While it is easy to blame and castigate Oliseh as insensitive for resigning just before an important game. it is also important to see why he made his decision and why the NFF should bear the blame.

1.They refuse to pay the coach as at when due.

2. They sack his backroom staff (Tijani Babangida) against his wish. The same thing they did to Stephen Keshi when they sack his assistant whom he has to pay by himself.

3. They kill players moral. Example the CHAN eagles were not paid bonus as at when due. How do you expect them to perform magic?

4. Taking a games to a venue even against the wish of the coach and players
The formula in football is “don’t change a winning team”. So if they are getting the result in Port Harcourt why change the venue at a most crucial game. The same thing they did that cost us qualification for world cup

5. They refuse to fund the coach’s trip to monitor his players.
Do you expect him to use his personal money for national assignment, which NFF or senator will do that?

6. Lack of total support and backing to the coach.
In the words of

Oliseh: “Due to Contract violations, lack of Support, Unpaid wages, Benefits to my players, Asst. Coaches & myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach.”

7. Complete lack of Focus.
While Egypt is taking the game against Nigeria with all seriousness having line up a friendly Burkina Faso to fine tone their strategy.
Nigeria has no plan for friendly, no plan for any good camping not even the players needed have been invited. Instead they are insisting the coach should come and defend those he wants to invite.

Note: NFF should be blamed if we don’t qualify for AFCON
