Key Players come and Go..


Leadership you say! Did Enyeama show any leadership when he challenged his Boss in front of the entire team?! Or is it a one way street where you come from?

Oliseh is the Team Manager/Boss.. His decision is FINAL.

Enyeama either falls in line or leaves.

Nuff said.

Enyeama has been conducting himself with restraint despite attempts being made to rubbish him.

We are all human. There is a point where people snap. The young man could no longer take the blatant attempt to humiliate him.

The practice for appointing a new captain is to carry the old one along. That is commonsense!
If you were Enyeama how would you feel/react if your national team coach chose the period of your bereavement to disparage you and even set your co-players against you?

The captaincy is not Enyeama's birthright but a person of Oliseh's stature in the game should have known better.

what u guys don't notice is that Enyeama has fought every coach Nigeria hired, it's either he start a campaign against something or fight d coach.. He try things he can't do @ his club, tryin to form the big brother.. Enyeama can go if he wants, he has always wanted to leave b4 now, I'm sure he plans to disorder d team b4 leaving.

Wiseonetemmy:
Please guys the reason the nigerian football is in shambles in the first place is indiscipline. Do not blame oliseh for the actions he took, it must have been an issue that has been brewing for sometime now. He wouldn't just do that to enyeama if this is his first time for him coming late to camp. As a captain, u should lead by example.

The issue is not about lateness to camp or the captain issue, the issue is about the over reaction of Oliseh that made him call for security to eject Enyeama, which was a mark of an inexperienced coach who has never coached any soccer team of high standard before.

Oliseh thought he was in supersports studio, do you know Oliseh is still writing his usual column on supersports website, some of raised this on the supersports website where we said he should try and concentrate fully on his job instead of continuing his media consultant job.

Oliseh is not fully focused, the signs are there and even some of his close associates are beginning to raise concerns

maestroferddi:
Your score for Leadership 101 must F9.

A coach should be a man manager, instructor, motivator and leader all rolled into one.

What, in a nutshell, is leadership?
Simple: Getting things done through people.

Is Oliseh acting like a leader here by trifling with one of his key players?

You're the person with a very big F9 in Leadership 101, I've led teams for two years now and I won't hesitate to kick you off my team. Now, if you think what I just said is rubbish, please read Sir Alex Ferguson's last two books. Once you're done let's have this conversation again.

If that's hard for you, check out this link

Let me end with this quote from his latest book "Leading"


“People will give a
manager plenty of opportunities to crack the whip so it's
best to pick and choose your moments.

“You don't have to dish out a punishment very often before
everyone gets the message. I place discipline above all else
and it might have cost us several titles.

“But if I had to repeat things I'd do it precisely the same
because discipline has to come before anything else.”

Eyeama shld not be treated like this. The coach shld know that psychologically its not d best for d player to play. if for d love of d beautiful game d player still reported to camp,d coach shld be encouraged him

The whole thing was staged!

NFA which is now headed by the "Cattle rearing" tribe called Oliseh and said...

NFA: Kai...oliseh, now we have affointed you as coach, make sure that you make Ahmed Musa the Caftain and demote that useless nyamiri boy called Enyeama or you lose the job...is that clear?

Oliseh: Yes Sir!

NFA: Ehhhh...you dey madt? you porgot to add something else!

Oliseh: Oh...Sorry sirs...Sai Buhari, Sai Baba!

NFA: Bery Good!

anishe:
This Sunday Oliseh is a slowpoke. Somebody came to camp and you are forming the Boss, what were you known for during your playing days?

Yeye Coach.

You prolly didn't watch Oliseh in his playing days, Nigeria is still struggling to replace Oliseh in midfield till this day. For a man who played for Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, he was an exceptional talent bro.

there is something I have noticed about football players turned coach - they will never tolerate the same nonsense they exhibited in their playing days from any of their players after becoming coach.

Too many sources....

Philipsdael:

Hahahaha was that a joke or you actually meant it! ..
hahahaha that's sexy.... *Draws her closer.

*she moves back* Lol said i dnt knw shii bout football.but its possible aint it? Cept its contracted

sweatlana:
Oliseh was wrong. This guy just buried his mother for crying out load!

The goes beyond Eneama buring his mum. Both Eneama and Oliseh are arrogant pricks. This is nothing more than clash of ego. E

jnrbayano:
If what I did read is true, Oliseh should grow up.



Is Keshi Oliseh's nickname?

