Sunday Oliseh Replies Stephen Keshi!
Story By Precious
What Stephen Keshi needs to understand,Urgently!
Stephen Keshi is a good coach. In fact he is the most successful coach Nigeria has had in the past decade and by winning the nations cup 2013 he boarded the ship of achieving coaches!
But one quality that successful and long lasting coaches have, is that they have always had a nose to differentiate constructive criticisms from destructive ones and act on them even if they do not agree in public.
Ever since our nation triumphed at the 2013 African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) our super eagles have been struggling,relatively, and has failed to consolidate on this landmark success due to the fact that we do not have continuity and there has been this obsession to experiment and overpopulate the team with more Home grown players. Analysts all had problems naming incoming players at the Confederations cup for example.
Ever since I expressed my personal disagreement at the huge number of Local based players that represented Nigeria at the just concluded Confederations cup, on Supersport, thousands have clearly stated their understanding and agreement of the point of view just as some, our super Eagles Nations cup winning coach, Stephen Keshi included, have disagreed and made some regrettable comments. this I feel is quite unfortunate and personal.
The basis behind my comments (which were shared by every other consultant at the Supersport panel) were to help and bring attention to the fact that we needed to urgently improve our local league to maintain our new status and gradually add new home based in the mix in other not to burn the ends.
As we speak, I have discussed with Mr Nduka Irabor (Chairman of the N. Pro League) on how I can help them through my position and know how to improve our league standard so it can be productive again. Who knows we might just get it back on track after all.
What Is So Special About Foreign Based Players?
If you are a Foreign based pro. it is not because these foreign clubs want to do you a favour, it is because you are one of the best from your country, simple. By gradually trying to wage a war against these players who ply their trade week in week out at the highest level leagues in the world we are turning our back to our best and waging a war against ourselves, they are Nigerians too I must remind !
They should not be cast away just because our technical crew lack the skills to manage them at the detriment of Nigeria.
Ever asked why The out flux of Nigerian home based to Europe has reduced drastically in recent years? It is because the Europeans for example after several scouting visits to our local league games find the tempo and standard quite low, not credible and with the crisis in the world have little time to wait for years work to upgrade these players, otherwise Sunday Mba, who I find quite solid & talented should have been bought immediately after the AFCON!
The unbalanced flooding of home based is a strategy that can work at the AFCON level etc but at the world stage, we will play well but lose, like we used to do in the 80′s & 90′s prior to 1994 and now did at the Confederations cup!
Unless this trend is done for other personal reasons outside that of the direct interest of the nation which we are not aware of!
My Take
My belief is not that we should not use home based players, far from it, if Sunday Mba was not at the Nations cup in 2013 for Nigeria I do not think we might have won it, at least like we did. He however was well surrounded by Victor Moses, Emmanuel Emeneke etc and made his contributions productive and easier. We saw how this poor boy struggled at the Confed. cup just 4 months after doing us proud in South Africa! Oboabona is one of my favourites and with some more polishing would go places internationally!
The Speed Of World Level Soccer,Today
The Confederations cup was of a higher level than the AFCON: high level tactics, Advanced Coaching, speed of execution and result orientation was on display and the world cup next year will be even at a faster pace. That am sorry is why I feel a gradual introduction of home based players, shouldered and protected by experience should have been the case, cause the scenarios for them to play at this level are absent at the moment!
I believe you noticed how at ease Obi Mikel was Vs Spain or Uruguay, the man is used to these kind of players and their level, simple !
Players are not Made at The National teams but by the clubs and leagues so improving our league standard should be the priority!
Why National Coaches are called Managers, Technical Advisers & not a full coach .
National team coaches are called Managers because they are not supposed to form players due to the short time they have to work with them, but they are supposed to be good at selecting like or complementary players, mix them up to produce results.
When mighty France of 1998 won the World cup and the Euros 2000 they had few players from the then solid French league but mainly from the then better Italian league that was at its best.
Our priority should be improving our league and the use of the CAF Home based Nations cup to get experience for the home based will be wise!
Stephen Keshi’s Job Is The Last Thing I Want!
I can understand that Keshi feels threatened by the possibility of a sack and back stabbing, but my comments should not be seen as coming from a possible successor unless one is desperate, which I thank God I am not!
His job is the last thing that I or my family need. I know the custom lately amongst some of the coaching crew in our dear country has been attacking the incumbent to take his place, but I believe I have proven over and over again that my consultancy company and my life that I have spent 23 years to build in Europe which I cherish dearly is more precious to me than the day to day stress that comes with Being the Super Eagles coach!
I wonder how I will continue to run my 6 year old consultancy business that has now gone global, coach my youth team, fulfil my new but cherished introduction into FIFA with the Super Eagles Coaching job 6000 kilometres away from my family!
I have said this uncountable times, although I love my country it is not in my wildest dreams to manage the super eagles otherwise I would have accepted the NFF Technical director job and eventually the super Eagles.
If he can accept our support and praise, he should accept our constructive critics in the interest of the country and making enemies left and right is not the way to go, obviously some of us do not learn from the past! The interest of Nigeria comes first than that of Sunday Oliseh or Stephen Keshi !
How should it have been?
As we saw with Brazil at the Confed. Cup, continuity makes a team grow. Ever since we won the Nations cup in February our team line-up has been unpredictable and full of constant changes. In a year leading to the world cup that should not be the case.
True we had injuries to key players but they had people on the bench for them at the Afcon who should have taken over the baton and continue with the spirit of the AFCON and new players invited to understudy.
Nigeria is bigger than anyone and for the records sake in answer to Keshi’s erroneous declaration, I was 3 years as a pro in Belgium and a regular player in liege by 1993 when I got my first call up to the super Eagles and in those days our national league was ‘fire’, well organised, competitive, balanced and one of the best in Africa. That’s how Clemence Westerhoff and Bonfrere Jo succeeded!
It is unfortunate that Keshi sees enemies everywhere and maybe it is understandable but the interest of Nigeria’s progress is what we all should be seeking now and I believe making attacks like he is doing is not the right way to go about it, we are way too matured for that, at least I know I am!

