As a player, he was known for
his powerful shots and abilities in the air. Oliha retired at the age of 27, as a. result of a serious knee injury.
One of the wishes of Oliha
before his death was for the
federal government to fulfil the promise of a house General Sani Abacha promised the Super Eagles for winning the Tunisia 1994. Nations Cup.
Sadly, he did not see that come true in his life time.
Oliha becomes the third player to die among the much
celebrated Nigeria 1994 squad, joining Uche Okafor and Rashidi Yekini in the great
beyond.
