I don't believe Okpala lied because such an accusation should have drawn a heavy response and denial from Taiwo.

When Taiwo made a false allegation, Okpala was quick to thrash it. And Taiwo kept mute.

If Taiwo had pushed further, hotel room numbers and CCTV will do the exposure.

Finito.

Since they want me to believe Taye and not to believe Okpala…make i kuku tell dem dat Taye lied and Okpala lied😁…case closed.

Mujtahida:
No be everything lawyers dey carry go court oo. They are some things that happen to even lawyers and they don't take it to court.

A bribery allegation is heavy and one must have his fact before going to press.According to elyte,Taye Taiwo lawyer was aware of the bribery allegation and layman like me believes the lawyer should go to court.

Mujtahida:
How will players be in a room and they won't know that the coach's room is next to theirs. Big time fabu

Taiwo lied and baba Okpala lied to counter him….lie vs lie na gbas gbos be dat.

Philosopher1979:
Daniel Akpeyi is
1. Playing regularlly in the South-African league
2. Has the experience at international level.

Im surprised this clown called Jose Peseiro is not calling him.
He should be first on the list

Peseiro Dey collect kickbacks Abi no be so…if na local coaches we for don Dey shout Uzoho Dey settle nau.

All I know solution to our goalkeeper is in NPFL and am rooting for Christian Nwoke.

joelsteron:
The same Odegbemi who singlehandedly made Joseph Yobo assistant of SE. I don't rate all these old men.

Odegbami philosophy is simple,let’s the young man assist and learn,possibly he would be a good coach,now left for the young man to learn.It happens in Europe,so Odegbami was not wrong.

Keshi got Togo coaching job through Patrick Ikeji after understudy Amodu through Odegbami recommendation.When he left Togo,the same Patrick recommended him for Mali job.

All these things are networking and it’s happening all over but left for individuals to grab the opportunity.

Aside Mahrez freekick st the nation cup. Would Daniel Akpeyi have let in those cheap goals conceded, Okoye and Uzoho at those critical moments or all these guys 3 are the same?

Even Mahrez free kick can beat any keeper,people just don’t want Akpeyi in goal,reason why they always criticizing him though he too can be annoying

elyte89:
Goodjoe no get street O.T ,so e no fit detect 😀

Pls be sincere can Taye Taiwo bench Elderson Echiejele during the period….we need to ask ourselves why players who can’t cut it always making bribery allegations…..pls did Keshi asked Taye for bribe or what cus me I no Dey understand something o

jihday:
a bloody lie from Okpala

Then who Dey lie between Taiye Taiwo and Okpala cuz after Quicksilver Okpala responded nothing was heard from Taye Taiwo.

Why pray in a language your audience don't understand?

The audience asked for it.

Odunayaw:
Wikipedia shows there were only 6 home based in the squad for the tournament and only 2 featured in that game. There's no need for sensationalism.

Odun correct.

chrisooblog:
Egbon 4 out of the 5 names you mentioned had already been part of the team for years and we all know how Keshi influenced the invitation of Emenalo in place of Ugbade.

So egbon are you saying that because Westerhof did it that makes it right?

On Ike Uche issue I would have found a way to reconcile with the team's best striker before the WC. The fact that they were able to put aside their differences for the AFCON qualifiers shows it wasn't impossible.

Keshi was a patriot, a great player and coach for the SE but he wasn't a saint and we shouldn't stop people from also pointing his own flaws.

Oga Chris,I had close relationships with Westerhoff when he was in Ilorin as KFA administrator.I had the opportunity of handling his utilities and this brought us together.

I asked him alot of questions regarding Super eagles and Ugbade issue was one of my questions cuz I was pained when Nduka failed to make it not cuz of anything but that U 17,U 20 and WC record.

He said he needed a natural left back as a cover for Ben Iroha but not satisfied with Ugbade….he set out and find Mike Emenalo based on recommendation from his assistant.He came in and was satisfied with his performance in camp.

