Foreign clubs respect European coaches--Oliseh
Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Owlish reflects on his football career, determined to correct all the wrong impressions” about his personality. He spoke to Mumini Alao in Aachem, Germany…
I don’t speak German but I was listening to your conversation with the waitress. You sounded very fluent and I know your English and French are also impeccable. Apart from football, you do have a talent for picking up languages, don’t you?
I will say I’m fortunate but I also make great effort to learn. This is my 14th year in Europe but I discovered very early that the fastest way to integrate is to speak the local language. When you can communicate with the people, you stand a greater chance of making friends. Mind you, I also speak Italian, so we are talking about four European languages plus my local Nigerian dialects!
What does your son, Denzel, speak?
Well, Denzel is now seven years old and he prefers to speak French. But he can also speak English. Personally, I speak English with him. Right now you are in Germany. Does he speak German, too. No, and I hope he wouldn’t do that
Why?
Three languages will be too much for a boy his age. He might just get confused. Besides, German is not all that easy.
You have been in Europe for 14 years, playing in Belgium, Italy, Holland and now Germany. Where have you met your greatest challenge?
With Juventus in Italy, of course. At Standard Liege (Belgium), I was a young player just starting a career so the pressure was not much. After four years, I moved to Reggiana in Italy and later FC Koln in Germany. Always one step higher at a time. From Koln, I got offers from AC Milan and Ajax Amsterdam. I chose Ajax to have a taste of Dutch football as well and there I won my first club trophy. Later I went to Juventus and from there Borussia Dortmund came for me. Juventus was tough for me because it was a huge cluba dn they wanted so much from me. Unfortunately, I joined them when I was captain of the Super Eagles and it was difficult balancing between my club assignment and national team duties, for me, Nigeria naturally came first because, as captain, I had to set good examples for my colleagues. I remember the 2000 Nations Cup. I was away for eight weeks and before I returned, Juventus were top fo the league and I couldn’t get my place back in the team. It was a relief when Dortmund came for me.
Did it last?
Unfortunately, it didn’t. the 2002 World Cup qualifiers soon began and I started running into problems with Mathias Sammer (Dortmund coach). It was the same problem of always leaving to play for Nigeria.
Is that why Dortmund loaned you to FC Bochum?
My relationship with Sammer deteriorated so I had to go on loan. Actually, I had an offer from Betis Sevilla of Spain which was very good and I was keen to go there. But Dortmund blocked the move by imposing a big transfer fee. So I settled for the loan move to Bochum. Bochum is where you made world headlines for the wrong reasons. Why did you give your teanmate Vahid Hashemian a head-butt right in front of television cameras?
He made racist remarks at me. Nobody insults my country to my face and gets away with it.
How did it happen exactly?
The whole thing started in the dressing room at half-time. The match was goalless and we desperately needed to win. After the coach had spoken, the goalkeeper too complained that some of our guys were dribbling too much. I just added to no one in particular. “Gentlemen, let’s play it simple.” The coach agreed with me and said in German: “Genau, genau,” meaning “right, that’s right.” Maybe Vahid felt I was trying to instruct him. So when we returned to the field, he said something like I should never lecture him again because this is not Africa where we behave like animals. Something like that. I can’t take that from anybody.
You broke his nose?
It’s unfortunate that he got hurt, but his action prompted my reaction.
But you should have realized that your reaction would attract greater condemnation. You know in football, a foul gets a yellow card, but a retaliation gets a red?
It’s easier for people to analysis an event after it has happened. But on the spur of the moment, even they couldn’t predict how they would have reacted.

Oliseh displayed great leadership. The shocking thing is the NFF official who carried this terrible act are regular Nigerians o! Yet they will scream that this country is not good. The way we act as Nigerians is what is killing this country.
Nobody have said it better, God bless you for this comment.
Thank you for this comment
Yes!
They used to owe our players money in those days. Foreign based players were rich, they just spend their money for hotels, flights etc end the FA keep their money abroad collecting interests in hard currencies. Remember how they used to treat the female teams too until they won the African cup and refused to come home? The humiliated government paid them off and sacked their coaches who supported the female players. Our leaders are always our worst enemies in Nigeria.
No wonder they spread propaganda that Oliseh is proud because he didn't tolerate their rubbish.
Oliseh, you've got my respect for your principle, fairness, and standing up against blatant corruption and injustice, even when you knew that you may pay a price for it.
I have ALWAYS had a good feeling about Oliseh. He comes off as a great human being.
Thank you, Sunday Oliseh.
Oliseh, a man of principle and fairness. This should be captured in a book so the young ones can learn from history.
THANK YOU OLISEH.
