The Bayelsa born coach made some startling revelations, saying he's been owed salary for five months and that he and his players have been disrespected by the Nigeria Football Federation and Sports Ministry all through out their Olympic journey.
According to Siasia, he has begged his players to carry on playing for the country up till this point but he is tired and that if the players decide to boycott the quarter final match against Denmark at Rio 2016, he'll support them.
“We have been disrespected from all angles – the sports ministry, the Nigeria Football Federation. Is that how you will treat your own children? We are not street kids,” former Super Eagles coach Siasia said on Brila FM Sports Radio on Friday morning.
“We have only been paid allowances for 11 days. There is no match bonus. What of all the months we have been training in Nigeria and Atlanta? That’s not fair. I have not received my salary for the past five months. Everything is upside down and the boys don’t want to play anymore. Whatever they want to do, I’m with them. They are right for fighting for their rights.”Siasia continued: “The country already has a bad image, but through football it has got some good image, but still they won’t let us play.
“I have begged these boys, but I cannot do more than what I have done to get this team up to this point. I have done my best and now I am tired.”The NFF in a statement denied ordering the players to return their Jerseys back to the NFF's office in Nigeria after the Olympics, but Siasia also slammed the report, saying they were ordered to return their kits.
”The NFF ordered that they bring back the jerseys (from Brazil). Siji Lagunju (of the NFF technical department) was directed to bring the jerseys back to the NFF.”
Shame to our NFF..
ReplyDeleteLET ME HEAR WORD PLS! Afterall you and your corrupt NFF officials were the ones who sacked OLISEH. The man who was about bringing stability to NFF and orderliness. But because he wasn't as corrupt and greedy as all of you, you pursued him away.
DeleteIf na me be the players sef..I go just pack my boot and socks dey go house. It's like you are playing for nothing. 5 good months of no payment? am I playing for charity
Did you say shame? Those NFF people are heartless that's how they frustrated Stephen Keshi to death, Shuaibu Ahmad and now they want to kill Siasia, it is now their own turn wicked souls our indigenous coaches would be doing their best but this blood suckers will only be interested in bringing grade Y oyibo coaches just because it's their avenues of milking the economy dry

ReplyDeleteUseless NFF of Nikeriya. God go punish all the bad people in NFF.
ReplyDeleteChange! Sai Buhari
ReplyDeleteI think the NFF needs a total overhaul because I don't see any reason they could owe the coach up to 5 months, or will the claim they too haven't been paid in the ministry?
ReplyDeleteI'M NOT SURPRISED, SO FAR AS IT'S IN THIS DOOMED COUNTRY
ReplyDeleteAUNTY LINDA 👩
Siasia, please blame it on d immediate past GEJ adminstration and fallen petroleum prices....Nigeria is now a poor country on account of both reasons.The ultimate excuse nowadays for government inefficiency.
ReplyDeleteShame! Shame!! Shame!!!
ReplyDeleteNFF and so called Sports ministry in Nigeria r d worst ever and may d living Lord punish who so ever is doing dis to our football in Nigeria. How on earth will u do dis to our coach and players and expect them to perform mean while u want to pay foreign coach millions but can't take care of ur local coach and players.
Thank God for d adage 'whatsoever comes around goes around'. The so called NFF and d people tarnishing our images will surely face God judgement. U deprived a coach his salary and they smile to d bank monthly stealing our money and hard earned tax payers money.
It's well wit our souls.
Chai.. Nigeria is gone.
ReplyDeleteNo body should blame these guys when dey lose to Denmark o,,,,,,,me am in support o. let them just fail and come back home. they are killing there morals aswear..........
ReplyDeleteI really feel for Him. Our govt is sincere.
ReplyDeleteGod help us. Everything is wrong with the management of this nation. We cherish foreigners than our own breed heroes here. Why can't we celebrate them now for their services now than owning them till they die in serving and not even remember them after death.
ReplyDeleteWhat a country...yet you blame them for not qualifying! How will they focus on winning,when their minds arent at peace? #EvilGovt
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Its Jonathan's fault PDP fault they have spoiled all the Kits please call Lar Muhameed to announce it to the world, APC and their lies its just matter of time all ur lies and propaganda will be exposed to Nigerians,

ReplyDeleteThat is what the economy is saying to everybody, the trader are dancing to the tone, the salary earners are singing to the bit, the transporters are facing it. it your own turn,everybody have his/her own to says. let pray for a better Nigeria
ReplyDeleteHYPOCRISY IS WHEN YOU SUPPORTED APC GOVERNORS FOR CHALLENGING GEJ ADMINISTRATION IN COURT TO SHARE ALL THE NATIONAL COFFERS WHEN GEJ INTENDED TO SAVE FOR FUTURE, WHICH THE APC GOVERNORS LATER WON THE CASE. SURPRISINGLY, YOU TURN AROUND TODAY TO BLAME GEJ FOR NOT SAVING DURING RAINING PERIOD.
ReplyDeleteINSTEAD OF FIGHTING THE OPPOSITION PARTY BECAUSE YOU ARE IN POWER TODAY CONTINUITY SHOULD HAVE BE THE BEST WAY OUT. HOWEVER, BUHARI AND APC ARE BUSY KILLING NIGERIA WITH THEIR INCOMPETENCY AND MISMANAGEMENT THEN TURN AROUND TO PUT THE BLAMING ON GEJ AND PAST REGIME.
BUHARI AND APC ALSO RELY ON MAKING NOISES WITH FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN DECEIVING NIGERIANS TO COVER THEIR CLUELESS AND IT OBVIOUS THEY ARE CONFUSED AND RUNNING OUT OF LIES NOW. THE REASON IBB REMOVE BUHARI FROM POWER IN 1985 IS REPEATING ITSELF NOW THAT BUHARI HAS FAILED THE NATION ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS SECOND CHANCE AND NO AMOUNT OF HIS EXCUSES WILL COVER THIS FACT.
Everything is upside down in this country. This Buhari is pure badluck I swear. Bag of rice is 20k. Minimum wage is 18k.buhari should just resign. I guess he's too old to handle things I blame myself for voting for him. Big regret.
ReplyDeleteand the stupid nama from Daura asked them not to return without gold, after they weren't given any motivations... Na God go destroy APC just the way they've destroyed our dear nation... and to think GEJ never joked with issues concerning sports in our country, smh... I really miss GEJ..
ReplyDeleteNo Oh!
ReplyDeleteIt's jonathan's fault oh!
He and his entourage ripped Nigeria to pieces..
President Buhari I just want you to kindly know that if Jesus tarries come 2019, My vote will be the one to KICK you out
National embarrassment. FG can use taxpayers money to subsidize dollar for people going for Haj but money to pay people who are actually working for their money, the level of embarrassment cluelessness and lack of direction of the APC government is no longer something to joke about.170 million people should not have to continue to suffer at the hands of a few people who clearly do not know what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, its no news. A corrupt nation like ours, it will soon die down again. D president hasnt got listening ears so lets keep quiet ooo. We are in for real trouble just watch
ReplyDelete#BRING BACK OUR BOYS#ALL THESE ARE EFFORTS TO IMPOSE A NOTHERN COACH IF SIASIA RESIGNS. IS THE PICTURE BECOMING CLEARER TO YOU GUYS?
ReplyDeleteI smell truth in Wat u just said.. Cos everyone is being replaced by either a Muslim OR a northener
