THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE RIFT:

XCLUSIVE By Johnny Edward:

Completesportsnigeria.com can exclusively report today the real story behind the clash between Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh and (former) captain Vincent Enyeama on Tuesday night.

A source within the team's camp in Belgium, who witnessed the incident, narrated the dramatic confrontation that led to the initial expulsion and recall of Enyeama.

While the story doing the rounds is that the battle started because Oliseh shouted down Enyeama while the Lille keeper was trying to explain his late arrival in camp, Completesportsnigeria.com learnt that was not exactly how it went down.

Oliseh, according to our source, had no issue with Enyeama arriving in camp on Tuesday instead of Monday, since the coach was aware that the keeper was recently bereaved and buried his late mum over the weekend.

But the clash started when, while holding a meeting with the players after their evening training session which Enyeama attended but did not participate in, Oliseh mentioned Ahmed Musa as the team captain. Enyeama was said to have rudely interrupted the coach's speech at this point, the Lille keeper insisting that he was the captain, not Musa.

This interruption apparently riled Oliseh, who ordered Enyeama to let him (Oliseh) address his players in peace. But Enyeama continued talking, raising his voice at the coach.

When Oliseh could not take it anymore, he ordered that Enyeama leave the venue of the meeting as he felt the keeper was undermining his (Oliseh's) authority.

When Enyeama refused to leave, Oliseh asked for the goalkeeper to be forcibly removed from the Verviers Hotel camp by security men.

But five senior players in the squad: Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Ahmed Musa, Elderson Echiejile and Emmanuel Emenike, waded in and all went to Oliseh's room to plead on behalf of Enyeama.

Also there were telephone calls from the Nigerian Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick and even some big Nigerian politicians to have the matter resolved.

"Enyeama was rude to Oliseh, no doubt. Oliseh has so many issues to deal with, especially the inability of six home-based players to get visas to join the squad, and the possibility of Godfrey Oboabona missing the match, and he doesn't need this additional distraction " a top official told Completesportsnigeria.com, before corroborating the first source's narration of events..

"The embarrassment he got from Enyeama in the presence of the other players was uncalled for and disappointing.

"Oliseh just announced that Ahmed Musa remains his captain and Enyeama flared up. He was told his response wasn't needed by the coach but Enyeama was angered and would not back down.

"He was asked to excuse the meeting and when he didn't, Oliseh asked for him to be bundled out of the team's camp, contrary to reports in the media that Enyeama was asked to shut up while trying to explain his late arrival, which wasn't even an issue.

"For goodness sake, a coach has the right to pick his captain for the team. New coaches do it all the time."

The source went further to explain that for Oliseh to drive down to Lille at the start of the Ligue 1 season to discuss the rebuilding process of the Super Eagles with Enyeama shows how much he respects the former Enyimba star.

"Oliseh wasn't given the respect he deserved. He (Oliseh) is not a saint and might not be completely blameless, but Enyeama should respect the coach; he is the boss," the source added.

There were also hints from the team's camp that Oliseh was not happy that Enyeama arrived early enough to train with the team on Tuesday, only to spend the entire time chatting with team secretary Dayo Enebi, asking questions about the new players in the squad, while Carl Ikeme was the only other goalkeeper in camp and the team would need two for a full session.

Before you start talking, get the correct information.

Captainship is not all about seniority. Messi is the captain of Argentina, but he is not the most capped player,, the same applies everywhere. If the coach feels Musa will give him what he needs, so be it. Once the team is delivering, shikena.

My advice is that the coach should work with the older players. On the issue of good command of English, that one is baldadash. He can speak Hausa. How many countries speak english. Spaniards speak spanish and no one has killed them. If i were to be musa, ill speak hausa and let it be interpreted.

Why cant these dullards just dissapear and enter a bank vault. Touch all the wraps of money and viam they will all disappear to their to their base. Why waste life 1st

FP straight!!!

