He gave a detailed account on Sunday through his twitter handle which has a link to his blog, Sunday Oliseh.tv
It would be recalled that Oliseh resigned in February barely six months on his job giving reasons that his leaving was because of the unpaid salaries and poor working conditions. Adding that some players like Mikel Obi, Vincent Enyeama and Victor Moses did not make his stay easy at all.
Speaking about his near death experience he said, “One day whilst coaching the Super Eagles in Abuja stadium prior to the Burkina Faso game, all of a sudden I felt dizziness, light headedness, headache and could barely stand. I managed to finish the session before calling on the doctor into my room who was clueless to what was happening.
“From then on it was sleepless nights, loss of appetite, high blood pressure and before I knew it I started losing weight. After several visits to doctors abroad nothing was found though the doctors found anomalies they couldn’t pin point the actual illness to.
“For weeks I was bed ridden, lost 7 kilos and could barely walk 5 metres without sitting down. My family was petrified and all feared the worst. One thing was for sure though: had I not taking that evening flight to Germany when I did, there was a strong possibility of a far worse outcome. Thank God for his mercies.”
