From what I can tell, she has strong connection with children. It is evident in most of her videos. Most of the people passionate about her and her videos were probably very young then. Most of the people who were adults back then surprisingly do not even give a damn about her or her videos. If those who were adults back then could commit some level of zeal or passion in this quest, we would have gotten her videos long ago.

That's true, children were passionate about her then, the adults were more passionate about the likes of Fela, hence reason you can easily get Fela's videos. So sad, anyway to some of us she represents the true face of Nigeria which is deep sense of patriotism and I must commend all who have been involved in this search, may be if some of us were much older then, this search wouldn't have been this intensive but then we are a nation that don't value true patriots.

chukwudi44:
All the senate needs to do is to ensure that the fraudulent nominees like Amaechi are rejected before the 21 days elapses!!

Please tell me any minister that has been rejected by the senate before?

Instead of us to be thanking God that no life was lost and the demage was not too much being a weekend, we are here arguing whether its a bomb or refrigerator. Am sorry to say this but we Nigerians talk at times like fools, if it is bomb nko, so we should be clapping and jumping that boko haram is in Lagos? is there any sense in that?

Please let's reason like human beings for once

APC will even be the biggest fool to allow the marginal advantage they still have in the Senate to be rubbished by the pdp not to clear the ministerial nominees. Saraki himself will be the biggest fool to allow the pdp determine who gets cleared even the pdp will be amazed if the APC allow it [the pdp] to determine who is fit to be a minister.

We all knew they are just blowing hot air, even PMB has nothing to loose if anybody is not cleared as that is not his job in the first place

NFF is trying so hard to do damage control, the arranged interview with oliseh by Toyin ibitoye did not get the expected mileage so this is another try but I may advise enyeama to just leave the eagles for good as oliseh looks like someone who may not let go easily. To me enyeama should have left the eagles before now, if he does not leave now,a bigger embarrassment may be waiting for him again.

A word is enough for the wise.

I knew Felix Okugbe way back as a little boy in Benin when he was a sports presenter with bendel or later Edo broadcasting service with one Sylvester ogboname a very good analyst, when I came back to Lagos in the mid nineties i was happy when when Okugbe later joined AIT sports. Felix has paid his dues in sports journalism and is a pioneer of the kind of sports programs we enjoy in the media today.

Rest in peace Felix

Am so surprised with the kind of bashing enyeama is getting here, most Nigerians here are not following the issues properly, enyeama is only reacting to the lies oliseh was peddling in a damage control arranged interview by the NFF with Toyin ibitoye where oliseh was lying that enyeama has been having issues with all Nigerian coaches including Berti vogts. Oliseh also accused enyeama of character assassination and said enyeama said he insulted his mother.

Oliseh is a kid and like someone said, this matter has been partially resolved with enyeama retiring from the national team. Its left for oliseh to translate all his grammar and phonetics to the field of play and let's see how it goes. For me am waiting for our home and way game against Egypt in march next year to know whether oliseh was a worthy successor to keshi.

Transformer999:
CAN YOU IMAGINE, YOU ASK HIM TO KEEP QUITE OR LEAVE THE ROOM, AND YET YOU SAID YOU DID NOT SEND HIM AWAY, HOW DO YOU TRANSLATES "LEAVE THE ROOM IN YOUR LANGUAGE"?

are u surprised? oliseh as a player once ask a sports minister to leave his room, I said ealier on another thread thatonly kids on nairaland who did not know Oliseh as a player will think He is a disciplined coach smsh

maestroferddi:
The ultimate loser will be NFF Chairman, Amaju Pinnick who appears clueless on how to lead from the front.

He is kindred spirit with Oliseh: all talk no substance. I listened to his views in one TV station during the World Cup. He was speaking so many well-sounding things about taking Nigerian football to the next level.

Now he has been made the head of the NFF and Nigerian football future is increasingly looking bleak.

The greatest disservice the amaju guy has done is to appoint a novice to coach our national team, someone who has never handled a national team after toasting nigerians that they will get a top class foreign coach. I said it on this forum that it is a carpenter coach that nff will use to replace keshi and I have been proved right.

so because of falae, some guys want to secede, wetin we no go hear for this country

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Ngige did nothing as a Senator and we voted him and Apc out, Apc has not place in SE and SS, Imo had 2 reps from Apc,why wasn't they given d Speakership slot? You guys think you are smart,you left people that won election and its Ngige that lost you would have given Senate President,Ike Ekueremadu is our choice,We are Proud of Him as our DSP!

@the bolded, so why all the hue and cry over marginalization of the SE in the appointments so far? so it was Ekweremadu that did wonderfully as a senator abi? were the imo reps high ranking reps to deserve a slot? Ike Ekweremadu is not your choice but the choice of saraki and his fellow pdp senators who never cared about you in the first place.

loksman:
I wonder when it became a crime for a player to seek permission from his coach to express himself. Oliseh was feeling arrogant...uhm...he was unsure of himself,he kinda wanted to stamp down his own authority but it came out the wrong way.

