Oliseh was a part of the Super Eagles, which won the 1994 AFCON tournament and reached the round of sixteen stage of the 1994 FIFA World Cup under the tutelage of Clemens Westerhof.

Following a recent argument on social media about which generation of the Nigerian team had the better players, comparing the 1980 team to the 1994 team.

The former Juventus midfielder jumped to the defence of the 1994 squad, revealing no generation of Nigerian has yet to match what the squad achieved.

“Well, you can easily rate the teams and players by what they achieved both at the club side and the National team levels. With all due respect, no team, collectively or individually, to date has come close to what the 1994 team players achieved for club and country. Sorry,” the former Ajax midfielder wrote on his X page.