He said Keshi came and said Boss hope Ugbade is making it cuz he has a record to fulfill and he replied “we are going to WC not for personal record”

He said Keshi made it cuz he did unimaginable for Nigeria football and his presence was inspiring to other players.

He remember,Keshi turning his wife to a cook voluntarily anytime eagles camped in papendal.He brought in Chidi Nwanu and Semitoje paid the price cuz there was no way Keshi must make it despite his injury and club situation.

Nobody is against criticizing Keshi but he deserves little respect.

Stephen Keshi did a lot for Nigeria football than ridiculing him with unfounded and baseless allegations.

chrisooblog:
I won't speak evil of the dead but taking an inactive player like Gabriel Rueben, who even his own club coach was shocked to the WC is the height of irresponsibility.

Don't even get me started on taking Babatunde and "Flavour" to Brazil and excluding Sone Aluko (who was in form) and Ike Uche (our best striker in Europe then)

Nobody should bring any yenyenyen talk that Ike was indisciplined and not in the good books of Keshi. If they could resolve their differences later for a common AFCON qualifier why the hell not for a bloody WC?

Check out US 94 team and tell me what was Keshi,Uche Okafor,Emeka Ezeugo,Thompson Oliha and Mike Emenalo doing in that team based on their clubs,in fact Ezeugo,Okafor and Emenalo were playing what I will call semi pro league…fine Keshi as a captain and his contribution to the team made Westerhoff to repay him…..Oliha too was struggling.


Yes on IKechucwu Uche…I will never take a player who was not ready to play to my instruction and went as far telling my employer that tactically am not ready and at the end my poor tactics won the cup…pls if you are in Keshi’s shoe what will you do?

Oga calm down Abi no be football talk again,no yeye talk here abeg….bring your opinion and let’s others bring their opinions and we disagree to agree.

**unattached check it out did anyone criticize Westerhoff why,he delivered,pls answer my question what was Keshi performance with players you mentioned,Afcon 2013 and 2014 WC second round.

Pls rate super eagles coaches from time immemorial and let’s discuss further.

My southerners in Kano,pls close una shop o,observe your Sunday worship at home o

The question now is "Was Oliseh merely being a henchman for the NFF"?

Can you boldly say that?

Oliseh said he did it but to some he can’t carried such act without NFF involvement based on what happened between NFF and Enyeama regarding match location.

Amaju tried to play a good man but NFF scribe statements showed that they are in support of Oliseh action.

Since Oliseh is still telling us till date that he did it then who are we to say NO,despite some believing it was NFF/Oliseh combo.

Enyeama just last week said NFF treated him badly without even mentioning Oliseh,do we say he expected NFF to act in his defense or he realized NFF was in the picture of the whole thing.

Till date Oliseh is saying he was not influenced

kennysville:
You see why I said let the unbiased minds judge? This is why sometimes you make it difficult to engage you in serious discussions cos you tend to allow your passion cloud your objectivity. There is nothing I can say to convince you because it's just not what you want to hear. However I will leave this with you. In court there is something called testifying against an accused which smart lawyers do in order to win an argument. And that can mislead the jury. What is hidden is plain for God to see. But don't come in here and talk authoritatively like an invisible witness that no one saw during the altercation.

Oliseh and Enyeama issue was public and nothing to hide except we are deceiving ourselves to say the truth.

It would have been better for Oliseh not to invite Enyeama than the stupid and ignorant behavior he exhibited toward Enyeama.

zuchyblink:
Oliseh is a Man-child and a confusionist with overbloated ego and other behavioural issues.
He is suppose to be in the rehab not in the super eagles. His drawback is his persona.

In one of his interviews recently he said Ndidi is a better player than Mikel,but is Oliseh better than Mikel career wise?NO….we didn’t see prime Mikel in championship but prime Ndidi is in championship.

He handled eagles in a very confusing manner and left the team in tatters.