Good question

What nonsense did Oliseh exhibit?

#BringOutEnyeama


My one and only keeper!

I wonder why they made this Oliseh guy the Coach. I remembered that he was sacked as a footballer by the then Coach I cant remember his name who later died in a plane crash. He is too arrogant and pompous, cant he understand that this guy (Enyama) just buried his mum?, so why all this. Coach pls take am easy ooo

Both Enyeama and Oliseh were wrong at some point.

Enyeama was excused and allowed to come to camp a day later than others. He arrived on tuesday but did not join the team to train.

The coach is under pressure to deliver and his next friendly match is on Thursday. With the state of mind of Enyeama and his lack of training with the team would it be wise for the coach to take a gamble and field him?

According to complete sports the coach was meeting with the players who trained and was addressing them when he said Musa still remains my captain he was rudely interrupted by Enyeama the coach asked him to excuse the meeting and he didn't but kept insisting that he must have his say.

The coach then called security to escort him out.

Enyeama could have exercised a little patience and hear the coach out first before challenging him. No Coach will tolerate his player to insult him in front of other players and do nothing.

Oliseh on the other hand over reacted by calling security to escort Enyeama's out.

my 2cents.

prelinctus:
It's high time those players worked with a disciplinarian. They've been taking the job too unseriously. How I wish this happened to Mikel Slowbi.

Twill have been better you shut up!
Enyeama has the right to be heard. As a leader, you don't shut people down.

strawb:
I don't know when their bieffing started but I will advice keshi to sort things out with him cost if our captain no dey our goal post, every goal scored in our post will push Oliseh closer to the door leading to sack.

Pls two if you shld make peace for the benefits if Nigerians

Better roll up your sleeves and get doing something

Martins301:
#BringBackENYEAMA simple. This Oliseh is too rigid.



I need a job please. I have a good first degree from a reputable university and am willing to relocate. Thanks.

can u do car wash

So he should not go and bury his mother because he plays for "the giant of Africa?" Eat hot shit oliseh!

Akbee:
Shut up there cos if u decide to hang your boot both at the club and international level,football will still be played in every nook and cranny of the world.infact the sports will even become more popular than ever.
Mr Oliseh might have bn wrong there but lets not be oblivious of the fact that he is the head coach of the national team which Enyeama happens to be the shot-stooper.The boss has the final say bros Enyeama n ur just a follower.
The fact that ur no more the team captain shouldn't make u want to take such hasty decision cos ur still the Mighty goal stopper we always know n one of the best as long as long as Nigerian football is concerned.
The capacity u serve in the team doesn't really matter but your output.

until we learn to respect our stars and not try to belittle them at the slightest provocation how can our team be great. Portugal will always respect Ronaldo same with Argentina for messi. Saisia did similar thing: lack of respect to those who deserve it and how did it go with him. Or you think Portuguese coach will not allow Ronaldo explain his absence due to his mothers burial ? The younger players need the experience of the older ones . Look at the teams that win the world cup they usually consist of players who have been in the team for years.

nerodenero:
This is the beginning of the end for Oliseh. Bad results and he is sacked.

Most of our coaches don't know how to manage players. From Siasia, Keshi and now Oliseh. It isn't wrong if you decide to name another captain but the way it was done as reported shows Oliseh is arrogant and not mature.

If I were Enyeama, I would quit asap as he has nothing to prove again. He is a general in the Eagles and should not be treated like a new recruit.

Absolutely on point. Enyeama deserves our support. Besides, did nfa show up at his mom's funeral? VE even try sef to show up at all. Oliseh's days wont be long at the top, if he doesn't change his style.

Communication is the key in leadership. And communication starts with listening, listening, and listening. Always listen to your team. There's no such thing as a leader without followers. Leadership and followership go hand-in-hand.

Sunny bobo, abeg calm down o. 101 rep for our country no be beans. BringBackVE(BBVE).

u're not being fair on Enyeama,he was only a day late to d camp which is nt bad considering d fact dat his mom's burial ws d reason for d one day delay. Even though I like Oliseh,I don't like what happened btwn him and Vincent.

Oliseh is an id.i.ot.Enyema did no wrong. Oliseh brought in selfish politics of trying to satisfies d North n PMB to know if they can like him.Its not Enyeama u wld use to achieve such.Enyeama is more popular than u.Stu.p.id Oliseh

maxiuc:
Guy I think is time to call it quit u have try your best please don't spoil ur effort for this great country

Wetin. dis one de talk!!!

