Former Super Eagles Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh, is under severe attack over his comments on social media shortly after Real Madrid defeated Atletico to clinch the UEFA Champions League trophy. Many Nigerians are apparently not happy with Oliseh because his comment which was a congratulatory message on Twitter to Real Coach Zinadine Zidane was contrary to his actions. Oliseh stated that Zidane used to advise him about positive thinking being the ultimate in football and in life. His followers then told him he forgot this advice as the coach of Super Eagles.
The followers who are obviously still angry with Oliseh over his shock exit from Eagles argued that if he remembered the advice, he wouldn’t have made allegations about witches affecting his performance while serving the country as the head coach.
Oliseh and Zidane were together at Juventus and so the former Nigerian international had tweeted: “Congrats to Zidane for a lightning return to the top of world football. As he used to insist to me at Juventus: Positive thinking is everything.”
One of his followers, Deyinka with the handle @Nat_Ade tweeted “Sebi na the same European coaching license una get but witch no let you see road.” Another follower, Webb of life with handle @rotimark said: “He wouldn’t be there at the top if he said everyone around him as witches out to harm him. That is positive thinking.”
For Obinna with Twitter handle @vkhtor, …”That guy (Oliseh) destroyed our AFCON 2017 hopes even before the Egypt ties. He was only after the money.” Chikezie Dozie with the handle @chikeziedozie said: “Guy, go siddon, we’ve seen how much of a positive thinker you became…”
Yemi tweeted with the handle @rickeyyyyyy that: “Maybe you should have remembered that when you were given the opportunity to make a difference.” Opeayo Fadeyi however advised the former Eagles skipper to work more on his temperament.
With the handle@1opeayo, Opeayo tweeted: “Sir, learn from Zidane, you’ve got the technical ability but you must work on your temperament.” Charles N. Onyekaba with the handle @amoroka :“Yet you still had negative thinking and you chose to run away.”
After over 50 hot comments in reaction to his tweet, Oliseh took time to reply one of the early respondents, Deyinka. He tweeted: “Common guys, I am truly sorry for resigning as coach of Nigeria but three months after, I have moved on, join me instead of being bitter.” Okogba Emmanuel appreciated the coach with his reply and tweeted: “I guess Oliseh has a point. Very mature reply.”