TheGoodJoe:
In what you posted, there is nothing concrete to why Oliseh dropped Enyeama. He prepared to drop him before he came to camp. Invited an extra goal keeper. Announced a new captain before telling Enyeama. Then finally saying he was building a new team which is not a concrete reason for dropping a captain of the Super Eagles.

So the videos you are throwing around did not counter my belief.

My question was it proper to drop a player with 101 caps as captain without proper briefing and who just buried his mother….Oliseh is wicked.

forgiveness:
Lame yan. He collect.

He no collect

elyte89:
Boss I am close to former taiye taiwo lawyer and I av first hand details of what happened between him and keshi …. Taiye taiwo former Nigeria 🇳🇬 manager( hesikey)..we once lived in d same area, Taiye taiwo , Ayila and azeez na same same area click and are all close to this taye taiwo manager and lawyer

Yes Okota area guys….and Taye Taiwo lawyer failed to sue Keshi since he knew what transpired.

elyte89:
It’s not bloody lie…u re only privilege to infos u have …have u listened to taye Taiwo’s interview about keshi on y he was not taking to the world cup ,also do u knw aw Azeez made it to d World Cup too?

Pls what was Taye Taiwo performance prior to 2013 Afcon and 2014 WC,was he better than Elderson Echiejele……Why not accuse Rohr of taken totally off form Echiejele to WC and one match wonder Idowu and Simy Nwankwo to WC but you guys keep on accusing Keshi of taken Shola Ameobi,Babatunde Michael,Uchebo and Nwofor to WC but despite that he still reached second round.

Pls paste where Taye Taiwo accused Keshi of taking bribe.

TheGoodJoe:

Thank you for the bolded. Did not know about it.

Yes he was banned alongside Clement Temile,Henry Nwosu,Humphrey Edobor,Bright Omokaro and Sunday Eboigbe.

123jamessmith:
Keshi was collecting bribe openly, Everybody was aware of it.

He was collecting bribes openly?oya name one open bribery allegation.

123jamessmith:
Let's be sincere with ourself in this platform. Yes, kashi won the AFCON but how many of you here can beat your chest and say that kashi didnt take bribe to select players for the 2014 world cup.
I waited for that list to come out, that list came in the middle of night, players that didnt even play the qualifiers made the list.
Keshi was one of the most corrupt coach to ever coach Super Eagles. Almost 10 of the players that make that 2014 world cup list where not suppose to be there. They all paid their way to team. We can mention names if you want.

I know if Peseiro is a local you would have accused him of collecting bribes from Uzoho and Aribo….did you know how Dosu Joseph made Atlanta 96 team….na to Dey hammer local coaches

Joezinho:
Egbon, was Keshi any better ? Let’s stop defending the atrocities Keshi also committed. Did he not also get rid of players when he was the coach of the team?

A coach that selects the like of Nwafor , Uchebo and Ameobi for the WC , deserves hell.

Even as a player, a host of the players who came into the Eagles around that era had to subscribe to the big boss or you are excluded from the inner caucus. Keshi that led a Belgium – based boycott in the late 80s. Dude held the country hostage for years as a player.

Oliseh as a player was outspoken and ended up getting betrayed by Okocha and Kanu after they all agreed to strike. It was the betrayal that resulted in the premature exit of Oliseh , Finidi and Agali amongst others from our team. This led to us taking an immature team to 2002 and the freefall of our team that climaxed at our exit from 2006 WC.

Oliseh was a fantastic leader on and off the pitch. I pray he gets the SE job.

Oga Joe,the main discourse here is on Enyeama forceful retirement.

Well I see some always ridiculing Keshi on 2014 WC which still equaled 1994 and 1998 team record of second round

I followed Keshi passionately and read a lot about him right from St Finbarrs Akoka Lagos to Fly eagles,to super eagles and how he got banned from playing football in Nigeria for coming to camp late after played for NNB in WAFU cup final,after the match he went on a night journey but camp closed midnight…He was devastated,wept like a baby and this force a very young man to leave Nigeria to Ivory Coast the rest is history….