I think you are one of the few guys who now clearly understand the issue, Oliseh truly was forming God but it backfired and nff has used it to achieve on of their long time aims to get rid of Enyeama because of his outspokenness.

Oliseh should have told the world what he said to the players during the meeting cos insider information have it that Oliseh abused or should i say talked down at the players because he was not impressed during their training. Enyeama as the captain wanted to air his view, so what's wrong with that? Oliseh should have allowed Enyeama to talk, simple. I think Oliseh was a bit dictatorial there please

Honestly Oliseh messed up but the deed has been done and we need to move forward

our senators are so smart, since egunje no dey again from the Presidency, they have to use the would be senators and their god fathers to survive the Buhari recession.

All na wash, our darling senators know what they are asking for jare

The Rivers people and pdp should take a cue from their hero in ekiti, fayose who said an ekiti man is first of all an ekiti man in backing up Fayemi. The reason for the division btw wike and Amaechi no longer exists which is mama peace and GEJ. carrying over that bitterness for the man who is back is otueke is so silly and unreasonable.

Rivers state has an opportunity to have a man who will be very close to the C in C, I thought everyone in Nigeria has been talking about a Government who will embrace everyone irrespective of wherever they are from.

I challenge Wike to be a man and back up his former boss after all they were all in pdp before GEJ divided them. I am one of those who still believe that wike and amaechi will settle their differences especially since GEJ is no longer in aso rock. Wike can negotiate with his case at the tribunal for this. This is Nigeria, its all politics.

odomanis:
One thing you don't know is that it is not every SE that wants Biafra. A good number of Igbos prefer to have a bigger Nigeria as our country than a smaller Biafra. It is the attitude of people like you and Buhari that is giving credence to the agitation of those who want Biafra. Please if Nigeria belongs to all of us, leaders should stop deliberate exclusion of certain group or groups in the affairs of the Nation, else you push them away.

Buhari during his campaign went to the entire SE region to canvass for their votes and tried to engaged them in various conversations, he was even rejected audience with some elders in the SE despite facilitation from some SE folks. The SE publicly expressed hatred for Buhari and even said he was behind boko haram so who is fooling who here, The political intolerance by the SE is responsible for whatever they feel right now with Buhari. The agitation for succession cannot be used by the SE to ventilate their anger towards anybody as it would further lead to more distrust form other regions simple.

Truly I know many SE guys are not for the succession thing and i think these are the ones that should educate others about Political tolerance which the whole southern part of Nigeria even needs

jlinkd78:
I v always known dat Ekweremmadu slot has been d APC cum Buhari greatest burden but unfortunately its one bitter pill providence has forced down on them because of their obvious disregard towards d SE from onset. All these roforofo fight against Saraki is b/c a PDP person and particularly an Igboman is d Deputy Senate President but its getting late by d day that APC is helpless. Nigeria is built on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, d often contraption 'wazobia' but APC made it clear that d 'bia' leg must be cut off b/c of dia 5% designation but unfortunately God had a different plan for his chosen ppl. Haven't u imagined how come at d date n time of natn'l assembly inauguration, d APC members went for meeting with d party leadership even though d President had earlier sent in his letter consenting to d promulgation. Confusion u may say but dat was a devine masterpiece. Truth is as long as Saraki wants to remain as SP he must continue to align with d PDP/Ekweremadu who are d beautiful brides. U need 2/3rd majority to impeach d DSP and dat d apc cant ever get. If APC continue to push this matter which is naturally dying down, then d more they exhibit their poor knowledge of how democracy works. Apc had a choice of zoning d SP, DSP, speaker n deputy speaker but in a bid to make sure d SE and to a lesser extent d SS do not get any slot, they went against zoning so dat d SW n NW will take turns in addition to d VPn D President.

You are just too judgmental, Ekweremadu is the reason the SGF post never went to the SE, the SE played itself out when the likes of Ngige did was not returned to the senate by his own people who even enjoyed scholarships from him, in fact the crisis in the senate now is caused by the SE as there would have been no contention for the senate presidency if Ngige returned to the senate.

My question has always been what is Ekweremadu looking for after been a dsp for eight years and still want to remain dsp, haba the man na confirmed agbaya, if he really loves the SE region, Ekweremadu would have done the needful by stepping aside quietly even saraki will not stop him but you know what they do not care about their own people as some of you think here. Pdp is also using this as a way of holding on to power despite being dethroned, yes they took advantage of apc's naivety but will they have tolerated this in their own time. some of you talk about the Tambuwal issue but you forgot that his deputy was never from the acn who put him there and the likes of mukilat and co who lost out were absorbed in the house leadership which was what apc asked saraki to do which he refused and deepen the crisis by himself.

saraki and Ekweremadu know what to do, the ball is actually in their court if they truly love their constituency or region where they come from

nzeobi:
Saying the people he had problems is not enough.
Your reason for the loss is too light
I advise you deliver the results else you will be in the job market again

The guy is too inexperienced for the job that was why he was used to disgraced Enyeama whom the nff has been looking for a way to get Enyema out. Oliseh has forgotten that the nff who gave him the job will be the same nff that will chase him out when results don't go our way.

