Antina: Oliseh was not a mafia ooo. He was an activist always fighting for the entitlements of his teammates when there was no social media scrutiny on NFA officials then. They painted him as a scapegoat and disbanded the team that is only recovering now after nearly two decades. |

SHTFguy: Oga, Emma his elder brother was the one who brought him to germany for pro football. His elder bro had a club already and was already playing for super eagles then. You don't know anything. The goal you are talking about was with oliver khan. Yes you are a small pikin because you keep insisting on what you know nothing about. That name already had a history with his brother before it was adapted to him. |

Christian Chukwu, (Chairman) - I heard the name came from his composure, calm and mature attitude towards the game, once he's in the pitch, there's confidence which he exudes and transfers onto the whole team! |

SHTFguy: Jay Jay inherited the name from his elder brother James (Or John) and not Emmanuel. I believe the brother played for Railways Enugu. While growing up, Emmanuel was called Emma Jay Jay for a while and Augustine was Austin Jay Jay. That's how the name stuck In Enugu, it not unusual to be inherit the nickname of a famous or successful elder brother |