…on Keshi inner caucus making the team in the 80s?did you know Keshi came back to eagles in 1988 and force himself to play Afcon 88,flew in and out of Morocco cuz Anderlecht gave him a condition….After 88,he was out again until 1991.

Did you know Keshi’s real pals were Sunday Ebougbe,Bright Omokaro,Wilfred Agbonavbare,Henry Nwosu who was his school mate in St Finbarrs,and his best friend was Ademola Adeshina,now tell me how Keshi influenced their national team careers.

On Sunday Oliseh,I followed him in RFC Leige with Victor Ikpeba before he played his debut match against Ethiopia,so nothing against him but he messed up handling Enyeama issue.

TheGoodJoe:
Is this not a ridiculous statement from the so called NFF spokesperson?

Did Enyeama quit Super Eagles because he quarrelled with Oliseh or he left because he was stripped off his captaincy just after burying his mother? Is it not him getting stripped of his band that led to the quarrel? Let them tell us why Enyeama was stripped his captain band. Let us know what he did wrong before saying clash of egos.

Egos ke.

Oliseh sold a dummy to Amaju and he fell for it

Enyeama did nothing wrong to be stripped of eagles captain but NFF wanted him out and Oliseh acted the script in a very poorly executed manner.

kennysville:
Oga.... fear God small. Don't present this argument as facts. We have exhausted this issue in the past. Many people look at this issue from a particular perspective that seeks to vilify Oliseh whether inadvertently or inocuously. I was privileged to speak to the spokes person of NFF at that time. I don't want to mention his name. This was mainly clash of egos. Many are talking here because of sentiments towards the fact that Enyeama just buried his mum. While that is very sad, it shouldn't be weaponised to sway us from the truth. I have watched Enyeama's interviews as well as Oliseh's interview. I don't want to say much but the narrative needs to be corrected. Thanks

Sir Kenny,pls clarity from you on this talks.

Former Super eagles media assistant and later Sports Minister SA is a friend and I want tell you politicking in NFF regarding Super eagles is higher than what we are seeing on the news.

Sunday Oliseh appointing Musa as captain was just to get the cabal backing and to remain as Super eagles coach against any odds.It was later, Amaju realized that Oliseh was a mistake.

Oliseh goofed on Enyeama and Siasia brought normalcy into the situation by appointing Mikel as captain….Siasia did this with respect by having tête-à-tête with Musa in his room.

A player with 101 caps,lost his mum and came to camp and the next thing was to announce during the dinner that he was no longer the captain of the team for no genuine reason.

Enyeama deserved an explanation but Oliseh was not ready to explain,haba a player with over 100 caps,total disrespectful,pls can Oliseh takes that?NO .

The next thing was to appoint Musa just to spite and frustrate Mikel and other old boys out of the team.

Amaju wading in was just face saving,nothing more.

TheGoodJoe:
You are mixing it up.

Enyeama buried his mother on the 4th of October and returned to camp the 9th. A day after camp opened. Not months.

It is obvious Oliseh used that one day slip to carry out the bidding of the NFF people that wanted Enyeama out.

Enyeama was a stumbling block to the guys in the glass house and his audacity to speak against their wrong action looks the problem.

Yea conspiracy and it involved NFF and Oliseh,reason why I will never respect Oliseh…You can’t used Keshi or Siasia for that kind of shit

Danielnino00:
Unless the reports of CAF making the AFCON squad a 27 man list is true, which I doubt, Akor will most likely miss out... Peseiro seems to prefer Sadiq....
Sadiq is a good player, no doubt, but he is yet to hit form since his injury.. including him in the team isn't really necessary

Yes Osimhen,Awoniyi and Boniface but with Awo injury,yes he preferred Sadiq but I don’t mind having Akor not even Orban

Any man that has a wife not wives with good children will always be happy….married more than a wife is a letter to unbalanced life.

Feelers from Ilorin Stadium said nothing stop Christian Nwoke from not manning goalpost for Super eagles…..Dele Aiyenugba echoed it.