Keshi To Oliseh: You Were Nobody When You Started
Story by Precious
The Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi, has taken a swipe at former teammate, now football analyst and coach, Sunday Oliseh, for criticising his selection.
Oliseh, though commended the Super Eagles and Keshi led technical crew for their Confederation Cup performances, criticised Keshi for going to the competition with eight home-based players; arguing that Nigeria's best players were in Europe and players only remained in the Nigerian league because they were yet to get European clubs to sign them.
Keshi, in a scathing response to Oliseh, told journalists that Oliseh was a nobody when he made his debut too.
"It is a shame that Sunday Oliseh could say a thing like that. He was a nobody when he came to the national team. He started from home too," Keshi said.
"When he came to the national team, I took him as a younger brother. I later (as an assistant coach Ahmodu Shuaibu) made him captain and he became a super star. Who knows what these boys could become in future?"
"Is it bad that we are trying to build a team with the inclusion of home-based players? Please, help me question the integrity of those who are opposed to this and tell them what it's right," Keshi fired.
Nigeria crashed out of the FIFA Confederation Cup in Brazil at the group stage after losing to Uruguay and Spain, days after their only victory against That.

Brazil Stun Spain In Confed Final
By precious
Driven on by the passion of a fiercely partisan crowd, the five-time world champions signalled their intent ahead of next summer's World Cup by ending Spain's 29-match unbeaten record with a majestic display.
Fred scored twice, but Neymar again stole the show, scoring Brazil's second goal with a rasping left-foot shot.
To compound Spain's misery, Sergio Ramos missed a second-half penalty before Gerard Pique was sent off for bringing down Neymar as last man, with 22 minutes remaining.
At the final whistle, the Brazil fans proudly chanted 'the champions are back'. With David Luiz and Thiago Silva providing solidity at the back, the midfield generalship of Paulinho and the mercurial talents of Neymar in attack, the Selecao will certainly be a formidable proposition next year.
The streets around the Maracana had been a place of contrasts in the hours before the game. While protestors clashed with police a mile or so away, tens of thousands of Brazil fans danced in the streets.
The noise built to an incredible crescendo in the hour before kick-off, culminating with the Brazilian anthem, that stirred the passions of the partisan crowd.
History, too, was against Vicente Del Bosque's Spanish side. Brazil have not lost a competitive match on home soil since 1975 and you have to go back to 1934 to find the last time Spain had beaten them in a competitive match, home or away.
If Spain had dreamt of conjuring an early goal that might take the sting out of the mighty Maracana, they were made to think again by a Brazil side that pressed and probed and, carried on by the sheer emotion inside the stadium, snatched the lead inside two minutes.
Hulk's cross from the right was knocked down by Neymar at the back post. Fred lost his footing but as the ball came back his way, he swung a boot at it from the ground, lifting the ball up and over Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas and into the net.
Spain, normally so calm and controlled, briefly lost their way. Oscar fired narrowly wide from a fantastic chance, while Casillas scrambled back to claw Paulinho's deft lob from under his crossbar.
Brazil pressed Spain with an intensity that has become their own hallmark in recent times. They attacked with a fluency and flair that unsettled the world champions and that left Pique and Ramos flummoxed time and time again.
On two occasions during the first half, Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers decided against sending Spain defenders off after first Neymar and then Oscar were tripped when through on goal. Both Ramos and Alvaro Arbeloa were show yellow cards, much to Brazil's frustration.
