead the Super
Eagles?
I still feel it is a big slap on the country to appoint a Nigerian or a
foreigner who has never handled any club or a big team to handle the
Super Eagles. That is an insult, and now the insult is now being
complicated.
Oliseh is now calling his critics insane. I watched the video and at a
point was shedding tears for Nigerian football but we deserve it. Since
he got this job, he has been going to Europe for treatment, shouldn’t
the NFF have verified his health condition before appointing him. Now he
has the gut to insult everybody. Also talking about his experience,
has he not shown inadequacy in this?
For instance, see the way he handled [Vincent] Enyeama’s case. If Oliseh
was intelligent enough, he could have commiserated with him first on
the loss of his mother and Enyeama would have been worshipping him, but
he wanted to be a boss. Have Nigerians forgotten that the national team
broke down in Mali as a result of gross indiscipline under his
leadership and now that is the kind of person NFF feels is good enough
for the Super Eagles job.
These are the questions we failed to answer before giving him the job
and to some extent, he is right in throwing hot water on the faces of
those who landed him the job. You can imagine a coach coming out a day
to the commencement of the African Nations Championship that his players
are not well fed and all that, what kind of result do you expect from
that kind of coach?
The question now is, will this not affect our chances in future
competitions? Now we are causing more confusion and destroying the team
further. That is in the hands of those managing Nigeria football. I have
made several enemies speaking the truth.
The fact is we have administrative problems bedeviling our football,” he
tells Goal.com while reacting to the insults from Oliseh.
