Siasia's mother, madam Ogere siasia was kidnapped by three unidentified gunmen who stormed her home in Bayelsa State, on a motorbike.

Siasia said, his family was still negotiating his mother's release but decried both the Bayelsa state and Federal government's nonchalant attitude towards securing her mother's release.

According to the Dream Team VI coach, neither the state government nor the National Sports commission led by the new minister of sports, Solomon Dalong and the Director General of NSC, Mallam Al-Hassan Yakmut has called him or any of his family member to sympathize with them in this trying moment.

The coach who could not hide his emotions expressed his sadness over the development. According to him, the only thing he could do is to pray that God touches the heart of the kidnappers to free his mum.

Harris Bulunga, the head coach of the Swaziland national football team on Tuesday disclosed that not fielding Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi in the FIFA World Cup qualifying match played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, led to the 2-0 defeat his team suffered from the Eagles.

He made this remark after the match which saw Moses Simon and Efe Ambrose's goal in the 51st and 84th minute respectively, sent the Swaziland packing from the World Cup qualifier series.

Bulunga said, he expected Oliseh to play Mikel Obi, but it was a surprise to see him on the sideline.
According to him "Sunday Oliseh surprised us with his tactics and choice of players. The Nigerian midfield was generally slow in the first leg in Swaziland."

He stated that the Nigerian midfield was more mobile and fluid in Tuesday's match, adding that the Eagles created more chances in the match. Bulunga noted that the Eagles midfield was more coordinated in yesterday's game.

The Swazi coach also tipped the Eagles to go places in the World Cup qualifying matches.

Ronaldo speaking with ITV, said "To speak seriously, it is not easy. I know 50 per cent [of the women] approach just for [celebrity] interest... It's normal, not just me. All the famous people have these kind of problems. Shayk, a Russian model in June, alleged that Ronaldo had not been faithful.