These are part of the reasons Olishe felt betrayed after 2002 AFCON where as usuall, they wanted to shortchange the Eagles. He stood in front to lead the fight. They disbanded the team and some men decided to acept invitation forom back door to go to WC in 2002. The result was horrible. Nigerians are our worse Enemies. Please, we neem more of these stories to let Nigerian know we have true heros and they should be celebrated
This story about Oliseh gladdens my heart. I went to school with him in Festac Town with his brothers too. We need people like him to stand up for the truth and justice.
Vanity upon vanity
But he suffered it. Dropped from World Cup unceremoniously by Ishaya Mark Aku and Onigbibde after qualifying Nigeria for the game. For Nigeria to have another team like theirs, we must apologize to them and give them befitting send off for sacrificing so much. He was down with Malaria in 2000 Afcon but had to defy that to save Nigeria from Senegalese disgrace right in Lagos. That was truly a golden team
Oliseh you’re a great leader
Sunday Oliseh is a devout Christian and a very good and practicing catholic with integrity in his days. I knew his siblings. A patriotic Nigerian. Wish those people went into politics to give us honest people at the top of our country. Top man. Nigerian leadership class have always stolen from Nigeria and divided us between ourselves and created discrimination based on stupidity to divide and control Nigerians like slaves. Which our people can wake up and unite against our leaders. We would reach our potentials as a collective if we do. Our leaders are our worst enemies. ❤🇳🇬🦅
Oliseh, a great captain. Good one from Duke Udi.
Sunday oliseh has always shown he is a great leader. Those are the kind of leaders we need in NFF and other sectors in Nigeria
The narration gave solid understanding to reason why the Super Eagles team was disbanded in 2002, after qualifying for the world cup, and the likes of Oliseh, Finidi, Babangida, Celestine,Agali and some other names I can't recall were shown the way out. Although it's 22 years now, but nothing seems different. Reasons why we now have journeymen coaching our national teams
Who is this particular player speaking here? I can't recognise him

When i fist listened to your program i hated the way you spit fire . But after a year that i came back i began to understand where you are coming and the kind of balance you want to bring to the Nigerian system. Men you get gut to have aired this video online. I know you know a lot that's rotten in that football house . Keep doing your job soon the righteous shall be runningbthe affair of this country and you will be among them. I want the haters of Oliseh to come out now.
Duke udi, Karibe Ojigwe… reliable midfielders!
Oliseh was my head boy in methodist boys high school he has always been a man of principle and justice, he doesn't like when someone is being oppressed.
Glad Oliseh is still alive to see this! Always assuring and solid on the pitch and in character. Eagle No 15
OLISEH is a great guy that we lost. He was removed from the Super Eagles for his uprightness and people-centered leadership. The Nigerian establishment hate people like him.
Yep. However, not just him but other senior players like Finidi too. The were betrayed by Okocha, that's how he Okocha became captain after Oliseh them were axed from the team for indiscipline as NFA then said...
True
In every organization there most be one person who will speak out. After that punishment come
Respect to Skipo Subda Olishe. I wish all Nigerians can be selfless and look out fir each others. Its so sad how wicked Nigerians can be when they have the slightest opportunity for control. How can u eat other people's money. Na whichcraft be this.
This has to go viral
Oliseh has earned my respect
My favorite player, I watched him against bendel insurance, world class player
LEON BALOGUN IS SUFFERING THIS NOW BECAUSE HE SPOKE OUT AND STOOD UP NOW SEE HE HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE TEAM.
Really?
Ishaya Mark Aku, who later died in a plan crash, was the Minister of Sports then.
No-nonsense Oliseh.
Inspiring story.
Omo, "No gree 4 anybody" don tey be that o!😂
Naija sha. Na we be our own issue. Fraud in Broad daylight.
Kudos to Oliseh on this one.
Thanks for this documentary. Time flies. Madness 😢 !
Whaow, this is Duke Udi?
Oliseh is a great disciplinarian. This is why they hate him so much. We need someone like him to manage the Eagles.
Oliseh has earned my utmost respect all over again. What a Captain we had? However I'm still angry with the way he treated Vincent Enyama during his time as a Coach. Hopefully he will come out & tell us the true story of that happen. Vincent Enyama needs to clear the air too. Bless you Sir Edafe.
Oliseh is a victim in the Enyeama saga, you don't know the truth. He just wanted a team that is discipline that's all
@@ELEGBETETV I completely agree with you sir. His managerial way on how he wanted to bring in the discipline was what we didn't like considering the situation we where at that time. Thank you for the enlightenment sir..
Enyeama left camp without informing the coach after he received call from home.