It is high time we realized as a country that human beings are our greatest assets and should be treated with respect.

How would you criticize someone for lateness and demote him because of that when everyone heard on the news that he buried his mother over the weekend? People should be treated with respect.
Countries who value her people always succeed beyond the ones who don't, that's why we are in this state has a country.

How does this motivate other players in camp? Will they be willing to give their best when someone who's been their captain for years is being sidelined in this derogatory manner?

Philipsdael:
Indiscipline, arrogance and pomposity is common with all these so called BigBoys of the Super eagles.
He faulter by coming late to camp and he should've obey the coach before complain rather his pomposity wouldn't allow him.
If he likes, he can retire from entering enter pitch.
call a spade a spade , arrogance is arrogance.
He disobeyed the coach that represent the interest of the country at large and he is here threatening about quiting the team.
men who giva finger at the middle.
screw you !

Insecurity, rigidness and lack of respect for deserving stars is also worrying our coaches.

Anything to keep body and soul together o bro. Where pls? Pm me.

The captaincy is not Enyeama's birthright but a person of Oliseh's stature in the game should have known better.

Too much emphasis is being placed on this his bereavement issue


Oliseh hasn't said anything on that issue ever since it first made the news. And if Oliseh had issues with Enyeama, I doubt he would have invited him to camp this time. Remember that the issue of missing the call up was for the Tanzania match.

Secondly, its a common saying that a Good leader must also be a good follower. I do not know the full reason behind Oliseh's decision to appoint Ahmed Musa the new Skipper of the team. Maybe its to discipline Enyeama, maybe its to encourage Ahmed for his loyalty, maybe its change in tactics.. None of us wil fully know this except Oliseh.

That said:: Enyeama should have shown character and obeyed the coaches instruction to keep quiet. Remember, if Enyeama can openly disregard the coaches instructions during training, imagine what may happen during a live game. Oliseh did the right thing in sending Enyeama out of camp. For a long time now we have talked about instilling discipline into the Super Eagles. Why is Enyeama being treated like a sacred cow? (Meanwhile "Sacred Cow".. Nice Idea for a Nairaland User I.D )

Also, making Ahmed the Captain does not really mean nothing. He is still the most senior player in the team. Infact, after Enyeama, the band should have passed on to Mikel (who I believe is the Vice Captain of the team since the exit of Yobo) and not even Ahmed.

I feel for Enyeama without a doubt. Maybe he should have taken these games off as well. But for whatever it is, he didn't act like a Captain in this case (Snapped or not)..

He should take sometime off and let things settle. When its over, he can have a one on one with Coach Oliseh to see about mending fences as I believe the miscommunication is the number cause of conflicts.

Should he decide to quit, he has my respects now and always and has earned his place in the Nigerian Goalie Hall of fame with the likes of: Peter Rufai, Ike Shorunmu and Joseph Dosu.

Well said my brother.

I weep for Africa. It's people like Oliseh that make some of us call the likes of Mourinho, Ferguson, Wenger, Hiddink, kings, profs.


Meaning Oliseh would not have been able to manage players like Cantona, Rooney, Balotelli, Ronaldinho, Seedorf among other stubborn but exceptionally good players. COMMON RESOLUTION OF RELATIONSHIP CRISIS, Oliseh no fit handle am because pride and arrogance don full him head.



Enyeama has nothing to prove anymore. He should go. I see Oliseh crashing out of the Super Eagles if he continues with the AFRICAN DICTATORSHIP TENDENCIES.

It is not really about being or not being captin. It is rather about being punished unjustly.For crying out loud Enyeama just buried his mother last weekend,that he showed up few days after to play for the country is patriotic enough. Why would Oliseh demote him because he came a day after deadline?

Kulas:
Oliseh is an id.i.ot.Enyema did no wrong. Oliseh brought in selfish politics of trying to satisfies d North n PMB to know if they can like him.Its not Enyeama u wld use to achieve such.Enyeama is more popular than u.Stu.p.id Oliseh

I agree with you completely also once this rubbish politics comes in they become foolish, unduly aggressive and callous . Imagine how a whole captian who went to bury his MUM not any other relation is accepted and treated -with demotion without a chance to explain where else in the world does that happen. In other countries he will be getting national condolence and love even more so from the coach. But this is nigeria people think and act like goats openly.