Spain did create chances, but Andres Iniesta forced a save from Julio Cesar. Indeed, the Barcelona midfielder was at the heart of Spain's few constructive moments. He started the move that saw Torres's reverse pass free Jordi Alba who in turn found Pedro only for David Luiz to appear from nowhere and slice a shot that was rolling into the net, high over the bar to safety.
Brazil were finding the strength to block crosses, charge down shots and they attacked with cohesion and confidence. Hulk sent Fred through on goal only for Casillas to come to Spain's rescue.
But Brazil would not be denied. With half-time approaching, they poured forward again, this time with Neymar. The 21-year-old exchanged passes with Oscar, cleverly coming back onside, took one touch and fizzed a left-foot shot high beyond Casillas and into the net.
The Maracana rose to acclaim their boy wonder as one, but Spain looked shell-shocked as the celebrations continued all around them.
Spain were desperate to hear the half-time whistle. But even that brought only 15 minutes of respite. They were booed as they re-emerged onto the pitch and within two minutes they were three behind, as Fred rolled a delightful first-time finish beyond Casillas to twist the knife.
Nothing was going Spain's way. Even when they won a penalty when Marcelo flicked a leg at substitute Jesus Navas, Ramos pulled his shot tamely wide, much to the delight of the Maracana. It was a moment that encapsulated Spain's evening.
The world champions continued to push, with Pedro twice drawing top-class saves from Cesar late on before the hosts lifted the trophy.
For Brazil, the party has only just begun.

I Only Wanted To Use And Dump You—Iyanya Tells Yvonne Nelson

Speaking on Tim Westwood show in the UK, Iyanya said he only wanted the actress for pleasure and not for true love like she would have thought in her mind. “Yvonne Nelson, I lost your medicine. She called that she’s coming over and I ride her like a ‘jangolova’. All I want is your waist, no emotions, no tears, no letters, no love, no nothing. All I want is your waist, she ain’t even know it. She brought emotions.” Hope Yvonne will not be angry with Iyanya again after this confession? | |||
Most People Think I’m A Lesbian—Fast-Rising Female Act-Nene Johnson

While those in the Western world have openly associated themselves with lesbianism since their laws have legalised the act, Nigerian celebrities have vehemently dissociated themselves from it because it is seen as immoral and unlawful. It is very common to hear celebs claiming that they are not gays, but are quick to state that they get approached by same sex relationship freaks. For fast-rising and pretty female singer, Nene Johnson, the fact that some people think she is a lesbian gives her headache. She confessed that the impression some people have about her is that she is one, but added that she is not happy about this. According to the Abia State-born talented and sexy singer, “some people think that I am not straight (sex orientation) and I always tell them that I am very straight.” She added that. “I get approached (by lesbians) all the time. I just try to be friendly and displace them.” Telling us about how she handles the stubborn ones, the actress said, “I just stubbornly tell them that I am not into it.” Nene Johnson recently released her single entitled; ‘Tonight’. The song is gradually gaining favourable airplays. She also recently changed her stage name from NEJ to Nene Johnson, which she says is now paying off. | |||
Fear Grips Tonto, Denies Writing Marijuana Tweet

Apparently worried by the reactions the post and the NDLEA reported investigation created, the actress denied the post and claimed that a fan wrote the post and not her. Tonto said, “A fan wrote the words with herbs on my birthday, and i replied: 'thank you teampoko'. Now, how does someone else's action become my crime? "If I said those words ('Mi smoke gaja mi smoke wee while my haters smoke ma gossip'), I will stand by them but I didn't. Just because it is convenient for people to believe the lies still doesn't make it the truth. "The whole thing is falsified by people who just love to have fun at other's expense. Let's put some thought to some of the things we write. Don't just cut and paste. If you cannot find me holding a wrap of marijuana, then you may want to slow down on your assumptions." madam Tonto why you come the fear na. | |||