Oliseh was used period.

ammyluv2002:
I love Enyema but he took advantage of Nigerians....He's loved by everyone. No player should disrespect his coach no matter what happens. Yes, he felt insulted but Oliseh is the boss. We fight / argue with our parents yet we still love them and never had any cause to delete them from our lives. Nigeria is like "the parents" here, why would he give up on us? Where lays the Patriotism we all talked about?


Seriously, I'm so mad at him for quitting the SuperEagles. He knows...he's the best we've got, he knows, he will be missed, he knows, the SuperEagles can't do without him(for now) yet he left. Is it because, he's not been paid like his club side? I loved him but.....

@the bolded, so is it disrespect to ask for audience to speak as the captain? common bruv, Oliseh will even do more in his days as a player. Do you know Oliseh once ask a sports minister out of his room?

Only kids on nairaland who did not know Oliseh in his playing days will accept the rubbish he just did and the lies he's peddling in this video.

I have watched and listened to the video, where Olishe said he had a meeting with the players and spoke to them before Vincent said he wanted to bare his mind, thank God oliseh did not say he was interrupted as some stupid fellows have been saying, Oliseh should have stated what he said to the players in this interview, I have an insider information that Oliseh blasted the foreign based players told them if its because of their money, they should keep it at home and that even the home based players were better than them if not for their visas issues. It was at this rage by Oliseh that Enyeama asked for an audience and Oliseh has told us in this interview that he did not allow Enyeama to speak.

The question is was it wrong for Enyeama as the captain to ask audience from his coach to speak?

Why did Oliseh in this video did not tell us what he said to the players?

Oliseh by going memory lane to state the past sins of Enyeama which he said he heard cos he said he never knew Enyeama at all in his life has only proved and conform that he has been used by the nff to disgraced Enyeama out of the national team.

Oliseh has also lied in this video by saying that Enyeama said he insulted the memory of his mother, Enyeama only said he won't allow anyone insult the memory of his mother.

Oliseh only overacted to a matter that so simple to resolve.

This statement by nff gives credence to what some of us believed that the hand of nff was all over the issue starting from the kaduna palaver. Oliseh only acted on behalf of nff to complete the job shikena.

TheGoodJoe:
The NFF members already had it for Enyeama. If Pinnick wants me to believe him, then I can believe anything.

what a lot of folks don't know is that its all a script which has been from the kaduna issue, the panel that investigated the matter resolved that enyeama leave the national team, oliseh just completed the process, period.

Its high time we let the Oliseh/Enyeama drama rest and let's look forward to rebuild Nigerian football, Oliseh need to grow up, he doesn't have the time cos after this international break, he will start having competitive games and he needs to focus if he wants to succeed. Going forward since musa is now the captain, Oliseh should appoint a deputy captain and even a second deputy to avoid the embarrassment when Musa was replaced in the last match.

The home and away matches against Egypt in march next year will determine Oliseh future and not the stupid four or five year contract nff gave to an inexperienced coach who have never handled a national team before.

safarigirl:
Vincent Enyeama retired today. Apart from few sane people who wished him well, a majority of ungrateful nobodies felt the need to curse at him. I love how Nigerians suddenly remembered that there's a cabal that Enyeama heads, that Enyeama is arrogant, he's renowned for insurbodination. It doesn't even matter to us that Enyeama was consistent for 13 Years of his life, all those great saves he made against Messi, Aguero and other top class players mean nothing, all the games he saved us from being embarrased by teams like Gambia, doesn't matter, after all, we have Carl Ikeme. Yes, after 2 games against 2 mediocre teams, Ikeme is suddenly the 2nd Neuer. This is how we shame our players and then tomorrow, we expect sane people to play for Nigeria over countries that won't treat them like trash when it matters. It's sickening how ungrateful Nigerians are. There will ALWAYS be a cabal, whether by Keshi, Oliseh, Yobo, Enyeama or even Musa, that cabal will always be there. Today will mark the beginning of the change and if Oliseh will be hero or villain cc: Icon4s, thesupernerd, bascovanveli, dannycrusoe, linked

I have no problem with Vincent's retirement but the circumstances around it make me sad for a Player who I feel was our best goalie ever considering the fact that goalies like Peter rufai and others kept for a team much more stronger than the team Enyema led.

someone, a highly respected journalist asked what is the fuss about Enyeama as if he is greater than segun odegbami and I laughed cos this is a goalkeeper who has gone to 3 world cups and would have been 4 if Nigeria had been in Germany 2006.

