The American revealed his displeasure with the Nigerian media for the umpteenth time as he had in the past also taken aim at the media.

“Honestly, media in Nigeria is very negative. We don’t want a distraction in our team.”

We are trying to qualify for the World Cup & the teams must be isolated,” he said.

According to Nigerian journalists in Morocco, the coach refused them coverage of the team walk on Thursday.

“You know what? I really don’t want to comment on that right now because one thing I want to say is the Press in Nigeria make a lot of comments that aren’t accurate, ” Waldrum said at the time.
