Sunday Oliseh Reveals The Secret Behind The Success Of The 1994 Super Eagles. by naptu2: 1:53am On Apr 10, 2019 |
Today is the 25th anniversary of Nigeria's victory at the 1994 African Nations Cup in Tunisia. The Super Eagles teams of the 1990s (1993-1996) are seen as the most successful set of Super Eagles ever. The teams was honoured at the NFF Football Awards last week and Sunday Oliseh explained why they were succesful. This is a transcript of the speech. The video is below. I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of my colleagues. It's the first time that we are getting together in the past 25 years. The other Eagles reply, "No". That tells you the love that we had for one another. An Ivorian in the audience reacted, which led to laughter from the rest of the audience and Sunday Oliseh said. . . With all due respect. Oliseh gives the microphone to Amokachi and Amokachi says jokingly, "You dey lie small". Oliseh says: Because then he was a 9½. He was coming to join us in midfield.

Nigeria 2-0 Zaire. Both goals were by Rashidi Yekini. The way that he controlled the ball for the first goal was simply amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLWLiQ4_n2U 13 Likes 4 Shares |

Wonderful speech by Oliseh. They couldn't have picked a better person to give it. That team remains the best Nigeria has ever produced. I agree that a street should be named after the squad in every street, no matter if the street is fine or not. Kudos to NFF for this honour. Sad that Keshi, Uche Okafor, Rashidi Yekini, Thompson Oliha, and Wilfred Agbonavbare are no longer with us. the team achieved the highest FIFA ranking position ever achieved by an African football team. (fifth) incidentally in April 1994 - exactly 25 years ago. Clemens Westerhof and the Babangida regime deserve credible mentions for their role in developing the team. Westerhof was given enough time to work on the team despite the early challenges the team faced. Westerhof took charge of the team immediately after losing the Italia '90 World Cup ticket to Cameroon, taking the team to the finals of the Algiers '90 Nations Cup and four years later winning the Tunisia '94 Natiins Cup and getting the team into the second round of USA'94 World Cup. The support for Westerhof and the team by the government, in my opinion, was unprecedented. I don't recall Babangida being at the stadium to watch any match but Admiral Augustus Aikhomu was always there. Air Commodore Emeka Omerua (the comedienne Chigurl's father) was sports minister then. I've always wondered why airforce officers were put in charge of the sports ministry in those days - Omeruah, Bayo Alfa, Anthony Ikhazobor. Thinking back now, I just realised that all of this was in the midst of the June 12 saga. Hmm... 43 Likes 3 Shares |

True Okocha was one of the best dribblers Nigeria ever had, he could dribble the players one by one and even the goal keeper but he wasn't a great finisher. He would kick the ball wild over the post and spit away. In fact his saliva decorated every pitch he ever played on. Guys I lie? 36 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem is not allowing our young players to develop properly but promoting them to senior team immediately they show slight promise. Another reason is politics and godfatherism in football. Lack of funds and mismanagement. 2 Likes 1 Share |