Enyeama is a legend and do i hear someone say he is unpatriotic? A player who has played for his country for 13 years is even more patriotic than some of our Governors and ex Presidents.

Icon4s:
U started watching football 1999

Respect ur elders. I saw Nigeria lift the maiden U17 WC in 1985. I saw Nigeria win bronze U20 in 1985. I watched little if Euro '84 & i saw Maradona blow d world away in 1986.

We watched Nigeria 99 from our University hostels.

abi o, so many kids on nairaland , I also watched France 98 from my university hostel especially when Denmark gave us 4-1 and guys were asking if it was the same scores on other channels but give it to the lad he did a beautiful tribute to Enyema and I envy for that I must admit

Okesilas15:
Well said but I think ur husband is not done yet cos we are not done with him.If you think all that sleeping alone is over naa.He retired cos he found the situation untenable but I think the NFF will invite him and the coach with a view to resolving the matter or he comes back from retirement after Oliseh is sacked and another coach is employed.

Please let Enyeama go, the deed has been done, we get easily tired of our heroes in Nigeria, any friend or relation to any senior player in the eagles now should please advise them to retire, its enyeama today and this will not be the last cos na naija we dey.

krattoss:
Ecuador 2 Argentina 0

Chile 2 Brazil 0

Ireland 1 Germany 0

Should the citizens of these countries swallow their coach's

Mad Men.

Let us achieve what the likes of Brazil, Argentina and Germany has achieved in football first, then your post here will be taken more seriously. Have you ever asked yourself why these countries' senior sides have never lost to your darling super eagles before you posted your comment?

chinchum:
I doubt if anybody forced him,he may have invited him because he felt he still had something to offer the team. Enyeama could still have been a part of the team and not be the captain, it is the prerogative of the team coach to pick the team captain, oliseh exercised that right. It is outrightly disrespectfully for Enyeama to challenge that decision openly and aggresively.

History has shown that in the Nigerian team, the nff in consultations with the coach choose the captain, it was only when Oliseh became captain that it was done by votes from the players that is why Oliseh won ahead of Okocha who was his senior. Oliseh is bringing a bad precedence in our national team and everyone is supporting him. If keshi had done this, he would have been murdered in the media.

Anyway like i said somewhere, i am waiting for our match against Egypt in cairo next year, that is when i will know whether Oliseh is a coach or not. all this gra gra is irrelevant

buccunmie:
Olise won't last in dat post.....he's actually saying he can't see Vicient appearing for eagles even in the next afcon if dey qualify. ikeme don giv him hope. goodluck

The Ikeme's performance against a Tanzanian team who have blind strikers has deceived Oliseh that he can face Egypt in Cairo, na that match I de wait for against Egypt, when jungle mature, who no know go know.

Amaju should be blamed for giving Nigeria an inexperienced coach who only speaks phonetics smh

Enyeama should have call it quit after the world cup, Nigeria easily gets tired of his heroes, so its better to go when you are at your peak. Nigeria does not value total commitment to national duty, I doff my hat for victor moses, the guy sharp wella, when they invite him next time, he will come up with another excuse, that's the best way to deal with Nigeria.

Enyeama I commiserate with you, you are a General in Nigerian soccer, Please bow out honorably, I trust you will coach nigeria some day or at least Goalkeeper Trainer. I will miss you greatly Forget Oliseh now, we are waiting for the match against Egypt next year in Cairo to know whether he deserved to be your coach in the first place, My big brother just chill.

If this statement is true, I must give it to fayose ,though am no fan of his, this is the kind of politics I expect all southerners to play, support your own to get to the centre first and later you can begin to draw their ears. This is how the Northerners have been playing politics all along.

I hope my brothers from Rivers state can take a cue from Fayose who they like so much since he is a pdp man.

Whether Fayose could do nothing or not, if the statement is true, that is a smart one from from him.The chief of Defence staff is from Ekiti state, the more you have guys from your state in the centre, the better as they are close to the C in C especially if you are in the opposition party. Fayose and Fayemi surely have mutual contacts which makes it a win-win situation, they are not truly foes as people think.

mightyokwy:
My brother me tire sef. Oliseh him self would not take such treatment, infact is unacceptable to any right thinking person.
After AFCON 2013 enyeama announced his retirement but they all begged him to come back nd he accepted but is quit unfortunate that this is the best way to pay him back. Imagine someone who buried his mum last weekend and he is expect to abandon his family immidiately. He is not even suppose to be invited for the game. No respect for the player, the family and the dead woman. This is what the junior players look at and get discouraged

Enyeama like keshi should have call it quit in 2014 after the world cup. Nigeria is not worth all this trouble abeg