Gurl, If u dont want to regret your what you have done for yourself, Just move on with your life. You will get someone better tomorrow. All the few good men have not been taken.

Dont be the other woman because, if you think u will be the last love, then you have failed. after you there will be another woman and the cycle continues.

Jah bless.

Dear NL,

I'm 25 years old, I met this guy online via chatting and before i knew, we met and we fell deeply in love.This guy is irresistible when we met and i never prayed for something more, because he was so caring, lovely and loving, not only that he is so tall and handsome as i have always prayed for. After a month we knew each other better and every minute i rang him up, he later told me and revealed to me everything about him, because he is not the flamboyant type of guy, i hardly notice that he is loaded.

At age 33 he has a lot of properties and work with a Ministry in Lagos, seconded employment with one int'l institution, he got me int'l passport and took me out of Nigeria shore for the first time in my life. I am from an average family and I'm not easily moved with material things, I'm a working class lady earning moderate salary and living well, i had a relationship before him but not a stable one.

He later revealed to me that he has something to tell me that might tear us apart, i made up my mind since it would not lead to my death, i bet i have reached my bus stop, because he is also in love with me. What a perfect match!. Until the day he bursted it out that he is married with kids and he was sweating and breathing so restlessly, waiting for me to breakup with him, i reassured him i will still love him at that, he explained he impregnated the girl and his family forced him to marry the girl...in short, three kids, two boys and a girl from the woman,(first boy and a twins).

I almost fainted, but pretended as if all is well, at least he still managed to tell me to let me decide to continue or not. We both continued and this month make our 6th month and he is already talking about our marriage, he tried divorcing the first wife, but get warned to let her be to make peace reign, i noticed he loves me so much and also loves his children too well too. He is traveling out soon to study for his PH.D. He wants me to get pregnant for him and do the needful with my family and declare his intentions of taking me as his second wife to his first wife and family...But at this stage i have doubting mind maybe i'm ready to go on or not..i don't feel like ruining the woman's home, and i don't feel like losing this my sweet love, he is not forcing me and he wants me to decide for myself....

Please help me dearies, abuse are allowed at least maybe it will straighten my brain..but i sincerely love him, he promised to settle me down in another state and assured me that all will be well.The issue is i'm so CONFUSED.

Because Yorubas accomodate visitors, they are slaves.

Igbo and Hausa(Boko haram) are both salvages. They are both the same.

Its only that one is brave, the other is a keyboard warrior.

One is a muslim, the other is a christian.

Yorubas accomodate both Igbos and Fulanis on their lands. Americans, Britains accomodate foreigners too, it doesnt mean they are slaves to their visitors. Its just a civil way of life.

Well igbo salvage [s][/s]tribe wont know this.

Its not salvage bro

The destroyed shrine is in my place. We wanted it removed a long time ago. The worshipers are all dead. So what do we keep it for Besides thats an entrance to my village. Why would i encounter a shrine 1st before going to my place.

It was a very good riddance.

stinggy:
Followers of your religion were seen destroying shrines in a show of non-tolerance in the Eastern part of Nigeria few months ago, what's your take?

Who was holding the fund in the first place. I guess they must have fixed the fund and it has been yielding interest. Hope ICPC collected the interest also.

distinguished1:
yes now, my corper friend attested to that.
But one thing is certain; let them hold the election 10 times, Wike will defeat Dakuku.
It's simple political mathematics.
Every party has its strong hold.

WIKE used a very wrong move, that will definitely turn to be his achilles heel. His advisers would have told him that the election is his. He would ve won in a free and fair setting. But no he chose force and brutality.

Anyway whoever rules, let him do the right thing

Your problem long sha

See what years of bad governance has done to you. So it's okay to have flooded roads for 24 hours? We can sit back at home while the water finds its way or our cars can wade through it, right? Comments like this make me worry about the future of this country.