Oliseh didn’t treat Enyama anyhow. Rather Enyama was arrogant to subject himself to Oliseh as a coach, since it appears he met Oliseh slightly in the Super Eagles. When Oliseh took up the coaching job, the first person he travelled out to see was Enyama, being one of the most Experienced, the new coach wanted to build the team around him like Westerhof did with Keshi. Instead of showing commitment, Enyama was reluctant and was rather talking about retirement. He came late to camp, claiming he was burying his mum. Oliseh respected that, but he was acting indisciplined and disrespectful to the coach. Rather than allowing him to corrupt others, Oliseh quickly sidelined him and picked Musa as the captain. Enyama then came out and started playing the victim
The problem with Nigeria is Nigerians, not the government. We are the ones perpetuating corruption. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of people like Victor Olishe. If we had more of such men, Nigeria would be the greatest.
Even in the maritime industry in Nigeria. It is the same thing. So sad
See matter 😢
Injustice of the highest order in Olise's voice
Sunday Oliseh 💪🏽
Oliseh is from the same clan as I am. If there's anything we hate most, it's injustice and oppression. I'm not surprised he did what he did because we are wired that way. 95% of people from my clan would have done what Oliseh did or speak up about it. One thing I know for sure is that we will never keep quiet about it.
Oh shut up. It has nothing to do with his clan or your clan. Your comment is a case of trying to attach yourself and your clan with a person of honour. Why don't you also attach yourself with the crooks and criminals from your clan? Haa of course you won't.
My point is that in every clan, tribe and ethnic group, there are honourable people and dishonourable people. Your clan does not make you who you are. Oliseh is a man of honour because thats who he is as a person due to influences from his upbringing, education, religion, life experiences, wisdom and his mentality, not because he's from one clan. Dont reduce his honour and sense of justice to your clan.
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357, tell your entire lineage to shut up. Your opinion matters less under mine; put it elsewhere. Privileged fool with internet access.

Get lost with your clan rubbish. Tribal bigot.
That’s why they disbanded them after Maki 2002 and Onigbinde worked with NFF to take the team to Japan Korea with a rag tag team, Okocha, Kanu and Taribo should have resisted his omission
Okocha betrayed the other senior players.
Taribo only complained after they were knocked out of the world cup (can't recall his exact word he call the team/players) but he was quoted all over the media then.
@@barezzi0236I recalled Taribo said only 5 players played that world cup. Oliseh called Okocha a betraual but we don't know exactly why. I only hear they were not getting along as individuals except that they play games together.
I really could not substantiate these rumours.
I used to think Oliseh was an arrogant hothead. But I have renewed respect for him.
Poor interview not mentioning this player's name though.
Poor interview or you are the one with poor eye sight? The player's name is clearly on the screen but you think you have to talk nonsense.
@ELEGBETETV You are right, I just noticed his name was displayed for the first few seconds. That makes it easy for most viewers to miss after clicking to watch the video. Normally, interview videos let the name linger at the start of the clip, then several times during the interview.
@@DamaniDanDadaryou na small boy, them never born you the time he played
They wanted us to believe that Oliseh was bad, but i havd always respected his no-nonsense approach which even made him beat up a club team mate in Germany.
The Nigerian system doesnt like people like Oliseh
Full video please 🙏
Most times this are reason they say Oliseh is rude. He wants thing done rightly, and can take on the NFF officials without fear.
No matter how hard you try to cover a lie, the truth will come out someday. How i wish more players would speak out. This also happened to the Super Falcons captain
One thing I can promise you is that on this channel we will get more players talking.
Pls where can i get full interview of duke udi?
Duke udi d speed star ⭐
Yet they still lebel him bad,stubborn, some player or leader now can't exhibit this can of attribute,they just do chop alone,as far their own is sort nothing concern them,nice one from Duke Udi and great job @ElegbeteTv/Radio
Hope one day, Oliseh will be exonerated from all this falsehood about him being arrogant and stubborn.
We'll know it was a lie from day one that's why I some how had bad feelings about okocha especially because I had he wanted the captain so bad that when they currupt NFA approach him and told him about making him the captain he gladly acceptable , Nigeria system never like people like Olisha
There's every chance that the NFF Officials then connived to plan to pocket the money! 🙄
We have a long way to go, what a shame
Reason shouldnt be far fetched that the team was disbanded. These "big Ogas'" instead of showing patriotism, will look for a way to short change their fellow compatriot at every turn. what a shame. Destroying a nation's dream because of greed. Then we will say the government, the government. meanwhile na we dey do ourselves first. No: 15 capo for ever. Hats of to Sunday Oliseh.
The Government and the People are all the same things , that’s just Nigeria
If I'm to summarize, I'll say those in the NFF abi NFA were exploiting the use of home base players to extort the federation
The lack of quality leadership in the capacity at which Oliseh showcases was also the reason Nigeria didn't make to the 2006 world cup in Germany
"injustice of the highest order "
Hmmm. Had to watch this twice. I just tire for naija matter. Sign for $5000 and collect 200k? Devil dey fear Nigerian leaders.
