Oliseh, Enyeama And The Ungrateful Nigerian System by freshchild: 9:32pm On Oct 07, 2015
No one fancies the international break, but some news of national victory or qualification to a major tournament can serve as a welcome development but certainly not some disturbing news of a row between the longest serving player in the bunch and an anointed manager... The tale of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.


When news filtered in that Vincent Enyeama was being walked out of the training camp by coach Sunday Oliseh, it was believed to be some unfounded rumour from the pit of the Nigerian prisons which is equal to hell by all standards.


However, a statement from the ruling football house in the country confirmed the ugly incidence but assured the situation was under control against the news that said Enyeama was out of camp already.


It's true that there was a little misunderstanding in the camp of @NGSuperEagles, but the matter has been resolved. Enyeama remains in camp

A peep into the history book, we land in ombudsman in Sudan, where the Super Eagles were to play their hearts out for a win that would restore their chances of beating George Weah's Liberia to the sole World Cup ticket of that group; Sunday Oliseh, who was the captain of the team then and his deputy Finidi George had turned down the invitation to negotiate the contest as they believed Nigeria was fighting to lose. It went the other way round as the Sudanese needed the referee to bail them out after the Eagles ran riot 4:0 at a little past the hour mark with Okocha, Aghahowa, Ayegbeni and Pappilo on the score sheet.


Neither Oliseh nor Finidi was invited for the final victory over Ghana where Victor Agali and Tijani Babangida starred, the quartet were left out of Coach Onigbinde's squad to Korea and Japan. The rebellious Sunday Oliseh never apologized to Nigeria and his national team career sunk to rise no more at the alter of his ill advised ego.


Strangely, somewhere undisclosed in the Nigerian constitution seems to have it in hidden letters that the nation is indebted to the class of 94 Eagles and we must pay by making them national team coaches till we run out of them, it came to his turn after Keshi's shameful Ivory Coast story hence the emergence of the former Dortmund midfielder as the chief coach of the Nigerian national team.


Vincent Enyeama starred against England in the tournament Oliseh missed, that marked the end of the latter and the rise of the former, They meet again now but in acrimony. Vincent Enyeama has been the leading light in the team for over a decade, people started taking him seriously after his penalty heroics against Tunisia in the CAF cup of nations in 2006, if you have doubts about Vincent Enyeama, ask one of the best feet to grace the round leather game Lionel Messi. The shot stopper had missed the previous two matches of the new regime obviously due to the illness and eventual loss of his mother, whom he just buried over the weekend.
