Ex Nigeria international, Sunday Oliseh Oliseh has risen to the defence of Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama over his 'unguarded statement' on the choice of Kaduna as the host of Nigeria's Afcon qualifier against Chad.
Enyeama has been under fire from the NFF since making the supposed uncomplimentary remarks. Speaking today on Brilla FM, Oliseh stated that Enyeama deserves better treatment from the Nigerian football governing body adding that his query was uncalled for.
Quote
" He's not a civil servant why are you querying him, he's a professional football player, the Captain and he aired his opinion that I think should be respected. Nigeria just likes to make trouble out of nothing."
"If my son does something wrong, I will give him a platform to air his opinion. Amaju Pinnick should have called Vincent Enyeama."
" Who do we think we are, this is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Who are the members of the committee that want to question him, these men have never played football and neither do they know how football is run. He played and won so where's the conflict?"

Yeye NFF, very soon Naija football fans will stone them. When has personal opinion become an offense in Nigeria. Is this part of the change we voted for.

Thank you Mr Sunday Oliseh for your defence. NFF are just funny set of people. Now if they played politics with the Eagles and they all get bombed in Kaduna,will the victims includes the NFF member? Whose loss would it have been? Enyeama is the captain and he is among the best 10 top goalkeepers in the world if not among the top 5.What has he said that is uncomplementary in watching out for the welfare of himself and his team mate? m

don't mind those IDIOTS. they will sit in air conditioned rooms and be stealing with pens and be talking rubbish. i know if anything happens to the players, the so called NFF will abandon them in the hospital.

the problem with NFF is puting non professional (who do not understand the professional practice) in charge. Amoju Pannick, stop pursureing shadow, leave Enyeama alone.