Even devil dey shout "BLOOD of GOD" for our matter.
My question is why do we keep paying in foreign currency??
Second question:Where did Sir Peter Odili get that amount of money from in 2002😅
$5000 x 25 =$125,000 x #115 (at the time)
Totals to 14.5 million naira as giveaway😂😂😂
If we talk they will say we don’t know anything
When I talk the way I talk, people who don't know think I am rude or arrogant, what they don't know is I know things and I have files and dossiers that nobody have.
I was thinking the same thing
Paying non-resident workers in dollars or pounds for a one-time service is common all over the world. Especially since they'll almost always need to first convert it before leaving the country where they performed the service. I've seen this done for consultants, engineers, contract pilots, coaches, etc.
Dollar is liquid globally. Naira is not. Fact.
Oil money! And he was meant to be the presidential flag bearer for the PDP with surety from OBJ but got swindled by Baba himself.
Tinubu and APC were the problem then 🙄🙄🙄
The truth will always come out
How did the NFF strike back? They sacked the Coach that qualified for the world cup - Shuaibu Amodu and replaced him with High Priest Onigbinde. They also dropped all the players that qualified including Oliseh himself. 😂😂😂😂😂
Naija has been sieged by evil people for long.
That was a Captain 😢.
Duke Udi wasn't invited after that ordeal
Only Duke? Even Oliseh too. In fact the team was disbanded. We went to WC 2002 with new players except Jayjay, Kanu and Taribo who accepted the call back.
For some people that DONT read headlines, those that read in between lines know Nigeria is gone. God when will this Nigeria be divided for good.
So when Nigeria is divided? The naturally corrupt nature of Nigerians will change abi?
Plenty werey for NFF,ni wonder they wanted the guy out by all means necessary.
This will explain why Duke Is didn't get subsequent call ups too! Personal interests put above National interest, SMH!!!
It's that money picknic used to buy Rolls-Royce Nff chairman for years
Yeye dey smell
Through out his time as chairman no progress
Tinibu's inlaw
Oga watin concern Amaju and events of 2002? Sometimes if you don't know what to say, it is okay to stay quiet.
And he wasn't invited anymore to the national team.
That's Double standard nah. Well!. Trust your guts in anything you do.
Who is this
Who is the guy talking. Context needed
That’s one of the greatest defenders Nigeria ever had; Duke Udi
@@adeyemijonathan7844 He was not a defender sir, he in the outside right.
But his name is there on this video na
My apologies. Although obvious, I totally missed it.
You should have mentioned the name(s) of the person(s) who told you to sign for the naira.
After over twenty years such people would have no connections to frustrate you by now.
Let public shaimg come back.
The person is dead
Can you imagine ? Very bad
Why are they paying Nigerians in dollars? Is that our currency?🎉
Personally, I don't understand why we go to competitions as Nigerians with our Nigeria children and go and carry a foreigner as Coach. Is that not colonial mentality?
Is it not a Black Coach ,11th minute replacement Coach that just handed the 2023 CAF 1st place Gold award to Core d voire??
A man of integrity like Sunday Oliseh will definitely have problems with oyr football federation
How can you Title this story a CRIME?
English dey pursue you but you are just faster 🤦♂️🤣
Since you don't understand the contest of a conversation, it would have been better to stay away but you want to have opinion
Currupt NFF.
Chai ...Very terrible
Oliseh was the worst manager for the green eagles 🎉
You don't know
Your minority opinion
Oliseh didn't coach the green eagles...He isn't Otto Gloria, nor Clement Westerhoff.
@@henryalake1237 Kai, you wicked, see as u finish this man😅
I believe u are an Igbo man. Your tribe hates him for sticking to his identity as an Ika man. Oliseh is Ika hero.
Anioma hero.
Man of good words. Oliseh
If it were to be me I would collect the 200k, sign the register and leave because I know what I want.
Secondly, On his other video He said Bonfere Jo took him to Grasshoppers of Switzerland were he signed his 1st European contract then things didn't go to well and Bonfere took him to Herenveen in Holland were he refused to play and returned to 3SC. That wasn't a good decision at all because Bonfere was the U23 team coach then who went to become Super Eagles coach in 1998 world cup, for the coach to be taking you to clubs to get him signed up shows he believes in the player's abilities and the little sacrifices he could have done was to endure and as he's enduring he's always sure to be getting national call ups because the coach got his back. He made many bad decisions that affected his career because all those senior players he mentioned also paid their dues before they reached those heights but will never talk about it because it's of no use to talk about it because it favored them. Most of those senior players never got it on a platter of gold too, they had prices to pay when they were upcoming. Bye bye 👋