All Wike need to do is introduce proper drainage channels on that part of the road finish. Na my area be that. The surfacing of the road is still in good shape

pyyxxaro:
Sai Wike


Any other Wike is a counterfeit

The structure that was already receiving finishing touches before Amaechi left office. Na person wey no dey live for PH dem go dey tell that kind Story.

Good he is following up on his predecessors projects and not abandoning them

Guy U need sense. ( The common type). These kinda things happen daily. If she aint there when it was rough, why coming when its rossy. The best thing for you to do is move on with your life. Just continue the walk and dont look back.

I did the same and thank God that i continued the walk.

If dont know how to do it, just play this song by Graig David ( I'm Walking away)
Thank me later

What is the name of their car?? is it Mishak

Distractions. Please start working. Stop all these Amechi this Amechi that.

Wike we gree amechi did not work. Pls ur 100 days in office is fast approaching. Stop showing us what was not done. We know d school & we know d truth. Pls fold ur sleeves & get to work. PH city is becoming a garbage city.

Big lie

David Alaba never wanted to play for Nigeria

Alabama came here for U17 Guess what he was not even given d opportunity to show his skills. What happened next. By his 17th birthday he is already a Bayern senior player.

Lasgidy1:
I've learnt my lessons from a used 2007model ford focus executive I bought. That car made me compulsorily became friend with mechanics. I've learnt my lessons ever since. If its not brand new, my broda count me out

Ford? Hmmm na motor be that? D shit u get buying USA cars

For crying out loud. Wike should please focus his energy on d governance. His 1st days will b over without anything to show. Order than Amaechi this Rotimi that. If he doesn't have anything to offer. He'd better let us know.

3Rd looks like mexico jersey

Lie lie full ground. which time rochas come become mbieri man. Rochas is from Ogboko in Ideator South. I still know his house. him got no mansion anywhere.

nerodenero:
Instead of their career to keep rising, it will just nosedive. You can't cheat age in football and if you do, football go just waka leave you too soon than expected. Where is Okoro 'the self acclaimed new Messi' and Chrisantus? Age don tell on them

Okoro is with Almeria. Yet to get into d first team

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Islamists and violent mentality. This man you intend forcing Islam on was a Christian converted to Islam, yet Christians never took up arms for whatever reason but when he made a u-turn and went back to Christianity then the same people who taught us that religion is not by compulsion wasted a life in trying to force him back

Which place dem just convert people. Its always either yes or death

LordCenturion:
Igbo people, they only good in shouting & crying at everything and they are good for nothing, they start envy other tribe since they see Africa magic yoruba and Hausa, greedy people, I wonder Wat SS should do, instead of them to fight how to get the President slot, but ranting over irrelevant things.... Now u requested for it and u have it, keep enjoying it alone, in fact I go tell multi choice not to include that channel in my decoder ..... Mtcheeeeeew

No get acid reflux

Medley:
bokoharam on a suicide mission. Once they try to have a more wider coverage in their terrorism without its accompanying increase in members.

I am sure this bokoharam is a group for people that are tired of living. Latest human right fighters in the world.

Are they not in a bid to make enemies for Nigeria based on this strange move?

Guess they re tired of naija women
Want to taste SA tong.

@guass

Thanks for all the help you have been rendering. I have a kind of problem with my decoder. Some of the channels are very clear and stable while some are very very unstable. A look at the signal information shows that they got a signal info that comes off and on. I mean its shows and goes off to zero the next second. Strength of 84% and Quality 100%

Please what could be the cause of this since i have 25 stable channels and 25 unstable channels especially Mmovies net, Afrimagic family, Select2, Natgeo wild, Arise, ZeeTv, infact all the good channels are unstable and it if really frustrating.

guass:
E0-17 means ur decoder has not been activated. Format on how to do it is on the back of ur GOtv carton. While sending that format to 4688, ur decoder must be on and turned to channel 5.
